摘要:

SummaryBy grouping the cases of cerebral angioma from five neurosurgical departments, the authors gather 66 cases with, matched with those reported in the literature, enable them to study their clinical aspects and therapeutic results.Three major symptoms : the cerebro-meningeal hemorrhage, the epilepsy and the progressive neurologic deficit are dealed with in some detail. The electro-encephalographic, radiologic and pathologic aspects are described elsewhere.The various forms of medical and surgical therapy are discussed in correlation with their indication, the natural history of the disease, and the results obtained.It is believed that for any particular case, an intelligent discussion should lead to the choice between complete abstention, radical removal and carotid ligature.

摘要:

SummaryUsing the colorimetric method outlined by Cabaud, the author has studied 330 patients with miscellaneous diseases. The results agree with previous papers. The literature is discussed. Beside the well known clinical interest of the transaminase activity in the blood, many facts ask for more extensive research, particularly as far as brain and kidney diseases are concerned. Other transamination systems, as thyrosine-glutamic transaminase could prove to be of clinical interest.

摘要:

SummaryWith the use of two new methods, the measurement of the assimilation rate of glucose and a quantitative determination of the insulin effect, it is shown in the normal human that the ingestion of glucose is followed by insulin secretion. This increased secretion is shown by an increased glucose uptake by the tissues and, in some cases, by an increase of the insulin blood level.

摘要:

Summary1. Hypocorticism occurring after cortisone therapy is extremely frequent, and sometimes longlasting. There is neither clinical nor biochemical sign allowing to detect its latent phase.2. Every patient having a recent (less than one year) history of intensive cortisone therapy, will not be submitted to surgery without important hormonal therapy. Cortisone treatment should never be stopped nor replaced by ACTH when emergency surgery is planned.3. Any surgical trauma supervening in a patient having been treated with cortisone will suggest acute adrenal insufficiency, and will be treated by massive administration of cortisone.4. The weekly interruption of cortisone treatment for one single injection of ACTH does not decrease the incidence of adrenal insufficiency and should accordingly be abandoned. Nevertheless, at the end of cortisone therapy, the administration of decreasing dosage of cortisone along with ACTH during 8 days, and followed by ACTH alone during 3 or 4 days seems to offer effective protection against the impending danger of functional hypocorticism.

摘要:

SummaryThe Nelson test seems useful in the following conditions :—closing of the record of treated syphilitic patients;—confirmation or infirmation of the luetic etiology of some disease with a negative serology;—finding of positive classical serology in non syphilitic patients;—finding of negative serology in an insufficiently treated patient;—showing evidence of simulation or syphiliphobie.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors report a new case of Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (rapid fatal evolution in a 47 years old female, although treated with prednisone; haematological findings, including serological studies that gave negative results; post-mortem examination confirming the diagnosis). The authors review the pathogenic discussion (on pathological and physio-pathological grounds) about this syndrome, which might be classified, besides collagen diseases and periarteritis nodosa, amongst pathological reactions to hypersensibilization.

摘要:

SummaryIn a patient showing the complete picture of acute adrenal insufficiency, substitutive hormonal therapy induced a state of diabetes mellitus which became permanent. The action of cortisone and insulin on the carbohydrate metabolism of this patient was studied.
