摘要:

Abstract::Severe widespread sarcoid polyneuropathy with associated pulmonary involvement was treated successfully in a 26 year old man using ‘pulse’ methyl prednisolone. After he had failed to respond clinically to a two months course of high‐dose oral prednisolone, a regimen of intravenous methyl prednisolone 1 g once a week for eight weeks was instituted, along with 10 mg prednisolone orally daily. Neurological improvement began after the third dose with complete remission achieved after the eighth week. More than 12 months after cessation of treatment he remains in good health with no clinical or laboratory evidence of sarcoi

摘要:

Abstract::Fibreoptic sigmoidoscopy is a commonly used technique. However, it is not without complications. We report the rare occurrence of subcutaneous emphysema, mediastinal emphysema, and pneumoperitoneum following routine sigmoidoscopy.

摘要:

Abstract::We report two patients with inferior myocardial infarction, complicated by bradyarrhythmia, hypotension, and clinical evidence of right ventricular infarction. Conventional therapy of volume expansion and inotropic support was insufficient to maintain an adequate blood pressure. Sequential atrioventricular (AV) pacing for AV block (Case 1) or atrial pacing for junctional bradycardia (Case 2) resulted in immediate and sustained improvement in blood pressure and clinical indices of perfusion. We recommend consideration of these pacing modes in patients with inferior infarction with evidence of right ventricular infarction, bradyarrhythmia, and cardiogenic shock. The likely mechanism of improvement is by restoration of atrial transport with consequent improvement in ventricular function.

摘要:

Abstract::A child aged 3 years who developed a respiratory syncytial virus infection is described. His admission was complicated by the development of an irregular pulse. He initially had a variable first or second degree heart block with transient electrocardiographic evidence suggestive of pericarditis and/or myocarditis and later developed complete heart block. He has remained asymptomatic for the past four years. A search for other causes of the heart block proved negative. It is tempting to suggest an association between the acute RSV infection and the development of the heart block But such an association at this stage remains speculative

摘要:

Abstract::Two cases of congenital complete heart block arising during pregnancy were observed in association with a circulating maternal autoantibody to the soluble ribonucleoprotein Ro(SS‐A). Neither mother had clinical evidence of Sjogren's syndrome or systemic lupus erythematosus usually associated with anti‐Ro. However, both had a previous history of first‐trimester abortion and laboratory evidence of autoimmunity, and one gave a history of sialadenitis. Maternal anti‐Ro antibodies may be predictive of infantile heart block when present in pregnant women with overt or suspected multisystem autoimmune

摘要:

Abstract::Two patients with diffuse lymphoma, one diffuse large cell and the other diffuse mixed, large and small cell, developed an illness characterised by a high swingeing fever and a pulmonary infiltrate. In both patients there was clinical evidence of chemotherapy‐induced tumour response elsewhere at the time lung infiltrates progressed. Blood and sputum cultures, bronchial washings, and, in one case, trans‐bronchial lung biopsy did not establish a diagnosis and there was progressive clinical deterioration. Post mortem examination showed widespread involvement of both lungs with lymphoma. The differential diagnosis of fever and pulmonary infiltrates in patients with diffuse lymphoma is discussed, in particular the possibility of this being due to rapidly progressive lym
