摘要:

Summary:Liver biopsies obtained from 100 alcoholic patients attending a clinic primarily for the management of their alcoholism, have been reviewed. The morphological appearances have been correlated with histories of alcohol consumption and with clinical and biochemical findings.There were 77 men and 23 women. Eight biopsies appeared normal, 62 showed fatty liver with or without fibrosis, 17 had alcoholic hepatitis with or without fibrosis and 13 had alcoholic hepatitis with established cirrhosis.Patients with fatty liver had drunk as long and as heavily as those with alcoholic hepatitis, suggesting that some other factor in addition to alcohol is of importance in the development of alcoholic hepatitis.Clinical and biochemical abnormalities showed no constant relationship to histological findings. Thus liver biopsy would seem to be an essential part of the full clinical assessment of the alcoholic patient.

摘要:

Summary:A case of constrictive pericarditis developed within twenty‐four days of mild, blunt thoracic trauma. Rapid progression from traumatic pericarditis to constriction is documented with clinical evidence, electrocardio‐graphic changes and cardiac catheterisation data. Other manifestations of pericardial reaction after blunt chest trauma are reviewed brie

摘要:

Summary:The occurrence of significant mitral regurgitation without the characteristic auscultatory signs, particularly the holosystolic murmur and the third heart sound, is unusual. It becomes of considerable importance when it occurs in combined lesions of the mitral valve, and more so in those areas where the treatment of mitral stenosis is by closed mitral valvotomy. Two cases of silent mitral incompetence are presented. The features that should have indicated the coexistence of regurgitation with mitral stenosis were cardiomegaly with considerable dilatation of the left atrium, and lesser degrees of right ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiography for the severity of mitral stenosis and evidence of biventricular hypertrophy.

摘要:

Summary:Two patients are reported in whom early and irreversible renal allo‐graft rejection was associated with passage of necrotic papillary material in the urine. Evidence is presented for a causal relationship between rejection and medullary necrosis. Passage of a papilla is regarded as a definite indication for graft exploratio
