Abstract1. A group of 12 women with traumatic fat swellings around the buttock region is presented.2. The structure of the subcutaneous tissue and the mechanism in formation of the lipomata are described.3. Treatment of the essentially cosmetic deformity is discussed and excision of the lipomatous mass is advised when symptoms indicate this.

摘要:

AbstractThis paper draws attention to the fact that the left renal vein or one of its major tributaries may be ligated without apparent impairment of function of the left kidney. This information has been of great value in constructing splenorenal shunts in operations for portal decompression. Other situations in which this information might be of value are suggested.

摘要:

AbstractTwo patients with Behçet's disease and involvement of the gastro‐intestinal tract are described. One patient presented with rectal bleeding and perianal pain, and later developed peritonitis due to perforation of the sigmoid colon. The second patient developed rectal bleeding 4 years after the diagnosis of Behçt's disease, and examination showed this to be due to an ulcer in the anal canal. Behçet's disease should be considered as a possibility, albeit rare, in the differential diagnosis of rectal and colonic ulcera

摘要:

AbstractFour consecutive cases of peritonitis from rupture of amoebic liver abscess presenting late with the condition have been described. After treatment involving intensive resuscitation with adequate fluid therapy, ampicillin and hydrocortisone, and early laparotomy all 4 cases survived. The likelihood of this result recurring by chance is calculated at 0·3 per cent (P≤0·05).The conclusion is drawn that now that surgery is safer and metronidazole is available as a rapidly acting non‐toxic amoebicide, perhaps amoebic abscesses should no longer be regarded differently from other hepatic abscesses, at least when they rupture into the peritoneal c

摘要:

AbstractAmpicillin was compared with a penicillin and sulphadiazine combination as a topical wound application in patients undergoing biliary or gastrointestinal surgery in a controlled study. Eleven of the 53 patients having a topical application of penicillin and sulphadiazine developed wound sepsis (20·8 per cent) compared with 4 of the 59 patients receiving ampicillin (6·8 per cent). This difference is significant (P≤0

摘要:

AbstractPrevious experiments have demonstrated that canine kidneys can be preserved for 24 hours or more following initial perfusion with a solution of intracellular composition (C3) and subsequent ice storage. In the present study the composition of C3 was varied to determine the role of each of the major constituents. The efficacy of the solution was found to depend more on magnesium sulphate than on the potassium content, although potassium assumed a greater importance in perfusates free of magnesium. No variation in composition produced a significant improvement in the results obtained with solution C3 itself.

摘要:

AbstractOne hundred and ten patients undergoing open prostatectomy had an induced diuresis using frusemide. The results of this treatment are reviewed. Seventy‐one patients (65 per cent) presented as emergencies with acute retention, while the remainder presented with chronic retention or prostatism. The average age was 69 years, and 25 patients (23 per cent) were aged 75 years or more. Only rarely was a patient refused operation because of confinement to bed or failing mental faculties. Blood‐loss, fluid and elctrolyte balance, and postoperative urinary infection were studied in detail, and the following points are emphasized:—1The average postoperative 24‐hour urinary out‐put was 4·5 litres, 40 per cent of which was passed in the first 3 hours when the danger of clot retention is greatest.2Clot retention was eliminated as a problem, and bladder wash‐outs were not necessary.3The average blood replacement was 1·05 U., and the average fall in postoperative haemoglobin level was 1·1 g.4The postoperative urinary infection rate was low, being 8 per cent at 1 week after operation.5A low morbidity was recorded and the mortality was 0·9 per cent.A vigorous diuresis induced by frusemide after suitable fluid loading is both effective and safe. It is a distinct advance over previo

摘要:

AbstractThe effect of oral supplementation of zinc sulphate on primary wound healing of abdominal wounds was studied in normal rats receiving a standard diet. Daily oral administration of 40 mg. of zinc sulphate (ZnSO4·7H2O) per rat for 13 days postoperatively resulted in a 35–36 per cent increase in the bursting strength of sutured incision wounds. This increase was statistically significant and corresponded to a gain of about 13 days in healing time. The same daily dose of zinc did not result in a significant increase of wound‐bursting strength measured on the sixth day after opera
