摘要:

AbstractUreterocele occurs more frequently in the female than in the male and may present at any age. The ectopic ureterocele must be distinguished from the orthotopic variety. Small ureteroceles are often symptomless, but larger ones may cause loin pain, retention of urine, and external prolapse. There is an increased incidence of duplication in cases of ureterocele. Attention is drawn to the significance of dilatation of the intramural ureter which leads to reflux after incision of a ureterocele.Small symptomless ureteroceles need no treatment. Although perurethral diathermy incision may be followed by reflux there is a place for this treatment in adults. Large ureteroceles and those presenting in childhood should be treated by open excision employing a reflux‐preventing techniqu

摘要:

AbstractIn the period 1945–71, 124 women with primary direct inguinal hernia were operated upon. During the same period indirect inguinal hernias in women were noted to be thirteen times more common than the direct type. The commonest site of protrusion of the direct hernia was immediately medial to the inferior epigastric artery. In contrast, in a series of 110 women with recurrent inguinal hernia the majority of the hernias were direct and, of these, most were either situated medially in the posterior wall of the inguinal canal or involved the whole posterior wal

摘要:

AbstractA clinical trial was carried out to compare the effectiveness of compressive sclerotherapy with that of the traditional operative procedures in the treatment of varicose veins. One hundred and ten patients were treated by compression sclerotherapy and 91 patients by operation.The results showed that there was no significant difference in the therapeutic value of the two procedures.

摘要:

AbstractIt has been suggested that measurement of the plasma enzyme gamma‐glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTP) may be useful in the detection of hepatic metastases.To assess the value of GGTP as a screening test for hepatic metastases, 40 cases of gastro‐intestinal carcinoma were studied prior to surgery.Ten patients had hepatic metastases, and in 5 of these the plasma GGTP was within normal limits. Abnormal GGTP results were always associated with elevation of the plasma alkaline phosphatase, and preoperative clinical examination of the liver proved to be the most accurate method for the detection of hepatic metasta

摘要:

AbstractThe effect of intraperitoneal noxytiolin on the growth of Ehrlich's ascites tumour in mice has been studied. A dose of 1 g. per kg. body‐weight produced a significant slowing of the growth of ascites tumours. However, systemic administration (subcutaneous) had no significant chemotherapeutic effect in this tumour mode

摘要:

AbstractDecrease in heterophile antibody activity to cow, pig, and sheep red blood‐cells was found in groups of patients with large‐bowel and breast tumours irrespective of the extent and spread of the tumour or the length of known history. The significance of these observations is discussed in the light of known cancer‐surveillance mechanisms. The findings may reflect decreased host immunological resistance to these tumours even in the early stage of their development, and the measurement of heterophile antibody activity may provide a useful and uncomplicated screening

摘要:

AbstractNo carefully controlled trial of the use of topical ampicillin in cholecystectomy wounds has been described. A series of 100 consecutive cholecystecomies performed by one surgeon using this drug in a double‐blind manner is reported. The efficacy of topical ampicillin in lowering the wound‐infection rate as shown by other authors is not confir

摘要:

AbstractA controlled clinical trial has been performed to compare the effectiveness of suction drainage with that of static drainage. The trial has shown that in 53 radical mastectomy wounds the rate of wound healing was faster in those cases in which suction drainage was used, with a reduction in incidence of wound infection, breakdown, and necrosis.

摘要:

AbstractThe diagnostic and therapeutic problems of acute hyperparathyroidism are discussed on the basis of 4 selected cases. A highly raised serum‐calcium level was demonstrated in all 4 cases. Serum‐calcium determinations should be undertaken in every case which presents a vague clinical picture. Primary hyperparathyroidism should be treated by operation as soon as the diagnosis has been made, before any other surgical therapy of accompanying disorders is carried out, such therapy being liable to provoke a crisis requiring immediate operat
