摘要:

A series of 56 cases of carcinoma of the anterior two‐thirds of the tongue treated surgically was reviewed. Lymph node metastasis occurred in 50% of cases. There was 22% false‐negative clinical assessments of lymph node status for the ipsilateral side of the neck. Because of these and the difficulty in ensuring early treatment of subsequent node metastasis, concurrent ipsilateral radical neck dissection is recommended. When the ipsilateral side of the neck was involved the contralateral side had 22% false‐negative assessments. Elective radical neck dissection for the contralateral side is recommended in this situation. The overall five‐year survival was 50·6%, and was greatly affected by the status of the neck lym

摘要:

In a prospective study of six years' experience with a haematemesis and melaena unit from 1972 to 1978, there were 98 admissions of patients with bleeding gastric ulcer. There were ten deaths, giving a mortality of 11%. Forty‐one patients were treated by emergency surgery with seven deaths, an operative mortality of 17%. All ten deaths occurred in the first four years; there were no deaths during the final two‐year period (38 admissions), In retrospective studies at Prince Henry's Hospital, Melbourne, it was found that the mortality for bleeding gastric ulcer was 17% to 18% for the period 1951 to 1970. It is concluded that a prospective system of management with an active policy of early endoscopy and surgery and regular audit of results reduces the mortality from bleeding gastric ul

摘要:

In this paper, two cases of chronic ulcerative colitis displaying systemic manifestations are discussed. Each case illustrates the refractoriness of the systemic manifestations to colec‐tomy and the total resolution of the manifestations by additional proctectomy. The impllcations of these clinical observations in relationship to the aetiology and therapy of ulcerative colitis are discusse

摘要:

In a ten‐year period 53 patients presented with perforated colonic diverticular disease with diffuse peritonitis. Eight patients died ‐ all with uncontrolled intraabdominal sepsis. Various surgical techniques were employed. None of the 12 patients having immediate resection of the affected bowel segment died. There was no mortality from subsequent operations in any form of staged treatment. Primary resection without anastomosis is supported as the treatment of choice for this condit

摘要:

Resection for chronic ileocaecal Crohn's disease may be conservative with ileo‐ascending‐colon anastomosis, or be extended to standard right hemicolectomy. The two operations have been compared to determine whether preservation of the ascending colon is advantageous. Stool frequency, consistency and weight were similar after the two operations. A slower stool transit time was the only clinical difference associated with preservation of the ascending colon. An adaptable and patient‐acceptable technique for domiciliary collection of stools is desc

摘要:

Cysticercus cellulosae, the larva of the pork tapeworm, has a predilection to encyst within the central nervous system. It is common in endemic areas, such as Central and South America, but rare in Australia. The clinical and radiological findings in two patients with fourth ventricular cysts are described.

摘要:

The problem of how many subjects are required for a particular investigation can be solved. Techniques developed to allow experimenters to determine the statistical power of their experiments can be adapted to this end provided that the investigator is prepared to define the significance level and, more importantly, the minimum strength of experimental effect that is of interest. The experience described in this article demonstrates that the process demands consideration of a number of factors like the nature of the dependent variable, the form of the decision being made, and the minimum difference between conditions which has practical consequence.
