摘要:

Four cases of recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix were treated with a combination of bleomycin and mitomycin C. There was a complete tumor response in at least 2 of the patients treated. Response is well documented with an external tumor marker visible on 1 patient.

摘要:

Rare benign angiomyxomatous tumors of the umbilical cord, associated with a macerated stillbirth, are described. Only 12 cases of vascular tumor of the cord have been reported and only 2 of these were associated with fetal death. The histopathology of this unusual tumor is presented together with a review of the literature.

摘要:

Two cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) with superficial extension to the endometrium are presented, and the English literature is reviewed. The concept of the radial growth phase of CIN is presented and discussed. The radial growth phase may precede the vertical or invasive phase of neoplastic growth. The possibility of endometrial involvement in CIN points to the potential hazard of not evaluating the endocervix and endometrium before treatment of cervical CIN.

摘要:

The use of dermal graft in the surgical repair of vaginal vault prolapse following hysterectomy is described. This tissue offers several advantages when compared with other materials frequently used. It is homologous, readily available, and easy to obtain; it has good strength and does not provoke foreign-body reactions or infections.

摘要:

An on-line, automated system, voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), with digital print-out of uterine activity units (UAU) at designated intervals, has been used in clinical studies and appears reliable. A comparison was made between the VCO system and a microprocessor-controlled digital integrator system (MCDI), which displays UAUs as a bar graph every 10 minutes on the uterine activity channel of the clinical fetal monitor.

摘要:

A submucosal, easily removable cervical cerclage was placed in 37 patients with cervical incompetence. The perinatal mortality rate compared favorably with reports using other techniques, and the cesarean section rate was not different from that in the overall obstetric population. In view of the absence of any complications, this technique would seem to be the cerclage of choice.

摘要:

Danazol is a synthetic steroid with antigonadotropic properties useful in treating endometriosis, especially in young infertile women. Prior to its availability for clinical use in September 1976, thyroid function studies other than thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which was normal, had not been reported. Soon after danazol began to be used in the infertility clinic to treat documented endometriosis, it was observed that changes occurred in thyroid function studies. While no patients manifested clinical evidence of hypothyroidism, all 8 patients receiving 800 mg of danazol daily for 1 to 5 months had laboratory evidence of decreased thyroid function. The triiodothyronine (T3) uptake was elevated and the total serum thyroxine (T4) was decreased. The finding that TSH and the free thyroid index (FTI) were normal confirmed that these patients were euthyroid during danazol therapy. The abnormality of thyroid function tests is believed to reflect an androgen-like reduction in thyroxine-binding protein rather than a true decrease in thyroid function or interference with the pituitary-thyroid axis.

摘要:

The relationship between vaginal microflora Candidaalbicansvulvovaginitis is studied. Results obtained from 340 vaginal specimens showed an increase of isolates in the absence ofC albicansfor all groups of microorganisms (168%), particularly for the gram-negative bacteria (226%). A high frequency of polymicrobial vaginitis is noted, as is the probable importance of anaerobic microorganisms. Finally, some special aspects of the pathogenesis ofC albicansinfection are discussed.
