摘要:

Two cases of Tikhor-Linberg resection for rhabdomyosarcoma and malignant chondromyxoid fibroma and two cases of scapulectomy for metastatic disease of the shoulder girdle are reviewed. After resection of the scapula, active motion of the shoulder will be severely restricted, but normal function of elbow, wrist, and hand permit use of the extremity in many activities of daily living. Surgical treatment for metastatic bone disease in the upper extremity and the role of radiation therapy for metastatic bone disease are discussed.

摘要:

The results of radiation therapy of 79 patients with early carcinoma of the vocal cord are reported. Nine (13%) of the 69 patients with stage I disease had local recurrence, and two (20%) of the ten patients with stage II disease had local recurrence without local node metastasis. Subsequent control of radiation failure by surgical salvage was 100%. Close follow-up of the patients after radiation therapy and biopsy of suggestive areas are emphasized for early detection of residual or recurrent tumor.

摘要:

We reviewed the total experience with renal cell carcinoma at West Virginia University Hospital since its opening 15 years ago. While the conclusions are not new, our series of 89 cases reemphasizes the capriciously ubiquitous nature of the disease. Varied presenting signs and symptoms are commented upon, and an attempt to relate stage, grade, and survival rates is made.

摘要:

Four cases of clear cell adenocarcinoma of the genital tract in young women are presented. All patients were treated with radiation therapy. Two of the patients subsequently developed chest metastases. Three patients have died of the disease, and the other is without evidence of disease. Two patients were treated with chemotherapy, and a positive response to the chemotherapy was observed. Because this is an aggressive disease, one should consider the use of chemotherapeutic agents as a part of the primary therapy.

摘要:

A review of 2,512 charts of cancer admissions in a small community hospital during a ten-year period revealed 19 married couples with cancer. Compared with other studies this number appears small. However, only 2% of our cases mentioned the spouse in the family histories, apparently because emphasis seems to be on genetics, not on environment. It was further noted that two out of 19 couples had the same type of cancer originating from the same organ, and ten pairs had tumors of the same histopathologic type. Cancer manifested itself in the wives a few years before the husbands, though the wives were younger.

摘要:

Pneumococci relatively insensitive to penicillin G were isolated from the sputum of two patients with pneumonia. One of the organisms was also relatively insensitive to ampicillin, cefamandole, and cephalothin and was resistant to tetracycline. Because penicillin-insensitive pneumococci are being reported with greater frequency, continued surveillance of pneumococcal sensitivity to penicillin is appropriate.

摘要:

We analyzed the renal radiographic changes in the sickle hemoglobinopathies in 92 patients, in 70 of whom the specific hemoglobin type was documented by electrophoresis. The following conclusions have been drawn: (1) Approximately 50% of patients with SS hemoglobin have renal enlargement (both on roentgenograms and at autopsy), while only a small proportion of patients with the other hemoglobinopathies show renal enlargement; (2) slightly more than one half of patients with each type of hemoglobinopathy have calyceal changes; and (3) these calyceal changes do not fall into a specific pattern with respect to hemoglobin type.

摘要:

In recent years, it has been recommended that “high-risk” patients receive influenza immunizations annually. During the 1976 National Influenza Immunization Program, a higher priority was given to these patients than to the general population. The present study was undertaken to compare the antibody response of high-risk patients with that of a group of individuals with no underlying disease after immunization with 0.5 ml of bivalent, split-virus vaccine containing 200 CCA units each of influenza A/New Jersey/76 and A/Victoria/75. Sera were obtained before and after immunization from 41 “healthy” volunteers and from 57 cardiology, 31 hematology, 13 hemodialysis, and 16 renal transplant patients. The control, cardiology, and hemodialysis groups responded equally well to A/Victoria/75 antigen, but the hematology and renal transplant groups did not respond as well (P< .05). Only the hematology patients responded at a significantly lower level (P< .05) than the control group to A/New Jersey/76. The control and renal transplant groups had a significantly greater response to A/New Jersey/76 antigen than to A/Victoria/75 antigen (P< .002). Although the same pattern was demonstrated by the other patient groups, the differences were not significant. Because hematology and renal transplant patients responded relatively poorly to influenza immunization, prophylactic administration of amantadine during influenza outbreaks should be considered in patients with renal function adequate to excrete this drug.
