Summary1. Twenty‐four cases of early post‐operative intestinal obstruction are discussed. Of these four were due to paralytic ileus, and twenty to mechanical obstruction.2. There was a fatal termination in six Gases, all of which were mechanically obstructed.3. Paralytic ileus caw‐d delay and confusion in diagnosis.4. The classical features of mechanical obstruction are often absent in the early postoperative period. In eleven cases, pain was either absent or insufficient to attract attention.5. Vomiting and distension which recurs after it has once subsided is usually due to a mechanical obstruction and not to a relapse of paralytic ileus.6. Good X‐rays are of great importance in the differential diagnosis between mechanical obstruction and paralytic ileus.7. Intestinal intubation using the GraftonSmith stylet is of value as an immediate preoperative ma

摘要:

SummaryForty‐eight per cent. of 185 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma seen over an eight‐year period exhibited evidence of cranial nerve damage. The abducens nerve and trigeminal nerve were the most frequently involved. The lesions fell into two main groups: (a) where one or more of the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth nerves were involved, and (b)where there was a lesion of one or more of the last four cranial nerves and of the cervical sympathetic chain.The early onset of cranial nerve lesions and the consequent need for speedy diagnosis is emphasi

摘要:

Summary1.The current knowledge of primary carcinoma of the liver is reviewed.2.Sixty autopsy cases from the State of Victoria are described, including 4.4. livercell carcinomata, 14 bile‐duct carcinomata and 2 anaplastic tumours and their behaviour is compared with series from other parts of the world.3.Attention is drawn to two distinct groups of liver‐cell carcinoma:(a) a group of nodular tumours in cirrhotic livers possessing a trabecular histological pattern, in which extrahepatic metastasis is rare despite the almost constant and heavy intrahepatic venous invasion;(b) a group of massive infiltrating tumours in non‐cirrhotic livers in which the metastatic behaviour is similar to that of other, more common, carcinomata.4.Cirrhosis of the liver as a causal factor is discussed; it is concluded that carcinoma is a sequel of long‐standing progressive cirrhosis rather than post‐necrotic hyperplasia.5.The remarkable frequency of liver‐cell carcinoma at an early age in young Africans is related to the early and frequent occurrence of cirrhosis among them.6. Eight cases of haemochromatosis complicated by carcinoma of the liver are discussed.7. It is concluded that primary carcinoma of the liver in Victoria conforms to the pattern which the disease has demonstrated in European
