The authors have used a fluorescent supravital staining technique that allow the simultaneous study of platelets, the fibrin meshwork, the morphology of white blood cells and its phagocytic activity, the presence of immature cells. The technique is simple and fast and owing to all the information that it furnish, the authors designated it with the initials FED.
The AA. have spent several years working on the correlation between EPG patterns and diagnosis upon discharge. They then attempted to codify those abnormalities which were statistically related to different illnesses. This codification should not be considered definitive; however, it can be suggestive of further studies especially for those hospitals equipped with a computer which can correlate EPG patterns with the initial diagnosis or the diagnosis on discharge.
The AA. have chosen 12 tests to organize an "hepatic flash" after a selection out of 180 cases scheduled as the table no. I through a set of tests showing step by step any modifications in compliance with the sensibility, reliability, statistical clinical and physio-pathological meaning of each test. The 12 tests are set out by circular abscissae of a circus according to the pathogenetic mechanisms leading to their modifications. By the radial ordinates, instead, it is shown the decreasing and increasing values which every test may assume. An hypothetic line (hepatogram) links then the values set out during the process of the disease in such a manner that the particular shapes assumed by the line itself show quickly and visually the spreading rate of the disease process.

The Authors related the physiopathologic remarks executed on subjects that are suffering from Lambia intestinalis. They have been chisen in a group of 226 individuals who had executed the coprologic test because of symptoms of gastroenteric apparatus. With the escort of this observation, the Authors have findings, as constant report, a typical enteritis, that reveals itself in periodical diarrhoea, alternated with constipation and often accompanied, in the children, with gastralgia, in the grown ups with duodenitis. The constancy of these reports and the therapeutical succes, whic the have been achieved in the most of the cases with antilambliasi, induce them to have reasonable motives to attribute to the Lamblia a definite pathogenus entity and to regard it an etiologic element of the above-mentioned unhelty courses.
The Authors after a theoric introduction in regard to the taxonomic position, the history and the epidemiology of the Salmonella wien, explain the biologic characteristic of the bacterium according to results of their experiments.
The relationship between alcohol and work was studied in a group of 260 voluntary patients (186 male and 74 female) admitted to the unit of Medicina del Lavoro, Pavia University for alcohol rehabilitation. The highest incidence of alcohol abuse was found in non-working subjects (pensioners, unemployed, housewives) although the start of excessive drinking takes place after beginning a working activity; a cause-effect relationship between these two factors can not be clearly determined, however. It is true that the stress provoked by this new condition (introduction to the work experience) can, in certain subjects, be a contributing factor in alcohol abuse. The increasingly lower age of initiation to alcohol reconfirms the need for prevention and instruction even at scholastic level.
