The value of thyroglobulin (TGL) assay in following the post-therapeutic course of differentiated thyroid cancer.

Serum TGL was assayed in 32 patients with total thyroidectomy performed on account of differentiated thyroid cancer, and in whom postoperative serum TGL values were above 60 ng/ml. The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the specific TGL response in differentiated thyroid cancer relapse and metastases, and the value of serum TGL assay as a test for early diagnosis of relapse and metastasis in this form of cancer. The results were compared to those from the following lots: 15 euthyroid volunteers, 15 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer diagnosed postoperatively whose serum TGL values were under 60 ng/ml and, 14 patients with non-thyroid cancer metastases.

[Venous vascular changes in prostatic adenomyomatosis].

An important role should be attributed to the prostatic venous complex and to its pathology in the clinical aspects of prostate adenoma. This appears to be responsible for the acute retention of urine as well as for the hemorrhages that accompany the disease. The authors, on the occasion of 50 adenomectomies by the trans-vesical method, have carried out histological investigations on the excised tissues and made a correlation with the microscopic aspects of the peri-orificial urethra and of the prosthatic urethra, in connection with the changes noted in the venous system. The veins have displayed more or less important changes in all the cases. These consisted in stasis, lacunar dilatations or of the varicose type, inflammations or parietal modifications of a different origin. At the same time were noted signs of inflammation in the submucosa as well as in the muscular layer of the bladder wall, which appeared to be distrophic. The pathogenic role is stressed of the venous system in the developement of the clinical aspects especially in type II and III of a personal classification.
