[Obesity and the nociceptive reflex (author's transl)].

Using electrophysiological methods for studying pain in human, the authors have studied comparatively the sensation of pain and the threshold of a nociceptive flexion reflex of the lower limb, both elicited by electrical stimulation of sural nerve in 20 obese women (weight greater than or equal to 30 p. 100 of ideal weight) and 14 normal weighing women as controls. In obeses, the threshold of the nociceptive flexion reflex is very significantly lower (5,4 +/- 2 mA in obesity, 9,7 +/- 1,6 mA in controls p < 0,0001). The authors suggests an hypothesis of insufficiency of endogenous opiate releasing in human obesity.

[Histamine and serotonin levels in exercise induced bronchospasm in asthmatics (author's transl)].

The authors studied variations in histamine and serotonin levels in whole blood, in ten asthmatics with bronchospasm induced by running. A significant elevation of histamine following exercise was noted both in the asthmatics and in the control group and the difference in histamine levels in the two groups is then significant. However no correlation was found between the level of histamine before or after exercise and bronchospasm or the intensity of the drop in FEV1. This is also true of serotonine. The changes in level of these amines thus seem top play a minimal role in the initiation and intensity of exercise induced bronchospasm in asthmatics.

[Pseudo-anaphylactic reaction to procaine-penicillin G. 3 cases of Hoigne's syndrome].

On the basis of three cases, the authors review the clinical picture of Hoigne's syndrome, characterised by the development of acute manifestations, essentially psycho-sensorial, immediately following the injection of procaine penicillin G (PPG). The syndrome is due to the passage into the circulation of micro-aggregates of PPG and has no immuno-allergic basis. Subsequent treatment with penicillin is not contraindicated.
