Phaeohyphomycosis of the paranasal sinuses masquerading as a neoplasm: a case report.

A case of fungal infection of the paranasal sinuses simulating a neoplasm is reported. Fonsecaea pedrosoi, a dematiacious fungus, which has not been previously reported, was responsible for this unusual infection. Fungal infection may mimic malignant lesions of the paranasal sinuses; however, coexisting malignancy must be ruled out.

Completion thyroidectomy for thyroid carcinoma.

We have reviewed the charts of 149 patients who underwent completion thyroidectomies for cancer of the thyroid. The purpose of the study was to evaluate extent of residual disease in the thyroid, and morbidity and mortality of the operation. Residual cancer was found in 58% of the cases, the morbidity was low, and there was no operative mortality.

Effect of testosterone on diethylstilbestrol toxicity and comparison to a recovery study in the rat epididymis and vas deferens.

Effects of diethylstilbestrol (DES) treatment (30 daily i.m. injections) in reproductive function in the male rat were investigated. These functions were evaluated with sperm counts, motility, fertility, morphology, serum testosterone, and a number of biochemical tests in rat epididymis and vasa deferentia. DES treatment resulted in a 15% loss of body weight and a 60 to 90% loss of weight of testes, epididymis, and vas deferens. Sperm parameters and fertility were reduced to nil by DES treatment. Likewise, the majority of the biochemical measures were severely depressed by the DES treatment. In general, the measured parameters were less affected or recovered with either testosterone cotreatment or 60 days of recovery, showing the role of androgen in maintaining functional integrity and metabolism. However, sperm parameters and fertility did not recover with testosterone cotreatment, which differs from withdrawal of treatment.
