Obstructive uropathy due to primary retroperitoneal tumour (leiomyosarcoma): report of 2 cases and review of the literature.

Two cases of primary retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma presenting with obstructive uropathy which were successfully treated by surgical excision are reported. The classification of primary retroperitoneal tumours and their symptomatology, treatment and prognosis are discussed in detail based on a review of the literature and the current experience of treating these tumours by combination therapy. It is felt that with advances in the diagnosis and therapy the prognosis is likely to improve.

Primary pneumococcal peritonitis.

A case of primary pneumococcal peritonitis in a girl of 9 is presented. The diagnosis was made at laparotomy and confirmed by immediate bacteriological examination. The condition is extremely rare and accounts for 1 in 5 of all cases of primary peritonitis in children.

Gastric leiomyoblastoma.

This paper describes two cases of gastric leiomyoblastoma (bizarre smooth muscle tumour), one of them having evidence of metastases. Both patients remain well after seven years and three and a half years respectively. The literature is reviewed, and the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment are discussed. The histological appearances are described in detail and an attempt is made to assess the criteria for the diagnosis of malignancy.

Outcomes after posterolateral lumbar fusion with instrumentation in patients treated with adjunctive pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation.

Fusion success and clinical outcome were determined in 48 high-risk patients who underwent posterolateral lumbar fusions with internal fixation and were treated with adjunctive pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) stimulation postoperatively. An independent radiographic assessment demonstrated a success rate of 97.9%. Following treatment, 59% of the working patients returned to their employment. Overall clinical assessment was excellent in 4.2% of patients, good in 79.2%, and fair in 16.7%; no patient had a poor clinical assessment.

Small intestinal permeability in pediatric clinical practice.

Passive permeability of small intestine to lactulose and mannitol was studied in children suspected of having intestinal disease, using a hypertonic differential sugar absorption test. Children with coeliac disease and cows' milk intolerance were shown to have an elevated urinary lactulose/mannitol recovery ratio when compared with controls, children with normal jejunal biopsy, or children in whom alternative explanations for failure to thrive had been demonstrated. The abnormality in permeability ratio principally reflects a reduced urinary recovery of mannitol following oral administration. This study demonstrates that a hypertonic sugar absorption test is well tolerated even by young children, is practicable in routine clinical pediatric practice, and is capable of demonstrating abnormal intestinal function in children with small intestinal disease.
