Diffuse biphasic cutaneous amyloidosis.

2 patients with primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis were seen to have widespread macular and lichenoid types of lesions. Diffuse areas of pigmentation appeared to transform gradually over years into lichen amyloidosus as a result of chronic irritation of the skin from scratching. There was no evidence of systemic amyloidosis.

Observations on the value and limitations of infusion pyelography in anuric patients.

Infusion pyelography was performed in 103 anuric patients with no attendant mortality. It was useful in 83 cases in distinguishing obstructive uropathy from renal parenchymal disease. However, in the remaining 20 cases when either renal parenchymal disease co-existed with obstructive uropathy or obstructive uropathy existed alone under certain circumstances, opacification of the collecting system did not occur. The clinicopathological setting of some of the latter group of cases is illustrated by examples.

Acute renal failure following copper sulphate intoxication.

Eleven out of a series of twenty-nine patients (37-9%) with acute copper sulphate poisoning developed acute renal failure. Intravascular haemolysis appeared to be the chief factor responsible for renal lesions in these patients. Histological lesions observed in the kidney varied from those of mild shock to well established acute tubular necrosis. In one case, granulomatous lesions were seen in response to tubulorrhexis. Renal failure was the chief indication for dialysis in ten patients, whereas one patient was dialysed primarily for removal of copper. Notwithstanding the adequate control of uraemia by dialysis, only six of the eleven patients recovered. Septicaemia was responsible for death in three, hepatic failure in one and methaemoglobinaemia in another. It is postulated that release of copper from haemolysed red cells during acute haemolytic episodes may initiate, or contribute to, the development of renal damage.

Endomyocardial fibrosis in Chandigarh area, India. A study of nine autopsies.

The clinical and autopsy data of nine cases of endomyocardial fibrosis encountered over a period of 11 years are presented. These account for nearly 24% of primary cardiomyopathies and 0.8% of cardiac diseases seen at autopsy. There were four cases with biventricular endomyocardial fibrosis, three with a predominantly left and two with a predominantly right ventricular affection. There was no correlation between the clinical data and the autopsy pattern of endomyocardial fibrosis; all of them presented as congestive cardiac failure.
