[Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis and Graves' disease. Description of an HLA-CW7-positive case].

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis is an uncommon complication of hyperthyroidism, more frequent in Oriental populations and in male than in female subjects. Electron microscopic investigations have shown characteristic degenerative changes of muscle fiber. In this study the sequence of pathophysiologic events proposed by the literature is illustrated and a case of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis in a HLA-CW7 positive patient affected by Graves' disease is reported.

[Systemic adjuvant chemotherapy of bladder carcinoma with 5 fluorouracil and cyclophosphamide].

Patients with bladder cancer in pT2 and pT3 infiltrating stages have a 5 year survival rate less than 50% after primary surgical and/or radiant therapy. Aim of the present study was to evaluate if adjuvant chemotherapy could improve survival in these subjects. For this purpose, 16 patients underwent treatment with 5-Fluorouracil and cyclophosphamide (min. three, max six courses). The obtained results have shown a 5 year actuarial survival rate of about 48%. Our experience has not shown therefore any improvement compared with primary treatment alone.

[Adrenal incidentaloma in a patient operated upon for colon carcinoma].

The extensive use of visualization techniques has allowed the finding of adrenal masses without clinical symptoms in a growing number of patients affected by diseases of different nature. The challenge of these masses, so called incidentalomas, is particularly diagnostic but also prognostic and therapeutic. A flow-chart of proper investigations utilized in a tumoral patient harbouring a left adrenal mass, permitted the correct diagnosis and prognosis.
