Binuclear ion containing nitrogen as a bridging group.

A binuclear ion ([NH(3))5RuN(2)Ru(NH(3))(5)](5)+ is formed by the direct reaction of N(2) with an aqueous solution of (NH(3))(5)RuOH(2)(2+) at room temperature. The binuclear ion is also formed by the reversible reaction of (NH(3))5RuOH(2)(2+) with (NH(3))(5)RuN(2)(2+). Solid [(NH(3))(5)RuN(2)Ru(NH(3))(5)] (BF(4))(4) has been prepared, and its ultraviolet and infrared spectra are reported.

Pharyngolaryngoesophagectomy with pharyngogastric anastomosis for cancer of the hypopharynx: review of 101 operations.

During the period between 1965 and 1983, 101 pharyngolaryngoesophagectomies with primary pharyngogastric anastomosis were carried out for primary hypopharyngeal cancer at The Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital, London, England. The Hospital mortality rate was 11%; postoperative complications such as pleural effusion and regurgitation of bile occurred in all patients. Successful swallowing occurred in all patients before they left the hospital--usually within 2 wk of surgery. An actuarial survival rate of 58% was obtained for the entire group.

Critical look at the classification of maxillary sinus carcinomata.

All the classification systems at present adopted for use in carcinoma of the maxillary sinus suffer from both intrinsic inaccuracies and an apparent failure to relate T (extent of primary tumor) categories to clinical experience of the spread of these tumors. Three systems are critically analyzed in relation to personal experience of 86 patients with sinus carcinoma and a fourth system proposed as a compromise solution to this problem.

Surgical repair in hypopharyngeal and cervical esophageal cancer. Analysis of 162 patients.

Most recent publications dealing with surgical repair following pharyngolaryngectomy or pharyngolaryngoesophagectomy appear to be based upon limited surgical experience of the most differing operations now available. An up to date review of 162 patients, including 68 gastric "pull up" procedures, has the advantage of being a personal series as well as a critical evaluation of each technique based upon personal evaluation.
