Perforation of the gallbladder diagnosed preoperatively.

A 69-year-old white male was admitted to the hospital for right upper quadrant pain, fever, and vomiting. Acute cholecystitis was not thought to be present because of a negative ultrasonogram and oral cholecystogram. A 99mTc-PIPIDA hepatobiliary study showed definite evidence of gallbladder perforation, with pockets of radiolabeled bile in the abdomen. Immediate surgery confirmed the scan diagnosis. In patients who are at high risk for gallbladder perforation the technetium-99m-labeled iminodiacetic acid hepatobiliary scan should be considered as a first procedure to rule out acute cholecystitis and possible gallbladder perforation.

Detection of aortoarterial graft infections by leukocyte scintigraphy.

Infections of aortoarterial prostheses are serious, difficult to detect, and difficult to treat. Scintigraphy with indium-111 labeled autologous leukocytes is an accurate noninvasive method of assessing the presence and extent of such an infection. In three cases of aorto-arterial bypass graft infections, the leukocyte study was successful in establishing the diagnosis and in assessing the extent of infection. Other noninvasive diagnostic techniques are useful, but all have serious limitations. The leukocyte study alone appears to be free of likely sources of error.

Split-half and test-retest Hand Test reliabilities for pathological samples.

Computed split-half and test-retest reliabilities for some major Hand Test scoring categories for a group of 100 Ss of mixed psychopathology. All correlations were significant; the rs ranged from "modest" to "high.' Withdrawal, the most serious of all indices of psychopathology, showed the most consistency across both split-half and test-retest formats. Results were interpreted as lending credence to Hand Test rationale. Reliabilities appear high enough to justify the clinical use of the technique.

Dietary sugar and ischaemic heart disease.

Comparison of the sugar intake of 1,158 men believed to be free of ischaemic heart disease failed to establish any real difference in intake when compared with 170 men with confirmed or possible ischaemic heart disease. In neither group was mere any significant correlation between sugar intake and serum cholesterol, white blood cell count, haemoglobin, E.S.R., beta-lipoprotein, or uric add; nor was there any correlation between total sugar intake and weight gain after the age of 25 years.These results suggest that considerably more confirmation is required before acceptance of Yudkm's hypothesis that high sugar intake is the chief dietary factor causing ischaemic heart disease.
