Congenital abnormalities and Perthes' disease. Clinical evidence that children with Perthes' disease may have a major congenital defect.

This paper reports a high incidence of minor congenital anomalies in boys and girls with Perthes' disease compared with that in a control population. There is a similarity of the incidence of minor anomalies in the children with Perthes' disease to that in babies with a single major congenital defect. Multiple major defects were more numerous and more severe than in the control children. It is speculated that there may be a congenital abnormality affecting skeletal development which in some way makes the hip susceptible to Perthes' disease at a later date.

Multidisciplinary management of Crouzon syndrome.

The comprehensive management of Crouzon syndrome in a 14-year-old girl has been presented. Because of the complexity of the facial and associated problems, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to provide maximum functional and esthetic results; however, with such a cooperative interdisciplinary effort, the improvement and benefits derived for these patients are rewarding to all concerned.

Kaposi's sarcoma of the vulva: a case report and brief review.

A report of a case of Kaposi's sarcoma of the vulva is presented. A complete response of the tumor was obtained after 1 treatment cycle using a triple-drug chemotherapy regimen of actinomycin D, vincristine, and 5-(3,3-dimethyl-1-trazeno)imidazole-4-carboxamide (DTIC). Death occurred due to severe erythema multiforme, which was indirectly related to a complication of the chemotherapy.

Critical point drying for scanning electron microscopy: a semi-automatic method of preparing biological specimens.

Slow, controlled, rates of critical point bomb heating and of gas venting have been shown to improve the preservation of biological specimens in critical point drying. A procedure that represents a balance between avoidance of specimen damage and speed of operation has been developed for use with CO2 as the transitional fluid. Bomb heating is automated and controlled electronically, and manual venting of the gaseous CO2 is monitored using a gas flow meter.
