The fibrinolytic enzyme system in hepatic cirrhosis and malignant metastases.

Components of the blood fibrinolytic system were measured in 18 patients with hepatic cirrhosis, in two patients with acute hepatic necrosis, and in 10 patients with hepatic metastases. The frequency of an elevation of plasminogen activator and a reduction in plasminogen in hepatic cirrhosis has been confirmed. Patients with compensated cirrhosis had low levels of the serum inhibitor of plasminogen activation while those with severe hepatic insufficiency or coma due to cirrhosis or hepatic necrosis had elevated levels. The presence of hepatic metastases was associated with reduced plasminogen activator levels and an increase in the fibrinogen concentration.

Origin and employment of the medical graduates of the University of Aberdeen 1931-69.

A survey was made of the medical graduates of the University of Aberdeen, 1931-69. The recent increase of graduates of non-British origin, the continuing high intake of women and their subsequent attrition, and the high rate of emigration, have combined to reduce substantially the number of these graduates working in Britain.

Evaluation of diagnostic significance of certain symptoms and physical signs in anaemic patients.

In a study of 133 anaemic and 111 non-anaemic hospital patients pallor of recent onset was the only symptom which was significantly associated with the severity of the anaemia. Dizziness in acute blood loss anaemia, and anorexia and painful tongue in vitamin-B(12) deficiency, were the only symptoms which might be helpful in diagnosing the type of anaemia. The frequency of glossitis in patients with megaloblastosis was confirmed, but neither glossitis nor nail changes were significantly more common in patients with iron-deficiency anaemia than in the control patients.
