Diaphragmatic hernia as a long-term complication of stab wounds of the chest.

The suggestion that early exploratory operation be performed in all patients with stab wounds of the left lower chest in whom the diaphragm is likely to be injured is examined in detail. The incidence of stabs in this situation is reported on an analysis of 1,000 consecutive cases of stab wounds of the chest. Thirteen cases of diaphragmatic hernia as a long-term complication of stab wounds of the chest are discussed.

Biliary pancreatitis.

Seventy-one patients with acute pancreatitis are reviewed. Biliary disease was incriminated as an aetiological factor in 17 of these patients. During the period under review, 141 patients with acute cholecystitis were treated. The age and sex incidence in these 3 groups are compared, and some diagnostic problems are discussed.

Physiological and biochemical contributions to the taxonomy of the genus Chlorella. X. Products of glucose fermentation.

The products of glucose fermentation were studied in 87 strains of the genus Chlorella. Lactic acid, acetic acid, formic acid, glycerol, ethanol, H2 and CO2 were identified. The lactic acid was shown to be D(minus)lactic acid. The pattern of fermentation produces is species-specific and can therefore be used as a taxonomic character. Lactic acid was found in C. fusca (varieties vacuolata, fusca, and rubescens), C. zofingiensis, C. vulgaris (var. vulgaris and f.tertia), and C. protothecoides. Formic acid and H2 appeared in those species which contain hydrogenase. Rather large amounts of glycerol were produced only by the most salt-tolerant species C. luteoviridis, C. saccharophila, and C. protothecoides.
