Beta-human chorionic gonadotropin and alpha-fetoprotein in central and peripheral venous blood of patients with testicular tumors.

From January 1989 to June 1991, 18 patients ranging in age from 19 to 41 (mean 34) years with testicular tumor were examined. 14 patients had seminoma (11 typical and 3 spermatocytic) and 4 patients had a mixed form (2 seminoma + embryonal tumor and 2 seminoma + teratocarcinoma). Serum levels of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin and alpha-fetoprotein from peripheral venous blood and from spermatic venous vessel were evaluated in every patient. All patients with seminoma and in a patient with mixed tumor (seminoma + embryonal tumor) the markers were regular. The increase of the markers was found in the peripheral and in spermatic blood of 3 patients (2 seminoma + embryonal carcinoma and 1 seminoma + teratocarcinoma). For these reasons the values of spermatic vessels are an important confirmation of the level of peripheral markers.

[The echographic characterization of pancreatic pseudocysts].

The diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocyst is still troublesome. In 95% of cases a correct diagnostic evaluation can be achieved by means of ECT or CT scan, ERCP, NMR, EE etc.. ECT and CT scan in particular are the most specific and accurate techniques. ECT scan is currently the up-to-date method for initial diagnosis and continuous monitoring of the lesion. In fact, very interesting real-time data and exact features of the wall of the cysts may be obtained by ECT scanning also suggesting the best therapeutic choice.

[Algoneurodystrophy].

The authors consider the extensive literature concerning a quite frequently observed clinical picture, that has been named in different way by each researcher. Algoneurodystrophy is the name used in this analysis. They make a review of the most important works appeared in literature. It points the contrasting aspects of the research made till now. Therefore, in authors' opinion, it's necessary for them to investigate with further studies various aspects of the disease (etiological, pathogenetic, clinical, therapeutic ones, etc.) associated with a prevention of the secondary and tertiary damage the earliest as possible.

[Treatment of obesity with chorionic gonadotropins. Relations between obesity, dyslipidemia and arthero-arteriosclerosis].

A long account of the many factors responsible form atherosclerosis (dysmetabolism, physical, genetic and familial factors, immunobiological features, diet) is followed by an assessment of obesity as a main risk factor in the local pathology of atherosclerosis. Results obtained in the treatment of obesity with chorionic gonadotropin and a 500 calorie standard diet are presented. These were highly satisfactory with respect to weight loss, tolerance, and marked improvement (or even normalisation) of blood lipid values, which were initially pathological in many cases.

[Acute enterorrhagia in a young adult: emergency treatment].

A case of enterorrhagia sustained by arteriovenous malformation of the caecum in a young patient is reported. The importance of an early diagnosis to avert a serious anemia is underlined. Preminent role of colonscopy and selective visceral angiography in the diagnosis of such disease is discussed. At first a conservative urgently treatment of caecum bleeding is advised. Subsequently, when the patients is in more favourable conditions, an elective surgical operation is considered as essential.
