[Acute carbon monoxide poisoning].

Carbon monoxide is one of the most common cause of poisoning both in industry and in homes. About 75-80% of cases of acute oxicarbonism occur in homes. The chief domestic source of poisoning was in the past the escape of illuminating gas, today the incomplete combustion of methane or GPL. On the basis of personal experience the authors illustrate the kinetics of absorption and the mechanism of action of CO, the clinical pattern of acute poisoning and the elements of prognostic value. A careful distinction must be done between acute oxicarbonism and acute intoxication from fire-smoke at the physiopathological, clinical and therapeutic level.

[Possible consequences of urban pollution caused by radio frequency].

The AA. report the results of an inquest on the health effects of radio wave pollution in an area of Trieste, where television transmitters and broadcasting are installed. The following results were obtained: the measure of electromagnetic fields showed in the mentioned area a power density 10-100 times higher than that + in other zones of Trieste. According to present knowledge, the observed values of EM fields may have some psychological, behavioural and neurovegetative effects on exposed subjects. Clinical examination, integrated by the analysis of some seventy biochemical and functional parameters, showed nothing but minor changes of hypophyseal-suprarenal hormones and a relevant incidence of neurovegetative troubles. Some difficulties were found in the interpretation of psychological troubles, which may be reactive to broadcasting installation or secondary to radio wave exposure.

[Zieve's syndrome. Case report].

The Zieve's syndrome consists of the transient association of cholestatic jaundice, hemolytic anemia, hyperlipemia, in a chronic alcoholic. The Authors, after a short introduction regarding physiopathological problems, describe and subsequently examine on the clinical ground a recent personal observation, which had been mentioned for the rarene-s of this disease.

[A case of primary hyperparathyroidism. Clinical contribution].

The authors discusses some clinical, laboratory and instrumental problems of a reported case of primary hyperparathyroidism caused by adenoma from the point of view of medical literature. Nethertheless the lack of the specificity of the clinical manifestations and the slowly progressive evolution of this disease, primary hyperparatiroidism must be suspected in the presence of his most common multifarious complications. The finding of hypercalcemia in these conditions and from screening procedures requests parathyroid functional tests and exclusion of other causes of which chiefly pseudohyperparathyroidism may be difficult to be differentiated. The early diagnosis and correction of the parathyroid lesion avoid further damage and regression of many preoperatory complications.

[A case of primary hyperaldosteronism. Case report].

The authors discuss a reported case of primary aldosteronism, which is relatively uncommon within hypertensive population. The diagnosis of primary aldosteronism must be suggested by the presence of the association of arterial hypertension and hypokaliemia, which nevertheless is not pathognomonic. It is emphasized the significance of the detection of this syndrome on account of the correction following surgical removal of the adenoma of the adrenal cortex. Two attacks of paroxismal hypertension, which are atypical in primary aldosteronism, had been observed in the reported case; however, apart from these exceptions, arterial hypertension has resulted generally constant and of moderate degree, as well as the majority of the others descriptions. The personal experience confirms the need to determine plasma levels of renin and aldosterone before the therapeutic or diagnostic use of spironolactone.
