[Hyperthyroidism caused by amiodarone. Apropos of 4 clinical cases].

The authors report four new cases of hyperthyroidism associated with prolonged treatment with amiodarone. Massive doses of beta-blockers were required to deal with the severely disordered rhythm in one of the patients. Amiodarone, which is an effective treatment for angina, is not free from risk, even at the doses which are currently accepted. Hyperthyroidism, which may occur even in patients who have had no past history of any thyroid troupble at all, remains a most unusual complication.

[Respiratory diseases due to noxious agents in agriculture workers].

Better working and living conditions resulted by scientific technical revolution in agriculture. Nevertheless specialization of agricultural labor created a higher risk against inhalative hazards among few professions. Among biological hazards that are for instant zoonoses and ornithosis, Q-fever, tularemia and tuberculosis. A series of allergenic dusts is of vegetable origin. Among chemical hazards pesticides, fertilizers and disinfectants and other hazards are discussed. Among physical hazards in building and in repair shops for agricultural machines single risk is possible by silicosis and asbestosis but dominating are unspecific dusts.

[Post-traumatic interventricular communication. Closure under extracorporeal circulation].

Report of one case of acquired traumatic interventricular septal defect due to a stab injury of the right ventricle by a knife. The highly-placed penetrating injury involved the muscular septum and very probably resulted in a right bundle-branch block of the His system. Surgical operation performed in view of a starting clinical intolerance with moderately increased right cardiac pressures, was done under ECC with easy suture of the septal wound. The post-operative course was normal and a quick clinical cure was noted, which persisted for 8 months after surgery. The interest of this case, in addition to the very severe condition of the patient who had sustained 11 stab-knife wounds, lies in the high localization of the septal wound, which explains the involvement of the intracardiac conduction pathways.
