Ebstein's anomaly: a report of 3 cases in the dog.

Three young unrelated dogs were diagnosed as having the canine counterpart of Ebstein's anomaly, an eponymic term for a cardiac malformation in man. All of the dogs had systolic murmurs in the tricuspid area, and all had radiographic evidence of cardiac enlargement, particularly of the right atrium. Electrocardiography indicated atrial disease or right atrial enlargement and right ventricular conduction defects. The defect was confirmed by means of cardiac catheterization in all 3 dogs. Open heart surgery was performed on 2 of the dogs--plastic reconstruction of the tricuspid annulus and placement of a prosthetic valve in 1 and closure of an atrial septal defect in the other; both of these dogs died (1 day and 1 month after surgery).

Obliteration of alopecia by hair-lifting: a new concept and technique.

A new concept and technique of treatment of male-pattern alopecia are described. The concept is to remove, in serial stages, segments of skin that measure about 3 cm by 7 to 10 cm from the bald area of an alopecic scalp, and to raise the remaining hairy portion into the previously bald area.The technique consists of undermining the skin in the normal plane of cleavage between the galea and the sub-aponeurotic loose connective tissue after each removal of bald skin and "lifting" of hairy skin into the operative defects as they are obliterated by primary closure. By this method, which we call hair-lifting, the patient benefits also from an associated partial face-lift. Whatever remains of baldness after as much hair-lifting as feasible has been performed, is filled with "punch" grafts or free or pedicled strips. Each stage of the procedure is done under local anesthesia. The entire procedure is particularly suitable for tonsure baldness in men and even in the skull-cap type of androgenic alopecia in women.
