[Myocardial perfusion visualized with SPECT: three-dimensional representation].

A recently developed computer program for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of SPECT images has been employed to study myocardial perfusion in coronaropathic patients using MIBI-99mTc or 201Tl chloride. By subtracting after-stress from at-rest 3D reconstructed images, even small ischemic lesions could be located in the myocardium, with good morphological definition. The general characteristics of the method and some clinical results are here presented.

Human chorionic gonadotropin regression following removal of ectopic pregnancy.

Plasmatic Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) was studied in 41 patients undergoing salpingectomy for tubal pregnancy. On the temporal scale of our research, a biexponential model proved to be adequate to describe hCG clearance; the combined reading of the results of this research and those of other Authors have led us to maintain that hCG clearance is characterised by at least three components. HCG clearance was faster in patients with a higher initial hCG. Nevertheless the problem of hCG clearance depending on its initial value remains unsolved and requires further investigation. The regression curve and relative hCG values obtained in this study can be used as reliable models of comparison in the monitoring of patients undergoing conservative surgical treatment of tubal pregnancy.
