[Chemotherapy of pulmonary carcinoma. Considerations and a proposal of a system of the evaluation of clinical course].

With absolutely no attempt to reject chemotherapy of lung cancer as useless, particularly now that extremely effective antiblastic products are available, it is however suggested that we should think carefully before adopting treatments of doubtful efficacy that may prolong the patient's life but also increase his suffering in that they produce extremely unpleasant side effects without having much influence on the basic symptoms. In such cases it may be the physician's painful duty to withhold treatment.

[Chest pain].

After a thorough description of the physiological background, the problem of chest pain is examined with extensive documentation including pictures. It is suggested that meticulous clinical assessment is of even greater value than laboratory tests or instrumental explorations for the accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of the condition causing the pain. In other words laboratory and instrumental assessments should be based on and used to confirm an approximate diagnosis formed on clinical data.

[A documented case of typical Hamman-Rich interstitial pulmonary fibrosis].

Following a brief mention of the classification of Hammer-Rich disease within idiopathic diffuse pulmonary fibrosis, the main clinical, radiological and laboratory features of these disease are outlined in brief. A personal case, subsequently controlled neroptically and histologically, is then described. From comparison between reported data and findings in the personal case, it is concluded that it was a typical, rare case (less than 150 others have so far been reported in all world literature) of Hamman-Rich disease. Other diagnostic hypotheses can be rejected because they are less correspondent to the typical picture and for various other considerations.
