Recent views on Buerger's disease.

Eighty-two biopsy specimens of vessels from 37 patients with clinical Buerger's disease were examined histologically and classified. The aetiology of this vascular disorder is discussed and a basis suggested for its pathogenesis as primarily a thrombotic disorder complicated by vasculitis. Thus both acute and chronic lesions are acceptable as entities.

Use of soluble swabs in the diagnosis of bladder neoplasia.

A technique is described for obtaining samples of bladder epithelium using soluble swabs. Changes indicating neoplasia were seen in a large proportion of patients with bladder carcinoma. These changes were absent in the non-neoplastic control cases. The method provided tissue similar to that obtained by biopsy and surgical removal. The cellular appearances resembled those seen in neoplastic cells exfoliated into urine.
