The authors report a case of CCHF observed in a patient living in South Mauritania. This is the first case of an haemorrhagic syndrome due to the CCHF virus in West Africa. Data concerning this disease in Africa are brought up to date.

Mixed cryoglobulinemia associated with liver disease is well known, but its mechanism and signification still have to be elucidated. The purpose of this study was to identify and to characterize hepatic disease by their immunochemical features among 60 patients presenting with mixed cryoglobulinemia. Thirteen cases of alcoholic liver disease and 8 of virus B hepatitis out of 40 cases in all of hepatic disease in this group were studied. A higher frequency of type III immunochemical features of cryoglobulinemia in alcoholic disease (83 p. 100), no matter how severe, as well as a higher frequency of type II in virus B hepatitis (62 p. 100) was demonstrated. There was no relationship between virus B hepatitis and cryoglobulinemia in our population. Therefore, the responsibility of virus B hepatitis in essential mixed cryoglobulinemia genesis has to be clarified. The localization of cryoglobulin in the Kupffer cell in two patients with chronic hepatitis confirms the essential role of the reticuloendothelial system in blood clearance of circulating immune complexes.

Studying a case of wirsungorrhage on a 62 years, alcoholic patient, the authors emphasize the difficulty of diagnosis of this upper digestive hemorrhage and the interest of fibroscopy and arteriography during hemorrhagic period. Pancreatectomy is not always possible and an hemostatic intervention is often indicated in emergency cases.

Hematomas developed in the small bowel of 6 patients receiving long-term anticoagulant therapy with antivitamins K. As the report by Chapuis and Mercier during the 81st French Congress of Surgery has fully covered this subject, the authors present their cases to illustrate their clinical features, while emphasizing certain particular characteristics: 1 - Associated hemorrhagic lesions were frequently observed. 2 - Early diagnostic follow-through barium meal examinations of the small intestine could be conducted without any particular problem. 3 - Laparotomy was necessary in two patients because of shock or local signs on examination. 4 - Small bowel lesions can vary in severity, sometimes in the same patient (case no 1). Some hematomas heal spontaneously after discontinuation of anticoagulant treatment, while others can, theoretically, develop necrotic reactions. Small bowel resection was necessary in two patients. 5 - A frequent occurrence was the association of lesions in the right colic and ileal regions. 6 - Finally, anticoagulant treatment can often be reduced, discontinued, or replaced by other therapy.
Renal amylase clearance in relation to creatinin clearance (Cam/Ccr) was determined for 20 patients suffering from acute pancreatitis (AP). For each of them, the diagnosis rested upon operative or laparoscopic observation of characteristic anatomical or histological lesions. The average clearance relationship in these patients reached 16 +/- SEM 3.8%. These results were significantly higher than those obtained from 132 patients who had been hospitalized for other medical or surgical diseases, as well as from 51 test patients (p less than 0.001). The authors stressed the diagnostic importance of this test, in particular in the presence of a normal amylasemia level.

The LCPR or Rotated Connective Flap is a simple mucogingival surgery technique that permits the to recreate, of an interdental papilla by the contribution of the vascularized connective pedicle. Keeping a good vascularization of the flap by its pedicle and its good recovering by some superficial flaps, seems to insure a long dated stability of the reconstruction.
