The hypothenar hammer syndrome.

The hypothenar hammer syndrome is manifested as digital ischaemia. It is caused by trauma to the ulnar arteries in workmen who use their hands as a mallet, and is not a rare disease. The pathophysiology of the disease is reviewed, with illustrative cases. The hypothenar hammer syndrome should be considered as a compensable injury.

Aneurysms of the renal artery with a case of extracorporeal repair.

Four patients with aneurysms of the renal artery are presented. They underwent reconstructive vascular surgery with preservation of renal function. In 1 patient the extracorporeal or 'bench-top' surgical technique was used, with cold renal perfusion and autotransplantation of the kidney to the pelvis.

Some observations on peripheral venous pressure using a non-invasive technique: a preliminary report.

Observations are presented which suggest that peripheral venous pressure can be measured indirectly by a non-invasive technique at the bedside, using a portable Doppler ultrasound flowmeter. The pressure at which the audio signals are heard over veins on release of the occluding cuff seems to be a measure of peripheral venous pressure. This is supported by showing a correlation between the method and conditions in which raised venous pressure in the lower limb are known to exist. The results of a few direct venous pressure measurements are reported which appear to give added support. It is suggested that this simple non-invasive technique may be of value in detecting certain cases of deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities.
