Normokalaemic periodic paralysis as the presenting manifestation of hyperthyroidism.

We report a 50 year old male admitted with complaints of episodic weakness. During the attack of paralysis there was no hypokalaemia. There were no clinical signs of thyrotoxicosis, but since thyroid function tests revealed hyperthyroidism, he was treated as a case of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis, with no recurrence of symptoms over 6 months.

Congenital afibrinogenaemia.

A case of congenital afibrinogenaemia in a young female child is described. She had haemorrhagic tendency since birth in the form of markedly prolonged umbilical bleeding and easy bruising afterwards. Two of her brothers had bleeding tendencies, one died shortly after birth due to uncontrollable umbilical bleeding and other died at the age of 12 years from internal haemorrhage. The family study indicates the mode of inheritance to be probably autosomal recessive. The principal laboratory findings are complete non-coagulability of blood, grossly abnormal coagulation tests, zero ESR value, failure to detect fibrinogen by heat coagulation or chemical precipitation tests and biuret reaction and correction of thrombin time after fibrinogen infusion.

Pressor effects of alcohol in normotensive and hypertensive subjects.

The effects of acute alcohol consumption and abstinence on blood pressure were studied in normal healthy subjects and in non-drinking and regularly drinking hypertensive patients. All subjects drank alcohol (1 g/kg body weight daily) for 5 days then abstained for 5 days. There was no significant difference in blood pressure in normal subjects during and after alcohol ingestion. However, in hypertensive non-drinkers both systolic and diastolic pressures when standing were significantly higher during the period of alcohol intake; supine blood pressure was not significantly higher. In hypertensive patients who drank regularly, standing and supine systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significantly higher during the period of drinking.
