Scintigraphy with In-111-labeled red cells in intermittent gastrointestinal bleeding.

The site of active intermittent gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding could not be found in a patient until abdominal scintigrams with indium-111-labeled red cells suggested that the bleeding was in the ascending colon. Right hemicolectomy abolished the hemorrhages. The binding of In-111 to the red cell is such that vascular activity could be clearly seen over a 5-day period. Indium-111-labeled red cells might provide an excellent tracer to locate intermittent active GI bleeding.

[Loss of digital substance in rheumatic diseases. Apropos of 43 cases].

The authors briefly summarize 16 cases involving digital necrosis observed in the course of rheumatic disorders (3 carpal tunnel syndromes, 2 cases of panarteritis, 2 of rheumatoid arthritis, 2 of lupus erythematosus, 2 of scleroderma, 2 of dermatomyositis, 1 of adult form of Still's disease, 1 of gout, and 1 case of cryoglobulinemia). In addition the case reports of 129 patients with connective tissue disease were reviewed (74 cases of disseminated lupus erythematosus, 43 of scleroderma, and 12 mixed connective tissue disorders). Soft tissue destruction of digits was observed in 15, 39 and 25% of these patients respectively, and true tissue necrosis of varying extent in 7, 9 and 0% of these cases. The incidence and pathogenic mechanisms responsible for these disorders and lesions were discussed.
