Total unilateral lung gangrene in Hodgkin's disease: treatment by thoracostomy.

Total gangrene of the left lung developed in a 30-year-old male patient with a pulmonary recurrence of Hodgkin's disease after mediastinal irradiation and chemotherapy. Clinically, tension pyopneumothorax and severe septic shock were present. Surgical repair was done by thoracostomy, resecting three ribs. A 2 x 0.5-cm hole in the necrotic wall of the left main bronchus was covered with an intercostal muscle bundle. The necrotic pleural surfaces were treated openly by daily change of dressings. The patient recovered satisfactorily and underwent four further courses of chemotherapy without any complications.

[Whipple's disease: abdominal lymphoma, intermittent fever and recurrent arthralgias].

A diagnostic laparotomy was performed on a 41-year old woman who, having suffered from recurrent arthralgias for several years and intermittent fever for many months, was found to have extensive enlargement of abdominal lymph-nodes, raising the suspicion of malignant lymphoma. Frozen-tissue biopsy was highly suspicious of Hodgkin's lymphoma, but light- and electron-microscopy revealed Whipple's disease, confirmed in an endoscopically obtained duodenal mucosal biopsy. The arthralgia quickly responded to antibiotic treatment. This case demonstrates the potential difficulties and errors in the diagnosis of Whipple's disease.

[Extension of the rosette test in the estimation of TAA-binding cells in breast cancer and mastopathy patients].

The antigen specific rosette test was used for the evaluation of a specific sensibilization of a tumour bearer to TAA. The frequency of the rosettes formed by peripheral blood leucocytes of breast carcinoma patients with antigen-coupled particles is significantly higher than that produced by leucocytes of normal donors. Following operation normally the number of TAA specific rosettes decrease, in 4 cases with recidives we found high numbers of TAA binding cells. In another 11/98 patients following ablatio mammae later than half a year we found positive test results and also in 17/60 patients with mastopathy. The clinical relevance of these results must be proofed in further investigations.

[Determination of TAA-binding cells in peripheral blood of breast cancer patients (author's transl)].

Circulating human breast tumor-associated antigen (TAA) specific lymphocytes were detected in breast carcinoma patients by antigen specific rosette technique. About 60 percent of patients with breast cancer showed a positive reaction in our test system, the number of rosettes were considerably increased in comparison to the values of blood donors. Following operation normally the number of TAA specific rosettes decrease, contrary, in all cases with recidives, tested, we found positive test results. There is evidence, that our modification of the specific rosette-technique is suitable for detection of malignomas and can be important for the postoperative control of patients with breast carcinoma.

Hospitals need humanism.

Just as technology is growing rapidly and is being carefully "mapped out," health care providers also must "map out" the most humane way of delivering health care.
