Treatment of pneumatosis cystoides coli by oxygen inhalation.

Endotracheal intubation and intermittent positive pressure ventilation were used to overcome the difficulties of oxygen therapy for pneumatosis cystoides coli in a 9-year-old child with Down's syndrome and a congenital heart defect. As compared to previously reported cases, a shorter duration of treatment and a lower arterial oxygen tension proved successful.

Psychiatry, the healthy invalid.

The author examines the reasons that have been offered in support of a pressimistic appraisal of psychiatry's future. The consequences for psychiatry of increasingly detailed knowledge of the interaction of psychological and physiological processes are emphasized, and the author concludes that psychiatry will continue to play a dominant role in the study and treatment of medical and surgical illness. Thus, although the field is in a transition period, it is certainly not moribund.

Adenocarcinoma of the small bowel as a complication of Crohn's disease.

Two cases of adenocarcinoma of the bowel occurring in association with Crohn's disease are described. The first affected the terminal ileum and the second the terminal ileum and caecum. The 28 cases so far described in the world literature are briefly reviewed. It is suggested that adenocarcinoma of the small bowel may be a complication of longstanding Crohn's disease. Eleven patients developed the carcinoma in a surgically bypassed segment of bowel, and it is therefore recommended that where surgery is undertaken excision rather than bypass should be the treatment of choice.
