[Coronary disease after the radiotherapy of the mediastinum in Hodgkin's disease].

A 32-year-old man with Hodgkin's disease presented an acute myocardial infarction following mediastinal irradiation. A complete occlusion at the level of the proximal segment of the right coronary artery and a moderate stenosis of the left circumflex coronary artery was demonstrated by selective coronary angiography. An inferior hypokinesia was seen by the ventricular angiography. We discuss the possible role of the mediastinal irradiation in the induction of coronary heart disease as well as the importance of an early diagnosis.

[Free amino acid content of human milk in Spain].

The concentrations of free amino-acids have been determined in 54 samples of human milk: 18 in colostrum, 18 in transition milk and 18 in mature milk, all of them taken from women in the Eastern part of Andalucía. The amino-acids have been determined through high pressure ion-exchange chromatography and fluorimetric detection. Glutamic acid is the major free amino-acid, representing 21-52% of the total amount of these components in human milk. Its level increase significantly with advancing lactation. Taurine represents 14-19 of total free amino-acids in human milk, remaining its levels practically unchanged during the whole lactation. The fact that the major content of essential free amino-acids in present in human colostrum could suppose a contribution of these substances which are directly absorbable during a period of life when the nutritional requirements of the neonate are incremented.

[Screening of urinary tract. infection using the dip-strip method with 770 school girls (author's transl)].

The results of a significative bacteriuria detección programme with a group of 770 girls between 6 and 14 years old using culture method of dip-strips which have to be inoculated, incubated, and read by health officers, are shown. This method has proved to be efficient in the detección of significative bacteriuria in big towns and of low cost if it is compared with other methods.
