[Aspergillosis of the lymphatic nodes].

The authors emphasize fungal lesions to the lymphatic nodes confirmed by the presence of Aspergillus flavus in blood and throat smear cultures (on Sabouraud's medium) and presence of A. flavus in cytological examination of biopsy from the lymphatic node, increased number of eosinophils in peripheral blood, and infiltration of eosinophils in bone marrow and lymphatic nodes. Aspergillosis coexisted with the infection with Candida albicans and S. aureus. The treatment of recurrent tonsillitis with antibiotics and also lowered granulocyte myeloperoxidase activity with increased production of O2 peroxide ion might predispose to such fungal infection.

[Effect of livex on hypochromic anemia].

Livex is a lyophilised preparation of the bovine blood which contains 70% of proteins and 0.3% of iron. Livex was given to 25 patients with iron deficiency anemia (group I), and 25 patients with lymphoreticular malignancies accompanied by iron deficiency with or without anemia. The dose was 5 g t.i.d. for 3 months. The majority of patients of group I were women. Excessive menstrual bleeding and chronic gastritis were most common causes of iron deficiency in this group. Livex statistically significantly increased hemoglobin, hematocrit, corrected reticulocyte count, mean erythrocyte hemoglobin, serum iron, percent transferrin saturation, and leukocyte count. Therapy produced significant increase in serum iron, total iron binding capacity, and percent transferrin saturation in patients with lymphoreticular malignancies.

The effect of a new antidepressant drug, C-45, and imipramine on some hemodynamic parameters in the dog.

C-45, given to dogs in doses corresponding to 1/30 and 1/10 of LD50 iv, slowed down the cardiac rhythm and depressed systolic, diastolic, and end-diastolic pressures in the left ventricle. A dose of 1/30 of LD50 slightly increased, and a dose of 1/10 of LD50 depressed the indices of contractility of the cardiac muscle. Imipramine produced similar effect but accelerated the cardiac rhythm, and when used in a dose of 1/10 of LD50, it impaired atrioventricular and intraventricular conduction.
