Racial aspects of the a-b ridge count on the human palm.

This paper deals with racial differences in the a-b ridge count. From the data of 75 series it is found that the Whites and Blacks are showing only little variability. In White populations the a-b ridge counts vary between 80 and 86 ridges, in Black populations (having generally lower values) between 74 and 80. The series from the Indian subcontinent are characteristic by very low values and a great variability, which ranges between 68 and 80. High values and also a great variability were observed among American Indians (80-90). The hitherto known data for Mongoloid populations from Asia are insufficient for detailed evaluations.

Fosfomycin in patients subjected to periodic hemodialysis.

The sensitivity to fosfomycin which is found in organisms that are frequently found in urinary infections and the lack of toxicity of this antibiotic were the reasons for which we tested fosfomycin on patients who were subjected to periodic hemodialysis. We were interested in studying (1) if fosfomycin was dialyzable, and (2) its therapeutic pattern in these patients. We selected a group of 27 patients from our programme of periodic hemodialysis who spend 18 h each week in three sessions with an RSP Travenol artificial kidney, using Ultra Flo II as the dialytic unit. They were all free of infection and had not received any antibiotics for 40 days before the test was carried out. They were administered 1 or 2 g of fosfomycin by the intravenous route at the time of beginning the dialysis. Blood samples and samples from the dialytic bath were taken before administering the fosfomycin, and 1/2, 3 and 6 hours after administering it. Our results show that fosfomycin is 70-80% dialyzed by the membranes of the artificial kidney and that during the hemodialysis, given the clearance which the dialyzing membrane makes of the antibiotic, the usual doses of fosfomycin should not be altered. No side effects were observed in any of the patients.

[Destruction, of traumatic origin, of the orbito-palpebral region and of the nasal pyramid].

Sequelae of nose and orbito-oculo-palpebral destructions from a traumatic origin can present on the therepeutical level under various aspects according to the lesions observed. Accidental damages must indeed be treated by surgical and prosthetic means. The loss of the ocular globe and of its annexes make of these traumatisms an essentially plastic problem, difficult indeed but bringing about satisfactory issues on the whole.

[Traumatic intracranial penetration of the mandibular condyle].

The authors report a case of severe multiple trauma in which, as a result of the large number of complex injuries together with necessary therapeutic measures, the intra-cranial penetration of the mandibular condyle was unnoticed during the first months following the accident. They emphasize the discordance between the anatomical lesions and their clinical manifestations. Thus a complete radiological examination is necessary at a secondary stage in order to detect such lesions which, by contrast to that which might be supposed, are not obvious clinically. As far as treatment is concerned, rather than resorting to orthopaedic menoeuvres with imprecise traction and which, in any case, fail to resolve the entire problem. the authors recommend a combined maxillo-facial neurosurgical operation.

[Facial phycomycosis. A propos of 2 cases].

Among deep mycoses, sub-mocosal phycomycosis due to Entomophthora Cornata is of interest to stomatologists as it is mainly located in the middle and lower areas of the face. symptomatology is characterized in general by upper naso-labial deformation the extent of which is dependent on the stage of development reached. The only means of identifying the nature of the lesions is by biopsy which always enables diagnosis of deep mycosis to be made and sometimes, by means of a culture, identification of the agent responsible. This is a lower saprophytic fungus of decaying vegetable and telluric matter. It usually enters the body through the mucous membrane when there is a traumatic fissure. Ingress through the teeth should not be overlooked. Antifungal preparations and reconstructive surgery constitute the treatment early application of which determines prognosis.
