Budd Chiari syndrome from myosarcoma of right atrium.

A 50-year-old man presented with abdominal pain followed by marked liver and renal dysfunction. Although liver scan appearances were not diagnostic, at laparotomy a tense, enlarged liver was found with thrombosis of the inferior vena cava. Despite full supportive measures the patient died within a month of laparotomy. Subsequent necropsy confirmed the diagnosis of Budd Chiari syndrome and revealed the primary cause to be a myosarcoma of the right atrium, an occurrence hitherto unreported.

Altered peripheral nerve function resulting from haemodialysis.

The amplitudes of muscle and nerve action potentials evoked median nerve stimulation were recorded just before and immediately after haemodialysis. These revealed a growht of action potential amplitude during dialysis. It is suggested that some component of the defective peripheral nerve function that inevitably accompanies uraemia is temporarily improved during dialysis.

The effect of bromocriptine in patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy.

A double blind trial of bromocriptine in the treatment of 14 patients with the symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy is reported. 5 patients did not complete the trial mainly because of side-effects due to an overdosage of bromocriptine. In the remaining 9 patients there was symptomatic improvement in 6, with objective evidence of improvement in 3 patients on flow rate measurements. The possible modes of action of bromocriptine in this condition are discussed.
