The authors report a case of classic esophagitis simulating candidiasis radiographically. Endoscopy provided pathological conformation of herpes infection, showing typical multinucleated cells with intranuclear inclusion bodies.
A rapid and safe method of roentgenographic evaluation of the acutely inflamed wall of the gallbladder, infusion tomography of the gallbladder, was performed 146 times, and the correlation with 67 subsequent cholecystectomies was reviewed. If the results of infusion tomogram of the gallbladder are abnormal, the gallbladder is diseased; if acute cholecystitis is present, the results of the examination will be abnormal in 96 per cent; if results of the infusion tomogram of the gallbladder are normal, the results are questionable, and oral cholecystography should be performed to evaluate the condition further. If the results of a repeat dosage oral cholecystogram are abnormal, the gallbladder probably is diseased, even if the results of an infusion tomographic examination of the gallbladder are normal.

The occurrence of non-function in one half of a horseshoe kidney resulting from hydronephrosis can, if unrecognized, create a serious surgical as well as medical problem. The anterior position of the ureter in relation to the isthmus, as well as strictures and accessory vessels increase the incidence of hydronephrosis, which if severe enough, can go on to non-function. The key diagnostic factor is the observation of the visualised side, which shows the characteristic malrotation of the calyces and the deviation of the long axis of the kidneys; these are associated with a mass effect on the obstructed side, with or without a 'crescent' sign. Five cases of this unusual occurrence are presented.
Assertiveness and affective quality of voice intonation were compared for approving, neutral, and disapproving statements made by 20 sets of parents of elementary-aged children who demonstrated emotional or behavioral disturbances in school and 20 sets of parents of "normal" control children. For mothers, a significant interaction (p = .01) was found between parental group and verbal affect: mothers of "normal" control children demonstrated more assertive voice intonation when expressing affective verbal content (approval or disapproval) than when making neutral statements; mothers of "disturbed" children demonstrated less assertive voice intonation when expressing affective verbal content than when making neutral statements. Differences between mothers on affective quality of voice did not reach statistical significance. No significant differences were found for fathers.
