Pigmented nevus divided between recipient and donor sites by intermediate skin grafting procedure: a study with fluorescence method (Falck & Hillarp).

Pigment freckles seen in donor and recipient sites at intermediate skin grafting were studied, chiefly by means of Falck & Hillarp's fluorescence method, with the following results. (1) An important role is played by the regenerative eccrine sweat ducts in the mechanism of recurrence of so-called "lentigines" after incomplete removal. (2) Junctional activity, not associated with the regeneration of epidermal appendages, can recommence in the epidermis of intradermal nevi. (3) B-type nevus cells once again actively produce melanin. (4) Specific fluorescence was observed corresponding to the melanin granules distributed in the manner of "nuclear caps" in keratinocytes around junctional activities. This latter finding may indicate that melanosomes which still contain DOPA are transferred from melanin-producing cells to keratinocytes.

Orthopedic symptoms in pustular bacterid (pustulosis palmaris et plantaris): Tietze's syndrome and arthritis of manubriosternal joint due to focal infection.

Painful orthopedic symptoms in the sternal area, such as arthritis of the manubriosternal and sternoclavicular joint or Tietze's syndrome, were found in 14 of 132 cases of pustulosis palmaris et plantaris. The majority of the pustulosis palmaris et plantaris patients with orthopedic symptoms had skin eruptions not only on the palms and soles, but also on the backs of the hands and feet, the arms, the legs and the trunk. Such cases were usually accompanied by elevation of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, leucocytosis, changes in serum globulin, and also pyrexia at the time of exacerbation. The skin and orthopedic symptoms often worsened after acute exacerbation of the focal infection, and occasionally responded to tonsillectomy or chemotherapy with antibiotics, which is suggestive of the probable cause of the bacterid.

Automated diagnosis of congenital dislocation of the hip.

A study of the automated diagnosis of luxatio coxae congenita (LCC) was performed to establish an automated screening system for hip radiographs. A specific parameter with high diagnostic accuracy was selected by the use of information theory. Pattern recognition programs were written to extract the parameter from digitized hip radiographs. Parameter measurement was performed on 10 radiographs and compared with manual measurements. Results showed good agreement with measurements obtained by specialists. This study confirms the possibilities of automated diagnosis of LCC.
