Reticulum cell sarcoma of the cecum and macroglobulinemia: a case report.

A case report is presented of an 81-yr old male who developed a reticulum cell sarcoma of the cecum while on immunosuppressive therapy for 13 yr for a primary diagnosis of macroglobulinemia. The considerable overlap between immunoproliferative disorders and the increased incidence of malignancies in patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy are discussed.

Wolf's syndrome in twins -- translocation in the mother.

A case of MZ twins, both affected by Wolf's syndrome, is described. Their mother, of subnormal look and low intellectual level is translocated. The children, born with a weight and size much below the average, show a very special morphotype; a hook-nose, an an abnormal conformation of the back edge of the nostrils (a protrusion in the shape of a horn overhanging the filtrum), hypertelorism, microcephaly. Great asynchronism in the maturation of the bones and a somatoschisis of the body of the cervical vertebrae are noted. Deletion of the short arm chromosome 4 is juxtacentromeric. The study of blood and tissue groups corroborates monozygosity. Dermatoglyphs are little abnormal and identical in the two children. The mother's family is phenotypically normal. At 19 months of age, measuring is still below 4, psychomotor progress is extremely weak, and convulsions are frequent.

Use of antimicrobial drugs in medical wards.

Antimicrobial usage patterns in 17,750 consecutive medical in-patients, monitored between 1966 and 1972 are described. 36.4% of all patients were exposed to one or more antimicrobials and about half of them received more than one antimicrobial agent. Penicillins accounted for 49% of all exposures and use of ampicillin rose steadily over the years. Concomitant receipt of more than one antimicrobial was common (22% of all exposed patients). Of 171 possible two-drug combinations involving 19 drugs, 126 were actually encountered. Apart from combinations, 60% of antimicrobial recipients received more than one agent at different times.

Advisability of surgical treatment for chronic membranous obstruction of the hepatic portion of the inferior vena cava.

Transatrial membranotomy was performed in a patient with membranous obstruction of the hepatic segment of the inferior vena cava, manifesting as longstanding varicosity and edema of the legs, chronic type of Budd-Chiari syndrome, liver cirrhosis and hypersplenism. The course in this patient and similar ones reported in the literature suggests a conservative approach.

[Plasma level of complement fractions C3 and C4 in children with glomerular nephropathies. Correlations with morphological and immunopathological studies of renal biopsies].

The measurement of the plasmatic level of C3 may easily be included in the record of all glomerular nephropathies. Its decrease is an important argument for the diagnosis of post-infectious acute glomerulonephritis, or renal involvement in sepsis supervening to a ventriculo-atrial diversion. Variations of C3 level are of major importance in the management of the nephropathies in systemic lupus. Besides these special etiological circumstances, a persisting low level of C3 most often cooresponds to a membrano-proliferative glomerulonephritis especially of the type characterized by intra-membranous dense deposits.
