Long-term effects of vasectomy on pituitary-gonadal function in man.

Plasma concentrations of testosterone (T), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) and percent binding of T to plasma protein (TB) were studied in 16 normal fertile men and in 81 men who had undergone vasectomy from 1 to 5 yr earlier. No significant difference from the control values to T = 582 plus or minus 39.5 (SE) ng/100 ml; FSH = 15.09 plus or minus 2.18 (SE) mIU/ml; LH =10.03 plus or minus 1.13 (SE) mIU/ml and TB = 92.99 plus or minus 0.285 (SE) % binding was detected in any group of the vasectomized men in any of the parameters studied.

Volvulus of the small intestine.

A series of seventy-five cases of volvulus of the small intestine are reviewed. There is a 14.2% incidence of this condition among cases of acute intestinal obstruction. It is more common than cecal volvulus but less common than sigmoid volvulus. The patients are usually healthy, poor, adult villagers whose diet is heavy and vegetarian with a high roughage content; they mainly do hard manual work. It is difficult to make a correct preoperative diagnosis. In this series, the percentage of primary volvulus is 73.33% and of secondary is 26.66%. The etiology, incidence, symptomatology and mortality are studied.
