The correlation of serum estrogens and androgens with bone density in the late postmenopause.

A pilot group of 16 women in the late postmenopause were evaluated for bone density by computerized axial tomography (CT) scanning and for hormonal milieu. A highly statistically significant positive correlation between lumbar-3 spongiosum density and both dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S), r = 0.67; P less than 0.005 and androstenedione (A), r = 0.56; P less than 0.03 was found. No such correlations were observed with estradiol (E2), estrone (E1) or an array of other hormones. The results of this preliminary report indicate a clear association of weak androgens with bone density in the late postmenopause.

Neurogenic pulmonary edema.

Neurogenic pulmonary edema, although not frequently seen, is extremely important in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary edema. Often the diagnosis is suggested by roentgenogram and clinical history and effective therapy can therefore be instituted.

Pulmonary sequestration.

Pulmonary sequestration is a disturbance in embryonic development that results in a cystic mass of nonfunctioning lung tissue. The authors present a case of this disorder and review the pertinent literature.

Accidental overdose intoxication: a hazard of drug smuggling.

Three patients involved in illicit drug smuggling via the swallowing of high dose, high purity drugs packed in multiple condoms are reported. Two of these patients experienced drug overdose symptoms due to leakage or rupture of the condoms in the GI tract. They were treated successfully.

Demonstration of pericardial effusion by real-time ultrasonography.

Pericardial effusion has a variety of causes. Among these, inflammatory processes are the most common. Traditionally x-rays, isotopic scanning, carbon dioxide injection, and M-mode echocardiography have been used for evaluation of pericardial effusion. The most recent advance in real time scanning enables the examiner to more completely and more accurately evaluate and serially investigate pericardial effusions through a noninvasive technique.

Ultrasonic diagnosis and aspiration of loculated pleural effusion.

A method of localizing and evacuating pleural effusions under visual control is described which in the author's opinion is an improvement and enhancement over current procedures. This method is easy, rapid, safe and causes no distress to the patient. On many occasions, failures at puncture of loculated fluid by conventional methods can successfully be accomplished under ultrasonic guidance.
