[Traumatic intramural hematoma of the duodenum. Description of a case].
The traumatic intramural hematoma of the duodenum is the result of contusion of the retroperitoneal portion of the duodenum. This lesion occurs most frequently in children and can result in complete obstruction of the second and third portion of the duodenum.

Determination of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol as contaminant in drinking water.
An analytical procedure for the determination of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (2-EH) in drinking water is presented. The method is based on volatile-compound stripping, adsorption on activated-charcoal-filled tubes, solvent elution, identification by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and determination by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection. Bottled samples with undesirable organoleptic characteristics were analyzed to determine a possible correlation with the presence of 2-EH. The presence of 2-EH at 2-10 micrograms/L was confirmed in several samples. The presence of di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (D2EHP) was also checked in all samples. This compound was always found at 2-30 micrograms/L. Hydrolysis of D2EHP was carried out for 2 weeks to evaluate its possible contribution to water contamination by 2-EH. Tests did not show measurable amounts of the alcohol. Nonetheless, the hydrolysis of phthalates in the weakly acidic conditions of the examined waters would not justify the presence of 2-EH at the observed levels, and so it is reasonable to hypothesize a direct contamination from packaging materials containing 2-EH as residue from D2EHP synthesis.

[Research and sanitary significance of the presence of heavy metals in cow's milk produced in the Province of Rome].
The presence of Lead, Mercury, Cadmium and Chromium has been estimated in the cow's milk produced in the Rome County. The results show the presence of the metals in cow's milk in different concentrations (5.6-102 micrograms/kg for Pb; 0.9-38 micrograms/kg for Hg: 2.3-53 micrograms/kg for Cr; only one sample positive at 0.77 microgram/kg for Cd). The sanitary evaluation of the data was based on the amounts of metals theorically assumed with milk, and compared with the "tolerable" values as suggested by International Organizations.
