[Non-surgical treatment of kidney abscesses. Apropos of 12 cases].

Twelve renal abscesses were treated with percutaneous aspiration (6 patients), percutaneous drainage (3 patients) or antibiotics alone (3 patients). The diagnosis was established based on computed tomography-guided aspiration in 9 cases and on radiographic findings and follow-up in the remaining 3. A bacterium was isolated in 2 out of 9 blood cultures, 2 out of 11 urine cultures and in all cultures of pus obtained by percutaneous aspiration. All patients had a good outcome. Our findings confirm the efficacy of percutaneous aspiration in the treatment of renal abscesses. Percutaneous drainage should only be considered when the abscess is very large or aspiration has failed.

[Pregnancy with delivery at term in hemodialyzed women].

Genital disturbances are frequent in chronic renal failure with amenorrhea anovulatory cycles, elsewhere a good hemodialysis improve these disturbances pathogenesis of there; derived from central gonado stimuline dysfunction. We stated 13 pregnancies in our hemodialysed population. Only one successful delivery of a (baby alive and in due time) is registered. Residual diuresis and blood pressure are the most important predictor pregnancy factors in spite of a good dialysance the fetal prognosis in still unclear. Complications were observed in the mother as well as new babies.

[Association of cheiroarthropathy and Dupuytren's disease in diabetes mellitus].

Prospective study of 280 diabetic adults and 100 control show an association of limited joint mobility (LJM) with Dupuytren's contracture (DC) in 37 diabetic and no one of control case. In 80 diabetic with LJM, DC is found in 46.25 p. cent against 21 p. cent in 200 diabetic without LJM (p less than 0.00003). LJM and DC are significantly related to diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy. Their coexistence in diabetic patients, reported by other authors may be related to diffuse alteration of diabetic connective tissue.

Immunocytochemical evidence for vasopressin and oxytocin pathways in the hypothalamo-hypophyseal axis of the camel (Camelus dromedarius).

Immunoperoxidase staining was applied to the hypothalamus and posterior pituitary of the camel. Vasopressin and oxytocin cells and fibers were identified in different nuclei of the hypothalamus. Immunoreactive fiber tracts were followed to the median eminence and the posterior pituitary. In the median eminence, two different pathways were found for vasopressin, one passing to the posterior lobe and the other contacting capillaries of the portal system. The oxytocin antiserum stained one unique pathway in the internal zone on its way to the posterior pituitary. The two immunoreactivities were shown in the posterior lobe of the pituitary, vasopressin staining being the more intense. Relations between these data and the physiology of the camel are discussed.
