Fibrous histiocytoma metastatic to the orbit.

The term fibrous histiocytoma encompasses a heterogenous group of tumors believed to have a common origin in the histiocyte. These tumors demonstrate a wide histopathologic spectrum ranging from a predominantly cellular to a predominantly fibrous pattern. No clinical or histological criteria have been identified that can predict malignant behavior. Although generally characterized by local recurrence, a metastatic potential does exist. Fibrous histiocytoma of the thigh metastasized to the orbit.

Normal infant after treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia in pregnancy with daunorubicin.

Daunorubicin, thioguanine and cytosine arabinoside were administered from the 17th to 34th weeks of pregnancy in a 23-year-old patient with acute myeloid leukaemia. The patient went into remission of her leukaemia, and a normal male infant was born after labour was induced in the 40th week. This experience supports the view that modern regimens of anti-leukaemic drugs may be administered during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy without harmful effects on the foetus.

The genesis and implementation of the Tasmanian obstetric survey.

The genesis and implementation of a continuing obstetric audit in Tasmania is described. The survey includes all public and private deliveries in Tasmania. Some of the early difficulties and their resolution are discussed. Because of its simplicity, the suggestion has been made that such a system would be suitable for a national audit.

Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in children.

We reviewed the cases of 60 children with acute osteomyelitis with an average follow-up of 34 months. All patients were treated initially with high-dose intravenous (i.v.) antibiotics. Eight patients did not respond to this treatment within 48 h and had surgical drainage. The remaining 52 patients were divided into two subgroups: (a) 35 patients received i.v. antibiotics for an average of 21 days; (b) 17 patients received i.v. antibiotics for an average of 8 days followed by 4 weeks of oral therapy with monitoring of serum bactericidal levels. The incidence of chronic infection (12% for the operatively treated group and 4% for the nonoperatively treated group) depended more on the time interval between the presentation of symptoms and the onset of treatment than it did on the route of antibiotic administration.
