The cognitive-mnestic performance profile of a patient with bilateral asymmetrical thalamic infarction.
The case of a 46-year old patient with a bilateral medial thalamic infarct, affecting mainly the region of the internal medullary lamina, but not of the mammillothalamic tract, is documented neuropsychologically and neuroradiologically. Testing was done after acute remission. The patient was of average intelligence but manifested a number of verbal memory problems. These are most likely attributable to the selective diencephalic damage and are interpreted as a disconnection syndrome.

[Unusual cause of upper digestive hemorrhage: gastric lipoma. Report of a case].
Lipomas are benign tumors that are common in other sites but rare in the stomach. They are usually submucosal and, when symptomatic, are most often accompanied by gastrointestinal bleeding from ulceration of gastric mucosa overlying the mass or by symptoms of obstruction. A 55-year-old male with epigastric abdominal pain and upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage due to a gastric lipoma is presented; endoscopic and x-ray examinations revealed a submucosal tumor on the posterior wall of the gastric corpus, with ulceration in the mucosa covering it. Biopsies of the mass were nondiagnostic. The patient underwent a complete submucosal excision: the intraoperative histologic study established the diagnosis of gastric lipoma. The post operative period was uneventful. A review of the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this rare disease is reported.

[Appendiceal oxyuriasis: a case report and review of the literature].
The authors describe a case of appendicular oxyuriasis and then go on to review the international literature on this condition. Nothing in the case report provides the surgeon with useful pointers which may help him distinguish between appendicular oxyuriasis and common appendicitis. This is in line with all the existing literature which yields no elements capable of suggesting an accurate preoperative diagnosis. Only anamnestic evidence of previous oxyuriasis can help the clinician in this direction. It should be noted, however, that there are no significant differences in postoperative morbidity between "common" acute appendicitis and appendicitis due to oxyuriasis, when the parasitosis is adequately treated.

Electrophysiologic evaluation of intravenous verapamil in man.
The acute electrophysiological effects of intravenous verapamil (0.15 mg/kg body weight) were studied in 21 subjects with estimated normal impulse formation and conduction. Significant effects were sinus cycle shortening, depression of intranodal conduction and prolongation of AV node refractory periods. Sinus node recovery time, sinoatrial conduction time, atrial refractory periods, infranodal conduction, His--Purkinje system, and bundle branch refractory periods were unchanged. The clinical implications of these properties are discussed.
