[Arthritis and palmoplantar pustulosis].

Pustulosis palmaris et plantaris may be associated with a number of articular diseases. Known to be present in Fiessinger-Leroy-Reiter syndrome and psoriasis arthropatica, this skin disease has been classified by Japanese authors as a new nosological entity: pustular osteo-arthritis. Pustulosis palmaris et plantaris seems to represent a meeting point for axial rheumatisms close to ankylozing spondylitis.

[Algodystrophy and venous thrombosis of the lower extremities. Diagnostic discussion. Apropos of 3 cases].

The authors report 2 cases of probable algodystrophy of the lower extremities, associated to a definite deep venous thrombosis. They discuss the relationships between the two diseases and the difficulties of the differential diagnosis in light of a third case where the algodystrophy is definite and manifests itself as a deep venous thrombosis confirmed by phlebography. They insist on the absolute need to rule out a deep venous thrombosis before considering the exceptional diagnosis of algodystrophy with pseudo-phlebitic manifestations.

[Hemorrhage caused by rectal varices and portal hypertension].

Hemorrhage from rectal varices due to portal hypertension is an exceptional finding (23 cases published), and arises as a result of derivation of hepatic blood flow into the inferior mesenteric vein (superior hemorrhoidal vein) associated with rectal vein dysplasia. A case is reported in a known cirrhotic.

[African schistosomiasis at the invasion stage. Criteria for diagnosis. Control after 5 years (author's transl)].

The authors expose their conclusions after controlling 181 young soldiers affected by schistosomiasis in an epidemic having occured in Tchad en 1973-74, none of them having been later on submitted to parasitic infection: --relative value of classical diagnosis criteria (50 p. 100); --reliability of immunologic symptoms; -- frequency, importance and precocity of specific granulomatous hepatic changes, detected by laparoscopie and biopsy (87,2 p. 100 of the cases). The value of niridazole is confirmed but continuance of granulomatosis after clinical recovery is not an exceptionnal possibility five years after the treatment, then raising diagnostic and immunologic problems.

[Cardiac autonomic neuropathy. Current realities and future outlook].

Cardiac autonomic neuropathy frequently affects Type 1 and Type 2 diabetic patients. This disease is distinguished by visible clinical consequences which can be tragic. It can also worsen a number of degenerative complications. Therefore, cardiac autonomic neuropathy seems to play a deciding role in silent ischaemia and in dysregulations of blood pressure. Clinical explorations continue to be based on the tests validated by Ewing, but the development of simple and reliable techniques seems to be an objective the interest of which cannot escape any clinician.

[Effect of arterial pressure level evaluated using ambulatory measurement on the two year course of microalbuminuria of type 1 diabetic subjects].

The aim of the present study is the evaluation two years apart of the effect of initial blood pressure values on ambulatory blood pressure determinations on the rise of microalbuminuria in 77 Type 1 diabetic patients. At the beginning of the study, subjects with incipient nephropathy have a whole day systolic and diastolic blood pressure greater than those whose microalbuminuria is below than 30 mg/24 h (127.7 +/- 15.1 mmHg versus 115 +/- 14.3 mmHg, p < 0.001; 76.6 +/- 8.1 mmHg versus 72.5 +/- 7.3 mmHg, p < 0.05). Among patients whose initial microalbuminuria was lower than 30 mg/24 h, incipient nephropathy will not be dependent on initial blood pressure values but conditioned by patients' age and duration diabetes of mellitus. On the other hand, blood pressure increases the microalbuminuria of the patients who had incipient nephropathy at the beginning of the study. In patients with diabetes mellitus, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring appreciates the impact of the pressure rise on the kidney, retina and heart.
