[Intra-epithelial neoplasia of the vulva and smoking].

VIN III etiology is multifactorial with a predominant role held by human papillomavirus infections, especially infections with HPV type 16. Other cofactors are also involved. We reviewed our patients presenting with VIN III, focusing our attention on smoking. Out of 37 patients 29 (78%) were smokers and among those who presented with a relapse after treatment (11 patients) all were smokers. We discuss mechanisms by which tobacco could act as a cofactor in VIN III.

[Breast screening in Geneva?].

Repeated screening-mammography is the best method for an earlier diagnosis of breast cancer in women aged 50 years and more. This diagnostic tool is closely related to the factor "time" and is responsible for the modification of the TNM-groups of the cancers to be treated. An actual project has to consider the local conditions as well as the results of the large randomized trials; special efforts have to be made to ascertain the quality of the screening and its control.

[Ventricular arrhythmias in mitral valve prolapse syndrome (author's transl)].

Long-term ECG monitoring over 22 hours and exercise ECGs were performed in 72 patients with mitral valve prolapse syndrome. 70% of the patients had ventricular arrhythmias. In 28% severe arrhythmias in the form of multifocal atopic beats and ventricular runs were demonstrated. Long-term ECG monitoring was a suitable method for detection of these arrhythmias and superior to exercise ECG. Clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic findings could not be correlated to the severity of ventricular arrhythmias.
