Intracranial tuberculomas: a CT study.

CT appearances of 25 tuberculomas are described. The image morphology of the immature forms is small discs and rings with massive oedema. The mature forms appear as large rings or lobulated masses. The large rings enclose a mass, a little more dense than brain; the lobulated masses represent coalesced small discs and rings forming a large tuberculoma. These images are consistent and repetitive in tuberculomas. The larger masses form the surgical group and need excision; the smaller masses form the medical group and have had successful medical therapy with serial scans to document healing. The presence of multiple masses is recorded in 55% of the cases.

Split-hand and split-foot deformity inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.

A intermarried consanguineous family with split-hand and -foot deformity occurring in two sibship is presented. Both the sibship resulted from marriage between first cousins. This report, together with those of Ray (1960) and Freire-Maia (1971), further demonstrates that split-hand and -foot deformity can be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.

Study of an epidemic of venoocclusive disease in India.

Twenty-five cases of rapidly developing ascites occurring in an epidemic form were observed in a tribal district in Central India during August 1972-May 1973. Eleven of the patients died. Six patients were brought to hospital and studied for periods of two to 17 months. Necropsy was performed on one patient who died. The clinical features suggested an outflow tract obstruction such as a Budd-Chiari-like syndrome or venoocclusive disease. Radiographic and haemodynamic studies demonstrated a combination of post and perisinusoidal blocks. Liver dysfunction was indicated by the presence of a marked bromsulphthalein retention and mild to moderate hypoalbuminaemia. Histological examination of the liver biopsies showed changes that ranged from centrizonal haemorrhagic necrosis to an extensive centrilobular fibrosis associated with central vein occlusion. The disease was apparently caused by a food toxin, and the possible nature of this is discussed.

A randomised controlled trial of an oral solution of prostaglandin E2 and oral oxytocin used immediately after low amniotomy for induction of labour in the presence of a favourable cervix.

A randomised controlled trial was carried out in 50 primigravidae and 50 multigravidae to compare the effectiveness in induction of labour after low amniotomy of prostaglandin E2, given as an oral solution, and oxytocin, given as buccal tablets. The results showed that in dosages recommended by the manufacturers, both oxytocic preparations were almost equally effective. With oral oxytocin, once labour had been established and dosage was left to the discretion of the staff, there appeared to be a potentially dangerous tendency to continue giving large doses despite adequate uterine contractions. The authors comment that this was probably the reason why oxytocin-treated multigravidae having normal deliveries within 24 hours had labours significantly shorter on average than those of other successfully induced patients.
