Adverse reaction to 99Tcm sulfur colloid in a routine examination. A case report.

The case of a patient in whom an allergic reaction developed after injecting 99Tcm sulfur colloid for a routine liver scan is herein presented. Since this reaction did not appear when injecting the same patient 99Tcm polyphosphate for a bone scan, it can be assumed that the allergic reaction was due to the stabilizer.

Cyclic combination chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer.

Forty-four patients with metastatic breast cancer were treated with monthly courses of cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil. Complete remission was achieved in five of the 44 patients (11.4%), partial remission in 17 (38.7%) and stabilization in 19 (43.2%). Progression of the disease was seen in three patients (6.7%). Forty patients are still alive and continue to receive chemotherapy. The main side effects were leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, weakness, nausea and vomiting; all were mild and transient, and were treated symptomatically.

Breast cancer arising in surgical scars.

Twelve women who developed breast cancer at the site of old surgical scars in the breast are presented. Six had had former breast biopsies, 3 drainage of breast abscesses, and 3 developed breast cancer in old thoracotomy scars transversing the breast. The combination of trauma as an oncogen and scar tissue as a functional and immunological locus minoris resistentia seems to play a major role in the development of breast cancer in this group of patients. The associaton of breast cancer, scar, and trauma would not be coincidental. Increased attention drawn to this entity may lead to a rise in the number of cases diagnosed among patients with breast scars after biopsies, abscesses, trauma, or foreign body implantation.

[Aggression].

The aggressiveness is not a drive and has nothing in common with Freudian death instinct, but it is one of the ways to fulfill the possession desires and the narcissistic desires. As the way to achievement, it comes into a conflict with the fear of failure, with the co-operation advantages and with the altruistic human drives. As the latter ones are rather weak in an average person, the co-operation--as a basis of society--is in all its strata imbued with aggression. Each social structure, up to the present day, has contained aggression as an organic component. The hope of creating a society free from aggression is not based on the betterment of the human character, but on the growth of the productive forces. The existence of the interpersonal aggression has been concealed from a child, brought up in the spirit of the centuries-old fallacious educational principles. As a result, the child develops its first neurosis--the Superego neurosis. The Superego is not a structural component of the human psyche, but it is a neurotic formation. In the subsequent years, the confrontation of the child and the youth with the true aggression may affect his or her development in various ways. In some cases, the given individual disregards the Superego commands and pays for it with the neurosis of permanent guilt feelings. In other cases, the individual deals with the Superego as with the ethical values in themselves, and develops an inhibition neurosis (Gehemmtheitsneurose). Still in other cases he or she revolts against the mendacity of the society and develops a pseudopsychopathy. The proper education should strive to awake the nobe feelings in the child, but at the same time to reveal the whole truth about the existence of aggression in the human interrelations. In these conditions, through the conscious choice between the egoistic and the altruistic drives, could the growing person form the moral attitudes fitting his or her own nature. Because the ethics of the values in themselves is but a philosophical fiction, the only real ethics is that which is based on feelings.
