[Solitary pleural fibroma: report of two cases and review of the literature].

The pleural fibroma is an uncommon tumor of pleura. Its Diagnosis is guided by chest imaging and confirmed by surgery and histological exam. We respectively report two observations of solitary pleural fibroma in 68 and 27 old years patients. The authors expose the circumstances of discovery and present clinical features, diagnosis explorations and therapeutical methods. Prognosis depends primary on histological findings and malignant recurrences are possible.

[A rare complication of antineoplastic BCG therapy: pulmonary tuberculosis].

Local treatment with intra vesical BCG for bladder carcinoma have few complications. Pulmonary side effects are rare, like interstitial pneumonitis. We report a case of a 77-year-old man, treated with BCG for bladder carcinoma who developed illness and tumoral chest-X-ray opacity. Mycobacterium tuberculosis bovis was isolated in culture and 2 years after in sputum. Physio pathologic mechanism of pulmonary features remains controversial, however this case suggest that lung lesions can be result of an infection process.

[Cardiac manifestations of sickle cell disease].

In this study the authors report the cardiac complications seen in the course of sickle-cell disease. Among 41 homozygot patients the complications reported were as follow. Effort dyspnea in 15/32 (46% cases); systolic souffle in 36 patients (87.8% of cases); cardiomegaly in 30 patients (17% of cases) and electric abnormalities in 70% of cases. The echotomography practised in 27 cases was normal in 12 cases and showed a hyperkinetic aspect in 10 cases, a cardiomyopathy in four cases.

[Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies positivity in a case of idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis].

Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis is a rare disease of unknown etiopathogeny which is characterized by hemoptysis due to alveolar haemorrhage. We report the case of a 16 years-old girl with idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis, diagnosed through clinical, radiological, cytological and histopathological data. The finding of myeloperoxydase-anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) positivity led us to suspect an associated vasculitis which was not further demonstrated.

[Hyperparathyroidism in deficiency rickets. Changes after vitamin therapy].

The study concerned 16 cases of deficiency rickets observed over 3 years. The level of serum parathyroid (IPTH) hormone was always increased in the late stages of rickets, but was normal in 3 cases of early rickets with hypocalcaemia and monophosphataemia. There was no statistical correlation between the level of IPTH and monophosphataemia. There was no statistical correlation between the level of IPTH and calcaemia. After vitamin D-therapy, the levels if IPTH returned to normal in 5 to 21 days in most cases. No obvious difference was noted in this evolution between children treated by vitamin D2 and 25 OH D. The excretion of urinary cyclic adenosine monophosphate decreases in parallel with blood IPTH.

[Comparative effects of couscous and pasta on glycemia in normal subjects and type I diabetics].

8 healthy subjects have eaten in the morning, after an overnight fast, in two separated occasions and in a randomised order 50 gr of CHO as pasta or couscous. Blood glucose after pasta ingestion was lower at 30 mn (p less than 0.05) at 45 mn (p less than 0.01) and at 60 mn (p less than 0.05). Area under the curve after pasta was significantly reduced (p less than 0.01). In a second time 6 IDDM patients have eaten in a randomised order a meal made of pasta with tomato sauce (P = 11%, F = 30%, G = 59%) or couscous with vegetables and sauce (P = 10%, F = 37%, G = 53%). Blood glucose after the pasta was lower than couscous at 90 mn (p less than 0.05) the area under the curve after the pasta ingestion was reduced of 38% but did'nt reach significance. In conclusion couscous has a higher glycemic effect than pasta although it has a similar composition. This phenomenon is still observed when the cereal products are mixed with other foods and ingested by IDDM patients.
