Biplane measurement of mitral valve orifice size by two-dimensional echocardiography.

We used a new method of imaging the mitral valve orifice in two planes to assess 187 cases of mitral stenosis. By ensuring that the diastolic antero-posterior diameter of the mitral valve orifice in the short-axis view was the same as that obtained in the long-axis view, imaging of the true mitral valve orifice could be confirmed in 173 cases. This objective method proved to be accurate and could eliminate observer variation noted in other methods of current usage.

Atrial septal motion in obligatory right to left shunt.

An adult patient with a hypoplastic right heart with intact ventricular septum, pulmonary atresia, secundum ASD and a PDA was studied by 2-D echocardiography. A striking flap valve motion of the primum portion of the interatrial septum was observed. This is perhaps the first report of its kind in an adult.

Study of the efficacy of compound Go.9333 (Ciba-Geigy) in hookworm infestation.

50 cases with hookworm infestation were studied to find out the species of the parasite, 25 of them were included for a double-blind trial of compound Go.9333 (Ciba-Geigy)/placebo. Results of the study revealed predominance of Necator americanus (96%) in and around Pondicherry, South India. Compound Go.9333 was found to very effective in the treatment of hookworm infestation. Side effects were minor and were not of much significance. The drug was well accepted and tolerated by most of the cases. On the basis of the present study, compound Go.9333 can be recommended for the treatment of hookworm infestation.
