An evaluation of the local effects of triamcinolone acetonide on normal soft tissues in monkey digits.
The lack of quantitative information on the observed effects after subcutaneous injections of triamcinolone prompted a double blind, prospective study of the drug's effects. The results demonstrate that there are gross losses in the subcutaneous fat. No significant quantitative differences were observed in the collagen content (microscopic or biochemical) in these monkey digits.

Goblet cell carcinoid of the appendix. An ultrastructural and histochemical study.
In a patient with a goblet cell carcinoid tumor of the appendix, light and electron microscopical studies demonstrated mucinous material and enterochromaffin granules within the same cell. Transitions between cells containing primarily mucin and cells containing numerous argentaffin granules were observed. Fluorescence studies demonstrated that the tumor cells contain biogenic amines.
Themes of grief.
A thematic analysis of 30 narrative accounts of bereavement revealed nine themes that included five core themes in bereavement--being stopped, hurting, missing, holding, and seeking; three meta-themes about bereavement--change, expectations, and inexpressibility; and a contextual theme--personal history. The themes were compared with three theoretical perspectives on bereavement by Freud, Kübler-Ross, and one defined as existential-phenomenological. Features of bereavement that are dissimilar or unaddressed by the theoretical perspectives were: (a) the quality of grief's changing character, including "waves" and intense pain which may be triggered years after the death; (b) holding, an individual process of preserving the fact and meaning of the loved one's existence; (c) expectations, both social and personal, as to how the bereaved should be overlaying the experience; and (d) the critical importance of personal history in affecting the quality and meaning of individual bereavement.
Acute-phase, indirect fluorescent antibody procedure for diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.
An indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) technique was developed to detect IgG and IgM-specific antibodies to Mycoplasma pneumoniae. The presence of IgM-specific mycoplasma antibody was interpreted as reflecting active infection in patients with atypical pneumonia or other clinically compatible illness. The procedure is suitable for use in routine clinical laboratories, correlated well with complement fixation test results and did not show cross reaction with Legionella pneumophila antibody. The ready availability of an acute-phase procedure for diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection permits therapeutic judgments based on testing of the acute serum sample.
Aorto-enteric fistula presenting as multicentric osteomyelitis.
A 60-year-old man treated with a prothesis for aorto-enteric fistulae developed multicentric osteomyelitis. Enteric flora were cultured from blood and bone but the diagnosis was delayed. Aorto-enteric fistulae can occur in a variety of circumstances but have become more common with the advent of reconstructive vascular surgery using prostheses. This entity frequently does not present in a dramatic way, but can be the cause of fatal bacteremia and septicemia.
