An unusual case of pneumopericardium is described. It is due to a fistulous communication between the small bowel and pericardium. 4 years previously a gastro-jejunostomy was performed, and now a peptic ulcer in the jejunum had developed with abscess formation, thus giving rise to a fistulous communication between intestine and pericardium. The cause, symptoms and diagnostic procedures are described.
In measurements of the metacarpal bone mass the values in normal Danish adults did not differ between the right and left hand, but were significantly higher in women compared with men in subjects 20-59 years of age; beyond that age the bone mass decrease in women compared with men. The metacarpal bone mass decreased significantly during the period of dialysis in patients on chronic hemodialysis and decreased significantly after renal transplantation. Recipients who developed necrosis of bone or spontaneous fractures after transplantation had significantly reduced metacarpal bone mass at the time of transplantation as compared with normal controls whereas recipients without bone lesions after renal transplantation had normal values at the time of transplantation.
The main types of heart positions and the malpositions are described as demonstrated on plain films of the thorax. Special attention is drawn to the situs ambi -- guous with the poly -- or asplenia which may be recognized from hypoarterial or epiarterial position of the main bronchi and their equal lengths and courses. This diagnosis is important because of the frequent accompanying congenital cardiac malformations and in respect to the planning of angiocardiography.
