The relation of stimulated salivary flow rate and pH to Lactobacillus and yeast concentrations in saliva.

This study demonstrates that the presence of yeast, but not lactobacillus infection, is related to salivary flow rate. Salivary pH is correlated with the primary infection of both lactobacilli and yeasts. The low output of saliva appears to influence the quantity of lactobacilli more than that of yeasts. The flow rate was lower and the presence of yeasts was higher in females than in males.

Duplicate exstrophy of the bladder.

Duplicate exstrophy is a very rare variant of the exstrophy complex. Treatment is gratifying, because the patients have normal internal urogenital structures. Two different cases of duplicate exstrophy are presented. One is completely similar to the type, described by Marshall and Muecke, of which now 9 cases have been reported. It is suggested that the other, together with 4 earlier reported cases, belongs to a different type of duplicate exstrophy. The embryological mechanism responsible for this type is probably a coincidence of 1) duplication of cloacal structures and 2) exstrophy of one of the bladders.
