Pulmonary hypertension and persistent fetal circulation in the newborn.

Despite these infants' very significant medical instabilities, which require vigorous therapeutic intervention, we have seen a population of infants with little in the way of persistent residual problems. Although many of their pulmonary complications persist after hospital discharge, most resolve within the first year of life. In addition, there are few neurodevelopmental disabilities encountered in such a high-risk population of children.

Pituitary ablation for diabetic retinopathy.

Pituitary ablation was performed on 26 patients with advanced diabetic retinopathy by pituitary stalk section (nine patients) or transphenoidal hypophysectomy (17 patients). After a latent period varying from six to 12 months, retinal hemorrhages disappeared, vitreous hemorrhages stopped and new vessels regressed. Eight of 10 patients followed up for more than a year had a complete remission, although in one of two patients whose ablation was incomplete the retinopathy remained active. Preoperative visual acuity levels were preserved in 47 of 50 eyes of patients followed up for a mean period of 12 months. Three patients have died, two from causes related to their operation. Twenty of the survivors have continued in their usual occupation. Pituitary ablation is effective in preventing the progressive visual deterioration usually associated with advanced diabetic retinopathy.
