Abstract

Within the last decade, induction of ovulation with gonadotrophins, specially for patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, has been extensively revisited. On the basis of physiological concepts as the FSH threshold, the FSH window and the hypersensitivity to FSH of selected dominant follicle, news protocols have been described: step-up protocol, step-down, sequential protocol. In this article, their efficacy and safety are discussed. It is presumed that these new protocols would open a new way in the management of ovulation induction.

Frostbite: pathogenesis and treatment.

Frostbite, once almost exclusively a military problem, is becoming more prevalent among the general population and should now be considered to be within the scope of the civilian physician's practice. Studies into the epidemiology of civilian frostbite have identified several risk factors that may aid the clinician in the diagnosis and management of cold injuries. Research into the pathophysiology has revealed marked similarities in inflammatory processes to those seen in thermal burns and ischemia/reperfusion injury. Evidence of the role of thromboxanes and prostaglandins has resulted in more active approaches to the medical treatment of frostbite wounds. Although the surgical management of frostbite involves delayed debridement 1 to 3 months after demarcation, recent improvements in radiologic assessment of tissue viability have led to the possibility of earlier surgical intervention. In addition, several adjunctive therapies, including vasodilators, thrombolysis, hyperbaric oxygen, and sympathectomy, are discussed.

Protocols for the examination of tumors of diverse sites: introduction. Cancer committee of the College of American Pathologists.

This issue of the Archives includes previously unpublished protocols for the examination of specimens removed from patients with cancer of diverse sites. We provide a historical context for the development of these protocols and describe the process of development and approval. General information about the structure and content of the protocols is also provided. Cancer protocol development is an important step in the process of standardized cancer reporting. The value of such standardized reporting is discussed.

Long-term experience with salvage of infected penile implants.

PURPOSE: The effectiveness of treating patients with an infected penile implant by removing the device, cleansing the wound with a series of antiseptic solutions and placing a new device at the same procedure was assessed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 65 patients were included in the study. All foreign material was removed from the infected wound followed by copious wound irrigations with a protocol of 7 antibacterial solutions. A new prosthesis was inserted and the patient was placed on antibiotics. RESULTS: Followup ranged from 6 to 93 months. Recent status was determined in 85% of cases (55 of 65). Of the 55 patients 45 (82%) showed no sign of infection. In 5 patients recurrent infection was documented and in 5 others erosion of parts to the exterior possibly related to infection was noted. CONCLUSIONS: Salvage of an infected penile implant has been successful and is gaining in popularity among urologists to reduce morbidity associated with infection.
