[Interest and limits of beta blocking drugs for preparing Grave's disease to sub-total thyroidectomy (author's transl)].

The use of beta blocking drugs as a preparation to the sub-total thyroidectomy in Graves's disease allows to shorten the pre-operation time. However, besides the observance of classical contraindications, it requires that patient who remain hyperthyroid are closely looked after. Within these limits, it seems to be quite useful for patients who need to quickly come back to euthyroid status.

[Mesenchymal tumor associated with hypoglycemia and an elevated NSILP (author's transl)].

An unusually located mesenchymal tumor with hypoglycemia is observed. Insulin, cortisol, growth hormone, glucagon levels are within the normals. The glucogenic aminoacids have also been measured, as well as the NSILP which was three times as high as the upper limit of normal values. The various processes which might have brought about the patient's hypoglycemia are discussed.
