Gastro-cutaneous fistula following anterior gastropexy.
Two patients are described who developed a gastric fistula to the anterior abdominal wall following anterior gastropexy. Both fistulae closed spontaneously without any specific treatment. It is suggested that the fixation of the stomach to the anterior abdominal wall allows the fistula to discharge externally thus preventing peritoneal contamination with its serious consequences.

Atopic disorders and adult coeliac disease.
A history of asthma, hay fever, and flexural eczema was significantly more common in patients with adult coeliac disease (A.C.D.) than in normal controls. Autoantibodies were also more common in A.C.D. First-degree relatives of A.C.D. patients were more likely than controls to have atopic disorders. A deficiency of local mucosal immunity due to abnormal IgA responses may underly this association between A.C.D. and atopy.
