Intrabronchial metastases from renal carcinoma with recurrent tumour expectoration.

Three patients are described who presented to their doctors with a history of coughing up pieces of tissue. These took the form of large bronchial casts and consisted of intrabronchial deposits of clear cell carcinoma. In one patient the pulmonary symptoms preceded the finding of a primary renal carcinoma by four years. The other two patients had undergone nephrectomy for renal carcinoma 13 and four years previously. Expectoration of intrabronchial tumour should alert the physician to the possibility of metastasis from clear cell carcinoma of the kidney.

A comparison of ampicillin and amoxycillin in acute on chronic bronchitis.

Twenty-five patients with an acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis completed a double-blind trial of amoxycillin 1.5 g v ampicillin 4 g daily. After treatment for one week there was no difference between the treatments in the rates of achieving mucoid sputum, reduction in sputum volume, improvement in peak expiratory flow rate, or duration of hospital stay. In the doses studied ampicillin and amoxycillin are effective drugs of about equal cost.

Fenoterol in asthma.

Fenoterol is a beta 2-sympathomimetic bronchodilator. In a double-blind cross-over trial in 17 asthmatic patients with reversible airway obstruction inhalation of both fenoterol (0.4 mg) and terbutaline (0.5 mg) produced a statistically significant greater increase in peak expiratory flow rate than did placebo. The magnitude and duration of response to fenoterol exceeded that to terbutaline in the doses used. The patients' subjective assessment also suggested the relief of their symptoms with the active drugs. Side effects were minimal.

Persistent asthma after treatment with beta-blocking agents.

Two atopic subjects with previously trivial asthma developed severe wheezing after receiving beta-adrenergic blocking agents. These drugs were discontinued but severe airways obstruction was still present more than 18 months later.
