[Prognostic value of echography in threatened abortion].

After a short description of the most important echographic pictures for diagnosis of spontaneous abortion in the first trimester, the clinical development in 89 patients with threatened abortion symptoms, is examined. The interruption of pregnancy has been predicted in 97,05% of the cases resulted in abortion and normal prosecution of pregnancy in 98,18% with regular outcome. These results are very reassuring and no doubt more reliable than pregnancy-test, which for its prompt applicability, may be compared with echographic examination.

Clinical evaluation of a new measles-mumps-rubella trivalent vaccine.

In a series of clinical studies of a combined measles (Schwarz strain), mumps (Jeryl Lynn strain), and rubella (Cendehill strain) vaccine, 1,481 children received the vaccine or a placebo. The vaccine did not cause any significant reactions. The frequencies of mild, transient fever or rash or both in triple-susceptible vaccinees were similar to those that follow use of Schwarz strain measles vaccine alone. Measles, mumps, and rubella seroconversion rates in triple-susceptible vaccinees ranged from 95% to 100%. Geometric mean antibody titers were as high as those that usually result from use of these same virus strains as monovalent vaccines.

[Clinical and instrumental study of familial congenital myasthenia].

Congenital familial myasthenia occurred in two male brothers, born from non affected mother. The diagnosis was based on anamnestic and clinical data, on electromyographic features, and on the effect of specific therapy. The differential diagnosis and the classification of congenital familial myasthenia are discussed. This type of disease represent 1% of all cases of myasthenia, but--excluding the "transferred" myasthenia to the newborn by affected mother--the percentage raises to 3--4%. The possibility of identifying two distinct formes of familial myasthenia is emphasized, the first with "early onset" where the symptoms become evident before two years of age, the second "late onset" clinically evident later in life seems doubtful that the two forms of the disease might be due to the same underlying pathological condition.
