Intrahepatic gallstones. A case report.

A Coloured woman was admitted to hospital with a 3-day history of acute right upper abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Acute cholecystitis was confirmed by biliary imaging using technetium-99m. An acutely inflamed gallbladder and two pigment stones in the common bile duct were removed. There were numerous retained gallstones in biliary radicles of the right hepatic duct; attempts to dislodge these by saline flushing failed. An extended choledochotomy with further exploration of the intrahepatic radicles also failed to remove the incarcerated stones. Biliary enteric drainage was achieved by choledochoduodenostomy and short-term postoperative progress was uneventful.

An unusual presentation of carcinoma of the colon in a child. A case report.

A patient with carcinoma of the large bowel who presented with a subphrenic abscess is reported. This case emphasizes two important facts relating to colonic cancer in childhood: (i) premalignant disease of the large bowel is no prerequisite for the development of colonic cancer; and (ii) in childhood this disease is characterized by a fulminating course and high mortality. In about 50% of cases the tumour is of the signet ring or mucin-producing type, which explains the grave prognosis.

Acute pancreatitis and Cushing's syndrome.

A case of acute necrotizing pancreatitis in a 53-year-old man with an ectopic adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH) producing bronchial carcinoma is described. The aetiology of acute pancreatitis in relation to steroid therapy and malignancy is discussed and it is suggested that excess endogenous steroid production may also cause acute pancreatitis.

A new rapid differentiating solubility test for hemoglobin S.

A new test for sickling hemoglobin, SickleQuikTM, has been developed which has definitive advantages over existing turbidity tests. This test utilizes a biphasic liquid reagent system provided in individualized, ready-to-use reaction tubes which are stable at room temperature. The test differentiates homozygous from heterozygous S samples in less than eight minutes. Results are based on the color of a layer formed at the organic-aqueous interface and the color of the lower aqueous phase. Of more than 900 samples tested in independent laboratories, no false positive or false negative results occurred.
