[A case of staphylococcal spondylodiscitis after spinal injury. Post-traumatic spondylodiscitis?].

The authors report the case of a patient who had a D9-D10 staphylococcic spondylodiscitis three month after a fracture of the first lumbar vertebra, which they consider to be posttraumatic despite the fact that it is localised in a different area. They insist on the insufficiency of the literature existing on such cases and on the various pathogenic hypotheses to be applied by the practitionner.

[Thrombocytosis and cancer. Apropos of a chronological series of 100 patients].

The authors report a personal chronological series of 100 cancer patients submitted to an analytical study, and noted thrombocytosis in 18% of cases. They attempt to draw up a correlation between the presence of increased platelets, and the site of the primary tumour, its spread, the state of anemia or iron deficiency in these patients. During a general review of the literature, they compare their results with those of various american and german series and report the various pathogenic hypotheses suggested upto date. They emphasise the fact that routine platelet counts may be of great interest in the detection of certain early carcinomas in spite of the generally moderate levels of thrombocytosis observed. They therefore have a place in routine health checks.

[Beta blockaders and general pathology].

The authors review the literature on the undesirable side effects of beta blockaders (excluding the cardiovascular system) and report the new therapeutic propects in psychiatry and in various metabolic disorders. The necessity of sufficient follow up made us choose propanolol as reference product without neglecting acebutolol, pindolol and oxprenolol.

[Rheumatoid arthritis and trauma. 5 cases].

The authors report 5 cases of post-traumatic rheumatoid polyarthritis. After the traumatism had initiated the first stages of ordinary inflammation, chain reactions, perhaps by means of an "immune" field, intervened to transform it into a self-maintained rheumatoid inflammation. In fact, the etiopathogenic problems of post-traumatic rheumatoid polyarthritis have not yet been elucidated and it cannot be said either that the question of legal compensation for it is any nearer solution. The growing importance of traumatisms in everyday life and of compensation for them, and the gravity of the condition and its disabling sequelae require that great caution should be exercised in the search for criteria for attributing the disease to the traumatism: the almost indefinite evolution of the disease with time makes the choice of the consolidation date arbitrary.

[Thrombocytosis and primary bronchial carcinoma. Study about 164 patients with bronchial carcinoma (author's transl)].

This paper is relating the study of 164 patients with primary and proved bronchial carcinoma. A thrombocytosis superior to 400,000/mm3 was observed in 36.6 p. cent of cases. But no statistic relation was found between the histological type of tumor, a biological inflammatory state, the existence of metastasis and thrombocytosis. However thrombocytosis was more frequently observed among anaemic and hyposideremic patients. No significantly changes of paO2 and paCO2 were noted in patients with thrombocytosis. The systematic platelet count could be of an interest in the interpretation of some thoracic radiography.

[Thrombocytosis: general frequency and etiological circumstances (author's transl)].

During a period of five years, fifteen thousand platelet counts has been systematically realised at the Hôtel-Dieu Hospital in Marseilles. A thrombocytosis superior to 400 000/mm3 has been observed in 1,2% of cases, in such various etiological cases as mainly cancer (30%), infectious diseases (28%) and post-hemorragic anaemias (11%).
