Does MURCS association represent an actual nonrandom complex of malformations?

The MURCS association was first suggested by Duncan in 1979 as a distinctive nonrandom association of congenital anomalies involving the Mullerian duct, the kidneys and the cervicothoracic spine. Two personal cases, highly resembling Duncan's description, are reported. In our opinion, they seem to support somehow the hypothesis that MURCS association should be considered as an autonomous pathological entity. The great phenotypical variability and the still unknown etiopathogenetic mechanism are particularly stressed.

An unusual kind of muscular and skeletal involvement in a heroin addict. A case report.

After a brief review of the infectious complications that frequently occur in heroin users, the authors report a case of chronic osteomyelitis affecting the ulnar diaphysis bilaterally. Musculo-cutaneous dystrophic lesions were also present and resulted in forced flexion of the distal phalanges of fingers 2-5. The most likely pathogenetic development discussed.

Skeletal changes in preterm infants: personal experience.

The incidence of skeletal changes in preterm low-birth-weight infants is rising. This is probably related to today's higher survival rate of these babies. The late positivity of biochemical data and the lack of clinical prognostic signs justify the role of radiology in such pathology. Radiology, however, although useful in detecting rachitic changes, seems to be less sensitive to minimal osteoporotic modifications, for which densitometric studies should be preferred. The authors report their personal experience in 8 cases of skeletal pathology in preterm infants and suggest a radiological follow-up of the skeleton from the 5th to the 12th week of life, whenever a densitometric method is not available.

Role of telethermography and arthrography in rheumatoid wrist.

After briefly reviewing some of the problems relating to an early identification of synovial pathology, the authors have pointed out the actual role of telethermography and arthrography, resulting from their diagnostic experience. The two techniques were applied to a group of 40 patients affected with rheumatoid arthritis and were found to be particularly helpful: (i) either providing quite early information (telethermography); or (ii) allowing an exact topographic definition of synovial and tendinous sheath involvement (opaque arthrography), or eventually (iii) supplying a manageable means to follow their development with.

Renal vein thrombosis and adrenal hemorrhage in the newborn: ultrasound evaluation of 4 cases.

Renal vein thrombosis and adrenal hemorrhage can both be encountered in the neonatal period and they may occur at the same time. Inferior vena cava thrombosis can complicate some cases. These diseases can be easily diagnosed by means of ultrasound. The authors present 4 cases in which newborns were affected by renal vein thrombosis associated with adrenal hemorrhage and caval thrombosis, evaluated by means of ultrasound. The echographic aspect of renal, adrenal and caval involvement is described.

Pancreatic cystosis in cystic fibrosis: case report.

We describe a 19-year-old cystic fibrosis patient, with pancreatic insufficiency since the age of 4 who presented at the age of 13 with postprandial abdominal pain. Ultrasonography and computed tomography showed several pancreatic cysts that progressively increased in diameter over 6 years. The lack of association with clinical and biochemical signs of acute pancreatitis is highlighted.
