Evaluation of common bile duct diameter using high resolution computed tomography.
The visibility rate and mean diameter of the common bile duct (CBD) were determined in 172 patients scanned with a routine abdominal technique on a GE CT/T 9800. Ninety-two (53%) had visible CBDs with the mean diameter measuring 5.3 mm. The visibility rate varied from 45 to 66% in healthy and ill patients, although the CBD diameters were similar (4.5 and 5.1 mm). The CBD was visualized more often in patients after cholecystectomy (87%), and the mean diameter was larger (8.2 mm). Using high resolution CT it seemed that the CBD could be demonstrated more frequently than the previously reported 30%.

Urinary uric acid excretion in patients with carcinoma of the cervix undergoing intracavitary radium therapy.
An attempt is made here to determine the pattern of urinary uric acid excretion in patients with carcinoma of the cervix undergoing intracavitary radium therapy. Eight patients from the Philippine General Hospital were studied using 24-hour urine collection method to study the uric acid level. Result showed a proportionate increased in uric acid excretion with increasing dose of radiation up to 4,800-5,400 rads, after which, uric acid excretion produced an unexpected downtrend even with continued radiation. Maximum uric acid excretion ranged from 680-1,500 mg% with a mean of 1,005 +/- 100 mg%.

Gelatin gel beads as an embolic agent.
Gelatin gel beads (GGB) is a compound of a long-chain polypeptide cross-linked with glutaraldehyde. It has been produced exclusively for embolic purposes. The object of the tests reported here was to determine the efficacy of GGB as an embolic agent in dogs as initial studies with rats had shown no acute toxic reaction. Eight dogs were used as subjects. Transcatheter embolization of one kidney in each animal was performed with a suspension of 500 mg of GGB and contrast material. The embolized kidneys were re-examined after one to five weeks. Embolized vessels remained occluded up to five weeks after the procedure. There was mild granulomatous reaction which started to organize at about the third week. The availability of GGB in various sizes when mixed in an isotonic solution makes it unique when compared with other forms of embolic agents. As this agent has now been shown to be a safe and reliable agent in dogs, it can now be used for testing in human subjects.
