[Angiographic examinations of the stomach following Billroth II resections with special reference to the gastro-jejunostomy (author's transl)].

The arterial blood supply of the anastomosis in 6 stomach resected dogs (Billroth II) is examined by common angiographic technique in vivo, microangiography, and microscopy. In all animals there are at the site of the gastrojejunostomy bizarre tortuous vessels which cross the anastomosis. These arteries have a diameter between 50 to 2000 mu. They are newly formed vessels which cannot be demonstrated by common coeliaco- and mesentericography in animal experiments or in patients.

Critical remarks on external cephalic version under tocolysis. Report on a case of antepartum fetal death.

SALING and MULLER-HOLVE recently proposed an improved method of external cephalic version brought about a renewed interest in this obstetric procedure. In spite of the undisputed advantages in individual cases we posed the following questions: 1. The extent of the decreased cesaerean section rate 2. The fetal risk We estimate a decrease of cesarean sections by about 1.5% under the assumption that a breech presentation in primiparae is an indication of cesarean section and that 70% of the version attempts would be successful. The estimate includes some cases of multi-parae breech presentations which would have been operated without external version. The resulting decrease of the cesarean section rate is generally not very important and has a greater impact only in individual cases. We have some misgivings about the fetal risk. We report here on a case of intrauterine fetal death after failed external version. A 28 year-old primiparae without known pregnancy complications was admitted with a breech presentation in the 37th week of gestation. The biparietal diameter of the fetal head was appropriate and the placenta was posterior. Cardiotocogram before and after the unsuccessful version were in part misinterpreted. Seven hours after the version the fetal death was confirmed. Histological examination of the placenta showed a severe dissociated maturation disturbance in addition to a 10 X 8 cm large abruptio which had not been noted clinically. A prediabetes was suspected. The fetus itself showed no anomalies. This was interpreted as a severely placentogenically prestressed infant and prediabetes. The extent of the placental disturbance was unknown and had not been appreciated from the ultrasound examination. The placenta had acute infarcts and a circumscript abruption. The CTG was misinterpreted in part. In another case of version the postoperative cardiotocogram showed pathologic patterns. The birth occurred three weeks later without problems with a well child and an umbilical artery pH of 7.31...

"Doughnut" sign in brain scanning.

The significance of the "doughnut" sign at present is relegated to characterizing the morphology of a lesion. The use of the "doughnut" sign in differential diagnosis should not be attempted except in specific clinical contexts, and never excluding other evidence. The "doughnut" sign in scanning together with other studies such as angiography and computerized axial tomography gives additional characterizing data in the neuroradiologic evaluation of a patient.

An approach to the rehabilitation of the injured.

Accidents and injuries account for an increasing number of patients admitted to hospitals throughout Papua New Guinea. The growing importance of this problem is stressed. The approach taken to treat injuries of the musculo-skeletal system at the Angau Memorial Hospital, Lae, is outlined with special emphasis on patient rehabilitation. Tables illustrating the relative frequency of fractures, the average period of incapacity following selected fractures and the prognosis of spinal cord injuries are included. It is emphasised that, provided an enthusiastic, knowledgable and co-operative approach is taken towards the treatment and rehabilitation of spinal cord and head injuries, the ultimate outlook can be greatly improved and a more optimistic outlook for these patients is justified.
