[Ascites and carcinoma of the endometrium].

The authors exopound three cases of women affected by endometrial carcinoma in which the ascithis has represented the first clinic manifestation in absence of metrorrhage (first two cases); in the third case, instead, the ascithis has appeared four years after the surgical operation of total laparohysterectomy with bilateral annexiectomy and telecobaltotherapy. The association of the malign ascithis with endometrial adenocarcinoma is of rare observation. The Authors think very likely that the intraperitoneal semination in the cases they examined, is due to the infiltration of the myometry, of the regional and iuxtaregional lymphonoids with formation of ascithis.

Assessment of autonomic functions in insulin-dependent diabetic children and adolescents.

Autonomic function has been studied in 30 insulin-dependent diabetic children and adolescents, through five cardiovascular tests. A significant difference between the diabetic and the control subjects was found in heart rate variations after deep breathing and after standing. Fifty percent of our patients showed an altered response to one or more cardiovascular tests. Although clinical manifestations of autonomic dysfunction are not frequent in young insulin-dependent patients, early signs of functional alterations are detectable in a high percentage of them.

Platelet transfusion in a patient affected by Glanzmann's thrombasthenia with antibodies against GPIIb-IIIa.

Patients affected by Glanzmann's thrombasthenia often require blood and platelet transfusions due to bleeding. They may develop antibodies against platelet antigens and become refractory to platelet transfusions. In this study we present our approach to platelet transfusion in a thrombasthenic patient with platelet antibodies directed against gpIIb/IIIa. We found that platelets from two HPA1b/b donors were weakly positive when matched with the patient's serum. The patient was submitted to dental surgery and platelets were transfused before and after surgery to prevent bleeding. The patient did not experience transfusion reaction and good platelet recovery was observed.
