[Pathological modifications of the P wave due to probable primary changes in intra-atrial conduction].

Two cases of variable changes in ECG P oscillation not due, as is usually the case, to familiar cardiac or respiratory conditions suggested a review of the literature on the subject. It is concluded that these anomalies are the result of changes in the intra-atrial conduction of the stimulus through preferential ways or to aberrant atrial conduction. These are situations of no little practical interest because they may be precursors of major rhythm disturbances such as atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation.

[Echinococcal cysts of the adrenal glands. Review and diagnostic discussion].

Observation of an exceptional case of hydatid cyst of the suprarenal gland triggered an extensive review of the literature on the subject and an analysis of the disease from a historical-statistical, biological, aetiopathogenic, anatomopathological and clinical point of view. All these were analysed as an aid to diagnosis which is always difficult despite the many effective diagnostic tools now available. The difficulty derives essentially from the rarity of the condition and the fact that its clinical features often appear not to confirm or to underestimate the initial diagnostic suspicion.

[Neoplasia of the testis: surgical, radiological, and chemotherapeutic approach. Analysis and results of a retrospective study].

The Authors report the results of a retrospective study in patients with testicular cancer admitted to hospital between January 1979 and July 1991. A total of 59 cases of testicular cancer were treated: 42 seminomatous and 17 non-seminomatous. Radiotherapy was carried out with satisfactory results in patients with stage 1 and 2 seminoma (22 cases). A "wait and see" policy was adopted in 2 cases. The majority of non-seminomatous tumours underwent retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy followed by chemo- and/or radiotherapy (9 cases). Retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy plays a vital role in correct pathological staging and the evaluation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
