Five-year follow-up evaluation of the noncemented press-fit titanium hip-joint endoprosthesis.

A series of 260 noncemented total hip arthroplasties with a titanium alloy stem and fixation by the Zweymüller press-fit and an Endler polyethylene threaded cup was reviewed in detail. The minimum follow-up period was 48 months and the maximum 72 months, with an average of 60 months. A scale from zero to five points was applied to evaluate pain, mobility, and motion for a total possible accumulation of 15 points. The global results of the different etiologic groups (arthrosis, femoral head necrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and subcapital hip fractures) have been very good and good (12-15 points) in 67.5% of the cases and fairly good and bad in 32.3%. These results have been better in femoral head necrosis than in arthrosis or rheumatoid arthritis, but not as good in subcapital hip fractures. The age groups below 60 had better results than the above 60 groups. The Singh index higher than 3 was correlated with better-than-average results. The polyethylene cup migrated horizontally (more than 4 mm) in 7.6% of the cases and vertically (more than 5 mm) in 10%. The non-evolutionary cortical remodelation of the femur does not influence the results. Prosthetic stem sinking less than 4 mm has been found in 62% of the cases, from 4 to 9 mm in 21%, and greater than 9 mm in 6%. No alterations with clinical consequences attributable to stress-shielding have been detected.

Adult↗

[Gianotti-Crosti syndrome in an adult].

A 31 years old woman had an exanthematic eruption of small and acral distributed papules. At the same time she suffered a clinical and biological hepatitis B. This case is described attending to the clinic, histopathology and direct immunofluorescence. By the way the Gianotti-Crosti syndrome is reviewed.

Onychopathy in a patient with fetal hydantoin syndrome.

Hydantoin is an anticonvulsant drug with several side effects. A teratogenic potential has been suggested. The fetal hydantoin syndrome is an entity that consists of a broad range of morphologic and developmental disorders in children born of epileptic mothers exposed to hydantoin during pregnancy. We treated a girl in whom onychopathy was a monosymptomatic or mild form of this syndrome.

Epilepsy↗

[Carcinoma of the sebaceous glands].

A case of sebaceous gland carcinoma is reported. The patient, a woman aged 70, presented the lesion at the age of 17; it was destroyed by electrocoagulation, but recurred and was excised when she was 70. Histology showed a sebaceous gland carcinoma. No metastasis occurred in the long term evolution.

Adenocarcinoma↗

[Adquired epidermolysis bullosa. Immunopathological and ultrastructural studies].

A case of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) in a 64 year old man is reported. The direct immunofluorescence showed a positive lineal anti IgG basement membrane on the affected skin (blisters and provocation tests) and on the univolved healthy skin. The electron microscopic studies showed a "dermolysis". In this patient it was not possible to find any pathological association. The EBA is usually associated with different processus but, sometimes, it could be isolated. Probably this clinicopathological field includes diverse badly delimited entities.

Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma: report of three patients.

Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma is a rare, benign entity. The histologic features include proliferation of eccrine sweat glands and angiomatous capillary channels. We report three children who each had a single lesion on a limb. These lesions were clinically angiomatous, and we obtained the diagnosis by histologic and immunohistochemical studies.
