[Home care of patients with advanced terminal cancer who had improved QOL after undergoing gastrostomy for gastrointestinal obstruction caused by peritonitis carcinomatosa].

Patients with gastrointestinal obstruction caused by peritonitis carcinomatosa suffer from chronic nausea, abdominal distension and inability to ingest food. Patients can receive home care only in rare cases. We performed a gastrostomy for the purpose of reducing gastrointestinal pressure in three patients with gastrointestinal obstruction caused by peritonitis carcinomatosa. The three patients had decreased mental and physical suffering and were able to be discharged from the hospital. We report the efficacy of gastrostomy because of the improvements in the three patients QOL at home.

Three cases with light-induced retinopathy.

Three patients presented a characteristic retinopathy presumably induced by light arising from operating microscope during extracapsular cataract extraction combined with intraocular lens insertion. The operating microscope was equipped with video-recorder. Light sources were tungsten bulb. All cases were asymptomatic and an inspection at the post-operative control examination led to the detection of this type of retinopathy.

[T-lymphocyte subsets in 20 cases of uveitis of various type].

Lymphocyte T subsets are determined by system OKT in 20 patients with various types of uveitis (Behçet disease 8, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease 5, anterior uveitis 4, Kirisawa type uveitis 1, uveitis associated with Psoriasis vulgaris 1, undetermined type uveitis 1). Augmentation of OKT 8+ (p less than 0.05) associated with reduction of OKT 4+/OKT 8+ was found as compared with normal individuals. Diminution of OKT 4+/OKT 8+ (p less than 0.05) was noted in 5 patients with Behçet disease in association with augmentation of OKT 8+ (p less than 0.005). In Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease there is augmentation of OKT 8+ (p less than 0.05) which is, however, not so marked as in Behçet disease. On the contrary anterior uveitis was characterized by a remarkable rise in OKT 4+/OKT 8+.
