Primary neoplasm in vesical diverticulum: comparison of four imaging methods.

In presenting the case of a 61-year-old man with a primary squamous carcinoma in a bladder diverticulum, the authors stress the usefulness of applying all the available modalities of imaging, since it has been found that a bladder diverticulum may harbor a neoplasm more often than a normal bladder.

[Mitral valve replacement in children and in adolescents. Surgical indication and long-term results in 86 cases].

1. The authors present 86 children and adolescents with rheumatic heart disease of the Pediatric Cardiology Service of the Instituto Nacional de Cardiologia who received valve replacements in the period between September, 1964 and April, 1973, a series which is more numerous and of longer follow-up than any published up to the present 2. In order to obtain comparable results, patients with mitral heart disease of other origen and aortic replacement as well as those subjected to double or triple exchange, were omitted from the study. 3. The symptomatology, the presence of compensated heart failure, the progression of cardiomegaly, the radiologic and electrocardiographic changes, the presence of atrial fibrillation, the mean venocapilary, pulmonary arter, and left right ventricle telediastolic pressures, the pulmonary resistence figures and the results of cineangiocardiography were the fundamental elements used to establish the surgical indication. 4. None were operated with clinic or laboratory data suggesting rheumatic activability. The shortest period between the last bout of rheumatic fever and surgery was 10 months. 5. The clinic improvement was remarkable. Half of the cases receiving digitalis and diuretics were released without this prescription and only 10% continue to take digitalis. With the exception of five patients, the physical capacity is normal and most play sports. The postoperatory radiologic and electrocardiographic changes were remarkable, most were obtained a few months after surgery. With the exception of one case, atrial fibrillation disappeared (in 58% before six months in a group of 31 patients). 6. The later complications attributed to the valve replacement as well as the 15 deaths in the total lot were analyzed. It was pointed out that the hospital death rate was 12.6% and the later was 5.3%, extraordinarily low figures if it is taken into account that the material corresponds to nine years of work and the problems inherent to the initial period are included. It gains still greater importance if compared to the series published up to the date. The global mortality rate of 17.9% is small in relation to the only comparable publication, -30 and if only the results of the last three years are compiled (61 cases equals 70 of the series), the global death rate was 9.8%. 7. It was noted that the results are due to the system adopted for establishing the surgical indication, to the good state of the myocardial fiber...

[Effects on the newborn infant of thiopental and propofol used in anesthetic induction in cesarean section].

OBJECTIVES: To compare the effects of an anesthetic induction dose of thiopental to that of propofol on the vitality of the neonate, as measured by Apgar score and the interval between extraction of the newborn and unassisted respiration. PATIENTS AND METHODS: One hundred ASA I-II women undergoing cesarean section were randomly assigned to two groups of 50. Anesthesia was induced with thiopental 4 mg/kg in one group; in the other group, propofol 2 mg/kg was used. Time intervals recorded were induction-to-extraction, uterine incision-to-extraction and extraction-to-unassisted respiration. An Apgar score was recorded 1, 5 and 10 min after birth. For statistical analysis, each group was divided into three subgroups, in accordance with the reason for performing the cesarean section: subgroup 1, elective cesarean; subgroup 2, emergency cesarean due to dystocia or failure; subgroup 3, emergency cesarean section due to acute fetal distress. RESULTS: Means of intervals for induction-extraction and uterine incision-extraction showed no significant differences. All induction-extraction intervals were under 10 min (4.94 +/- 1.55 min) and all uterine incision-extraction intervals were under 180 sec, with most staying under 90 sec (43.13 +/- 25.76 sec). No statistically significant differences were found for vitality between the two groups of neonates. CONCLUSIONS: If the induction-extraction interval is 10 min or less, both thiopental (4 mg/kg) and propofol (2 mg/kg) given in a single dose for induction of general anesthesia in all types of cesarean section are equally safe for the newborn infant.

[Recurrence of meningoencephalitis induced by cotrimoxazole].

Although infrequent, one of the etiological causes of aseptic meningoencephalitis is drug-induced. In our patient, two cases of meningocephalitis took place over a period of six years, together with a meningismus following consumption of trimetroprim-sulphametoxazol (cotrimoxazol). Features of the cases were mental confusion, fever, alterations in the CSF and a benign clinical course, with a high degree of doubt regarding diagnosis, given the similarity of anomalies in the CSF to those present in partially treated bacterian meningitis.
