Thoracic actinomycosis.

Thoracic actinomycosis represents about one-fourth of all cases of the disease. Isolated pleural effusion due to Actinomycosis is rare. We report a case of right sided pleural effusion with discharging sinus in the right anterior chest wall. Actinomycosis was suspected and confirmed by microscopic identification of "sulfur granules" in the discharge of the sinus tract and also identification of gram-positive filamentous bacteria in the specimen of discharging sinus. The patient improved clinically and radiologically after treatment with intravenous penicillin G followed by oral penicillin and aspiration of pleural fluid.

Blood hormone levels in egyptian women on norethisterone oenanthate.

Ten Egyptian women who were using the injectable contraceptive norethisterone oenanthate (NET-OEN) for at least 6 months were monitored weekly for a period of 12 weeks by measuring 3 pituitary hormones (FSH, LH and prolactin) and 2 ovarian hormones (oestradiol 17-B and progesterone). It was concluded that NET-OEN is a strong ovulation inhibitor, at least after its use for 6 months. Prolactin levels were depressed and this is in contradiction with the findings in rats.

Serum phospholipid fractionation after the use of long-acting progestational contraceptives.

The effect of the two long-acting progestational contraceptive injection, depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) and norethisterone onenathate (NET-OEN), on blood phospholipid fractions were studied in eighteen women. The post-injection results showed a significant increase in total serum phospholipids, serum lecithin and serum cephalins. Serum lysolecithin was significantly decreased while serum sphingomyelin showed no significant change. The mechanisms responsible for these phospholipid changes remain somewhat unclear. However deranged liver function may share in its explanation.
