[Peripartum cardiomyopathy (author's transl)].

Three cases of peripartum cardiomyopathy (CMP PP) are presented. In our opinion this term is more correct than post-partum cardiomyopathy. The study was performed both clinically and hemodynamically; patients were followed up for a long period (in one case up to 14 years). Although there were consistent differences in the rise and development of the disease, the clinical and laboratory results could be put together clearly. In the light of this clinical experience, a wide revision of the literature on the topic was carried out, using the hypotrophic-hypokinetic forms of cardiomyopathy (congestive) as a comparison with peripartum cardiomyopathy, which seem to be clinically correlated.

A soluble mepartricin complex (SPA-S-222) of potential oral and parenteral utility in fungal and protozoal infections.

Acute toxicity and absorption data of a soluble complex of mepartricin with sodium laurylsulphate (SPA-S-222) active against C. albicans and T. vaginalis are reported. The results demonstrate an improved bioavailability with respect to the insoluble substance. Preliminary clinical trials proved the good tolerance of the substance and its effectiveness in oral treatment of vaginal trichomoniasis.

[Phonomechanocardiographic diagnosis of the apparently "silent" mitral valve prolapse syndrome (author's transl)].

Five cases with angiocardiographically diagnosed posterior mitral valve prolapse and without ausculatotory findings of midsystolic click or late systolic murmur were studied with phonocardiographic technique employing pharmacological tests and postural changes. A midsystolic click was thus obtained. Isoprenaline was the must helpful drug to achieve it. The accompanying electrocardiographic and coronarographic features of this syndrome are described and discussed.

Synthesis and biological properties of alkyl esters of polyene antibiotics.

Several new alkyl esters of polyene antibiotics were prepared by an improved general procedure, and their toxicity and microbiological activity were tested. Some of these alkyl esters were more active than the nonesterified polyenes against Candida albicans but were less effective than the known methyl esters. Their toxicity was much less than that of the parent compounds.

Color flow Doppler mapping studies of "physiologic" pulmonary and tricuspid regurgitation: evidence for true regurgitation as opposed to a valve closing volume.

Color flow Doppler mapping using either an Aloka 880 or a Toshiba SSH65A system was performed in 39 normal subjects (aged 13 to 45 years) and 43 patients (aged 13 to 82 years) with pathologic tricuspid or pulmonary regurgitation to evaluate the incidence of "physiologic" regurgitation of right heart valves and to determine the differentiating characteristics in the spatial distribution and velocity encoding of "normal" and "pathologic" regurgitant jets. In the normal subjects, tricuspid and pulmonary regurgitation were documented in 32 (83%) and 36 (93%), respectively, and were unrelated to the system being used. Flow acceleration and aliasing were imaged on the right ventricular side of the tricuspid regurgitant orifice and on the pulmonary artery side of the pulmonary valve (in both normal subjects and patients), and indicated flow convergence for true regurgitation through an orifice as opposed to blood being driven retrogradely by the closing valve. Such proximal acceleration was documented in all patients with pathologic tricuspid regurgitation, in 31/32 of the normal subjects with tricuspid regurgitation, and was also observed in 12/15 (80%) of the patients and 4/12 (33%) of normal subjects with pulmonary regurgitation who were examined with the Toshiba system. The dimensions (mean +/- SD) of tricuspid regurgitant jets (length [JL] and area [JA]) were consistently larger in the patients than in the normal subjects [JL: 3.4 +/- 0.9 vs 1.2 +/- 0.5 cm, p less than 0.001; and JA: 5.7 +/- 2.0 vs 1.4 +/- 0.7 cm2, p less than 0.001) as were the pulmonary regurgitation jet dimensions (JL: 1.8 +/- 0.4 vs 0.9 +/- 0.08 cm, p less than 0.001; JA: 1.8 +/- 0.7 vs 0.3 +/- 0.08 cm2, p less than 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
