[Visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis in Huesca. Epidemiologic aspects].

The authors present a study of twelve children affected with leishmaniasis, observed in the province of Huesca (Spain). Three of the patients presented visceral form and the other nine cutaneous form. The clinical, evolutive and therapeutic aspects of this disease are analyzed, with special reference to the epidemiological aspects, since the incidence has been found to be high in an area in which the disease is not considered endemic.

[Mucolipidosis III. Apropos of a case].

Authors present a case of mucolipidosis III diagnosed in a boy suffering from articular retractions, platyspondylia and a normal mucolysacchariduria. Biochemical characteristics of the lisosomial enzyme, reduced in fibroblasts in culture and increased in biological fluids allow such diagnose. Primary enzyme lack being not yet explained, authors comment upon the hypothesis trying to explain biochemical findings.

[Angiocardiographic study of 30 patients with complete A-V canal (author's transl)].

Authors present the results of angiocardiographic study on 30 patients with complete A-V canal. This study is divided in two parts: First, they define general concepts such as aortic suspension, anterior common valve-theoretical right border angle, left and right regurgitation, etc. Secondly, they classify A-V canal in two groups according to the following characteristics: 1) Anterior common valve normal, moderate suspension of the aorta less than 50%, rough right border of the left ventricle, angulation less than 45 degrees, medial interventricular communication and left regurgitation. 2) Common anterior valve small, important suspension of the aorta greater than or equal to 50%, smooth right border, angulation greater than or equal to 45 degrees, large communication and left and right regurgitation. Differential data between interventricular communication and valvular regurgitation are commented. They emphasize how important the posterior smooth septum and the common anterior valve are in producing the suspension of the aorta and also in the narrowing and elongation of the infundibulum. Finally, some considerations about the surgical implications according to the type of canal are made.

[Epidermoid carcinoma of the oral cavity: a histopathological study of 85 cases].

In 85 cases of intraoral squamous cell carcinoma we have carried out a descriptive and statistical analysis of 8 parameters or morphological aspects: structural growth pattern, degree of keratinization, differentiation or similarity, nuclear pleomorphism, frequency of mitoses, inflammatory response, number of eosinophils and vascular invasion. We have found that in 65% of the cases there was a cord type growth pattern, and 51% evidenced a maximum degree of keratinization. The neoplastic cells were characterized by a moderate differentiation and pleomorphism, 69% and 73% respectively, there being 1-3 mitoses/8 fields in 54% of the cases. We did not find very marked differences between degrees 1, 2, and 3 of inflammatory response (39%, 25%, 33% respectively). We observed vascular invasion in only 8.5% of the cases. The average value of intratumoral and peritumoral eosinophils was 18 and 37.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity: a follow up study of 85 cases and analysis of prognostic variables.

We have studied clinical and morphological variables of 85 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. After a follow up which varied between 2 months and 6 years, we carried out an analysis of the survival rate, and obtained significant differences (p < 0.05) for the Breslow and Mantel-Cox tests in relation to the clinical stage, size and presence of lymphadenopathy. Furthermore we have carried out a predictive-prognostic statistical analysis through a multiple regression study, from which we have concluded that the size of the lesion and the number of peritumoral eosinophils were the variables with prognostic significance with respect to the survival rate of the patients. Furthermore, once the variables in relation to the incidence of relapse were analyzed, we found that the size, the presence of lymphadenopathy, the number of peritumoral eosinophils and the number of mitoses were those variables considered to be of the greatest prognostic value.
