[Significance of Harris' lines in fractures of the legs. Review of 53 cases].

Metabolic deficiencies of various kinds, acute or chronic diseases, and especially bone fractures may cause the formation of transverse thickening lines--known as Harris' lines--in bone metaphysis. The authors have selected 53 cases of lower limbs fractures in young people from their clinical reports and studies. These reports included X-ray studies or other data allowing comparison of the injured segment at a significant time interval from trauma. The importance of Harris' lines, which appear in a high percentage of cases, is discussed also from a medical jurisprudence point of view, as these lines clearly indicate the time when the fracture occurred and the subsequent evolution of the repair process.

[Milk of calcium renal lithiasis: uro-echographic evaluation].

From the fortuitous observation of a rare case of "milk of calcium" lithiasis in a renal calyceal diverticulum, the authors, having examined the etiopathogenetic implications of the disease and having considered the problems of differential diagnosis, discuss whether urography and sonography are a valid means of making a correct diagnosis and the consequent implications of a therapeutic nature which this pathology would involve.

[CT in the evaluation of the extension of bronchogenic carcinoma].

The computed tomographic patterns in 52 patients with histologically proven lung cancer are reported. The AA. underline the not sobstitutive role of C.T. scan in pre-operative determination of bronchogenic carcinoma extension. C.T. revealed a very high diagnostic accuracy in assessing the primary tumor extension and in evaluating distant macrometastases; however, in showing hilar and mediastinal nodal involvement has not the same accuracy. The AA. think that, at the present time, a combinate C.T. study of the chest, upper abdomen and brain is, in the most number of cases, a rapid, accurate and practical method to evaluate the extension of lung cancer.

[Changes in the plasma magnesium content in patients subjected to cardiopulmonary bypass].

Changes in plasma magnesium content in 17 patients operated in extracorporeal circulation are reported. Values were low at the end of the operation, but rose at the end of the first day to achieve spontaneous resolution of the condition within 3 days. No close relationship between such loss and immediate postoperative arrhythmia could be discerned. Attention is, however, drawn to 3 cases in which ventricular fibrillation was not resolved until electric shock treatment was preceded by the administration of magnesium sulphate.

[Treatment of esophageal achalasia].

4 cases of oesophageal achalasia, 2 primary and 2 recurrences following multiple oesophagomyotomy are reported. The superiority of oesophagomyotomy carried out by the left transthoracic route (according to Ellis) in cases of primary achalasia is stressed. On the basis of the literature and reported experience, it is concluded that this approach is also preferable in recurrences when the previous operation was done by the abdominal route and the recurrence occurred within 6 months. In all other cases, particularly in the presence of an achalasic megaoesophagus, partial oesophagogastric resection with interposition of a jejunal loop (Merendino's operation) is the procedure of choice and the satisfactory results of using it are reported.
