Urea in the management of advanced malignancies (preliminary report).

Twenty cases of advanced (Stage III) cancer of the cervix were treated with intratumour injection of 40% urea solution and local application of 50% urea ointment. Sixty percent of these patients had beneficial effect and in 25% of the patients there was minimal response. Patients with multiple secondaries in liver had very good symptomatic relief with oral urea. Urea therapy is a simple, cheap, and safe method of treating advanced stages of cancer, where very little can be done by the accepted lines of treatment such as surgery or radiotherapy. This line of treatment can be practiced even in a consulting room or primary health center.

Intraperitoneal and intragastric norepinephrine instillation in massive gastrointestinal bleeding--clinical study. Preliminary report.

Intraperitoneal and intragastric instillation of norepinephrine in high concentration can arrest bleeding of various origins in the gastrointestinal tract. Of the 21 cases studied, the hemorrhage was controlled in 80% of cases. This form of therapy is simple, prompt, safe and can be performed as a bed-side therapeutic procedure to stop life-threatening gastrointestinal tract bleeding. Intraperitoneal instillation of norepinephrine should not be used more than once, if the bleeding is not controlled. Intragastric norepinephrine instillations may be repeated any number of times if required.

Role of lymphography in management of filarial chyluria.

1. One hundred patients with chyluria were studied with lymphography and 80 cases were followed up for a period varying between six months to two and one half years. 2. There was preponderance of left sided lesions. The site of fistulations were mostly in the region of pelvis and calyces of the kidney. 3. It was observed that lymphography was very useful in treatment of chyluria. Thirty-eight patients (48%) with chyluria were completely free from symptoms and after lymphography, 23 (28%) of them had relief and 19 (24%) of the patients did not have any beneficial effect after lymphography. This procedure was of great help in demonstrating the site of fistulations which could be surgically corrected, in certain situations. 4. Lymphographic appearances of thoracic duct was helpful in deciding the operation of thoracic duct jugular vein anastomosis in some cases. 5. Lymphatico venous anastomosis was done in 3 patients at the root of the scrotum in whom retrograde flow of contrast material occurred into the testicular lymphatics on lymphography.
