Microdochectomy for discharge from a single lactiferous duct.

Microdochectomy for persistent discharge from a single lactiferous duct was performed in 162 women. Invasive or in situ ductal carcinoma was diagnosed in 16 patients (10 per cent), none of whom had a palpable lump. The discharge was blood-stained in 14 of these women and in two it was clear. Mammography was performed in 15 of these 16 patients and was abnormal in only five. Three patients had atypical ductal hyperplasia, one of whom subsequently developed an invasive ductal carcinoma. Microdochectomy for persistent discharge from a single lactiferous duct is curative and gives a diagnosis of the cause. It remains the treatment of choice whether the discharge is blood-stained or clear.

Fluid therapy for induced labour under epidural analgesia: biochemical consequences for mother and infant.

Two types of fluid regimen were provided for patients having labour induced under epidural analgesia. Reasons for the infusion were to pre-load the circulation before the epidural, and subsequently to sustain maternal hydration. Both fluids were isotonic, one was predominantly saline based (Hartmann's solution) and the other contained both saline and dextrose. Blood glucose and serum sodium, lactate and beta-hydroxybutyrate were measured before the start of induction, at delivery and in the cord sample. Blood glucose and serum sodium were measured in the babies at 12 and 24 h of age. The dextrose-saline fluid caused small but significant changes in blood glucose and serum sodium which did not exceed the normal reference limits for either. The use of Hartmann's solution was associated with considerable rises in maternal serum beta-hydroxybutyrate at delivery. Neither fluid had any significant effect on the blood glucose or serum sodium in infants at 12 and 24 h of age.

Intra-ocular tuberculosis associated with a penetrating injury. A case report.

A case of histologically proven intra-ocular tuberculosis is described. The condition was preceded by penetrating trauma, and no evidence of systemic tuberculosis other than a positive Mantoux test was found. Numerous acid-fast bacilli were seen in pathological sections of the eye. We suspect that a tuberculosis bacillaemia from an undetected healed focus coincided with the trauma and thereby produced intra-ocular tuberculosis.

Ceftazidime and cefamandole in the treatment of pneumonia.

Fifty-nine community-acquired pneumonias were treated in a randomized double blind trial with cefamandole or ceftazidime. A prospective scoring system was used to define severity. This made use of basic clinical data, associated diseases, white blood count, blood gases and chest radiographs. There were no serious side-effects from the drugs. There were two deaths and six failed treatment. The scoring system which defined an 'ill group' showed as good a response of these ill patients to the new cephalosporin, ceftazidime as to cefamandole.
