[Acceptance or refusal of abortion for maternal reasons. Survey of 3021 employees of the Federal Government].

A survey was conducted among 3021 employees from the Mexican Federal Government regarding their acceptance or rejection of abortion in five different circumstances. Socioeconomic information was obtained from the interviewed and the result was that 23% totally rejected abortion, and 6% accepted abortion in any situation. Abortion was accepted by 61% in case of pregnancy threatens the mother's life; 63% in case a single woman has been raped; 41% if there are so many children and such situation implies economic problems for the family; 13% if the couple prefers to wait for an economic improvement; and 18% if the couple has decided to have no more than two kids. Also from the interviewed, 16% pointed out that abortion must be an exclusive decision from the woman and 29% thought it must be a shared decision with the partner. Abortion is better accepted by young people, by couples with few children or living in free union and by people with higher education level and higher income. It is also better accepted by people with no religion, or people who do not attend religious services or by whom religion does not affect their decisions in life.

[Splenogammography with Anger's camera].

Through 230 consecutive studies, 180 from patients and 50 from healthy persons, we obtain simultaneous figures of the spleen and the liver. The best position to obtain better scintigraphies of the spleen was the posterior left oblique. The normal dimensions of the spleen image was 11.1 mm. +/- 1.2 mm. (1 sigma) long diameter, and 6.9 mm. +/- 1.1 mm (1 sigma) broad diameter. In a great number of patients we found an enlargement of the spleen in the scintigraphic image without clinical demonstration. The study is easy, rapid and without troubles for patients; moreover it afford an important knowledge in the study of the spleen and the liver in simultaneous form.
