[Current prognosis for foreign bodies in the respiratory and digestive tracts? Report of 840 cases collected over a 5-year period (1969-1974)].

This is a resume of a survey involving 240 foreign bodies in the air passages and digestive tract over a period of five years. Those in the oesophagus were all except one removed by means of endoscopy and among the complications there were 22 strictures of the oesophagus and 8 abscesses, one of them fatal. All the foreign bodies in the air passages were removed by means of bronchoscopy without any accidents or complications. Endoscopy is therefore the main method while surgery remains the exception. New endoscopic techniques combined with antibiotics and electrolytic check-ups so essential in cases of tracheotomy, make present-day prognosis in cases of foreign body excellent.

[Analytical study of 510 cases of surgical lymph node biopsies].

510 cases of surgical lymph node biopsies during a five year period are reviewed with the following conclusions: The lymph node biopsy constitutes 5% of all the surgical biopsies. The cervical and axillary lymph nodes are the most commonly biopsied nodes due to their easy accessibility and due to the fact that they drain the lymph from many vital organs; the next most commonly biopsied nodes are the sub-clavicular, grains, mesentric and mediastinal nodes. Among all the lymph node affections the metastatic tumours occupy the first place (23%) followed by the primary tumours (malignant lymphomas 16%) and the specific inflammatory lesions (10%). Among the metastic nodes squamous cell carcinoma occupy the first place (8%) followed by digestive tract, lung, thyroid glands, breast, testicular, pancreatic, ovarian and gall bladder tumours.
