Outcome of pregnancy in 110 patients with organic heart disease.

Organic heart disease is still one of the main causes of maternal and fetal mortality. The outcome of pregnancy in 110 patients with organic heart disease ranging from class I to IV (New York Heart Association Classification) was studied. The incidence of intrauterine growth retardation in the study group was examined with regard to severity of the disease. Birth weight was compared to that in a matched control group, and no statistically significant difference between the two groups was found.

Primary gastrointestinal tract lymphomas.

AIM: To evaluate the prognostic factors and treatment modalities affecting survival in patients with primary gastrointestinal tract lymphoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Gastrointestinal tract lymphoma patients were retrospectively studied. Age and sex of patients, location and histopathological grade of tumour, stage of disease, extent of surgical resection and chemotherapy were evaluated as prognostic factors. Effects of clinicopathological and treatment associated factors on disease-free and overall survival were calculated in univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: On univariate analysis, disease stage (p = 0.002), extent of surgical resection (p = 0.003) and chemotherapy (p = 0.001) were found to be significantly affecting overall survival and none of the studied factors were found to be related with disease-free survival. Multivariate analysis revealed that grade of the tumour (p = 0.042) and chemotherapy (p = 0.028) significantly affected disease-free survival and disease stage (p = 0.013) and chemotherapy (p = 0.0003) were independent prognostic factors for overall survival. In addition, surgery and chemotherapy in combination, significantly increased overall survival compared to surgery or chemotherapy only. CONCLUSION: Early stage patients have a better survival and it could be prolonged if surgery with no residual disease is performed; adjuvant chemotherapy provides an additional benefit.

Gastric leiomyoblastoma: report of three cases.

Leiomyoblastoma is a rare smooth muscle tumor characterized by epithelioid cells with clear cytoplasms and an unknown biological behaviour. Since pre-operative diagnosis is difficult, the optimum strategy during the operation could be determined only by having a thorough knowledge about it beforehand. Leiomyoblastoma can be exogastric, intramural or endogastric. In the mostly benign exogastric leiomyoblastomas, total excision with resection of full thickness of gastric wall around the tumor is appropriate. Partial or total gastrectomy should be performed for intramural or endogastric tumors. We report one exogastric and two intramural gastric leiomyoblastoma cases treated in our hospital.
