[Value of radionuclide imaging for the emergency diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. 27 cases].

The urgent nature of certain cases of pulmonary ambolism limits the examinations possible to a minimum which should be rapid, immediately interpretable, absolutley harmless and of proven reliability. We reviewed 27 cases of patients referred fro possible embolectomy in a cardiovascular surgery service from 1968 to 1975. Infusion scintigraphy was carried out in all the patients and 20 underwent surgery. Retrospective study of these cases indicates that infusion lung scintigraphy confirmed the diagnosis in all 27 and indicated the need for medical or surgical treatment. The problems which were posed by certain scintigraphic images obtained using a scanning apparatus with iodine mabelled macro-agregates have disappeared with current techniques: the use of microemboli labelled with Technetium, a short-life low energy isotope, together with a scintillation camera which gives rapid AP and lateral views, the latter being essential in the determination of the topographical distribution of the defects.

[Spontaneous immuno-adherence in viral hepatitis].

Sera from patients with hepatitis, according to clinical and biochemical data, often give a spontaneous immune adherence (S.I.A.) with O human red blood cells. In 58% of the cases the test is positive and is associated with Australia (HBs) antigen in 6.7 to 9.5% of the patients. The titer cas reach 1/8192 and seems to follow the clinical evolution. S.I.A. also occurs at low titre (less than or equal to 1/32) in 18 to 30% of the cirrhosis tested, in 17 to 22% of various diseases and in 0 to 16% of different neoplasia. In spite of the fact that S.I.A. is not specific in its principle, it may be useful as a complementary test for detection and monitoring of viral hepatitis.

[Double contrast radiography in the study of the gastric posterior wall (author's transl)].

The authors report their experience about 2,422 examinations with double contrast radiography in the study of the gastric posterior wall. This technique is of great value in the detection, analysis and follow-up of gastric ulcerations. In 54 per cent of cases, the double contrast radiography showed endoscopically proven ulcerations, which where not recognized by standard barium meal technique. The diagnosis of the benign tumours of the posterior wall of the stomach has been also increased bay double contrast radiography. Thus, this technique is recommended for routine examination of the stomach.
