[Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency and atresia of the bile ducts].

A newly-born male affected by extrahepatic biliary atresia with an alpha-1 antitrypsin pi ZZ deficiency is presented. Parents, Pi MZ, showing no signs of affection either in liver or lungs. His two brothers and one sister died at nine months, 7 years and 22 months respectively. Two brothers showed cirrhosis of the liver, the sister showed extrahepatic biliary atresia, and in all three patients there was an alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Authors want to emphasize the presence of extra-hepatic biliary atresia in both brother and sister who had also an alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency because this is an infrequent association which requires different treatment.

[Keratinization of the senile epidermis (author's transl)].

The ultrastructural study of the senile epidermis without an apparent lesion, in the phase of cicatrization of a traumatic lesion and in a state of hyperkeratosic transformation in comparison with those performed in the normal epidermis, reveals decrease in the number of clear keratinocytes (only compensated in the process of cicatrization) it is in concord with the most recent theory of the aging of cells of Gelfant and Smith. The increase of clear suprabasal cells in the epidermis degenerative process with a constant of the percentage of clear and dark basal cells suggest a liberation of bloqued cells, which constituted probably the direct source of neoplasic differentiation.

[Pheochromocytoma and sudden death (author's transl)].

Five cases of pheochromocytoma are described in which sudden death was the form of the initial clinical presentation in almost all of them. After a brief review on the history and the incidence of the tumor within the general population, diverse cases are analyzed from a clinical point of view and in relation to the data appeared in the literature. In the analysis of the symptoms emphasis is placed on the important psychomotor manifestations which are present in the majority of those patients and which causes serious difficulties in the initial diagnosis. All of the patients showed signs of shock at the time of being observed or during the course of this observation, and in the majority of them the presence of acute pulmonary edema was confirmed; facts which we attribute to an initial hypertensive episode associated to a left heart failure. The onset of the crisis in two patients was related to known triggering factors: anesthesia and sulpiride. In other two patients associated conditions were diagnosed: medullary carcinoma of the thyroid gland in one of them, and cystic necrosis of the middle layer of the aorta in the other.
