Application of INSTAT hemostat in the control of gingival hemorrhage in the patient with thrombocytopenia. A case report.

Gingival bleeding in the patient with thrombocytopenia can be a difficult management problem. Primary therapy with platelet transfusions may not be sufficient to control the hemorrhage and adjunctive local therapy may be required. Currently, few local management techniques can effectively control this problem. INSTAT collagen absorbable hemostat can be used as a local adjunct with platelet transfusions and has certain application advantages over topical thrombin and microfibrillar collagen. Two successful techniques of INSTAT application to control gingival hemorrhage in a patient with severe thrombocytopenia in leukemic relapse are described.

Maxillary metastasis of transitional cell carcinoma: report of a case.

Metastases to the maxilla are extremely rare, and only 64 cases of histologically proven maxillary metastases can be found in the English-language literature. This article reports the first case of metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder to the maxilla. The distribution of proven cases of maxillary metastasis and the possible anatomic pathways for this metastasis are discussed.

Rating intervals: an experiment in peer review.

The National Institute of Health (NIH) peer review process for research grant applications is one of the largest and most respected systems of its kind in the world. Recently, however, the distribution of raw priority scores voted by NIH study sections has been skewed, and the rating behavior of individual review groups has been quite variable. These phenomena have made funding decisions more difficult. To achieve greater uniformity of rating behavior and a broader description of scores, an experiment was conducted involving 24 study sections. Standard adjectival descriptors and standard rating scales were used. On a random basis, half of the study sections were instructed to vote in units of 0.1 while the other half used an interval of 0.5. The results of this study have now been translated into standard practice at NIH.

Concurrent anomalies: cheilitis glandularis and double lip. Report of a case.

Double lip and cheilitis glandularis are uncommon anomalies involving the minor salivary glands of the lip. A unique case of concurrent double lip and cheilitis glandularis is presented. The development, diagnosis, and treatment of both lesions are reviewed. Their concurrent development in this patient appears to be unrelated.

Acrocephalopolysyndactyly type II--Carpenter syndrome: clinical spectrum and an attempt at unification with Goodman and Summit syndromes.

Carpenter syndrome (ACPS type II) was first described by Carpenter in 1901. The syndrome consists of acrocephaly, soft tissue syndactyly, brachy- or agenesis mesophalangy of the hands and feet, preaxial polydactyly, congenital heart disease, mental retardation, hypogenitalism, obesity, and umbilical hernia. Here we review the literature on Carpenter syndrome and add 2 affected sibs with marked intrafamilial variability. This review showed that 2 reported variations of Carpenter syndrome, Goodman and Summitt syndromes, actually fall within the clinical spectrum of this disorder. This confirms earlier suggestions of Gorlin (personal communication 1982) and Hall et al [Am J Med Genet 5:423-434, 1980].

Management of a common oral lesion of the elderly.

Lichen planus of the oral cavity produces significant functional and symptomatic problems for elderly patients. Oral lesions often occur in the absence of concomitant skin lesions. Unlike cutaneous lesions, oral lesions of lichen planus may become a chronic, recurring problem that is difficult to control. The diagnostic features of lichen planus of the oral cavity are reviewed and treatment strategies presented. Periodic follow-up is recommended to monitor the disease process and to observe for the development of early squamous cell carcinoma.
