Ultrasonographic test of subcutaneous arteriovenous Cimino fistula.

A total of 168 chronic dialysed patients were subjected to echography; 48% of them presented aneurysmal alterations of the fistula, with a tendency to increase in proportion to the length of the dialysis period. Two examination methods, the audial and the visual, furnish information on the flow within the fistula, the quality and lumen of the created anastomosis, blood yield, formation and position of collateral circulation. The authors emphasize the advantage of the non-invasive technique as against examination with contrast medium, the early performance of anticoagulation, and the significance of thrombectomy to spare a reoperation of the fistula.

Serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in progeria as a model of ageing.

Hutchinson-Gilford progeria was observed in two brothers. Their parents, sister and other relatives did not show any signs of this illness. Serum total cholesterol and total triglyceride levels were normal in the whole family. The serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level of parents was low and that of boys was extremely low. The serum HDL-C level of the healthy sister and other relatives was normal. These findings in homozygous children and heterozygous parents may explain the development of the very early fatal arteriosclerosis described in this disease. The connection between the disorder of the lipid metabolism and progeria can serve as a useful model in the study of the role of lipid metabolism in normal ageing.

Control of life-threatening bleeding by combined plasmapheresis and immunosuppressive treatment in a haemophiliac with inhibitors.

Life-threatening lingual haemorrhage was successfully treated in a 3-year-old haemophiliac who had a high level of inhibitor in his plasma. Repeated plasma exchange with high-dose factor VIII concentrate led to a cessation of bleeding. Immunosuppressive treatment introduced at the time of plasmapheresis and carried out for 6 weeks seems to have prevented the return of the inhibitor.
