Antimicrobial activity of human peritoneal fluid.

Cell free peritoneal fluids from 23 normal women had antimicrobial activity which was directed against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and also against yeasts. The activity was bacteriostatic or bactericidal and seemed to be due to the presence of a variety of factors which varied in their heat stability and dependence on complement. Lysozyme was present in the fluids but was not responsible for all the antimicrobial activity.

[Generalized congenital fibromatosis. A new case report (author's transl)].

The authors report a new case of generalized congenital fibromatosis in a young white girl who presented at birth a sub-cutaneous frontal localization with osteolytic lesions. At three and a half months of age, a complete auriculo-ventricular block was discovered secondary to a myocardial localization and she died of acute respiratory failure without showing early anormal pulmonary radiological lesions. In reviewing ten cases of this generalized congenital form of the osteolytic lesions encountered, and stress the fact that the discrete radiological pulmonary signs that condition the prognosis. The then discuss the utility of distinguishing diffus and generalized forms of congenital fibromatosis.

[Research concerning the spontaneous course of 135 cases of Menière's disease. Critical study of operative indications (author's transl)].

135 cases of Ménière's disease were observed for five and a half years. Out of 1120 Ent patients, one suffered from Ménière's disease. Out of 1 000 audiogram, 8 involved cases of Ménière's disease. Of 9 cases of non-traumatic vertigo where a vetsibular origin was suspected, I was Ménière's disease. The morbidity was 75 per million. Hearing was stable in 62% of cases, worsened in 15%, improved in 15% whilst in 8% there was total deafness before the onset of vertigo. Vertigo disappeared in 94% of cases. Bilateral Ménière's disease is associated with a particularly unfavourable course with regard to general condition, since the disease would appear to be the consequence of a more deep-seated organic disorder. These figures are exactly the same as those found after vestibular neurectomy. In 98% of cases surgery is useless and hence dangerous.
