[Acute primary ischemic enteritis and colitis. Clinico-pathological and physio-pathological findings].

By opposition to acute post-operative ischaemic enterocolitis, the authors isolate, with the aid of seven cases, the intestinal lesions which spontaneously occur on the small intestines and on the colon and due to an ischaemic mechanism without thrombosis of the mesenteric vessels. After the description of clinical and anatomical features, they point out the main part of the vascular factor in the genesis of the lesions.

Aged

[Peptic oesophagitis and carcinoma of the lower third of the oesophagus: report of 7 cases (author's transl)].

The authors report seven cases of carcinomas of the lower third of the esophagus developed on lesions of peptic esophagitis. These lesions precede the carcinoma. They can be real precancerous states and even in situ carcinomas whose evolution over several years could be proved indeed. They argue about the therapeutical indications in peptic esophagitis considering not only that such a cancerous transformation is always possible but also the fact that a surgical ablation is always serious.

Adenocarcinoma

[Headache and oral contraceptives (selective study of 159 cases)].

Based on a series of 159 cases of headache during oral contraception, the authors confirm the part plainly favouring and aggravating of oral contraceptives on headaches. They are dominated by the frequency of migraines and happen with predilection at the time of hormonal weaning. We deduct from this, that oral contraceptives generally aggravate or reveal a latent sensitivity to hormonal variations, especially clear with older women.

Adult

[Colonic Crohn's disease: diagnostic and therapeutic problems. Apropos of 11 cases].

The authors report a few unusual cases of Crohn's disease of the colon and discuss the diagnostic problems which are raised in such cases. They then review the various colonic diseases liable to be considered in a differential diagnosis, and which may be linked to colonic Crohn's disease, e.g. ulcerative colitis, intestinal tuberculosis, carcinoma of the colon, colonic diverticulosis and sarcoidosis. In a chapter on treatment, they emphasize the favourable effect of acexamic acid and the necessity for very wide colonic resection, and they note a complication which they encountered during surgery for Crohn's disease: lymphatic peritonitis on the 8th day after right colectomy.

Acute Disease

[Lymphatic peritonitis occurring 8 days after right colectomy for Crohn's disease].

The authors have observed on two occasions, a diffuse peritoneal syndrome in the post-operative period after right hemi-colectomy for Crohn's disease, and interpret, in the absence of complications at the level of the anastomosis, as peritonitis due to septic lymphorrhea. According to them, it does not seem that this syndrome has the same significance as that described following appendicectomy in children.

Adult

[Developed carcinomas of the lower oesophagus with peptic lesions (author's transl)].

The authors report seven cases of carcinomas of the lower oesophagus with peptic lesions. Based on clinical, endoscopical and histological criteria, they point out these peptic lesions preceded the carcinoma in all the cases certainly or very probably. They emphasize at last two cases where the peptic lesions after a strict supervision during many years, gave place, in spite of it all, to a cancerous transformation.

Adenocarcinoma

[Gall-bladder troubles and oral contraceptives (author's transl)].

On the basis of about one hundred and fifty cases, the authors study the effect of oral contraceptives on the gall-bladder. After having showed their results, they discuss the mechanism of the action of oral contraceptives on the gall-bladder, showing their favouring effect on gallstones and pointing out the delay in gall-bladder emptying induced by them.
