A method of repair for unilateral macroglossia. Case report.

A method is described for the operative correction of unilateral macroglossia. The method permits the tongue to be reconstructed so that it assumes a relatively normal size and shape. The scar is led out to the lateral border of the tongue so that the reconstructed tip retains sensation.

Diabetic nephropathy. Clinical observations and prognosis.

38 diabetic patients in dialysis or after renal transplantation have retrospectively been studied to see if some of the clinical observations could be of prognostic value. The results show that cardial ectasia is correlated to a significant higher mortality, whereas the degree of diabetic retinopathy and the duration of diabetes both seem to be without prognostic importance.

Diabetic nephropathy. Experiences through seven years. Survival curves and causes of death.

A 7-year material is presented comprising 38 diabetic nephropathy patients who were treated by dialysis and transplantation. The cumulative patient survival rate after one year is 39%. The survival rate of the transplanted diabetic patient is poorer than that of the transplanted non-diabetic patient. However, no difference is to be found between the graft survival rates of the two patient groups. Forty-seven percent of the patients died from cardiovascular causes and 43% from infectious complications.

Dialysis therapy of terminal uraemia in insulin-requiring diabetic patients.

A 5-year material comprising 26 insulin-requiring patients with terminal uraemia is reported. The patients were treated with protein restriction, peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis with a view to kidney transplantation. Changes in cardiac state, diabetic retinopathy, insulin requirements and blood sugar during treatment are described. In addition, dialysis complications are described. It is concluded that by the use of dialysis treatment such patients can be helped to an acceptable life while waiting for a transplantation.

Renal transplantation in patients with insulin requiring diabetes and renal failure.

During a six year period twelve patients with insulin dependent diabetes and end-stage renal failure received cadaveric kidney grafts. Eleven of the patients have previous to this been hemodialysed, one patient was transplanted before hemodialysis was necessary. The cumulative two year survival was thirty-seven per cent for the patients, and twenty-nine per cent for the kidney grafts. The average time of observation was eleven months, the motality was fifty per cent. The causes of death were acute myocardial infarction in two cases, sepsis in two cases, severe hypoglycemia in one case and unexpected sudden death in one case. The most prominent problems in the treatment of the diabetic patients after the renal transplantation were difficulties in the regulation of the diabetes, rejections, infections, cardiac failure and aggravation in pre-existing hypertension.
