Ultrastructural study of gonads in the complete and incomplete feminization syndrome.

The gonads of two individuals with complete and one with incomplete testicular feminization were examined by light and electron microscopy. In the seminiferous tubules of the complete forms, clear, intermediate, and dark-type Sertoli cells could be distinguished. These are immature elements which had assumed, under the influence of hormones, different morphology. Leydig cells were also immature, at varying stages of differentiation. In the complete form Sertoli and Leydig cells had an almost normal fine structure; the lamina basalis of the tubules, however, was considerably thickened.

Adolescent

[Uterine sarcoma. Clinical and pathological study of 25 cases].

The study reports on the follow-up in 25 cases of uterine sarcoma from 1979 to 1988. 56% of them are leiomyosarcoma, 28% mixed mullerian tumors and 16% sarcoma of the endometrial stroma. The women affected are mostly 40 to 70 years old; 80% of them are pluriparae, in menopause for 64% of them at the time of the diagnosis. Metrorrhagia is the initial symptom in 72% of the cases, 76% of which diagnosed after surgical intervention. The majority of the surgical interventions are integrated with chemo and/or radiotherapy. After three years 66.6% are surviving at the first stage, 33.4% at the second stage, none at the third stage.

Adult

[Predictive factors of infantile cerebral lesions during pregnancy and labor].

The risks connected with children's cerebral lesions are examined by means of two different surveys related to a retrospective study over a period of about 10 years. One of these surveys is clinical and is based in the obstetric case history of children carrying psychomotor handicaps. The other survey is instrumental and concerns 100 cases of pathologic cardiotocography during labour associated with fetal suffering. The results of border surveys are discusses. For the assessment of the obstetric risk the sum of the pathologic conditions that emerged during pregnancy and delivery have to be taken into consideration. Cardiotocography is still a fundamental diagnostic examination to recognise the suffering fetus and the data collected real a close association between cardiotocography diagnosis and the conditions of the baby at the birth.
