[Criteria for choice of cryosurgical hemorrhoidectomy].

In the light of their own experience the authors assess the cryosurgical method in the treatment of hemorrhoids; they point out that this method is especially suitable for patients that cannot be treated by conventional hemorrhoidectomy because of associated pathology. With cryosurgery the authors have obtained radical surgical cures without any major complication and with a definitely lower incidence of discomfort than with the conventional surgical technic.

[Contact thermography in the early diagnosis of tumors of the breast].

After a brief review of thermal physics and physiology, the authors explain the applications of cholesterol ester plates in the study of breast malignancy. Accumulated experience plus the fruits of statistical studies conducted in leading centers, make it advantageous to use contact thermography not only for the early diagnosis of breast malignancy but also for mass screening of the general population. In competent hands, this technic yields accurate and dependable diagnosis; the method is completely harmless to patient and physician and can be used as many times as needed; and in addition, the method is economical both in terms of time consumed and of actual cost of materials. The new method does not supersede roentgenological investigation indiscriminately but confines it to cases that remain doubtful or suspicious after clinical and thermographic examination.

[Anastomoses of the lower 3d of the esophagus].

In view of the larger number of operations on the bottom third of the oesophagus recently necessary in the destructive surgical therapy for tumours, the Authors re-examine 50 cases of oesophago-gastric and oesophago-jejunal anastomoses and stress the importance of accurate anastomoses, preferably single-layer in order to avoid early and delayed complications.

[Some practical diagnostic notes on severe jaundice].

The authors discuss duodenoscopy conduced with the help of a topical anesthetic plus systemic antispasmodic premedication for the differential diagnosis of severe jaundice, with or without catheterization of the papilla. From their first-hand experience with this method, the authors conclude that the procedure is remarkably useful and free of complications.

[Splenectomy: indications and results].

The authors review their splenectomy records for the last ten years and discuss complications and mortality in relation to the indications for such surgery in each case. They conclude that both immediate and delayed postoperative mortality reflects mainly the underlying disease rather than surgical trauma; in their clinical material, complications were never severe and at any rate readily brought under control.

[Physiopathology of the gastrectomized patient].

The Authors re-examined 50 cases of various ages and both sexes subjected to total gastrectomy for neoplasia, without any other chemotherapic or radiant collateral treatmente, and analyse the sequelae following total removal of the stomach. On the basis of the data collected, they conclude on the importance of an adequate reconstructive technique, in particular stressing the utility of preservation of the duodenal transit and the need for suitable dietetic-pharmacological conduct in the years following the operation.

[Origin of oncogenic viruses].

On the basis of the literature, and particularly of recent paraprocessing studies, the possible origin of oncogenous RNA viruses in human is discussed. The concept of the irritative theory as the origin of most such viruses, according to the "wandering gene" concept, is reiterated.
