Estrogen-receptor protein in intracranial meningiomas.
The increased frequency of meningiomas in women compared with men, and the rapidly progressive course of these tumors in pregnant patients suggest that hormones may be involved in this disease. Tumor tissue from six patients with meningiomas was analyzed for estrogen-receptor protein. Two patients had tumors with very high concentrations of this protein, approaching that found in hormonally sensitive breast carcinoma. The biochemical and possible clinical significance of these findings is discussed.

Traumatic bilateral carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas with progressive unilateral enlargement.
The authors present a patient with traumatic bilateral carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas associated with fracture of the sella turcica. Repeat angiography ten days after admission revealed that the left fistula had enlarged and was shunting the entire output of the left carotid artery and a portion of the output of the basilar artery. A muscle embolization procedure was sucessfully performed on the left side but was complicated by hemorrhage from the left cavernous sinus prior to closure. Problems associated with the enlargement of carotid-cavernous fistulas are discussed.

Antimicrobial agents from marine algae.
The antimicrobial activity of five compounds extracted from marine algae was tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella choleraesuis, Mycobacterium smegmatis, Candida albicans, and Escherichia coli. Three of the compounds, cycloeudesmol, laurinterol, and debromolaurinterol, exhibited activity at concentrations approaching that of streptomycin. None of the compounds inhibited all of the organisms tested. There appeared to be selectivity for gram-positive microbes.
