[Radical prostatectomy: open or "minimally invasive"? Our experience with open surgery and related comments].

Radical prostatectomy remains the gold standard for treatment of localised prostate cancer. Standardisation of the open retro-pubic anatomic prostatectomy by P Walsh allows skilled but not expert surgeons to achieve a high standard of performance. Learning curve is short with this technic, with minor morbidity. Rates of incontinence are low and impotency is now rather uncommon in the younger patient while oncological control is optimal for histologicaly organ confined cancer. "Mini invasive technics", laparoscopy and robot-assisted laparoscopy, have a longer learning curve, including a higher rate of complications that are unusual with open surgery. Operating time remains longer, costs are superior to the open technic and oncological control is not yet clearly validated while rates of classical late complications are not lower. Consequently, most urologist still prefer the open approach

[Dance training and eating disorders].

Medical history, eating habits, weight, current symptomatology and EDI (Eating Disorders Inventory)-scores of 41 bulimic female patients with and without past training in dancing, who came for treatment to an outpatient clinic, were compared. It was found that both groups of patients were not different for age, age at beginning of bulimia, actual as well as minimal and maximal BMI (Body mass index), length and severity of symptomatology, frequency of bulimic behaviors, and scores on the subscales of the EDI, but it should be noted that these similarities might be in relationship with some methodological shortcomings. Considering the prevalence of bulimia nervosa in women and the high frequency of ballet and sports training in teenagers, some hypotheses about the possible influence of strenuous physical exercise in childhood on the symptomatology and some psychological traits in adults with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge-eating disorder are presented. Further studies, including standardized scales and larger samples, are necessary.

[Variations in body weight and feeding behavior in internal medicine].

We have identified an eating disorder in 13% of women hospitalized on a medical ward for various reasons. These as well as obese patients undergo wide fluctuations of weight sometimes exceeding 30% of their present weight. Surprisingly, even in the absence of eating disorders, the changes in weight during adulthood are marked (22% of present body weight). Weight history should be included systematically in the medical history, since it can underscore concern over weight or even an unrecognized eating disorder.

[Nonspecific granulomatous prostatitis. Histopathological study of 53 cases with a review of the literature].

Over a 12-year period (1971-1983), 6868 prostatic biopsies were received and examined at the Department of Pathology, Geneva. 53 (0.77%) presented with non-caseous granulomatous prostatitis. This lesion was associated with nodular prostatic hyperplasia in 38 cases (71.5%) and with prostatic carcinoma in one case (2%), and occurred alone in 14 cases (26.5%). The histogenesis, clinical aspects, management and prognosis of this condition are discussed in the light of current literature.

[Adenocarcinoma of the appendix. 6 cases and review of the literature].

The adenocarcinoma of the vermiform appendix is most frequently discovered at the pathological examination, which causes the problem of a second operation. Our study was done on 145 patients and compares survival according to the attitude taken by the surgeon. It seems that the most favorite treatment is a precocious right hemicolectomy.
