Clinical response of alopecia, trichorrhexis nodosa, and dry, scaly skin to zinc supplementation.

Two unrelated patients had dry brittle hair, alopecia, trichorrhexis nodosa, dry scaly skin, pigment dyschromia, short stature, and neurosecretory growth hormone deficiency. By means of the zinc tolerance test, patient 1 was shown to have zinc deficiency, whereas no clear zinc deficiency could be demonstrated in patient 2. In both patients, hair and the skin abnormalities responded to oral zinc therapy.

Multivessel coronary artery spasm.

A 60-year-old patient with variant angina was shown to have myocardial ischemia in two different regions supplied by separate major coronary arteries. Neither artery had significant coronary atherosclerotic obstruction. Ventricular fibrillation was noted during ST-segment elevation in anteroseptal leads. The attacks of pain and arrhythmias disappeared during nifedipine therapy.

Surgical division of an accessory atrioventricular connection in the posterior septal region following ventricular fibrillation in the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

A young man presented with atrial fibrillation and a rapid ventricular response which degenerated into ventricular fibrillation. Electrophysiological study demonstrated an accessory atrioventricular connection in the posterior septal region. This was sectioned to prevent recurrence of his arrhythmia. Post-operative electrophysiological study demonstrated that the surgical section was successful.
