Finger in his eye.
A 21-year-old soldier sustained a schrapnel blast injury during an accident with a mortar fuse. Surgical repair included the use of one of his reconstructed metacarpal bones to repair the orbital floor. The remainder of the orbital floor was repaired using maxillary bone. It proved an excellent method of repairing this patient's orbital floor.

Neonatal septicaemia due to a nutritionally deficient streptococcus. A case report.
A case of neonatal septicaemia due to a nutritionally deficient streptococcus is described. Unusual features were abdominal distension and excessive nasogastric aspirate with infrequent stools. Recovery followed treatment with intravenous penicillin and gentamicin. Attention is drawn to the possibility of missing such infections unless culture media are supplemented with vitamin B in cases in which staining of the blood culture reveals Gram-positive cocci which fail to grow on standard plates.

Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis and associated anomalies in the genitourinary tract.
Genitourinary anomalies were looked for in patients with congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. In a prospective series of 64 patients investigated by intravenous pyelography, 13 were abnormal (20.6%). In a retrospective series of 232 patients, 6 had anomalies of the upper urinary tract (2.7%). In this latter series the incidence of inguinal hernia (3.4%), undescended testes (3.0%), and hypospadias (0.9%) was determined. In another 10 patients urinary tract anomalies (5), urinary infection (2), and a significant family history (3) were found associated with congenital pyloric stenosis. As the incidence of these anomalies is greater than expected, which suggests an interrelationship, a hypothesis has been proposed linking genetic factors and the metabolism of gastrin with the etiology of congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.
