Plasma deoxyribonucleic acid concentrations of women in labor and umbilical cords.

The concentration of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in plasma from 30 women in labor and plasma from the umbilical cords was determined with a rapid, inexpensive, and simple fluorometric method. These concentrations of DNA were compared to the plasma DNA concentrations of nonpregnant women. The mean plasma DNA concentration of women in labor was significantly lower than the mean plasma DNA concentration of nonpregnant women in the use of 99 per cent confidence limits. The mean plasma DNA concentration of umbilical cords during the third stage of labor was significantly lower than the mean plasma DNA concentrations of women in labor with the use of 99 per cent confidence limits and of nonpregnant women using 99.9 per cent confidence limits.

Aneurysm of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery of a 5-year-old girl.

A case of a congenital aneurysm located on the left posterior inferior cerebellar artery, which ruptured producing subarachnoid hemorrhage and death in a 5-year-old girl, is presented. The very low incidence of congenital aneurysms in young children and the relatively rare occurrence of aneurysms of the vertebral-basilar system are two additional unusual features of this case.

Fatal arrhythmia following deodorant inhalation: case report.

With the removal from the general marketplace of volatile hydrocarbons which have been previously abused by "thrill-seekers", new and often unlikely products are now being exploited by those who whish to escape reality. Many of these products have proven harmful. An example of such an unusual product is reported in this case of a sixteen-year-old male who inhaled Arrid Extra-Dry aerosol deodorant and subsequently died following ventricular fibrillation. The only findings at autopsy were cerebral edema, pulmonary edema and generalized visceral congestion.

Cytologic characteristics of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix uteri.

Cytologic characteristics of three cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix uteri are reviewed. The clusters of malignant cells tend to form large acini and mimic the pattern seen in histologic sections. The resemblance to cells of adenocarcinoma of the endometrium is noted. When the acinar pattern is recognized in cervical smears, adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix may be suspected.
