Nifedipine and surgical removal of phaeochromocytoma.

The management of five patients with phaeochromocytoma undergoing surgical removal is described. Pre-operative preparation with phenoxybenzamine and nifedipine for 7 days before surgery prevented excessive fluctuations in cardiovascular parameters in the peri-operative period and resulted in an uneventful recovery.

"Bypass arthritis" after gastroileostomy.

We describe a patient who underwent inadvertent gastroileostomy, and subsequently developed malabsorption, granulomatous hepatitis, arthritis, and reactivation of tuberculosis accompanied by circulating immune complexes and lowered C1q. Surgical correction resulted in marked improvement, with disappearance of arthritis, return to normal of complement levels, and absence of demonstrable circulating immune complexes. Arthritis has not been documented in the spectrum of abnormalities described after gastroileostomy.

Intrarectal dermoid: report of a case.

Intrarectal dermoid is a rare clinical problem, mostly occurring in women. Though it is presumed that anterior rectal dermoids arise in the ovary and erode into the retum, up to date there has been no substantial evidence for this. A 26-year-old woman is described who presented to us with an intrarectal dermoid wherein the stalk connecting the rectal dermoid and the left ovary was clearly demonstrated.

Canidida infection of the upper gastrointestinal tract superadded upon chemical injury with acids.

Two male patients, who presented with Candida albicans infection of the upper gastrointestinal tract, superadded over local mucosal injury due to corrosive chemical agents and chronic alcoholism have been described. Such an association of prior local injury with this type of fungal infection has not been hitherto documented. One of these patients had a gastric antral stricture due to ingestion of concentrated sulfuric acid and Candida esophagitis, whereas the other had severe erosive gastritis and Candida gastritis following ingestion of thiocyanates.
