[Early and late results following 244 reconstructions of the internal carotid artery with contralateral internal carotid occlusion].

Between December 1974 and March 1985 244 reconstructions of the internal carotid artery with contralateral occlusion were performed. 7.3% of the patients were asymptomatic, 48.4% had typical transient ischemic attacks and 44.3% had a completed stroke. The postoperative mortality was 2.0% and a permanent neurologic deficit occurred in 3.3%. An intraluminal shunt was used in only 5.4%. The long-term survival rate after 5 years was 65.2 +/- 4.8%. In the follow-up period of 103 months 9.2% of the patients had a new stroke.

Ifosfamide treatment of advanced ovarian cancer.

To determine the efficacy of ifosfamide in the treatment of advanced ovarian malignancy, 20 patients with stages III and IV epithelial ovarian cancer were treated with this agent. Of these, 15 received the drug as primary chemotherapy. The response rate was 33%, with a median duration of remission of 13 months. Five patients were treated with ifosfamide after failure with previous chemotherapy; no responses were seen in this group. Hematuria was observed in 2% of the treatment cycles with the use of the antidote mercapto-ethan-sulfonate acid. This study shows that though ifosfamide is an active drug in the treatment of patients with advanced ovarian cancer, it is not superior to traditional single alkylating agents.

Adult↗

[Nutrient and fiber content of infant food].

The food given to 50 infants growing up in their family and 23 infants nursed in crèches was chemically analyzed in order to ascertain the nutrient and dietary fibre contents. The babies' age was between 6 and 12 months. The determination of energy percentages revealed a clear shift in favour of carbohydrates. Based on 1000 calories, the infants received 7.5-8.5 g of dietary fibre per day. Sodium content was too high whereas the iron intake was definitely insufficient. The baby food prepared in the family only showed slight differences in comparison with the food administered in crèches.

Dietary Carbohydrates↗

[Fiber and nutritional content of infant food].

50 mothers with healthy, already weaned babies of between 6 and 9 months old took part of the study. The babies consumed 7.5 g of dietary fibre per 1000 calories daily. The sources of energy ratio showed a definite trend in favour of carbohydrates. The proportion of sodium was extremely high. The supply of iron proved to be greatly deficient.

A comparison of two techniques of detecting vesico-ureteric reflux.

Indirect voiding radionuclide cystourethrography has been compared with micturating cystourethrography in 57 children with urinary tract infections. A quasi-quantitative technique utilizing a mini-computer to optimize the images from the gamma camera has been shown to be at least as sensitive as conventional radiological techniques but to give these results without catheterization, at a lower radiation dose and at lower cost.
