Transabdominal cervicoisthmic cerclage: the Riyadh Armed Forces Hospital experience.

Between 1985 and 1996, 17 transabdominal cervicoisthmic cerclage procedures were performed and followed up through 28 pregnancies at Riyadh Armed Forces Hospital, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Fourteen procedures were carried out during pregnancy and three preconceptionally. Twenty-four pregnancies continued beyond 36 weeks of gestation and three were premature deliveries. The material used was an infant feeding tube size 6 and the knot was tied posteriorly. The sole miscarriage was at 6 weeks' gestation. All deliveries were by caesarean section. Fetal survival was 92%. In conclusion, abdominal cerclage is an effective and safe operation which helped the pattern of pregnancy wastage to be restored to normal in selected patients.

B-cell malignancy after low grade T-cell lymphoma.

BACKGROUND: Low grade, small lymphocytic, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, was diagnosed in a 38-year-old woman. Thirty months after the initial diagnosis was made, a population of lymphoid cells with pathologic morphology was found in the patient's peripheral blood (PB). Cell phenotyping was performed and monoclonality was analyzed in cells obtained from a removed lymph node (LN) and the PB of the patient. METHODS: The cell phenotype was examined with immunofluorescence techniques using antibodies against SIg and monoclonal antibodies against CD1, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD8, CD19, and the kappa, and lambda light chains. Gene rearrangement analysis for monoclonality determination was performed with restricted DNA (EcoRI, Hin-dIII and BamHI) hybridized with either 32P-labeled T-cell receptor DNA probe (TcR-beta) or immunoglobulin-heavy chain probe (JH). RESULTS: With regard to the cell population of the removed LN, cell phenotyping showed the predominance of CD4+ T-cells over a polyclonal B-cell population. Gene rearrangement analysis proved the monoclonal nature of the T-cells and the polyclonal nature of the B-cells. As to the PB, gene rearrangement and cell phenotyping of the lymphocytes showed the predominance of monoclonal kappa type B-cells over polyclonal T-cells. CONCLUSIONS: The data obtained suggest two unrelated lymphoproliferative diseases in this patient, expressed as monoclonal T-cell population in LN and as monoclonal B-cell population in PB.
