Physiologic response patterns to occlusion of clinically significant arteriovenous fistulas.

Seven patients with hemodynamically significant arteriovenous fistulas for dialysis angioaccess were studied by multivarient computer analysis of physiologic data derived from cardiogreen dye dilution curves and A-VO2 before and after acute occlusion of their fistulas and prior to clinical therapy. Three patterns of response were characterized. These patterns seemed to be related to the innate ventricular contractility status, the type of medications, the presence of autonomic neuropathy, and their interplay with alterations in preload and afterload with fistula occlusion. In one patient, the response pattern precluded banding or occlusion of the fistula. In the remainder, the physiolobic responses permitted treatment by banding or occlusion. It seems advisable to adequately evaluate the physiologic response patterns of patients with hemodynamically significant arteriovenous fistulas prior to definitive treatment.

Circulating immune complexes after kidney transplantation.

Sera from patients who had received renal allografts were studied for the presence of circulating immune complexes by using platelet aggregation technique combined with density gradient centrifugation. A simple and highly reproducible modification of the platelet aggregation technique, employing the use of relatively small amounts of blood from pretested donors as the source for platelets, is described. Immune complexes were detected in post-transplantation sera from 3 out of 16 patients. The development of a persistent immune complex state as a consequence of grafting was concluded in one patient.

Typhlitis due to Balantidium coli in captive lowland gorillas.

Typhlitis caused by Balantidium coli and requiring surgical resection occurred in three captive lowland gorillas over a 30-month period. Not one of the other gorillas in the colony or their keepers was ill. B. coli is distributed widely geographically and widely among mammals. Asymptomatic commensalism predominates, but invasion of the colonic mucosa can produce diarrhea and dysentery and set the stage for local or systemic spread.
