Endoscopy in hernia at the esophageal hiatus.

Endoscopy is useful for confirming diagnosis of hiatal hernia as made by x-ray examination, for establishing the diagnosis when x-ray examinations do not disclose the herniation, and for observation of resultant abnormalities in the affected area. The authors' experience with gastroscopy and esophagoscopy in hiatal hernia is reported and the techniques and usual findings in these procedures are summarized.

Amebiasis masquerading as appendicitis.

In fifteen cases of amebiasis masquerading as appendicitis, the important findings were nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, pain in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen, fever, and leukocytosis. Amebiasis ought to be considered and appropriate studies carried out in differential diagnosis of cases in which symptoms indicate acute, subacute or "chronic" appendicitis. Depending on indications, the studies should include radiography with barium enema, sigmoidoscopy, complement fixation test, a minimum of nine stool examinations, a stool culture, and examination of purged stools unless this is contraindicated.
