Single-view mammography screening. Three-year follow-up of interval cancer cases.

In 1974, screening trials indicated that both the sensitivity and specificity of single-view mammography are high. During the subsequent three years, 11 cases of breast carcinoma have been detected in the study population of 6,845 women aged 40 or older. The average incidence was three cases per year, compared to the expected rate of 8.9. The age-adjusted incidence rate in 1975, the year after screening, was 55.4 per 100,000, which is 40% of the expected rate of 140. In 1976 it was 75.9, or 54% of the expected rate of 141. These results support the view that single-view mammography is an efficient screening method, at least in the subject population described.

Experiences with the hematoxylin basic fuchsin picric acid staining method for morphologic diagnosis of myocardial ischemia - an experimental study in forensic pathology.

An investigation was performed on 148 medicolegal autopsy cases with the purpose of obtaining experience with the hematoxylin basic fuchsin acid staining method for morphologic diagnosis of early myocardial ischemia. A comparative study was performed on rats with induced myocardial infarcts. The uptake of the basic fuchsin stain in myocardial sections agreed well with eosinophilia, often occurred when myocardial infarction was suspected, but very often yielded false positive and negative results. This lack of reliability probably depended on the high sensitivity of the staining procedure, degree of autolysis, fixation time, thickness of the sections and mainpulative lesions. Although the HBFP-technique does not seem sufficiently reliable in medicolegal autopsy cases it probably produces accurate results under controlled experimental conditions.
