A study was undertaken to determine fertility in a group of females who as children had been operated on for appendicitis. The 134 women operated on for appendicitis were reviewed. Their ages ranged from 2-18 years at the time of appendectomy. Our data show that perforated appendicitis before puberty has little if any role in the etiology of tubal infertility.

Two groups of each 50 children with maldescensus testis treated by two different techniques of orchiopexy are compared together. Two to five years after operation the localization and size of the testes are recorded. In the group of children with orchiopexy according to Cabot/Nesbit the failure rate was 12%, in contrast to only 6% failures and larger testes in the Petrivalsky/Shoemaker group. Therefore, the technique of Petrivalsky/Shoemaker is recommended, especially in small children.
The 50s represent a hinge age-period during which atherosclerosis is more frequent but arterial disease does not appear to present features differing from those observed in neighbouring age groups. There is of course a higher frequency of atherosclerotic lesions of other arterial territories and a fairly high incidence of diabetes. With respect to the latter disease, apart from the typical association arteritis-diabetes, some cases are simply of atherosclerosis developing at the same time as the diabetes. Arteritis of lower limbs can present as two principal types in patient in their 50s: elective aorto-iliac arterial disease similar to early onset atherosclerosis in younger patients and more diffuse forms more typical of arterial disease in the elderly.
