Abstract

At the conclusion of a Symposium on 15-16 December 2000 organized in his honour, Michel Fardeau gave a short talk, in which he tried to epitomize the essential philosophy of his medical life. Having been privileged to attend that meeting, amongst Michel's many other friends from various parts of the world, we asked his permission to publish those remarks in this journal. We hope that the readers of Acta Myologica will feel the same emotion that we had when we listened to Michel's deeply moving words, from the heart.

Hearing preservation surgery in vestibular schwannoma.

OBJECTIVES: To study the effect of pre-operative hearing level and tumour size on the hearing outcome of hearing preservation surgery for vestibular schwannoma. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: A review of literature conducted at Gruppo Otologico, a tertiary referral centre for neurotology and skull base surgery. RESULTS: A total of 1993 patients in 16 publications addressing the topic of hearing preservation surgery in vestibular schwannoma were analysed. The American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery hearing classification system was the classification upon which we based our analysis. CONCLUSION: Defining hearing preservation as class-A hearing, there was a strong inverse relationship between pre-operative hearing and post-operative hearing levels and between tumour size and post-operative hearing levels.

Multihormonal resistance to parathyroid hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, and other hormonal and neurosensory stimuli in patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism.

In patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism, hormonal resistance first affects parathyroid hormone (PTH), which leads to calcipenia, a decrease in renal vitamin D activation, and a tendency to bone receptor remodeling. However, because G proteins are ubiquitously distributed, multiple hormonal resistance occurs in pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia and type Ic, impairing responses to other calciotropic hormones (PTHrP, calcitonin), TSH, and also pituitary and hypothalamic hormones, and to neurosensory stimuli. The diversity of multihormonal resistance contributes to the various phenotypes of the disease. Some clinical discomfort and medical consequences of the disease can be treated or prevented with hormone supplementation or modulation.
