1.
Eight cases demonstrating various forms of intra-pulmonary positive pressure phenomena, occurring in infancy and childhood, are presented.
2.
Tension developmental cysts and obstructive emphysema due to congenital atresia of a bronchus or bronchioles are not uncommon causes of acute asphyxia during the first few weeks of life.
3.
The radiological differentiation between tension cysts, obstructive emphysema and tension pneumothorax is difficult and unreliable.
4.
Needling of the chest in these conditions is dangerous.
5.
Exploratory thoracotomy and excision of the ballooned segment or lobe may prove a life-saving emergency surgical procedure.

A comparison is made of the progress with regard to resolution of fluid of 16 steroid-treated and 14 otherwise-treated acute tuberculous effusions of recent onset.
In the cases treated with ACTH (40 units daily) or prednisone (20 mg. daily) supported by streptomycin and isoniazid, the fluid absorbed dramatically without the need for other than diagnostic aspiration.

Diabetes mellitus occurs in a high percentage of patients with acromegaly.
A most unusual case is described with the very rare combination of pulmonary tuberculosis, diabetes mellitus, diabetic neuropathy, pyogenic infections, cardiomegaly and arthritis, all complicating long-standing acromegaly.

1.
A case in which a myxoma was successfully removed from the left atrium is described.
2.
The tumour was removed via the right atrium under hypothermia.
3.
The diagnosis was not made before the operation, but the tumour was removed through a trans-sternal incision after suture of the original postero-lateral thoracotomy.

(1)
Experiences with bronchographic tomography in pulmonary tuberculosis, based on a series of 218 sets of tomobronchograms, are described.
(2)
This method of investigation yielded information of clinical importance in 15 per cent. of the cases examined.
(3)
As considerations of time and cost make tomobronchography unsuitable for routine use, an attempt has been made to indicate the type of case in which it may be most profitably employed.
