Chronic obstructive emphysema due to foreign body in the bronchus is extremely rare. A case is described of a vegetable foreign body in the right main bronchus of an infant of 13 months who had obstructive emphysema that was demonstrable on X-ray for three months. A ball-valve mechanism was found at bronchoscopy and the foreign body was removed by bronchotomy. Granulation tissue was absent. Interesting features are discussed and the causes of obstructive emphysema and transradiancy of part or the whole of the lung are briefly mentioned.

Three cases are reported in which a single lung abscess developed following repeated pulmonary embolism. Reasons are given for regarding the emboli as initially aseptic, staphylococcal infection occurring secondarily via the bronchi. The literature is briefly reviewed and the suggestion made that aseptic pulmonary embolism should be considered as a possible ˦tiological factor in cases of lung abscess.

A new method of fixation of the floating segment in a lateral stove-in chest is described. This has been found to give an excellent functional result.

Five cases with unmodified pulmonary tuberculosis in the presence of simple pneumoconiosis responded clinically and radiologically to combined drug therapy.
In contrast, little response to therapy was evident in 17 cases with positive sputa and progressive massive fibrosis. Of these cases 2 improved and 2 died, and none of the remainder showed cavity closure or a definite sputum conversion. Some cases developed drug-resistant tubercle bacilli.
The importance of classifying cases with progressive massive fibrosis by disease extent, before assessing fatality rates, is stressed.

A comparison was made between the proteins in serum and pleural fluid in 52 cases of pleural effusion using the technique of paper electrophoresis.
The results showed a marked difference in the proportion of α2 globulin present in the serum and pleural fluid in the majority of cases of pleural effusion associated with neoplastic disease. It is suggested that these changes might be used as an aid in the differential diagnosis of cases of pleural effusion.
