Radiographs of 88 patients with acute pancreatitis have been reviewed.
2.
Plain films of the abdomen are of little help in making a positive diagnosis of pancreatitis.
3.
A cholecystogram during the first two weeks of the illness is always abnormal.
4.
Barium-meal examination can be done in the X-ray department or at the patient's bedside using portable apparatus. It may be of assistance in diagnosis both of pancreatitis and of its complications, and in following the progress of a pseudopancreatic cyst.
5.
Per-operative pancreatography is simple, probably not very safe, and does not yield as much information as had been hoped.

The records of 52 patients suffering from polycyth˦mia vera have been reviewed. Follow-up has been from eighteen months to fourteen years. The response to radiotherapy has been considered. Remission can equally well be produced by whole-body X irradiation and by radiophosphorus. Radiophosphorus is more elegan and simpler.

The meniscus sign was originally described by Carman as a sign of ulcerating gastric carcinoma.
2.
Inaccurate descriptions of the sign are given in a number of text-books and as a result simple ulcers may be mistakenly diagnosed as malignant.
3.
Five cases are reported as examples of the sign, and for comparison with them radiographs are reproduced of four simple ulcers showing an appearance which is often confused with the meniscus sign.
4.
Carman's sign, although uncommon, has been found by the present authors to be a reliable index of malignancy.

The successful use of urografin in hysterography is reported and the technique discussed. Whilst it is not claimed that urografin is the ideal contrast medium, it has in our experience proved to be the most satisfactory medium yet used.
