Ten different oxygen administration devices were tested on volunteers in order to determine their relative efficiency in raising the arterial oxygen tension. The efficiency of any particular device was directly proportional to the oxygen flow into it. Those devices which utilized reservoir bags were the most effective. The nasal catheter and cannula techniques were also quite effective with the cannula appearing to be somewhat preferable because of its greater comfort, especially at high flow rates of oxygen. The importance of proper baffling in those mask type devices that did not utilize reservoir bags was demonstrated.

Sarcoidosis and malakoplakia are granulomatous diseases of obscure etiology. This is the fifth biopsy proved case of sarcoidosis and malakoplakia. The mean age was 42 years and all five cases were women, three Negroes, and in two the race was unknown. Sarcoidosis and malakoplakia have similarities and may be related.

The incidence of relapses was studied in 835 patients in an interval of 3 to 11 years after resection for pulmonary tuberculosis. Success was achieved in 741 patients (88.8 percent); failure was reported in 56 (6.7 percent) and relapse in 38 (4.5 percent) patients. Relapses occurred most often three to five years after operation. The number of relapses was higher in men (5.4 percent) than in women (2.9 percent). The occurrence of relapses was not substantially influenced by the age of the patients operated on. Relapses were most frequently observed after lobectomies with a simultaneous segmental resection, even though this particular intervention was among those least represented in our series. Relapses were most often demonstrated both by bacteriologic and roentgenologic examination. Homolateral changes were most often found on x-ray pictures. Patients with relapses were treated with antituberculosis drugs. Only in six patients was resection repeatedly performed. At the time of the re-examination, 15 patients with relapses were healed, 10 continued with treatment. The condition of three patients was unsatisfactory, namely, in one case for an associated disease and in two cases for tuberculosis. Two patients died, of them one of pulmonary tuberculosis. From the study it follows that nowadays a very low risk of relapses after surgery is to be expected.

A case report of reversed reciprocating tachycardia sensitive to vagal stimulation which produced interesting patterns of coupling is described. The mechanism of reversed reciprocal rhythm is discussed. This arrhythmia and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome can be explained on the basis of anomalous pathway. In the former partial anterograde block through the A-V node is also present.
