A case is presented of a 40 years old female, with an illness of three weeks duration, characterized by right upper quadrant fullness, pain and tenderness to palpation. Subsequently, her X ray studies showed a radiolucenly in the liver, with calcified solitary-hepatic cyst. A review is made of the pertinent literature, and it is stressed the diagnostic clues between a congenital and a parasitic hepatic cyst, in order to proceed to its proper therapy. Brief considerations of the present knowledge of the congenital calcified hepatic cyst and management are done.

It is proposed to search if by immunological means it is possible to distinguish eosinophilia produced by the filaria Onchocerca volvulus from other eosinophiliae. The proposed methods also seem to allow the detection of the presence of the specific antibodies in other hematic cells.

Familial frequency of malignant neoplasms from 20 children with dermatomyositis was investigated and compared with 225 controls. Eight patients with dermatomyositis (40 per cent) had nine family members with a malignant tumour; this frequency is significantly higher than those found in the controls with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (P less than 0.01), neoplasms (P less than 0.01), and a variety of diseases (P less than 0.05). This finding and the known association of neoplasm-dermatomyositis might suggest an hereditary predisposing factor, possibly a subtle inmune deficiency, common for tumours and dermatomyositis.

A group of forty patients with generalized peritonitis was studied comparing their clinical evolution and mortality with the plasma coloidosmotic pressure values (COP). Twentynine patients survived without complications (Group I) this patients had the higher mean COP values, 17.56 mm Hg at the beggining and 19.06 mm Hg at the end of the study. Three patients showed complications directly related with peritonitis but finally survived (Group II). Their mean COP values were 16.08 mm Hg at the beggining and 13.44 mm Hg at the end. Eight patients died (Group III) lower mean COP values were obtained in this group; 13.5 at the begging and 11.94 at the end. Despite the same kind of medical and surgical treatment, response was very different in each group. Lower values of COP were found as clinical avolution worsened. A very low inicial value or failure to raise it despite the treatment may be considered as a bad prognosis sing.
本文对40例广泛性腹膜炎患者的临床演变及病死率与血浆结肠渗透压值(COP)进行了比较。29例患者无并发症存活(第一组),这些患者的平均COP值较高,研究开始时为17.56 mm Hg,研究结束时为19.06 mm Hg。3例患者出现与腹膜炎直接相关的并发症,但最终存活(II组)。他们的平均COP值开始时为16.08 mm Hg,结束时为13.44 mm Hg。8例患者死亡(III组),该组平均COP值较低;开头13.5,结尾11.94。尽管采用相同的药物和手术治疗方法,但两组患者的反应差异很大。COP值随着临床演变的恶化而降低。一个非常低的初始值或未能提高,尽管治疗可视为预后不良。

The Aortic Scanning with 99mTc was done initially by powell in 1966. This radioisotope is the ideal for dinamic studies. In this paper we purpose a new method in order to label erythrocytes, which allows the radiactive bolus sended for the vascular tree to be more compact (TCK-11 99mTc). Seventy abdominal aortic scanning in normal persons were done, fifty with TCK-11 and twenty with 99mTc with Powell's technique. The images were obtain from video-tape recorder. By this way it was possible to get cuantitative determinations from Aorta, Renal and Iliac arteries. These terminations can be very useful for diagnosis of several arterial abnormalities.
