In AIDS lymph node biopsy is important both for grading and for differential diagnosis. Skin biopsy is used for identifying Kaposi's sarcoma, which is present in about a third of AIDS cases. Authors have performed 69 biopsies in local anaesthesia taking the necessary precautions as for HBsAg-positive subjects.
The prognostic significance of age, sex, location of the tumor in the various lobes, size, histological type, node metastases, local extent and stage has been studied in a series of 742 surgically resected lung carcinomas. The histological type was a very important prognostic factor: the highest survival was observed in epidermoid carcinomas, followed by adenocarcinomas, anaplastic large cell carcinomas, and anaplastic small cell carcinomas. The stage, as well, except for the adenocarcinoma, bore heavily on the prognosis; however, in small stage I tumours, the postoperative survival was independent from the histological type. The presence of lymph node metastases resulted in an extremely poor survival, except for the epidermoid carcinoma. The size of the tumours, excluding adenocarcinomas, was an important prognostic factor provided lymph node metastases were absent. No significant differences in survival according to the location in different lobes could be ascertained.
On July 13th, 1888, Giovanni Martinotti (1857-1928) announced in Torino the feasibility of a total pancreatectomy in the dog. The essential details for a successful outcome of the operation, as described by Martinotti, were employed by Oscar Minkowski (1859-1931) in Strassburg for the demonstration of diabetes after total removal of pancreas in the dog, on May 22nd, 1889. Martinotti's work deserves a reevaluation in the history of diabetology.
