We report a rare case of Basedow's disease associated with high output heart failure and angina pectoris over the age of 80 years. An 85-year-old woman was admitted with palpitation, finger tremor, hyperidrosis and weight loss. Basedow's disease was diagnosed by physical (diffuse goiter) and laboratory (free T3 19.4 pg/ml, free T4 > 8.0 ng/dl, TSH < 0.1 microU/ml, TRAb positive, 123I uptake high) findings and was treated with methimazole. Chest oppression and dyspnea on exertion with negative T wave, cardiomegaly and pulmonary congestion appeared after methimazole...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the safety and effectiveness of ZOLADEX depot (goserelin) in the therapy of endometriosis (study No. 9393CZ/0001). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A multicentric prospective open study of 60 women with endometriosis. R-AFS score of pelvic endomemtriosis was established in patients suffering from pelvalgia, dyspareunia and dysmenorrhoea during pre-treatment laparoscopy. The effect of Zoladex depot applied subcutaneously were evaluated by gynaecological and laboratory examinations, including assessment of subjective complaints every four weeks in the course of six months...

The authors present three familial cases of Schonfeld's type I pachyonychia. This syndrome represents the association of pachyonychia with palmoplantar keratodermia, frictionnal keratosis and bullae, hyperidrosis, oral leucokeratosis. This genotype is present in the remaining family. Traumatisms produce or increase several symptoms as: a) palmoplantar keratodermia: voluminous callus confined to site of pressure; b) hyperkeratosis of the nails, with hyperplasia and papillomatosis of the nail bed and the hyponychium due to the frequents microtraumatisms of the finger-pulps; c) oral leucokeratosis...

In a single blind cross-over study, the skin compatibility and comfort of cotton inner gloves were compared with a special astringent cream in 64 car painters. 38/64 (59%) painters preferred cream under disposable polyethene gloves, while 20/64 (33%) preferred cotton gloves under polyethylene gloves. This difference was not statistically significant. Persons with a tendency to hyperidrosis under gloves tended to prefer cotton inner gloves. According to preference, a special astringent cream may be a suitable alternative to cotton inner gloves...

The ganglionated lumbar sympathetic chains lie on the lateral aspects of the bodies of the lumbar vertebrae and not more laterally as in the thorax where the chain lies in relation to the heads and necks of the ribs. Lumbar ganglia vary in number. They are best numbered according to the spinal nerve to which the particular ganglion sends its postganglionic fibers, but, at operation, the surgeon is unable to obtain this kind of information. It is customary to mark the extent of resection by the application of a dura clip to the proximal and distal ends of the trunk...
