ABSTRACT
Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy (AILD) is a rare condition, which is difficult to diagnose as it mimics tuberculosis or lymphoma both clinically and radiologically. A case of AILD with pulmonary involvement that was initially mistaken for tuberculosis on fine needle aspiration cytology and put on antituberculous treatment for three months, is presented here. The case was subsequently diagnosed to lymph node biopsy as one of AILD.

Se detallan signos y síntomas de cuadros subclínicos de deficienias nutricionales, en pacientes atendidos en consultorios odontológicos. Descubrirlos a tiempo, permite efectuar acciones de protección y prevención de la salud, induciendo cambios en su alimentación.

A presente revisao aborda os diversos aspectos envolvidosna fisiopatologia da ascite em pacientes cirroticos. A hipertensao porta, a hipoproteinemia, o aumento da producao de linfa hepatica e o papel da membrana peritoneal sao considerados. Especial destaque e dado aos mecanismos responsaveis pela retencao renal de sodio, onde e enfatizada a participacao dos diversos sistemas vasoativos. Conclui-se apresentando as tres teorias atualmente aceitas na explicacao dos mecanismos de formacao do fluido peritoneal

One hundred and thirty-seven patients attending the gynaecological endocrine clinic at Maharaj Nakhon Chiang Mai hospital between April 1, 1982 and July 31, 1987 were studied. Detailed history, physical and pelvic examination were obtained on all patients, followed by progesterone withdrawal test and other appropriate laboratory studies including thyroid and reproductive hormone profiles. The most common cause of secondary amenorrhea in this study was hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction (54.7%), not unlike those reports from other foreign series. However, it was notable that nearly 40 per cent of our patients in this group experienced amenorrhea after discontinuation of contraceptive steroids. Premature ovarian failure was the second leading cause of amenorrhea in our patients (13.9%) and, perhaps, deserve future detailed studies. The other causes of amenorrhea in decreasing frequency were: hyperprolactinemia (11.7%), hypothalamic-pituitary failure (8.0%), Asherman's syndrome (5.1%) and androgen excess (2.9%). Primary hypothyroidism was a rare cause of amenorrhea in this study.
