Résumé

Aortopulmonary window is an uncommon congenital cardiac defect. Most infants presenting with aortopulmonary window will require conventional surgical repair. Experience with transcatheter closure of aortopulmonary window is limited. We report the case of a 9-year-old girl with aortopulmonary window, in whom transcatheter closure was performed successfully using Amplatzer ductal occluder device.

Résumé

BACKGROUND: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are emerging as effective agents for preventing microvascular complications of diabetes. Losartan (angiotensin II antagonist) has an antihypertensive efficacy equivalent to ACE inhibitors, however its role in microvascular complications is not yet known. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We studied the efficacy of losartan (50 mg once daily for 12 weeks) on albuminuria, peripheral and autonomic neuropathy in 25 normotensive microalbuminuric type 2 diabetics who were asymptomatic for neuropathy. RESULTS: Mean age was 46.6 +/- 4.34 years with the average duration of diabetes being 8.1 +/- 1.54 years. Albuminuria improved significantly from 54 +/- 9.35 mg/L to 32.8 +/- 25 mg/L (Paired student's t-test, P=0.0005) after therapy. Autonomic neuropathy was observed in 64% while 76% had peripheral neuropathy; but there was no improvement with losartan. The duration of diabetes had a negative correlation with autonomic neuropathy. It also had a similar negative correlation with median and common peroneal nerve motor conduction velocities (Pearson's correlation coefficient, r = -0.53, P<0.01 and r = -0.56, P<0.01 respectively) implying that autonomic and peripheral neuropathy worsen as a diabetic ages. However, no correlation existed between albuminuria and autonomic or peripheral nerve function. CONCLUSION: Autonomic and peripheral neuropathy are highly prevalent in normotensive microalbuminuric diabetic patients. Losartan remarkably improves albuminuria but a similar benefit in autonomic or peripheral neuropathy is not seen over 12 weeks. The future may see a defining role for losartan in microvascular complications in normotensive diabetics.

Résumé

A 55 year old female was admitted as a case of pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) of 2 months duration. She had developed throat ache, progressive dysphagia for both solids and liquids, dry cough and retrosternal pain for one week. Examination revealed fever, tachycardia, tachypnoea and a soft tissue warm tender, erythematous, non-fluctuant swelling in lower anterior neck with chest findings suggestive of bilateral pleural effusion. Plain X-rays of the neck and chest strengthened the clinical suspicion of cellulitis of lower neck with bilateral pleural effusion. CT scan confirmed the radiologic findings and also revealed pericardial effusion and thickening; small mediastinal lymphadenopathy and mediastinitis. Patient responded to parenteral antibiotics (ceftriaxone and metronidazole) and hydrocortisone with complete resolution in 10 days.

Résumé

The Basel Familial Cancer Study was established in 1982. Data collection and statistical analysis suggest that genetic mechanisms play an important role in most cancer types. This is illustrated in breast and colorectal cancer patients whose first degree relatives were studied. The establishment of a familial cancer registry is most helpful for cancer risk determinations, surveillance and management programmes, identification of new cancer prone genotypes and etiological family studies. The family history should be included into future cancer control activities.
