Lithiase urinaire et infection: a propos de 372 cas

Among 372 cases of urinary lithiasis seen in the last 10 years in the paediatric surgery service of children hospital of Tunis, 48,1% have presented urinary infection. 109 cases with obstructive lithiasis have presented a high urinary infection. Among these 109 cases, 30 [16,7%] have presented directly a chronic pyelonephritis. In 10 cases the condition of the kidney have required nephrectomy. In 61 cases, the infection have persisted or recured after treatment of lithiasis. A precocious diagnosis and an appropriated anti-infection treatment have to ameliorate the prognosis of the disease

Diagnostic des angusties pelviennes par la radiopelvimetrie a deux cliches a propos de 102 cas

The authors present a study of 102 radiopelvimetries practiced in Charles Nicolle Hospital during one year, according to a technic realizing the profile and Ferstrorn plates only. The effectued measures on these plates are reported on the Duvauferrier diagram, allowing, however, in the major totality of the cases to track down the pelvian angusties. The Thoms' plate, that strongly irradiates the foetal gonads, becomes consequently useless. The obstetrical prognosis may be ameliorated by the micro-computer use, with including the radiopelvimetry data, the B.I.P. measured with the echography and with other factors of dystocia

40 families of pigmentar retinopathies were studied: the illness manifest at the end of the first decade or at the beginning of the second. It is often associated to other congenital affections.

This transmission is favorized by the consanguineous marriages frequency, and the illness may appear in 25% of the families in which we know cases, and that what renders an account to give importance of the genetic advice

Cataractes congenitales et heredite
