Carcinoma penis.

In the present study 90 cases of carcinoma penis were studied. The disease is more common after the age of 40 years; phimosis was found to be most important predisposing factor. Most common presentation was proliferative lesion with commonest involvement of glans penis. All the cases were of squamous cell carcinoma except one case of malignant melanoma. Clinical determination of lymph node metastasis is falacious as there was discrepancy between clinical and histopathological stage of the disease in 26.67% of cases. Therefore lymph node biopsy at the time of primary surgery is advocated. The result of total amputation is better than other mode of treatment.

Effect on mental stress on intermediate carbohydrate-and lipid-metabolism.

Changes in blood levels of Glucose, Pyruvic acid, Lactic acid, Glycogen, Free Fatty Acids and total Serum Cholesterol have been studied in normal healthy human adults under the effect of mental stresses of pre-examination tension and pre-operative apprehension. A highly significant rise in all the parameters was noted.
