ABSTRACT
The effect of abortion on serum concentration of thyroid hormones was studied in 11 normal women. After abortion, serum free and total T3 fall significantly, while free and total reverse T3, T4, TSH and TBG in serum show no significant variation. These data suggest that surgical stress in normal subjects may only influence 5'-deiodinase activity, and that the peripheral conversion of T4 to active T3 and inactive rT3 are controlled by different mechanisms.

A retrospective analysis was made of a 10-year clinical material concerning uterine malignant tumours. Out of 502 patients treated in that period, 9 (1.79%) developed clinically diagnosed lung metastases. The occurrence of lung metastases from cervical carcinoma proved to be 1.35% (295 patients) and from endometrial carcinoma 2.33% (171 patients). Out of 36 patients with uterine sarcoma, one developed lung metastases (2.77%). The diagnosis of lung mestastases was made by X-ray and scintigraphy, and in their theraphy cytostatics were used with paliative results.
