RESUMO
The gastric volvulus is an infrequent entity requiring surgical treatment in both the acute and chronic cases. The case of an 81-year old female patient attended for an episode of gastric obstruction caused by a volvulus and whose simple stomach radiography showed an image of gastric emphysema is reported. The possible causes of gastric emphysema and its differential diagnosis with emphysematous gastritis are discussed.

A rapid and direct differential pulse polarographic method for the determination of zine in insulin preparations is described. Optimum conditions were studied using 0.2 M acetate buffer (pH 4.1) as the supporting electrolyte. Agreement between the results by direct analysis and those by the procedure involving pressurized digestion was satisfactory.
