The Relationship

Abstract OBJECTIVE. We investigated the relationship between Lund-Mackay scale, olfactory bulb depth and width, and Keros classification in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). MATERIAL AND METHODS. In this retrospective study, paranasal sinus computed tomography (PNSCT) images of 47 patients with CRSwNP and 47 healthy subjects (control) were evaluated. In the CRSwNP group, PNSCT scans were assessed based on Lund-Mackay scale. In both groups, olfactory fossae (OF) depth and width, and Keros classification were evaluated. RESULTS. The total Lund-Mackay score was 17.1±5.9. There were no significant differences between OF depth and width values of the nasal polyps group and control group. For both groups, Type II Keros was the most detected type; secondly, Keros type I and rarely Keros type III were detected. There was no significant correlation between Lund-Mackay score (All items and total score) and OF depth and width, and Keros type. There were negative correlations between ipsilateral OF depth and width (p<0.05), whereas there were positive correlations between contralateral OF depth and width (p>0.05). Keros type was positively correlated between ipsilateral and contralateral OF depth and Keros type (p<0.05). In older patients, left OF depth and Keros type decreased (p<0.05). CONCLUSION. As a conclusion, there was no correlation between Lund-Mackay score and olfactory fossa dimensions (depth and width). When considering age, one could notice that Keros type decreased in older patients.

Abstract Background: Persistent truncus arteriosus (TA) is a rare congenital heart condition with reported incidence of 1.2% among all congenital heart malformations. Majority of patients with TA die early in childhood due to complications such as heart failure. Case presentation: An 18-year-old adult with unsuspected congenital heart disease since birth, not detected in childhood. Six months prior to his presentation, he complained of easy fatigability and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. Chest radiography demonstrated normal heart size and electrocardiogram showed biventricular hypertrophy. Echocardiograph showed truncus arteriosus type II with large outlet ventricular septal defect. The patient was put on medical therapy including bed rest, fluid restriction and then surgical correction was done. The patient’s symptom improved after the surgical correction.Conclusion: TA is a rare, serious congenital heart defect that can be detected in prenatal period by routine ultrasound screening. It is also very rare for TA to be silent and reach adulthood without clinical manifestation and a diagnosis.

Spinal Meningitis

In twenty-five consecutive cases in which nasopharyngeal cultures have been made from patients suffering from bacteriologically proved cerebro-spinal meningitis, meningococci have been obtained.A striking similarity between the organisms from the two sites has been shown to exist for not only are they of the same agglutinable type but in the majority of instances individual peculiarities of agglutination have corresponded. The closeness of relation has been further demonstrated by the carbohydrate reaction in one case in which the unusual property of bleaching glucose litmus broth to a yellow colour was possessed by both organisms. Nevertheless, in a certain number of instances, though organisms of a different agglutinable type have not been isolated, as by other workers, there have been found certain minor variations of agglutination. That most if not all of these variations are due to alteration of the agglutinable capacity of one of the organisms seems probable, as in the six cases where most marked difference existed (Nos. 1, 3 and 24 of Type I and Nos. 15, 16 and 18 of Type II) the chances of the other alternative, namely that a second infection had happened in each case to be of the same agglutinable type, are remote.In the twenty-five cases the proportion of the types present has been shown to agree with that found by other workers during the same period. Seven of the infections (28 per cent.) have been due to Type I and eighteen (72 per cent.) to Type II.Ten of the cases have occurred in children under the age of two years, and the proportion of the two types among them has been approximately the same as among older patients.The writer is indebted to the members of the staff of St Bartholomew's Hospital for permission to publish their cases, and gratefully acknowledges the encouragement and assistance of Professor Andrewes at whose instigation these investigations were conducted.

Cardiovascular Anomalies

A 5-week-old male mixed terrier with persistent truncus arteriosus had a grade IV cardiac murmur. Cardiovascular anomalies noted at necropsy included ventricular septal defect in addition to complete persistent truncus arteriosus. The latter originated from the right ventricle and served as an aorta, also providing aortic branches that included a modified bronchial artery. This malformation closely resembled type IV persistent truncus arteriosus in humans, however, anatomically it should be classified as type I because of a patent small hypoplastic pulmonary artery.

Mid Term Results

Aims The aim of this retrospective multicentre study was to evaluate mid-term results of the operative treatment of Monteggia-like lesions and to determine the prognostic factors that influence the clinical and radiological outcome. Patients and Methods A total of 46 patients (27 women and 19 men), with a mean age of 57.7 years (18 to 84) who had sustained a Monteggia-like lesion were followed up clinically and radiologically after surgical treatment. The Mayo Modified Wrist Score (MMWS), Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS), Broberg and Morrey Score, and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score were used for evaluation at a mean of 65 months (27 to 111) postoperatively. All ulnar fractures were stabilized using a proximally contoured or precontoured locking compression plate. Mason type I fractures of the radial head were treated conservatively, type II fractures were treated with reconstruction, and type III fractures with arthroplasty. All Morrey type II and III fractures of the coronoid process was stabilized using lag screws. Results Good results were found for the MMWS, with a mean of 88.4 (40 to 100). There were 29 excellent results (63%), nine good (20%), seven satisfactory (15%), and one poor (2%). Excellent results were obtained for the MEPS, with a mean of 90.7 (70 to 100): 31 excellent results (68%), 13 good (28%), and two fair (4%). Good results were also found for the functional rating index of Broberg and Morrey, with a mean score of 86.6 (57 to 100). There were 16 excellent results (35%), 22 good (48%), six fair (13%), and two poor (4%). The mean DASH score was 15.1 (0 to 55.8). Two patients had delayed wound healing; four patients had nonunion requiring bone grafting. One patient had asymptomatic loosening of the radial head prosthesis. Conclusion Monteggia-like lesions are rare. With correct identification, classification, and understanding using CT scans followed by appropriate surgical treatment that addresses all components of the injury, good to excellent mid-term results can be achieved.

The Type I simple cold block device was described by Bullivant and Ames in 1966 and represented the product of the first successful effort to simplify the equipment required to do sophisticated freeze-cleave techniques. Bullivant, Weinstein and Someda described the Type II device which is a modification of the Type I device and was developed as a collaborative effort at the Massachusetts General Hospital and the University of Auckland, New Zealand. The modifications reduced specimen contamination and provided controlled specimen warming for heat-etching of fracture faces. We have now tested the Mass. General Hospital version of the Type II device (called the “Type II-MGH device”) on a wide variety of biological specimens and have established temperature and pressure curves for routine heat-etching with the device.

Experimental infection of chimpanzees with non-A, non-B hepatitis (NANB) or with delta agent hepatitis results in the appearance of characteristic cytoplasmic alterations in the hepatocytes. These alterations include spongelike inclusions (Type I), attached convoluted membranes (Type II), tubular structures (Type III), and microtubular aggregates (Type IV) (Fig. 1). Type I, II and III structures are, by association, believed to be derived from endoplasmic reticulum and may be morphogenetically related. Type IV structures are generally observed free in the cytoplasm but sometimes in the vicinity of type III structures. It is not known whether these structures are somehow involved in the replication and/or assembly of the putative NANB virus or whether they are simply nonspecific responses to cellular injury. When treated with uranyl acetate, type I, II and III structures stain intensely as if they might contain nucleic acids. If these structures do correspond to intermediates in the replication of a virus, one might expect them to contain DNA or RNA and the present study was undertaken to explore this possibility.

Methylotrophic bacteria play an Important role in the environment in the oxidation of methane and methanol. Extensive intracytoplasmic membranes (ICM) have been associated with the oxidation processes in methylotrophs and chemolithotrophic bacteria. Classification on the basis of ICM arrangement distinguishes 2 types of methylotrophs. Bundles or vesicular stacks of ICM located away from the cytoplasmic membrane and extending into the cytoplasm are present in Type I methylotrophs. In Type II methylotrophs, the ICM form pairs of peripheral membranes located parallel to the cytoplasmic membrane. Complex cell wall structures of tightly packed cup-shaped subunits have been described in strains of marine and freshwater phototrophic sulfur bacteria and several strains of methane oxidizing bacteria. We examined the ultrastructure of the methylotrophs with particular view of the ICM and surface structural features, between representatives of the Type I Methylomonas albus (BG8), and Type II Methylosinus trichosporium (OB-36).
