The typical patient with fat necrosis of the scrotum is a prepuberal heavy set male subject who has extratesticular scrotal masses, usually bilateral, with mild to moderate pain but no systemic complaints or symptons related to voiding. The masses are firm, tender and do not transmit light. With a firm diagnosis expectant treatment will allow spontaneous resolution of the lesions. If doubt exists appropriate surgical intervention is advocated. Hypothermic injury, such as swimming in frigid water, is the most probable etiologic agent.

In approaching a patient suspected of peripheral vascular disease the following signs and symptoms are of key importance (16): 1) Pain in the extremity which is induced by exercise and relieved by rest; pain which is influenced by posture is localized to one digit, is unilateral or is paroxysmal. 2) Impaired pulsations of peripheral arteries. 3) Abnormal color of the skin, particularly when affected by raising or lowering the part. 4) Gangrene, ulceration, impaired nail and hair growth, excessive calluses, or paronychial infections. 5) Unusual warmth or coldness. 7) Swelling, atrophy, or difference in length of extremity. 8) Ausculatory evidence of arteriovenous fistula. 9) Cyanosis or unusual pallor of digits when immersed in cold water. 10) Peripheral neuritis.

Thirty-three undergraduate students (11 males, 11 females taking oral contraceptives, and 11 females not taking oral contraceptives) filled out daily self-reports on pleasant activities, stressful events, moods, and somatic changes for 35 consecutive days. By randomly assigning each male a "pseudo" cycle, the data were analyzed to compare the three samples across the three phases of the menstrual cycle. The results indicated that males reported somewhat more stable but less positive experiences than females. While males reported a stable, low level of pain and water retention throughout the study, both female samples reported increases during the premenstrual and menstrual phases. Reports of negative affect, impaired concentration, and stressful events did not differ by samples, but significant sample by cycle interactions reflected differential increases in the two female samples during the premenstrual and menstrual phases. Subsequent analyses indicated that the experience of stressful events accounted for more of the variance than did cycle phase for these negative mood factors, but not for pain and water retention.

The horse with an abdominal crisis caused by acute gastro-intestinal tract obstruction develops hypovolaemia, haemoconcentration, electrolyte depletion, metabolic acidosis and shock. During preparation for operation, treatment with fluids, antibiotics and bicarbonate will impede metabolic imbalance. Stomach decompression may slow the passage of sodium, water and potassium to the gut lumen, reduce pain and minimize the risk of stomach rupture. Selected laboratory determinations and the monitoring of arterial and venous pressures will provide a measure of security, and serve as a guide to replacement therapy. In the post-surgical period, vigilance must be directed towards potassium and bicarbonate imbalance and adequate hydration.

A series of 24 adult male patients undergoing thoracotomy were found to have a reduction in their cough pressures in the immediate postoperative period to 29 percent of their preoperative values. Cough pressures still averaged only 50 percent of control values one week following surgery, with slow return toward normal over the ensuing three weeks. Pain associated with the surgical wound appeared to be primary factor in the patients' inability to cough effectively. The degree of impairment appeared to be related to the extent of the procedure, pressures being altered less in those with limited incision thoracotomies. Ultrasonically nebulized water mist was found to be effective in all but one patient in inducing significantly higher cough pressures and more effective sputum expectoration. Its use should be considered as a simple method of inducing more effective coughs in the postoperative patient.

Postoperative care for the patient following rhinoplasty begins with the taping, packing, and splinting of the nose. In the immediate postoperative period the patient is encouraged to rest with the head in an elevated position, to take fluids by moutn, and to apply ice water compresses to the eyes. An analgesic sufficiently potent to ablate the pain as well as an evening sedative is prescribed, if needed. The systemic administration of enzymes, antibiotics, and steroids is not utilized by the authors in the postoperative care of rhinoplasty patients. Careful attention to maintaining the position of the nasal dorsum and the removal of any hematoma is essential in the first two postoperative weeks. During the first year following rhinoplasty, participation in contact sports and exposure to the sun are discouraged.

The motility characteristics of the stomach, upper jejunum, and right colon were studied in 25 patients in whom these organs were used to replace the resected esophagus. The pattern of motility in all three replacement organs generally was similar to that recorded in normal individuals by other workers. But the stomach replacement showed a greater percentage of Type 1 waves, and Type II contractions were weaker. Activity in the jejunal replacements was much reduced. A propagated pressure wave was observed on swallowing water in the jejunal replacements. The nature of this wave needs further elucidation. The functional result was good, except in patients with a weak or without an upper esophageal sphincter. Patients experienced no pain during the test and no side effects were observed.

In contrast to the hard lenses the soft lens has enough permeability for oxygen and water-soluble substances, whereas high molecular substances, bacteria and virus cannot penetrate the soft lenses, so long as their surfaces are intact. The two principal production methods, the spin cast method and the lathe-turned method are compared. The duration of wearing of the soft lens depends on the deposits of proteins from the tears on the surface of the lens and the desinfection method. The daily boiling of the lenses shortens their useful life, while chemical desinfection causes besides bacteriolysis, damage of the corneal cell protein. The new cleaners on the base of proteolytic plant enzymes promise good results. For the optical correction of astigmatism with more than 1 cyl, soft lenses with conic outer surface are used or combinations of a soft and a hard lens (Duosystem). The therapeutic use of soft lenses has as aim: protection of the cornea against mechanical irritation, release of pain, protracted administration output of medicaments. Further indications for use: aseptic corneal inflammation and corneal defects.

The MMPI and Moos' Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ) were administered to 60 undergraduate women. Partial correlations between MMPI clinical scales and menstrual and premenstrual MDQ symptom scales were computed with intermenstrual (baseline) symptom reports and response set (Gough's F-K index) statistically controlled MMPI variables tended to correlate with some symptom scales (premenstrual pain, negative affect; menstrual behavior change) but not with others (water retention, arousal). Where correlations did occur, common MMPI scales (Sc, Hs, Hy, Pt) were involved. Results suggest that psychological factors are more closely associated with some areas of menstrual symptomatoloty than with others.

Total body water (TBW) was measured early and late in a menstrual cycle in 56 women, 39 of whom had breast pain. The remainder were asymphtomatic controls. Most women did not conform to the traditional view that there is a premenstrual increase in TBW. In some TBW decreased, while in others there was no change from the early cycle measurement. No TBW pattern correlated with any syndromes of breast pain or with any psychoneurotic profile.
