Two cases of tension pneumocephalus produced by iatrogenic causes are described. Dural tears were produced by a pin of a Mayfield head-holder in one case and by pansinectomy in the other case. In addition, both cases had procedures which induce low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), such as a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt or lumbar punctures. For production of tension pneumocephalus in these cases, CSF diversionary procedures may play an important role in the accumulation of air in the intracranial space.

Schwann cell tumor occurring in the intestines is rare . A 68-year-old female came to our hospital because of hematemesis. Barium enema and colonoscopic examination revealed submucosal tumor in the sigmoid colon. Laboratory data showed mild anemia . No other abnormal finding was found in the blood chemistry. Tumor marker levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA19-9, alpha feto protein (AFP) and neuron specific enolase (NSE) were within normal limits. The exploratory laparotomy confirmed a large sigmoid colon tumor. She received sigmoid colectomy. The resected specimen was a submucosal tumor with central depression, measuring 4.7×3.5×3.0cm in size. The cut surface of the tumor was yellowish hue with necrosis. Histological examination showed spindle-shaped tumor cells with palisading comma-shaped nuclei and the nuclear pleomorphism. Immunohistochemical examination revealed that the tumor was positive for S-100 protein staining, and negative for Actin and for H.H.F. staining. These findings showed that this tumor was of Schwann cell origin. We report here the case in detail of a schwannoma in the sigmoid colon.

Ampullary tumors are diagnosed by endoscopic biopsy of the ampulla of Vater. We encountered a rare case of acute pancreatitis following endoscopic biopsy of the ampulla. A 53-year-old man referred to our hospital for detailed examination of a suspected tumor of the ampulla of Vater. We conducted endoscopic biopsy from the ampulla. He developed severe abdominal pain four hours after the procedure. The serum amylase and serum lipase were elevated and abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed pancreatic enlargement and diffuse stranding of the peri-pancreatic fat, compatible with the findings of acute pancreatitis. We diagnosed the patient as having acute pancreatitis caused by endoscopic biopsy of the ampulla of Vater. Conservative therapy improved his condition, however, a large pancreatic walled-off necrosis (WON) developed. Therefore, we performed endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided cyst drainage on the 74th day after admission. The WON diminished gradually in size and the symptoms disappeared, and the patient was discharged in good physical condition on the 137th day after admission. In this case, the ampullary biopsy may have caused mucosal edema or intraductal hematoma, resulting in pancreatic duct obstruction. It is important for endoscopists both to be aware of this potential complication following endoscopic biopsy of the ampulla and to inform the patients about possible complications of this procedure.

A study was undertaken to compare Pediatric Malignancy at Kurume (Japan) and Karachi (Pakistan) with reference to international data collected over the years, in order to identify essential differences between developed and developing conditions and factors influencing the etio-pathogenesis of pediatric cancer. The study was retrospective encompassing all types of cancer in children over a period of three years i-e 1988-1990. Essential factors related to present study were: 1. Population: The population of Karachi is about 10 million while that of Kurume is only half a million. 2. Socio-economic conditions: The average socioeconomic condition of people in Karachi is poor while in Kurume it appears to be good. 3. Educational status: Only 25% people in Karachi are educated beyond middle class while Kurume reveals a 100% education up to high school level. 4. Environmental conditions: The environmental conditions of Kurume and surrounding areas arevery clean and free from pollution, sewage problems and traffic hazards. Karachi and its surroundings on the other hand pose very serious air and water industries! It was concluded that whereas genetic predisposition predominates, the environmental conditions, educational and socio-economic status of a society immensely influence the pattern and trends of pediatric carcinogenesis.

We examined 20 episodes of nephrotic crisis (Cx) in 13 nephrotic children and report hematological findings and pathogenesis of the crisis. All physical and clinical data including serum and plasma protein levels and urinalysis, were recorded at the onset of Cx, during recovery and the interventing interval. There was a total of 20 incidences of Cx: 17 occurred at relapses and 3 at the onset of the nephrotic syndrome. We compare the Cx data with the data we additionally collected from 14 other children sufferring with nephrotic syndrome but without the complication of Cx (non-Cx) either at relapses (10) or first onset (4). The most characteristic Cx clinical manifestations (compared with non-Cx group) were abdominal pain in 85 % (cf. 14.3 %), vomiting in 70 % (cf. 0 %), and facial pallor in 65% (cf. 7.1 %). There were significant differences of the Cx clinical and hematological data when compared with the non-Cx data. The Cx group showed a significantly lower blood pressure, higher hematocrit value, lower serum sodium concentration, lower C3 level, lower CH50 activity and lower serum total protein and albumin (standardized for hematocrit values). We conclude that hypovolemia was the pathogenesis for Cx: the sudden loss of massive serum protein into urine, causing subsequent hypoproteinemia (hypoalbuminemia) and decreased colloidal osmotic pressure impairing re-entry transport of interstitial fluids from tissue to the blood. The hypovolemia of Cx is aggravated by the hyponatremia which arises due to a sodium shift from the blood to interstitial tissue. We investigated the role and mechanism of a possible hypoadrenocortical state and report negative findings in all cases.

Working characteristics of the human body can be expressed by the pattern of mental activity because physical work is generally followed by conscious activity. When the mental work is classified as intermittent work and enduring mental work, driving should be classified as the latter. When driving, the central nervous system must continuously manage various types of stimuli (or information) arriving from circumstances of the roads. It was expected that these conditions would cause a difference in mental activity and hence EEG pattern between normal motorists and motorists who are frequently involved in traffic accidents. The state of appearance of alpha waves and the frequency of the alpha waves were comparatively investigated.
