“…Chromosomal changes56 in peripheral blood leucocytes occur approximately ten times as often as with phenylbutazone,17 but these may be reduced by immobilization after injection. 16 18 This raises the possibility of subsequent neoplasia, especially leukaemia. But the dose of radiation is of the same order of magnitude as that employed in the treatment of thyrotoxicosis, and in that disease, though chromosomal changes may also occur,'9 20 there is no evidence of an increased incidence of thyroid cancer or leukaemia.2' Nevertheless, it is probably wise to restrict synoviorthese by radioisotopes to patients over 45 years old until further studies have been conducted.…”

Summary The results are reported of the administration of dydrogesterone, 5 mg twice daily, to 49 patients with endometriosis. All but five patients were symptom‐free after nine months of therapy. Most subjective symptoms had disappeared within four to eight weeks; dyspareunia usually took longer. In 30 out of 32 patients who had a culdoscopy after one or two treatment courses, a ‘cure’ of endometriosis was confirmed. Ten out of nineteen infertile patients became pregnant following treatment. The only side‐effects were transient mastalgia and dizziness in two patients. No amenorrhoea or other disturbances of the menstrual cycle were reported.

Absfruct: 172 patients with endometriosis were investigated. 125 were trying to conceive at the time of treatment. The following are the salient points of the investigation.(1) 64% of the patients with a desire for pregnancy at the time of treatment had primary sterility. (2) No correlation between the duration of sterility in years and the development of adhesions was found.(3) The surgical findings were of importance in predicting the chances of a pregnancy. If only simple endometrial cysts were present, the chance of becoming pregnant after the operation was almost SO%, whereas if cysts and adhesions existed, only 40% of patients conceived. (4) The duration of previous sterility was not found to affect the prospects of pregnancy. ( 5 ) The frequency of abortion was markedly reduced after the operation.
