“…95% Confidence intervals and levels of significance were calculated for differences in laboratory values between patients and controls, values in the patients having been monitored during the acute (days 3-7) and convalescent (days [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] phases. Student's t test was used for normally distributed samples (as shown by X2 test with p>0 10) and the Mann-Whitney U test for abnormally distributed samples-that is, those that were neither arithmetically nor logarithmically normally distributed.…”

The clinical symptoms and signs were assessed in 20 consecutive patients developing infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). All were male homosexuals and all presented with a glandularfever-like illness. Changes in laboratory values were compared with findings in 40 HIV negative male homosexual controls.In the 10 patients for whom date of exposure to the virus could be established the incubation period was 11-28 days (median 14). One or two days after the sudden onset of fever patients developed sore

“…American HIV-infected patients, on the contrary, are predominantly homosexual men who probably contracted the infection by anal intercourse. In direct blood-stream infections there is, frequently, an immediate replication of the virus, as documented by the rapid seroconversion observed in such patients Neisson-Vernant et al, 1986;Vittecoq et al, 1986), whereas in sexually-and anally-transmitted HIV-infections, HIV genomes may remain in a latent state for a long period of time (Ranki et al, 1987;Farzedegan et al, 1988;Imagawa et al, 1989). Thus, the differential evolutions of blood-transmitted versus sexually-and anally-transmitted HIV infections might exert peculiar pathogenetic stimuli leading to specific neoplastic diseases.…”

Six AIDS-related NHLs from direct blood-stream HIV-infected patients were characterized for clonality, maturation cell characteristics, activation of c-myc proto-oncogene and presence of HIV and EBV genomes. Four out of the 6 AIDS-related NHLs were of immature B-cell origin, contrasting with the lower frequency (2 out of 31) of immature B-cell NHLs occurring in HIV-negative patients. Moreover, 3 out of the 4 AIDS-related pre-B-NHLs were extranodal lymphomas. C-myc translocations or rearrangements were not found in Italian AIDS-related NHLs, unlike c-myc activation which had a high prevalence in the American series of AIDS-related NHLs. HIV and EBV are not, or only occasionally, directly involved in AIDS-related NHL pathogenesis since HIV genome has never been found in the neoplastic clones and EBV genome was detected in only 1 out of the 6 lymphomas analyzed.

Abdominal hysterectomies at area hospital, Point Fortin, Trinidad, West Indies

A retrospective analysis of abdominal hysterectomies (3.08% of major operations) at the Area Hospital (52 beds), over a 5-year period revealed that the majority of the patients were multiparous in the reproductive age group. Menstrual irregularity is the most frequent indication, however, hysterectomy in these cases is not justified. High febrile morbidity (38%), blood transfusions and prolonged hospitalization were observed. Peer review, prophylactic antibiotics and survey of the Island hospitals are recommended to make hysterectomy appropriate, safe and to explain any racial variation.
