Triggering Factor

A follow-up study of 47 individuals with paroxysmal tachycardia in infancy is reported. The incidence of recurrence decreases from 55% during infancy to 17% up to 10 years of age; a slight increase to 23% is then observed in adolescence. There is a higher incidence of paroxysm in cases with preexcitation in the ECG. Physical overexertion may be a triggering factor in recurrences, but exemption from school physical education and sports should only be granted exceptionally. No signs of reduced physical working capacity were found in this group. The results of maintenance therapy do not appear to have improved in the past decade.

Long Acting

SummaryThe results from a prospective follow-up study of a group of schizophrenic patients suggest that a significant proportion (41 per cent) are likely to relapse during a two-year period despite the prescription of long-acting injectable neuroleptic drugs. Some will relapse because of a failure of the regime, but others (32–37 per cent) because the pharmacological protection of these drugs would appear to be less effective in certain patients. Even with the major advantages of the long-acting injectable neuroleptics over oral medication, the schizophrenic patient population remains a group with a high incidence of psychiatric and social morbidity which continues to require the full resources of both the hospital and community services.

✓ The authors report a follow-up review of 1000 cases of intracranial definitive surgery for saccular aneurysms. The prognosis for such surgical cases is discussed. Postoperative results at least 6 months after discharge from the hospital were analyzed in 876 (93.3%) of the 939 surviving patients. The longest follow-up period was 14 years and 5 months, with an average of 3 years and 7 months. At the time of discharge, there were 543 excellent results, 186 good, 117 fair, 93 poor, and 61 deaths. The chief findings were as follows: 1) Most of the patients determined as “excellent” or “good” at discharge were able to return to normal life; most of the deaths or instances of worsened condition found in the follow-up study were due to new lesions. 2) Fully 62% of the cases determined as “fair” at discharge were found in an improved state at the follow-up study, having returned to normal life. 3) Only 19% of cases determined as “poor” at discharge had improved to the point where a return to normal life was possible, the majority having died or remaining in poor condition.

Abstract The clinical findings and the results of surgical treatment in 16 patients with spinal dermoid or epidermoid tumors are reported. In 9 patients the tumor capsule adhered so tightly to the nervous tissue that part of it was left in situ. In a follow-up study ranging from 5 to 30 years with a mean of 14.2 years only 1 patient had a recurrence of the tumor and 10 patients resumed a normal working life.

Abstract Twenty-five adults who harbored malignant gliomas received 72 courses of intraarterial 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU) (100 mg/m2) and 67 courses of systemic vincristine (1.0 mg/m2) and procarbazine (100 mg/m2) as induction therapy (BVP) followed by 106 courses of systemic 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(4-methylcyclohexyl)-1-nitrosourea (methyl-CCNU) (130 mg/m2), vincristine, and procarbazine as maintenance therapy (MVP). With a 6-week interval between each treatment, the median and range for the number of courses of BVP were 3 and 1 to 4 and those for MVP were 3 and 0 to 14, respectively. Fifteen patients (60%) responded to both BVP and MVP, and 10 (40%) did not. The overall median survival time was 12.7 months (range, 1.8 to 48.5+ months). Two of 3 patients who had recurrent gliomas responded and survived for 37+ to 45+ months. Seven of 10 who had nonirradiated glioblastomas responded and survived for 9 to 22 months. Four who had nonirradiated anaplastic astrocytomas all responded and survived for 38+ to 48.5+ months. Two who also received radiotherapy (1 glioblastoma and 1 primitive neuroectodermal tumor) benefited and survived for 16.9 and 28.5+ months. All who did not respond favorably died within 8 months. During the infusion of BCNU, complications included transient orbital and head pain, periorbital and scleral erythema in all patients, and a focal seizure in 1 (4%). During the 6-month induction periods, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia occurred in 1 (4%), deep vein thrombosis occurred in 9 (36%), pulmonary emboli occurred in 8 (32%), upper respiratory infections occurred in 6 (24%), pneumonia occurred in 9 (36%), and herpes zoster occurred in 1 (4%). During maintenance therapy, seizures occurred in 4 (16%) and leukopenia and/or thrombocytopenia occurred by the fifth course in 6 of 9 who received 5 to 14 treatments.
