The treatment with 2-brom-alfa ergocriptine in the syndrome amenorrhea-galactorrhea.

In this study, the authors present the results obtained in thirteen cases with amenorrhea-galactorrhea treated with 2-brom-alfa-ergocriptine in which the menstruation has reoccurred in eleven patients, three of them becoming pregnant. The authors have accurately described the evolution of the three pregnancies, which were delivered at term and the children born were normal. The present study was elaborated in the Sterility Department of the Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology "Giulesti", University School of Medicine, Bucharest.

Nodular salpingitis and tubal endometriosis. II. Diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

Nodular salpingitis and tubal endometriosis are dystrophic disorders (salpingioses) the clinical importance of which is mainly due to their interference with female fertility. We have studied 42 cases of women operated for tubal sterility, viz. 23 cases of nodular salpingitis (NS), 17 of endometriosis (EM) and two cases in which both lesions were present.

Nodular salpingitis and tubal endometriosis. I. Comparative clinical study.

Nodular salpingitis and tubal endometriosis have been referred to in succession as salpingiosis, diverticulosis, adenomyosis of the oviduct, endometrioid conditions, etc. This varied terminology underscores their etiopathogenetic and morphological substratum which is different from that of non specific tubal inflammation, but at the same time this variety of terms has always created confusion in interpretation and diagnosis. We have considered it necessary to carry out a comparative study of nodular salpingitis and tubal endometriosis in 42 cases of sterility operated during the last two years for tubal obstruction and in which histological examination has yielded evidence for the lesions of nodular salpingitis (NS) or endometriosis (EM) in at least one of the oviducts.

De novo balanced translocation: 46, XX, t(13;20)(q34;p 11).

The authors present a family in which the father has brachymetacarpy and brachymetatarsy and the mother has a 13/20 translocation. A baby was born with multiple malformations similar to the trisomy syndrome for the short arms of chromosome 20. The genetic consequences of the translocation are discussed.
