[18 cases of surgically treated parathyroid adenoma responsible for urinary calculi].

The development of urinary lithiasis as a result of parathyroid lesions is not an exceptional occurrence and should be routinely looked for. Among the 30 cases of parathyroid adenoma identified during a 25-year period in a department of urology in a medium-sized town, 18 were detected following the occurrence of urinary lithiasis. Clinical features in these 18 cases, as well as the investigations that led to the discovery of the adenoma are reported.

["Small cell" carcinoma of the lung. Results obtained using combination chemotherapy (adriamycin, vincristine, cyclophosphamide) in 38 patients (author's transl)].

A cyclic and sequential combination of adriamycin, vincristine (or VM 26) and cyclophosphamide was used, with a follow up of 4 to 33 months in 38 patients with a "micro-cellular" carcinoma of the lung. Radiotherapy was used in association in a variable manner. Chemotherapy alone resulted in marked regression of the lesions (regression is greater than 50%) in approximately 65 per cent of cases and a level of complete regression which varied from 31 to 45 per cent according to the degree of diffusion of the lesions at the time of admission.
