Sneddon's syndrome. A long-term follow-up of 21 patients.

Background And Design: Twenty-one patients with histologically proven Sneddon's syndrome were followed up in a retrospective study. We report on their detailed clinical courses and extensive follow-up examinations.

Results: Incidence is estimated at four cases per million population per year.

Double-tracer SPECT in patients with AIDS encephalopathy: a comparison of 123I-IMP with 99Tcm-HMPAO.

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using N-isopropyl-p-(123I)iodoamphetamine (123I-IMP) and 99Tcm-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (99Tcm-HMPAO) was performed in 25 patients with different clinical stages of AIDS encephalopathy. The average interval between the two examinations was 7 days. In 15 of the 25 cases (60%) 99Tcm-HMPAO scans were different from 123I-IMP scans.

Prognosis of renal transplant function by renography with radioactive hippuran.

The relation of the functional prognosis of a kidney graft to the results of renography with radioactive hippuran (OIH-RG) was assessed in 96 patients after renal allograft transplantation in 1982. By October 1, 1984 26 of these kidneys had lost their function. The curves obtained from the gamma-camera OIH-RG are classified into six different curve patterns (curve types 1 to 6) as published earlier.
