[Lipid indicators of vascular risk. A cross-sectional study of a group of coronary patients, a group of subjects with normal coronary angiography and a control group].

During a transverse survey, 3 groups of men with the same weight and age were compared. Group I included 42 patients with coronary disease documented by coronarography, group 2 included 19 subjects with normal coronary angiograms, and group 3 included 27 healthy controls who had not undergone coronarography. Subjects presenting diabetes or any factor associated with secondary dyslipidemia or able to modify lipid levels were excluded from study.

[Minimal lipid anomalies in a group of men with early coronary disease compared to a control group].

A group of 27 men with early coronary disease (mean age: 52 years) with cholesterol levels below 6.45 mmol/l and triglycerides levels below 2.3 mmol/l, who underwent a coronary angiography, is compared with a control group of 18 men (CG) with normal angiography.

[Familial primary empty sella turcica. Apropos of a family with 3 cases].

Three members of a family, the father and two children, present a primary empty sella. The only clinical symptom is headache. The ophthalmologic examen, and the pituitary function are quite normal.

[Dysthyroidism caused by amiodarone. Frequency and diagnosis].

The frequency of dysthyroidism during treatment with amiodarone makes it necessary to watch the thyroid gland, especially since that organ may apparently be intact in such cases. Clinical observation is insufficient owing to the patients's age and to the beta-blocking effect of amiodarone. Biochemical monitoring is accurate, but amiodarone-induced abnormalities without dysthyroidism (e.
