TL;DR: A good correlation was observed between histology of gastric mucosa (single biopsy) and acid output both on A.H.T and H-I.T.
Abstract: Gastric biopsy was performed on 102 subjects comprising: control subjects (25), patients suffering from vague gastrointestinal symptoms (42), tropical sprue (24) and iron deficiency anaemia (11). The correlation between histology of gastric mucosa and acid output on augmented histamine test (AHT) was studied in 51 subjects and on histamine-infusion test (H-I.T) in 69 subjects. A good correlation was observed between histology of gastric mucosa (single biopsy) and acid output both on A.H.T and H-I.T. Furthermore, in subjects from India showing normal gastric mucosa, acid output on H-I.T. was found to be comparable to that reported in patients from Britain but comparatively lower values were observed on A.H.T.

TL;DR: Total lipids of red cells as well as plasma from polycythaemia Vera patients and normal subjects were fractionated and the fatty acid composition was analysed by gas‐liquid chromatography.
Abstract: Summary Total lipids of red cells as well as plasma from polycythaemia Vera patients and normal subjects were fractionated and the fatty acid composition was analysed by gas-liquid chromatography. The following statistically significant differences were found in the percent fatty acid levels.
Red cell. Linoleic acid level of total lipids was decreased in polycythaemia whereas oleic acid level of phospholipid fractions was increased. Stearic acid level of cholesterol ester fraction was increased in polycythaemia whereas that of triglyceride fraction was decreased. Significantly low levels of arachidonic acid associated with cholesterol ester fraction were noted in polycythaemia patients.
Plasma. Palmitic acid associated with total lipids and oleic acid levels of phospholipid fractions were higher in polycythaemia. Stearic acid associated with phosphatidyl ethanolamine was found to be decreased in polycythaemia. Similarly arachidonic acid associated with total lipids as well as sphingomyelin was decreased in polycythaemia. A wide difference between the lipids of the red cell and the surrounding plasma was observed.

TL;DR: Successful application of the Mikulicz principle of vertical division and transverse suturing to increase the lumen of a stricture in a fibrous ring stricture with prolapse of the rectum is described.
Abstract: A fibrous ring stricture of the rectum with prolapse of the rectum, treated by proctoplasty and rectoplexy, is reported. Successful application of the Mikulicz principle of vertical division and transverse suturing to increase the lumen of a stricture is described.

TL;DR: An unusual case of squamous carcinoma of the lower alveolus metastatic to the kidneys, presenting with symptoms of latent uremia, has been reported but a review of the literature has failed to reveal a similar case.
