Micro-analysis in medical biochemistry

Abstract: This booklet aims at giving what is necessary for understanding and undertaking chemical analysis for clinical purposes of materials for the body. Many of the included items (such as, under urine, Rothera's test and Gerhardt's test for ' acetoneand tests for albumen and bile pigment) are not really analyses but qualitative tests.

Intussusception in Adults

Abstract: Three cases of intussusception in adults were observed within a period of six months in a small general hospital. All the patients were over 65 years old and all were admitted to hospital with intermittent cramping abdominal pains. None appeared to be in acute distress. In all three, body temperature, pulse rate and hemogram were within normal limits. Diagnosis was made preoperatively after barium enema studies. Bowel resection with end-to-end anastomosis was done in all three cases, in two because of gangrenous bowel. The site of intussusception was jejunojejunal in one case, ileocecal in another and colorectal in the third; and the cause in all cases was tumor, benign in two cases, malignant in one. The patients recovered uneventfully except for incisional abscess and diarrhea of seven days' duration in one. In a review of literature it was found that the clinical features in these three cases closely paralleled those of other cases of adult intussusception reported in this country.
