Principal neuropathological and general necropsy findings in 24 renal transplant patients.

The principal neuropathological and general pathological findings in a group of 24 patients with renal transplants who died in a nine-year period at the Western Infirmary, Glasgow, are described. Opportunistic infections--bacterial, protozoal, and fungal--were the commonest causes of death. Other causes included cardiac and vascular lesions, upper gastrointestinal bleeding and neoplasia.

Road traffic accident related morbidity as seen in an accident and emergency department.

This paper describes some of the findings of a prospective study of victims of road traffic accidents arriving at the Western Infirmary's Accident and Emergency Department over a period of 12 months. More than half the accidents occurred during leisure hours thus likely to stretch the resource of the hospital services. More than a third of the total number of patients were young male drivers. Serious injuries were significantly more often sustained among pedestrians who were often older. Victims of motor-cycle accidents less often escaped serious injuries. Blood ethanol studies on a small sample suggested that male pedestrians were often highly intoxicated. A public health education programme is regarded as a primary measure in preventing a large proportion of serious morbidity and mortality especially amongst pedestrians.

Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in immunosuppressed women after renal transplantation.

All 26 immunosuppressed renal transplant females attending the Renal Unit at the Western Infirmary, Glasgow were screened by cervical cytology and colposcopy for evidence of cervical neoplasia. Five patients (19.2%) were discovered to have cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, confirming the expected increase in this 'at risk' group. Regular cervical screening in these immunosuppressed women is recommended strongly.

Cystic fibrosis in adolescents and young adults.

With the early diagnosis of cystic fibrosis and the better management of these patients in childhood increasing numbers are surviving to adult life. The main problem requiring continuous medical care in the older cystic fibrosis patient is persisting and often progressive chest disease. For this reason the cystic fibrosis clinic for adolescents and young adults was started in the Western Infirmary in 1975. This paper presents our observations on 13 patients who had attended between 1975 and 1977. Eleven patients are alive and well and have shown no evidence of deterioration over this period. Ten are at school or in regular employment. With optimum medical supervision it is possible to give young adults with cystic fibrosis a worthwhile existence.

Self-poisoning--a complication of epilepsy.

From 1972 to 1976 130 epileptics presented 171 times to the Western Infirmary, Glasgow, as medical emergencies with self-poisoning. They constituted 3.5 per cent of 3,733 patients poisoning themselves on 4,121 occasions. Repetition of self-poisoning was commoner in epileptics (18.5 per cent) than in non-epileptics (7.0 per cent). The 130 epileptics have been compared with a non-epileptic group of self-poisoners matched for age, sex, and number of repetitions and have been found to have less alcohol excess but significantly more psychopathy. Possible explanations and prophylactic measures are discussed. In view of the relative incidence of epilepsy and self-poisoning in the community, and of epilepsy among self-poisoners in this and other studies, it is concluded that self-poisoning is a common complication of epilepsy.

Diurnal variation in urinary oxalate.

The diurnal variation in urinary oxalate concentration and output was measured in 10 catheterised males. There was an increase in urinary oxalate concentration and output during the day and evening and an early morning decrease. It is thought that the daytime increase is related to dietary oxalate. These data suggest an elevated urinary oxalate excretion is more likely to occur during the day and a 24-hour urine collection may mask this effect.
