Trichopus lachmanni, n. sp.; Structure et Morphogenèse

SUMMARY. Trichopus lachmanni n. sp. possesses, in common with other members of the family Dysteriidae, a fixation organelle composed of vesicles and a secretory ampoule. But no "foot-like" appendix exists in this species, and the ampoule opens at the bottom of an antapical pit which bears a short fringe of membranelles derived from the somatic ciliature. The vibratile fringe participates in the spinning of the glutinous secretion which temporarily fastens the organism to the substrate. This specialized ciliature is characteristic of the genus Trichopus which was created by Claparède & Lachmann for a species, T. dysteria , which, though insufficiently described, is certainly different from T. lachmanni.     

Large-bowel surgery, 1979: self-assessment.

Evidence of wide variability in the immediate results of large-bowel surgery stimulated self-assessment during 1979. The hazards of large-bowel surgery can usually be avoided by good bowel preparation, sound anastomotic technique, primary resection in large bowel emergencies, avoidance of anastomosis when hazardous, and antibiotic lavage for extant or potential peritoneal and wound contamination.
