PARTURIENT PERINEORRHAPHY

In the light of improved means of combating infection, better and safer anesthesia, the ready availability of blood transfusion, and less traumatic delivery, reasons formerly advanced in opposition to operations at the time of parturition for repair of preexisting lesions of the pelvic floor are now less formidable than they were in the past.Such operations now can be carried out quickly and safely with considerable benefit in terms of immediate comfort and well-being of the patient, prevention of later development of more serious lesions, and savings in cost of hospitalization.In a series of more than 300 patients so operated upon—the technique used is described herein—none died, and in a review of the records many advantages of operation immediately after delivery, as compared with long delay of needed repair, were noted.     

LEUKEMIA—Duration of Life in Children Treated with Corticotropin and Cortisone

The average duration of survival of 15 cases of childhood leukemia treated with corticotropin and cortisone was 6.8 months. This survival was the same as observed among 59 children who received no treatment, or treatment with x-ray, or blood transfusion alone.Despite the fact that objective evidence of remission was observed in 7 of 15 children treated with corticotropin and cortisone, the remissions were not reflected by a longer duration of life.Treatment of childhood leukemia with corticotropin and cortisone appears to be a palliative measure, without significant effect on the duration of life.
