Abstract
This paper describes and discusses some of the clinical applications of the posterior interosseous forearm flap in hand reconstruction, including the fact that larger areas of skin than previously reported can be used safely. It is based on a series of 21 patients, 50 anatomical dissections and 10 injection studies.

Abstract
The components of the circulating immune complexes (CICs) were characterised in asymptomatic HIV seropositive individuals. Forty four of 214 individuals (20.56%) showed the presence of CICs. Specific HIV anti-HIV CICs were detected in 33 of them (75%). The isotypic specificity of antibodies found to these CICs was measured. IgG and IgA immunoglobulin classes were detected in CICs.

Abstract
Urban private hospital discharges in Brazil increased enormously during the last decade. Several measures were taken in an effort to slow the rate of increase in hospital admissions and the escalation of hospital costs, which were out of control by the end of the last decade. The introduction of a new case-based reimbursement method, late in 1983, not only contributed to increased hospitalizations, but to changed hospital case mix, as private hospitals shifted from more costly to less costly patients. This occurred especially in the most developed areas of the country, where the concentration of profit-making hospitals is very high. The case-based prospective payment method can be seen as a good managerial tool for use in comparing hospital performance. However, it seems not to be a good mechanism for controlling health care expenditures, especially when profit-making hospitals dominate the provision of hospital care. Any decrease in hospitalization by private hospitals in Brazil has been caused by the severe economic recession, which hit the Brazilian economy hard, and by the shift in hospital admissions from private to public hospitals, not by the introduction of the new reimbursement method which has changed the unit of payment from 'patient day' to case or procedure.

Abstract
Paraíba State, Brazil is one of the poorest areas in that country; many of the hospitals are not high quality and medical training is not comparable to that of developed countries. Nevertheless, the rate of cesarean section delivery in urban hospitals has risen from 19.0 per cent in 1977 to 28.5 in 1981. Despite the larger volume of obstetric services in government hospitals, these hospitals had lower cesarean section rates than private hospitals, both profit and non-profit.

Abstract
Thirty patients with endomyocardial fibrosis were submitted to endocardial decortication and atrioventricular valve replacement between December, 1977, and October, 1981. There were 26 female and four male patients, ranging in age from 14 to 48 years (mean 32). Thirteen patients had biventricular disease, 14 had the right-sided form, and three had endomyocardial fibrosis confined to the left ventricle. All were in Functional Class III or IV (New York Heart Association classification). The hospital mortality was 20% (six cases). Among the survivors (mean follow-up 13 months), 23 of 24 were improved clinically. Postoperative hemodynamic and angiographic studies were performed in 15 patients. Two (6.6%) have definitive atrioventricular heart block. There were five (16.6%) late deaths. Operation for endomyocardial fibrosis should be considered a palliative procedure. Possible limitations include the need for a valve prosthesis, cardiac conduction disturbances secondary to endocardiectomy of the right ventricle, and the possibility of recurrence of the endocardial fibrosis. However, at present, operation seems to be the treatment of choice for this condition because (1) endomyocardial fibrosis is characterized by a grave prognosis and medical therapy is ineffective; (2) endomyocardial fibrosis is a disease in which only the heart is affected, lesions in other organs being the result of passive congestion; (3) systolic performance of the heart is usually only slightly depressed; and (4) the surgical procedure is easily performed, so that the mortality is acceptable.

Abstract
Twenty-four hirsute female patients were treated with 100 mg of depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate intramuscularly every 15 days. Twenty-three showed definite improvement from their abnormal hair growth. All patients with initially elevated 17-ketosteroids in 24-hour urine collections showed a decrease of these metabolites with treatment. In eleven patients the initial plasma testosterone level was elevated and returned to normal values with treatment. The first patient who was submitted to this therapy stopped the treatment for 5 months and started having abnormal hair growth again. With other patients, after initial treatment with depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate intramuscularly, we started using contraception pills containing medroxyprogesterone; this maintained the reduced ectopic hair growth. The most important side effect was amenorrhea.

Abstract
Relato de um caso de síndrome de Seckel apresentando resultados pneumencefalográficos e hormonais dignos de registro. As dosagens hormonais indicaram a existência de um distúrbio na atividade do hormônio de crescimento, havendo estímulo acima do normal do H.G.H. e inatividade sobre a curva dos ácidos graxos não saturados. O registro pneumencefalográfico de atrofia das circunvoluções cerebrais é o primeiro a ser publicado em paciente com síndrome de Seckel, podendo ser considerado como uma confirmação dos achados anátomo-patológicos relatados por McKusick (mierocefalia pongidea).
