Abstract
Raised plasma carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were found in over 90% of 71 patients with chronic liver disease and 50% of 16 patients with acute liver damage. Levels increasing chronicity and clinical severity of disease. In individual patients, the plasma CEA level fluctuated with the clinical condition. Persistently normal levels were never found in patients with chronic liver disease in poor clinical condition. A very high level suggests a bad prognosis. If CEA is considered together with SGPT, a discriminant function can be calculated, separating patients with acute liver damage and those with an acute exacerbation of chronic active hepatitis, with a high degree of certainty. In acute damage, peak CEA levels occur later than the time of maximum liver necrosis, suggesting that the rise is not owing to release of CEA from damaged cells. There is no significant difference in CEA level between patients with and without spontaneous or surgical portosystemic shunts, suggesting that high levels are not attributable to bypass of the liver. The timing of the rise in CEA in acute liver damage suggests that raised levels may be associated with regeneration. The tendency for higher levels to occur in those patients with greater disturbances of liver function suggests altered metabolism or excretion of CEA.

Abstract
Computed tomographic (CT) findings in 14 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus are correlated with clinical symptomatology. Microinfarction (manifested by perisuical atrophy) large infarcts, and hematomas are the major abnormalities demonstrated by CT. The neuropathology of these changes is discussed.

Abstract
After a review of 14 patients with extracranial mycotic aneurysms, a classification of mycotic aneurysms has been proposed based upon the pre-existing pathologic condition of the artery and on the pathogenesis. Ten aneurysms resulted from an infection due to intravascular sources and four, due to extravascular sources. Ten patients in this series were treated surgically, and of these, eight were cured. All four patients who did not undergo a surgical procedure died. Early diagnosis, appropriate antibiotic therapy and prompt surgical intervention are recommended in the management of these aneurysms. Excision or exclusion of aneurysms is preferred. If necessary, the circulation to the distal part of the extremity can be restored by vascular reconstruction using an autogenous bypass graft, preferably through a noninfected field.

Abstract
Progesterone-sterol pellets were made that porvided a zero-order release of progesterone for 80 days. 4-(14)C-Progesterone was used to measure the release in vitro and in vivo. The dissolution rate in vitro (distilled water as the desorbing medium) for progesterone-cholesterol (59:41 w/w) and the progesterone-beta-sitosterol (47:53 w/w) pellets was 72 microng/100 mm2/24 hr. The average in vivo absorption from subcutaneously implanted pellets in rabbits was 2 +/- 0.1 microng/ml of plasma/cm2 of surface area. Of this amount, 20-25% was progesterone; the remainder was progesterone metabolites and conjugates. Zero-order release (plasma levels) was obtained for approximately 80 days or until about 70% of the available progesterone was exhausted. During this time, the level of excreted radioactivity in urine continuously decreased, indicating that monitoring only this parameter would lead to erroneous conclusions. A long-term effect and increased effectiveness were obtained with a 5-20-mg progesterone equivalent dose, using gel prepared from 2% methylcellulose as the suspending medium.

Abstract
Computed tomography is shown to be an important modality in both diagnosis and management of cerebral infections. Representative findings from CT scans of patients with purulent bacterial infection of the meninges, cerebrum, ventricles, and adjacent structures are presented. Material is taken from 2,645 CT scans done in a 1 year period at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. It is hoped that the use of CT will lead to a decrease of morbidity and mortality in entities such as brain abscess and subdural empyema.

Abstract
The occurrence of sperm antibody in serum and cervical mucus of women from intertile couples in the serum of their male partners, as well as cellular immunity to sperm, has been studied by agglutination and immobilization techniques. For a total of about 260 couples, the tests on serum showed that 18% of the women and 8% of the men were positive by the Kibrick technique and that 15% of the women and 4% of the men were positive by the F-D technique. The women who were positive in their cervical mucus were 8% of the group by the K-agg (Kibrick agglutination) technique, 2% by the MIS-agg. (Microscale agglutination) technique, and 40% by the MIS-imm. (Microscale immobilization) tecnique. In considering all three techniques. 42% of a group of 132 women were positive. Cellular immunity to sperm, by the Migration Inhibition method, was positive in 18% and zero per cent of infertile and fertile women, respectively.

Abstract
Serum gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTP), isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICD), ornithine carbamoyl transferase (OCT), alanine aminotransferase (AlT), aspartate aminotransferase (AsT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities were assayed in 67 alcoholics and 40 drug dependent patients. Bilirubin, total protein, albumin, and globulin were also measured. GGTP elevation was observed in 48% of alcoholics and in 50% of drug dependents. The incidences of elevated levels of other enzymes were: ICD 39 and 38-7%; OCT 23-7 and 36-1%; AlT 30 and 33%; AsT 24-2 and 21-7%; ALP 10-4 and 5% respectively. Measurement of GGTP is thus more useful as a screening test for involvement of the liver in alcoholics and drug dependent patients than that of the other enzymes.

Abstract
We have assessed the function of the Vitatron AKES (Automatic Kinetic Enzyme System) in terms of three enzymes, alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, alanine transaminase and asparate transaminase, and have compared the results with our existing techniques. Overall a good precision and correlation with routine laboratory methods was found. The machine is entirely automatic in operation and is economical in its use of sample and reagents.

Abstract
Serial estimations of plasma carcinoembryonic antigen (C.E.A.) levels have been carried out in 220 patients with colorectal carcinomas who had potentially and apparently curative surgery. In a two-year follow-up period 53 patients developed recurrences or metastases. In 36 of these patients sustained rises in plasma C.E.A. titres occurred synchronously with or between three and 18 months before the clinical detection of recurrences or metastases. The use of serial plasma C.E.A. assays is therefore recommended as an additional diagnostic aid for the earlier detection of recurrent or metastatic colorectal carcinomas.

Abstract
Background: Corneal ulcer is one of the major causes of monocular blindness in developing countries. Objective: To determine demographic pattern, risk factors, microbiological pattern and treatment outcome of infective keratitis. Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis of hospital records of 44 patients with clinically-diagnosed infective keratitis presenting to B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences in the eastern region of Nepal was carried out. Outcome measures: The parameters studied were risk factors and organisms responsible for keratitis. Results: The infective keratitis was mostly prevalent among the males between 21-40 years of age (50%). 79.5 % of them were engaged in agricultural work. A history of corneal injury was found in 30 eyes (68.1%). Vegetative matter was the most common agent of trauma in 17 (56.6%). Culture positivity for microorganisms was observed in 20 (45.5%) samples. Of these, 8 (40%) patients had purely bacterial corneal ulcer. Purely fungal growth was seen in 4 (20%) and mixed in 8 (40%). Staphylococcus aureus was the most commonly isolated bacteria (70%). The other bacteria included Pseudomonas species, E. coli and Acinetobactor. Aspergillus species was the most common fungal organism isolated in 8 (40%) samples. 65.9 % of the patients improved with medical treatment alone. Perforation, endophthalmitis and panophthalmitis were the common complications encountered in 11.3%, 4.5% and 4.5% respectively. Conclusion: Corneal ulcer is prevalent in males, predominantly amongst the farmers. Ocular trauma with vegetative matter is the commonest predisposing factor. Staphylococcus aureus and Aspergillus species are the most commonly isolated organisms in corneal ulcers.
