The differential diagnosis of the several syndromes involving the structures of the thoracic outlet may be quite difficult in many instances. The author has demonstrated that the use of arteriography and venography is a most useful adjunct especially revealing of multiple lesions when they exist.
This study was to determine the efficacy of treatment especially of tumors of the head and neck by the combination of external irradiation and hydroxyurea. Results are sufficient primarily to warrant a further controlled study.
The authors have demonstrated that diarrhea as encountered in Vietnam is not the result of malabsorption of bile acids but rather is of infectious origin, controlled by antibiotics.
Subtrochanteric fracture of the femur is a shaft fracture through cortical bone. Treatment of this fracture by the method of nail plate fixation has resulted frequently in failure of the metal or displacement of bone fragments. Intramedullary fixation may be a safer and more reasonable approach to the initial treatment…
The author reviews the characteristics, diagnosis and clinical significance of the many lesions which may be encountered within the oral cavity.
The authors have described from a review of the literature the means of establishing the diagnosis of this syndrome by combining the results of findings from the clinical and radiologic examination and the gastric analysis.
The author directs attention to the high frequency of hypesthesia in the ulnar distribution of the hands and the occasional accompanying motor weakness in women with large breasts. He believes these manifestations are a variant of the syndrome of compression of the thoracic outlet.
The authors use this case report to review the implications and pitfalls of the audiologic evaluation when involvement of the cerebellopontine angle by tumor is suspected.

They additionally emphasize the importance of dissection of lymph nodes in…
