Herein, polyorchidism possessing of more than the usual number of testicles, which was found in two patients, is reported. Both patients had three testes, and one presented with painful swelling of the right scrotum caused by torsion of the testis and the other revealed a non-palpable testis in the right hemiscrotum. Both patients were managed surgically with orchiopexy and an orchiectomy, respectively, followed by the insertion of an artificial testis.

We report one case of 1 month old male with early congenital syphilis Who represented the characteristic clinical features and laboratory findings including darkfield examindtion and quantitative VDRL test. The histopathologic findings of the patients skin biopsy specimen showed extravasation of erythrocytes and perivascular infiltration of plasma cells were found. in addition to the previous described findings by Fraser. He was managed by daily injection of 200,000 units of aqueous procaine penicillin for 8 days and then three injections of 150,000 units of PA.M at two days intervals with excellent effect

Low back pain is probable the second most common disease entity to upper respiratory infection in developedconuntry. We were missing at least 50% of the pathologic conditions by using conventional diagnostic modalities inlow back pain. They did tell us nothing or little about facet abnormalities, lateral recesses, vertebral canal andsoft tissues surrounding lumbar spines. High resolutional CT has been the biggest turning point in the diagnosisand management of low back pain. CT make a contribution to reducing the morbidity and probable the cost ofevaluating patiens with low baack pain, and to increasing diagnostic accuracy. We observed 100 cases of lumbar CTusing TCT 80A scanner for the evaluation of low back pain during the period from Apr. 1985 to Sept. 1985 atChung-Ang University Hospital. Lumbar CT scan reveals high-positive findings(98%) in low back pain patients.Common low back disorders in CT are disc bulging(53%), herniated nucleus pulposus(32%), degenerative arthritis inposterior facet joints (27%), spinal stensosis(20%) and postoperative spines(15%). Uncommon low back disorders inCT are compression fracture of verebral bodies, spondylolysis or spondylolisthesis, tropism, transitionalvertebra, Scheuerman's disease, limbic fracture, transverse process or articular process fracture, sacroiliacjoint subluxation, conjoined nerve root and meningocele.

An incidentally detected transposition of the inferior vena cava in patient with gall bladder carcinoma isreported with discussion of findings of CT scan and review of anomalies of the inferior vena cava. Since anomalousvena cava may simulate any other abnormality such as metastatic disease, it is very important to know anomaly ofthe vena vaca with understanding of its embryological back ground.

BACKGROUND: Better effect of antiemetic drugs can be obtained by combination of multiple antiemetic drugs that have different mechanisms of action. However, if the combined drugs have similar mechanisms of action, the incidence of side effects may be increase. This study was conducted to evaluate the ability of using combination therapy consisting of metoclopramide and dexamethasone in control of postoperative nausea and vomiting. METHODS: Sixty adult female patients undergoing major gynecological operation under the general anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups according to administered drugs. The patients received a single IV dose of metoclopramide (10 mg, Group I) or metoclopramide plus dexamethasone (10 mg 8 mg, Group II) when as operator sutured the skin wound. The incidences of nausea and vomiting were assessed during the first 12, 24, and 48 hours after recovery from anesthesia. RESULTS: There were no prominent incidences of postoperative nausea and vomiting between two groups within postoperative 12 hours. But there were significantly increased incidences of nausea and vomiting in Group I (26.7%, 13.3%) compared to Group II ( 8.0%, 3.2%) during postoperative 24 hours and 48 hours. CONCLUSIONS: Combination therapy of metoclopramide with dexamethasone seemes to have no synergic effect in control of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
