A special tissue expander in combination with extensive scalp-lifting.
Brandy DA.
Although posterior closure of male pattern baldness is usually accomplished in two procedures when using extensive scalp-lifting, there is the occasional patient who will require three operations because of very poor scalp laxity. A newly developed horseshoe-shaped tissue expander was designed for these patients so that a third procedure could be eliminated. This differential expander is actually placed during the first extensive scalp-lifting operation. This differs from the conventional placement as a separate preliminary operation. The significant salient features of this expander and the technique of placement are discussed in detail.

The combined modality approach in the treatment of inoperable small-cell anaplastic carcinoma of the lung.
Osieka R, Schmidt CG, Makoski HB, Scherer E.
The combined modality approach with combination chemotherapy ("Comb" or "BACO") and radiotherapy was used in a pilot study comprising 35 evaluable patients with inoperable small-cell anaplastic carcinoma of the lung. Treatment strategy was based on prior assessment of prognostic factors such as histology, performance status and extent of disease. Median survival time was 39.8 weeks for "COMB" treated patients and 21.2 weeks for "BACO" treated patients. Although the combined modality approach has been very helpful against a variety of human cancers it should be used with caution since not all combination chemotherapy regimens are compatible with radiotherapy. Mechanisms of interactions between cytostatic agents and X-rays are discussed with regard to enhanced tumor cell kill and possible toxic side effects.

[Permanent hair loss after Kerion Celsi]

Kerion celsi is a deep dermatophytic infection of the scalp. The diagnosis is based on the characteristic clinical picture and is verified by examination for the fungus. Treatment consists of griseofulvin in a dosage of 10 mg/kg/day. The present article is a retrospective investigation of 18 patients with kerion celsi who had been treated in the Department of Dermatology in Marselisborg Hospital during the period 1978-1989. Sixteen out of the 18 patients were children. Twelve of the children were boys. A questionnaire investigation revealed that only five out of 18 patients had normal hair growth. We found a connection between the degree of severity of the alopecia and the age of the patient and the extent of the primary affection, respectively, so that low patient age and large primary affection result in a poorer prognosis. On the other hand, we have not found any connection between the latent period from the first appearance of symptoms and relevant treatment and the alopecia. Nor is there any evidence that treatment with systemic steroid is of significance for the prognosis.
