A 22-month-old boy with thymic dysplasia produced an unusually large amount of isohemagglutinin and anti Gm(a) antibodies during the course of a fatal graft-versus-host reaction. This enhanced B cell activity is attributed to the helper effect of soluble factors released by the activated T cells which caused the reaction.

Cancer

Intra-arterial infusion, since introduced to clinical use, has been used extensively as a palliative method in treating patients with oral cancer. However, from the studies reported, this approach to treatment offers limited palliation. The object of our study was to determine the value of primary infusion as an adjuvant to operation or irradiation. Results were reasonably good in a group of 39 patients treated by the method described. Tumor regressions of 75% or more were common in one group treated by infusion followed by conservative surgery; in one patient, complete tumor regression has persisted more than 7 years. After infusion, it was possible, in some older patients, to obtain excellent results without extensive radical surgical procedures. Although no firm conclusions can be drawn from this group of patients, the authors feel that, with proper case selection, some form of combined therapy might improve the treatment of carcinoma of the mouth. From these results, it is suggested that intra-arterial infusion can be considered as part of the treatment of oral carcinoma, not only as a palliative measure, but also as an adjuvant to conventional methods.

... Interestingly, this was the first and only episode of similar symptoms in the current case. According to Deschenes et al. [11], males over 30 are typically affected with AD and this is consistent with our patient. Histopathological analysis following appendectomy typically indicates the diagnosis of AD, and our case report was no exception. ...

... However, diagnosis of DDA may be relevant due to association with perforation or appendiceal neoplasms. Some reports suggest that patients with AA on a background of appendix diverticulitis are more likely to perforate, and DDA is associated with appendiceal neoplasms [4,5]. In a retrospective Danish study including 4,413 appendix specimens from 2001-2010, Kallenbach et al. [6] reported that 39 patients had DDA and 4 (10.3%) ...
