    Notes: Abstract Acute hydrops of the gallbladder (AHGB) is a rare paediatric disease being diagnosed with increased frequency due to its association with other illnesses and the availability of ultrasonography. The symptoms and signs of AHGB include abdominal pain, vomiting, abdominal mass and/or tenderness. As these clinical features mimic the more common surgical conditions such as acute appendicitis, intussusception and volvulus, some cases are still diagnosed only at laparotomy. diagnosis is established by ultrasonography of the abdomen demonstrating normal biliary ducts and a distended gallbladder without calculi or congenital malformation. The aetiology of acute hydrops of the gallbladder is unknown but may be multifactorial. Treatment varies from non-operative management to surgical intervention.

    Notes: Summary Six orthopaedic clinics in Sweden made a comparison of the effects and side effects of Piroxicam (20mg) and Indometacin (100mg) suppositories in 261 patients with painful coxarthrosis on the waiting list for total hip replacement (THR). The study was designed as a single blind study over 4 weeks. Amount of pain and range of motion was registered before the trial and compared with findings after 4 weeks, including reported side effects. Both drugs gave satisfactory pain relief without any appreciable variation on weightbearing or at rest. On the other hand, the trial showed a significant difference (p=0.0033, Student's-test) between the two drugs as regards the frequency of side effects from the lower gastrointestinal tract, where piroxicam had a lower rate compared with indometacin. No serious complications occurred; 16 patients dropped out, 8 in each group.
