    Notes: Summary In plasma from 35 women with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and 35 normal pregnant women both at 39 weeks of gestation, plasma prolactin levels were measured at 8.30 a.m. (PRL1) and 9.30 a.m. (PRL2) under basal conditions. At delivery umbilical cord blood samples were taken for measurement of fetal prolactin (PRLF). PRL1 and PRL2 were higher in women with PIH, but no significant relations were found betwen PRL1/PRL2 and blood pressure. PRLF did not differ when infants of mothers with PIH and infants of normal pregnant women were compared, but PRLF had a significant direct independent relation with PRL2. The latter relation may be due to the increase in placental oestrogens during pregnancy, which stimulate both the maternal and fetal hypophyses and their prolactin secretion. PRLF did not show any relation with neonatal morbidity, but PRL1 showed a significant direct relation with the Apgar score at 5 min.

    Notes: Abstract: It is suggested that the spectra of the 8Be ground-state (gs) nuclei produced in the interaction of 12C with 59Co at incident energies varying from 8.3 to 33.3 MeV/amu can be explained by introducing a dissipative friction interaction mechanism preceding projectile break-up.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario I tubercolomi cerebrali multipli sono assai raramente osservati; in letteratura sono documentati circa trenta casi. Descriviamo il caso di un giovane uomo che giunge all'osservazione con una storia di otto mesi di cefalea, febbricola, ascesso della tibio-tarsica sinistra. Operato l'ascesso, si riscontra mycobacterium tubercolosis nel materiale asportato. La radiografia del torace evidenzia disseminazione miliariforme ad entrambi i polmoni. TAC ed RMN cerebrali documentano numerosissimi piccoli noduli coinvolgenti specialmente la fosse posteriore. Nonostante instaurazione di terapia antimicobatterica classica, compare emisindrome piramidale destra con ipertensione endocranica. Introducendo Rifabutina si osserva rapido miglioramento della situazione. Dopo un anno di terapia il paziente è il buone condizioni; le lesioni cerebrali e polmonari scomparse. L'interesse del caso è determinato dalla pluricentricità dei processi TBC in paziente non-immunodepresso, dalla disseminazione tubercolare al nevrasse senza interessamento meningeo e dalla resistenza ai classici antimicobatterici, con pronta risposta alla Rifabutina.
    Notes: Abstract Multiple cerebral tuberculomas are now very rare. We report the case of a young man with an 8-month history of headache, febricula and abscess of the left tibiotarsal joint, which was found to contain mycobacterium tuberculosis. Chest X-rays revealed miliariform dissemination to both lungs while CT and MR brain scans revealed numerous small nodules, especially in the posterior cranial fossa. Despite anti-tuberculosis therapy the patient developed a right pyramidal hemisyndrome and intracranial hypertension. The inclusion of rifabutin in the treatment schedule was followed by rapid improvement and a year later the patient was in good health and free from cerebral and pulmonary lesions. The interest of the case lies in the multiplicity of sites of the TB process in a non immunodepressed patient, the dissemination to the CNS without meningeal involvement, the resistance to standard antimycobacterials and the swift response to rifabutin.
