Abstract

An interesting technique for reclamation of badly ravined slopes in the Appenines; has been described. The two factors, namely, the run off and extremely erodible argillaceous formations, have been the principal causes of destruction of the formerly productive terrain which had been misused by deforestation, overgrazing and bad cultivation. Now these very destructive forces, i.e. run off and erodibility of soil have been cleverly harnessed and advantageously used for reclamation. Earthen checks with non-scouring spill-ways are used to retain in ravine bottoms the soil brought down from the sharp ridges by run oft' water through accelerated erosion. Valleys rise up and crests decline. In due course, the calanchivo terrain is transformed into rolling topographs with reasonably uniform slopes. These lands can then be put to proper land use-afforestation, pastures or cultivation.

Abstract

A 48-year-old nulliparous woman was referred to Gynaecology for a suspected gynaecological cancer. She presented with unexplained abdominal symptoms, iron deficiency anaemia and a large pelvic mass. Her menstrual cycle was described as heavy and regular. She had a normal cervical smear history and was in the perimenopausal stage of her life. There was no reported history of weight loss. Her past gynaecological and surgical history included a previous ovarian cystectomy and appendicetomy many years ago. There was no other significant medical or family history. On examination she had a large fibroid uterus. Ultrasound scan was suggestive of a large multiloculated pelvic mass, but Ca125 was in the normal range. The pelvic mass was considered benign and she underwent a surgical treatment with total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. During the surgery a distended fluid filled uterus was noted, with an appearance typical of a pregnant uterus. Histological examination confirmed a bizarre, symplastic leiomyoma of the uterus.
