Serum growth hor-mone (GH) kvels were measured in 15 children with growth failure bv using L-Dopa stimulation and in-sulin- induced hvoglycemia. All of the children in. research group had maximum serum GH values hig-her than 7 nghnl. Tlıere was no correlation between antıtıal growth rate (ınd maximum serum GH level (p>0.05).

In this study, serumISH, Imal T3, total T4, free T3 and free T-t levels qf 96 healthy subjects (44 wo-men., 52 men) living in Konya and surroundings were determined. The values öf woınen and men are as follows: TSH 1.52 ± 0.54 and 1.26 ± 0..42 plUhnl, (mal T3 136.76±23.49 and 140.57 ± 22.03 tıgidl. total T4 7.38 ± 1.09 and 7.69 ± 1.37 free 7-3 2.28 ± 0.418 and 2.28 ± 0.582 pgiml, .free T4 1.33 ± 1.16 and 1.37 ± 2.98 ngidl respectively. Our results were evaluated according ta sex and age. There was difference between the values of male and female in. the same range of age. TSH le-veis of cases with ages higher Uzan 50 were signifi-`cantly elevated (p<0.05). rp and FT? lewis were decreased with age (pc0.01). The resuits were compared with those of lite-rature. We believe that !hese resuits ma• be used as r(ferance values fbr Konya and surroundings.

The radiologic apperance of telangiectatic osteosarcoma is usually a osteolitic and destructive lesion with only minimal ituralesional sclerosis. Histologically, large cvstic blood spaces seperated bv thin fibrous septa and lined .sarcoma cell were noted. The age and sex distnibition or clinical signs and semptoms are the same as those of ordinaty osteosarcomas. An example of telangiectatic osteosarcoma, localised on the proximal pan of femur has been presemed. The new siglus on the entity has been reviewed.

Two cases of dorsal dislocation of rhe lateral metatarso-phalangeal joints is reported because it is a very rare dislocation and the literatüre is reviewed.

Orgamıphosphorus insecticides are widely used agents which are quickly absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes. The effects of acute expo-sure to these agenıs can be .severe and imensive the-rapy mav be required. Specific drugs are available to reverse the muscarinic. nicotinic and central effects of !hese poisons. when giyen early they are very ef-fective and early diagnosis and treatment may there-fore be life saving. Iıı Iliis study seven cases of acute poisoning with an organophosphorus insecticide are reported. The sings and semptoms of acute poisoning are described anda rational approach to treatment is discussed.

The most important purpose of anesthesia application in skull base and craniofacial interventions is to maintain hemodynamic stability during the surgical procedure, to prevent an increase in intracranial pressure, or even to decrease it, making it easier for the surgeon to work. Such attempts are often aimed at opening the diary mater and removing the intracranial lesion. Therefore, the anesthesiologist should be aware of neurosurgical techniques and complications. Our aim is to provide neurophysiological information on the subject, to review the effects of anesthetic agents on brain metabolism and vascular structures, and to determine the precautions that can be taken.
