Abstract

In a series of 151 autopsies on cases of malignant disease, 12 (7.9 per cent) were found to have involvement of the diaphragm as compared with 5 (3.4 per cent) which had metastases in the spleen. Secondary deposits from the bronchus and stomach were rarely seen in comparison with those from more distant organs and the surgical importance of this finding is discussed.

Primitive neuroectodermal tumours (PNET) of the ovary are rare, aggressive tumours which are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Previously reported cases have shown limited response to therapy in patients presenting with metastatic disease and survival rates have been discouragingly low.

We compared the diaphragmatic electromyographic (EMG) recordings from 32 patients with known neuromuscular disease and respiratory symptoms (23 neuropathies, 9 myopathies) to recordings from 23 normal subjects. Turns analysis of 219-ms sections, or epochs, of the EMG demonstrated a significant overl
