RESUMEN
A case of dislocation of the extensor tendons of the hand caused by focal myoclonic epilepsy is presented. This particular aetiology, which has not previously been reported, is discussed. The tendons were repositioned and there was no sign of recurrence one year later.

After injection of a mixture of carbon black and a iodinated X-ray contrast medium into the cerebral ventricles of rats carbon black loaded macrophages were found in the alveolar septa in the lungs. It is concluded that contrast media used in cerebral ventriculography are eliminated at least partly by discharge of pulmonary macrophages.

Following injection of carbon suspension into the bladder wall of white rats, carbon particles were observed in the cytoplasm of cells located as the alveolar macrophages. Following injections of a solution of AgNO3 into the bladder wall of white rats, dark stained spots were observed in the cytoplasm of cells located as the alveolar macrophages. It is suggested that pulmonary excretion of carbon particles and silver stained necrotic material from the bladder wall takes place. These results may contribute to the problems involved by pulmonary changes observed in the X-irradiated patients with carcinoma of the bladder.
