ABSTRACT
En el período comprendido entre Enero de 1975 y Diciembre de 1994, se trataron un total de 36 pacientes con tumores neurogénicos del mediastino.La edad osciló entre los 15 y 62 años, y la distribución por sexo fue de 22 mujeres y 14 varones.Todos los casos fueron abordados quirurgicamente y dos de ellos fueron operados conjuntamente con el Servicio de Neurocirugía.De los 36 pacientes, 13 fueron sintomáticos (dolor torácico,tos seca y disnea de esfuerzoy los 23 cursaron en forma asintomática.el par radiológico y la tomografía computada lineal hasta 1980 y luego la Tomografía Axial Computada son los requisitos diagnósticos indispensables.Se hallaron 20 neurilemomas (55,5 por ciento) 7 neuroblastomas (19,4 por ciento), 4 neurofibromas (11,1 por ciento),3 Schwanomas malignos (8,3 por ciento) y 2 Tumores de Askin (5,5 por ciento).Creemos que la cirugía y terapéutica absoluta en los tumores neurogénicos del tórax

Familial aggregation of blood pressure in childhood and the difference between males and females were studied in a random sample of a nursery and school-age population in Milan. Age, sex, height, weight, skinfold thicknesses and heart rate were obtained. Blood pressure was measured in accordance with the recommendations of the Task Force of Blood Pressure Control in Children. After adjusting for age, significant correlation coefficients were found between mother and son (r = 0.17 and r = 0.11), mother and daughter (r = 0.11 and r = 0.15), and father and son (r = 0.16 and r = 0.17) for systolic and diastolic pressure, respectively; the father-daughter correlations were not statistically different (r = 0.08 and r = 0.03). Multiple regression analysis underlined the difference between males and females; height was an important determinant in the males and body weight in the females. In conclusion, anthropometric measurements should be considered in evaluations of blood pressure status. Our results suggest important differences between males and females. The BP pattern of the parents also seems more important for sons, and there seems to be a lower correlation between fathers and daughters.
