RESUMEN
Over the last 10 years, in the operating rooms of Maternity and Children Hospital, Jeddah, more than 3,200 surgical incisions of skin made for minor surgical operations were closed without suturing by using tissue adhesive Histoacryl Blue. In addition to this, in the emergency rooms over 2,600 small lacerations of skin on various parts of the body were also repaired by the same technique. The method has certain distinct advantages over conventional suturing. The success rate was very high.

This report concerns a 6-month-old boy who had omphalocele repair as a newborn and then had torsion of an accessory hepatic lobe, resulting in necrosis. A successful outcome was achieved by resecting the torsed accessory lobe.

Duplication of urethra is very rare. The duplicated urethra is always dorsal to the normal urethra which contains the sphincteric mechanism. A case is reported of urethral duplication where the duplicated urethra presented as a sinus on the dorsum of the penis.

Cinchocaine analogs were studied to determine the effects of acute administration of cocaine analogs on dopamine, 5- hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and their metabolites. Psychomotor stimulants, (such as cinchocaine), potently influencing dopamine transport carrier were used to characterize in-vivo DA transmission. DA, DOPAC, HVA level and indoleamine were measured in brain after drug administration. Significant changes in levels of DA, DOPAC, 5-HT, 5HIAA and HVA were noted. The present findings suggests that acute administration of cinchocaine increases the level of Dopamine, 5-HT and their metabolites and alter the level of amines as compare to control group. These studies also indicate that difference in structure do not affect the binding sites and inhibition of amine uptake.
