Title: Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Malta Authors: Cuschieri, Paul Abstract: E coli O157:H7 infection causes a wide spectrum of disease ranging from asymptomatic carriage to severe disease leading to death. Typical disease includes a non-bloody diarrhoea, haemorrhagic colitis, HUS and thrombotic thrombocytopaenic purpura. While the incubation period is commonly 3-4 days, it can range from one to eight days. In this article the author describes the epidemiology, the clinical features and the microbiology of the infection, whilst giving a short view of the local situation.

Title: Xanthogranulomatous endometritis Authors: Soria, M.; Busuttil, Anthony Abstract: Xanthogranulomatous inflammatory changes of the endometrium are rare and appear to be related to obstructive changes in the endocervical canal. An elderly patient with an advanced squamous carcinoma of the cervix uteri presented with this condition. Other similar cases are discussed in relation to aetiology and pathogenesis.

Title: The use of urodynamic studies to help sort out bladder problems Authors: German, Karl Andrew Abstract: Urodynamic studies are performed as part of the clinical investigation of selected patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction. These studies provide the clinician with information about lower urinary tract function and allow a more scientific approach to the management of the individual patient. This article will concentrate on situations involving video-urodynamic studies.

Title: The use of measurements of hCG and other pregnancy-associated proteins and steroids in the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy Authors: Stabile, Isabel; Grudzinskas, J. G. Abstract: The measurement of serum of urinary hCG is commonly used to make or exclude the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy in women presenting with symptoms suspicious of ectopic pregnancy. Detection of depressed hCG levels is indicative of early pregnancy failure. Depressed serum levels of proteins of hormone of trophoblastic, ovarian or endometrial origin make the diagnosis of ectopic gestation more likely, whilst high values are likely to exclude the possibility of this condition.
