[The effects of the drug Mirtilene Sifi on retinal sensitivity in healthy subjects].

Our study involve 15 normal ophthalmological subjects, when take 4 doses a day of Mirtelene Sifi for 15 days. The assessment of the efficiency of this drug on visual performances was made by comparison of the results (before and after the administration) obtained by testing the retinal sensibility (threshold central 30-2, Humphrey visual field analyzer) and the adaptation ability to dark of the retina. The results show the real efficiency of the drug on both the parameters.

[Bronchoscopy in thoracic trauma].

Thoracic trauma often bears difficult problems of diagnosis and treatment. This paper reports 87 procedures on 20 severe thoracic injured patients, who have also suffered multiple injuries, to whom was performed bronchoscopy. These cases were regarding gender, age, traumatic cause, associated injuries and dynamic endo-bronchial aspect. There are detailed technique used in bronchoscopy and bronchoscopic suction, additional diagnostic procedures, technical tips, incidents and are also reported close and follow up results in these cases. We discuss indications of bronchoscopy and broncho-aspiration in thoracic trauma from diagnostic and treatment point of view. Conclusions underline major role of bronchoscopy in the management of severe thoracic trauma.

[The chronology and diagnostic round of patients operated on for bronchopulmonary cancer].

UNLABELLED: 37 patients with certified diagnosis, operated for lung cancer (LC) in The Central Military Hospital Bucharest, during six months period (October 1st 1996-June 1st 1997). It was a retrospective study on the patients medical files. Sex distribution, postsurgical staging and histological type were studied. We calculated the following delays: 1. Between the first medical examination and the first suspicion (chest X-ray): 6 +/- 3 days; 2. Between the first medical examination and first hospital admission: 14 +/- 11 days; 3. Between the first hospital admission and the first admission in surgical units: 43 +/- 23 days; 4. Between the first admission in surgical units and surgery: 59 +/- 26 days; 5. The delay until bronchoscopy: 23 +/- 16 days; 6. The delay until the CT examination: 26 +/- 16 days; 7. Between the first medical examination and the surgery: 78 +/- 30 days. These delays were correlated with the specialty profile of the services which referred the patients: pulmonology, internal medicine, oncology or primary services. CONCLUSION: 1. Most patients come from pulmonology units (22 out of 37 patients); 2. There are significant delays until bronchoscopy and CT scan, the availability of these services is still limited; 3. The primary care medical network is still inefficient in early diagnosis of LC; 4. The overcrowding of thoracic surgery unit (scheduling for surgical intervention). All of these are arguments for developing more efficient and faster circuits of LC diagnosis, especially for high risk patients.
