[Intermittent transcutaneous monitoring of acid-base equilibrium in neonates].

The authors discuss intermittent transcutaneous monitoring of the acid base balance in blood where the feedback model: lungs-milieou intérieur is used as part of a new theory, i.e. the concept of "electronic blood" (Kovác A.) which implies simulation of the internal environment by a computer. Part of the model, evidence of the existing relationship of the external and internal environment are the following parameters: a shift in the Haldane effect and the constant in Haldane's effect. The authors compare the values of the acid-base balance obtained by surgical means and by means of a computer.

[Passive smoking as a risk factor for allergic diseases in children].

The authors examined anamnestically, by interdermal tests with tobacco extract, by assessment of serum IgE and thiocyanates in saliva (according to David and Densen) 234 children with allergic diseases (rhinitis pollinosa, asthma bronchiale, dermorespiratory syndrome). They revealed a high ratio of positive tests in passive smokers (71.8% of the tested children), as compared with children not exposed to smoking (16.1% of the tested children). With advancing age of the probands the ratio of positive tests increased. The authors observed a significant difference in IgE concentrations in passive smokers of all age groups of children with the exception of those aged 1 to 3 years as compared with those not exposed to tobacco smoke. They found also significant differences in the thiocyanates concentrations in saliva between exposed and non-exposed children (223 and 126.4 mumol/l resp.). With regard to the above facts it is important to prevent exposure of predisposed as well as healthy children to cigarette smoke.
