[Prevention and pretherapeutic evaluation of laryngo-tracheal stenosis in adult (author's transl)].

The prevention of laryngo-tracheal stenosis and their etiological factors are the subject of this study. The used material (tube, balloon,...) and the patient could be the principal reason of these etiology, either for intubation or tracheotomy. The pressure in the balloon and the tracheal mucosal puls are developed. The knowledgement of the principal etiologic factors in the constitution of laryngo-tracheal stenosis, make us able to prevent them with efficacity. Finaly, a preoperative evaluation by tomography and endoscopy is establiched.

[Enzymatic fibrinolytic agents].

Urokinase (UK) and streptokinase (SK) transform plasminogen into plasmin by rupture of a ARG-VAL bond and the liberation of a peptide with a molecular weight of 6000 to 8000. Urokinase is a physiological activator with a direct action. By contrast, streptokinase is an enzyme of bacterial origin and two hypotheses may be advanced to explain its mechanism of action: the formation of a SK-plasminogen complex capable of activatiing new molecules of plasminogen or the formation of a SK-plasminogen complex within which plasminogen is transformed to plasmin.

Meningitis due to Micrococcus luteus.

We are presenting a new case of meningitis due to the Micrococcus luteus species. This germ was isolated twice in eight days from the CSF of a 57-year old woman. The patient had a ventriculoperitoneal shunt implanted for hydrocephalus following a meningeal haemorrhage. Antibiotic therapy was efficient but the patient died of a recurrent haemorrhage.
