[Radioactive isotopes in the diagnosis and therapy of tumors].

The Author, after some historical accounts, widely deals with physics and chemistry of the atom that are the necessary presupposition to the knowledge of the mechanisms of action of radio-isotopes. He hence exposes the radio-isotopes applications with special consideration to the action of radiations on the organism and the possibility of diagnosis and therapeutics with radioisotopes in oncology. The Author concludes that radio-isotopes must not be considered separately in the therapeutics of tumours, but as main component of the whole anti-tumour armament (surgical, consentional radiological, chemi-therapeutic) in which the immune-therapeutics is proving itself with fascinating possibilities.

[Behavior of the principal blood coagulation parameters in rats with portacaval anastomosis].

The aim of our research was to evaluate same coagulative parameters in the rat after end-to-side porto-caval shunt, comparing the data with "sham operated" rats. At 180th day in each group the following parameters were controlled: platelet, fibrinogen, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, T.E.G. The results have shown a significant diminution in the following parameters: PLT, PT, fibrinogen, and T.E.G.

[The use of the Sengstaken-Blakemore tube for immediate control of bleeding esophageal varices (author's transl)].

A series of 34 applications of the Sengstaken-Blakemore tube to control bleeding from esophageal varices in 23 patients is described. The tube has been an effective method of emergency control of bleeding. Considerable attention has therefore been given to this methods because the operative mortality is substantially reduced if the procedure is performed electively after massive hemorrhage is controlled and blood volume has been replaced. This interval also allows for assessment and correction of liver function, fluid and electrolyte balance and coagulation mechanism. The most common serious complications are reported.

[Immunological problems in oncology (author's transl)].

The Authors, after a view of the problems of immunology, regarding the most recent discoveries, deal with the conclusions about the immunological reactions in research and clinical oncology. Many specific antibodies, formed as a result of the tumor, have been discovered in the field of research. It is impossible to say the same about human tumors and the probable hypothesis are numerous. The results until now obtained, even if they don't give a definite response, show that the immune defense of the organism has extreme importance for the beginning and the development of tumors, therefore further research could be a contribution to the cure of cancer.
