[An autochthonous case of amebic hepatic abscess with pleural dissemination].

The present paper reports on the first autochtonous case of amoebic hepatic abscess in Romania in a patient in which the epidemiologic survey showed that there had been no possible import infection. The amoebic abscess was located in the superoexternal area of the right hepatic lobe. Subsequently a major complication developed: a tendency to pleuropulmonary invasion with the formation of fluid in the right pleural cavity. The diagnosis, suggested by the aspect of the abscess cavity, was established by the presence of the parasite in the flaky pleural exudate obtained by puncture, by cultures in Loeffler medium and by serum immunofluorescence. The abscess was evacuated surgically and a specific treatment with Chloroquine and Metronidazol combined with antibiotics and a symptomatic medication was prescribed. The patient recovered and was discharged 51 days after surgery.

[Surgical rehabilitation of nonfunctioning bilio-digestive shunts].

The authors consider the internal biliary derivations as a choice procedure for the resolution of various pathological conditions of the biliary pathways and of the pancreas. They are based on the experience accumulated in the course of a total of 416 derivations performed in the last 10 years. The confrontation with particular problems raised by 40 re-interventions for failure of internal biliary derivations has determined an analysis of causes, clinical manifestations and possibilities to solve the disturbances. Categories are discussed, in which these patients can be classified and clinical observations are presented, in connection with the etiopathogeny of the non-functioning of the derivations. Possibilities are also presented for the resolution of the problems in each particular case. Two technical possibilities are presented for the correction of non-functioning biliary-digestive anastomoses, by performing bilio-biliary anastomoses.

[Surgical reoperation after vagotomy].

In 39 cases of re-interventions carried out after vagotomy (of which 31 were patients hospitalized in the Clinic and represent 8,6% of the total 358 vagotomies performed), the experience, the viewpoints and the recommendations of the authors are presented. Early re-interventions were necessayr because of complications which are common to abdominal surgery and only in a much lower degree to accidents that can be attributed to vagotomy or the associated intervention. Late re-interventions (26 cases) were necessary in 20 cases for ulcer recidives (13 for vagotomies performed in the Clinic and 7 for vagotomies performed in other units) while late-re-interventions for dumping syndrome, cholelythiasis, etc. represented only isolated cases in these statistics.

[The synthesis of aldoxime ester derivatives with biological activity].

Continuing our investigations for obtaining etheric derivatives from the oximes of some carbonylic compounds, five carboxymethylic ethers of some aldoximes were synthetized. Their structure was confirmed by chemical and spectral analyses. The antimicrobial activity of the obtained products towards 6 microorganisms species was determined.

[Pancreatic fistulas].

Based on 17 observations the authors review the major etiopathogenic, evolutive, clinical and therapeutic aspects of pancreatic fistulae. In 14 cases the cure was achieved by medical treatment while surgery was resorted to in only three cases. The medical measures are discussed, as well as the indications for surgical treatment.

[Complications of surgery of cancer of the colon].

In the paper a systematic analysis is carried out of postoperative complications of colon surgery, 118 patients had complications, out of a total of 400 interventions on the colon. The complications are studied in relation with the time of their occurence and the localization of the neoplastic process, as well as from the point of view of the influence exerted by age and the "background" of the patients. A review is also made of the therapeutic attitudes required by the various complications, of the results obtained and finally a detailed analysis is presented of the causes that led to death of operated patients.
