[Subxiophoyd echocardiography: pulmonary artery or aorta (author's transl)].

Six patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, have been examinated by subxiophoyd echocardiography associated with ultrasonic contrast of right heart. It is detected that the vessel placed behind anterior cavity is aorta. This is confirmed by study of calcific aortic stenosis too, where the calcifications allows sure localisation of the vessel. Main pulmonary artery, or its branches, is instead visible behind aorta.

[Clinical problems about microbiological findings in pneumology (author's transl)].

Identification for clinical purposes of the etiological germs in individual cases of bronchopulmonary not tuberculous infections is usually very hard. Sometimes, particularly in acute cases, microbiological counts in sputum as in tracheobronchial secretions and exudates may be useful. In some chronic cases an amount of particular bacteria in tracheal (transcutaneous) secretion larger than in sputum is to consider an etiological sign.
