[Variations of the cardiac rhythm during drug treatment. Presuppositions of cardiac protection].

In the present study, the authors assessed the therapeutic efficacy of three drugs, each representing a different pharmacological class; i.e. indapamide as diuretic, doxazosin as alpha 1-blocker, and slow-release nifedipine as calcium blocker. The action of these drugs on blood pressure and on the reduction of both atrial and ventricular ectopic beats was observed taking into account the dynamic evolution of the heart as a result of increased blood pressure. This evolution goes from normal heart to hypertrophic and subsequently to dilated heart with attendant alterations of cardiac rhythm.

[The laparoscopic treatment of Hirschsprung's disease].

Swenson's procedure, first described in 1948 for Hirschsprung's disease, consists in resection of aganglionic intestine and distal colo-anal anastomosis provided a precise dissection of extra peritoneal rectum. Potential jeopardy of pelvic vessels and nerves stimulated alternative surgical techniques to prevent complications on bladder and genital function. We performed in laparoscopy Swenson's procedure after Toupet, taking advantage from closer view and magnification of this technique, in a 15 months girl. Laparoscopy simplified and made safer pelvic dissection and resulted in a better postoperative period and cosmetic outcome.
