Bleeding from the respiratory tract can be met in everyday clinical practice. The number of patients with bleeding is not small, which implies that every physician should have adequate knowledge in order to react promptly, when needed. We have underlined the causes and the accessory factors which promote bleeding, localization--upper and lower respiratory tract, diagnostic methods which are available, prevention and treatment of bleeding.
We report a case of pulmonary manifestation of neuroblastoma, one of the most common malignant, solid tumors in children. Diagnostic approach and results of a combined cytostatic therapy are described. The nature of the tumor makes prognosis unpredictable.
The study was aimed at evaluating the possibilities of electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography in establishing the diagnosis of chronic pulmonary heart disease (CPHD). Sixty patients with a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and clinical symptoms of cardiac decompensation were observed. The examined patients ranged from 26 to 74 years of age, the mean age being 59.25 years. The diagnosis of CPHD was established by electrocardiography in 43 patients (78.18%) while in 57 patients (95%) it was done by ultrasound cardiography. Morphologic changes of the right ventricle (RV) were quantified, i.e. the diagnosis of chronic pulmonary heart disease was confirmed by echocardiography parameters such as right ventricle free wall thickness--RVFWT (0.82 +/- 0.09 cm), enddiastolic right ventricle dimension--ERVD (3.78 +/- 0.73 cm) and tricuspid regurgitation--TR (2.9 +/- 0.59, i.e. 2.58 +/- 0.55 after therapy). The information on the right ventricle function was provided by the values of echocardiography parameters, right ventricle ejection fraction--RVEF (30.98 +/- 5.88%, i.e. 34.1 +/- 5.64 after therapy) and right ventricle systolic pressure--RVSP (60.41 +/- 16.98 mmHG, i.e. 51.50 +/- 12.76 after therapy). Monitoring of these values after therapy, as well as of the RTO changes gave a good insight into the therapy effects. Echocardiography has been concluded to be of better sensitivity than ECG in diagnosing CPHD and both methods, noninvasive and easily applicable, have an important role in examining cardiac changes in patients with COPD.
The aim of this work is primary lung cancer in female population of the Doboj district in the period 1975-88. incidence research as well as age structure, localisation, histological types, stage and diseases associated with lung cancer. A group of 114 female patients was investigated and as comparative group male patients with lung cancer in the same period was used. The results show that incidence rate increase is significant and in the future that trend will be continued. Especially serious is often microcellular and adenocarcinoma appearance as well as female non-smoking patients (42%) and patients with diabetes mellitus (18%) in the investigated group high percentage. These phenomena lead to conclusion that risk factors are partly different and they should be better investigated. Females with diabetes mellitus require special treatment and further research should be focused on diabetes--lung cancer relationship.
The aim of this study was to determine the percentage of patients with lung cancer associated with pulmonary tuberculosis, and difference between those who only suffered from lung cancer and those who had lung cancer associated with any kind of pulmonary tuberculosis. In that sense two groups of patients: first one--110 lung cancer cases with different forms of pulmonary tuberculosis (investigated group), and second one--686 patients without any signs of pulmonary tuberculosis (control group) were studied and compared. Three scare cancers were squamous, three were adenocarcinoma and one undifferentiated cell type.
