[Advantages of blood gas analyses of an improved ventilation bronchoscope (author's transl)].

During bronchoscopy in elder patients the development of respiratory acidosis is a hazard. A new and improved ventilation bronchoscope decreases the risk, which was demonstrated by blood gas analyses. This bronchoscope differs from those normally used in the following ways: 1. An inflatable cuff on the outer tube seals the bronchoscope like a breathing tube against the trachea. 2. This bronchoscope, although in the endobronchial position, improves the ventilation of the contraleateral lung aided by wider side holes lying above the bifurcation. 3. Jet-ventilation can be employed.

[An improved bronchoscope (author's transl)].

This bronchoscope differs from those normally used in the following ways: 1. In the endobronchial position the bronchoscope makes possible improvement in ventilation of the contralateral lung by increasing the area of the side-openings above the bifurcation. - 2. An inflatable cuff on the outer tube seals the bronchoscope against the trachea like a breathing tube. - 3. Jet-ventilation van be employed when the bronchoscope is open.

[Experimental definition of an optimal arrangement of electrodes for localisation of nerves (author's transl)].

The use of electrical stimulation for the localisation of nerves facilitates regional anaesthesia, especially by assuring a sufficient approach of the tip of the cannula to the nerve by the intensity and duration of an impulse necessary for its stimulation. This necessitates an adequate and constant distribution of the intensity of the stimulus in the surroundings of the tip of the cannula and the capability to define the current of the impulse. In the electrolytic tank the distribution of the stimulating intensity was studied in 4 different types of electrode arrangements. An electrode arrangement most suitable for nerve blockades was found. It may be produced by coating an injection cannula with 1 conducting and 2 isolating layers.

Aspergillosis with Aspergillus osteomyelitis and diskitis after heart transplantation: surgical and medical management.

This is the report of a 49-year-old man, who could be cured of aspergillosis with Aspergillus osteomyelitis and diskitis of the lumbar spine by medical and surgical therapy after heart retransplantation. Aspergillus osteomyelitis and diskitis is a rare complication of invasive aspergillosis. Lumbar involvement is the main manifestation, followed by rare locations in the tibia, ribs, wrist, sternum, pelvis, and knee. It is nearly always secondary to pulmonary aspergillosis, which occurs in about 6% to 14% of patients after heart transplantation. For treatment, a combined surgical and medical approach is recommended, which enables quick pain relief for the patient and histologic and microbiologic diagnosis and stabilization of the spine. Because of definitive cure of osteomyelitis cannot be guaranteed by removal of the abscess, medical therapy after surgery is necessary for years.
