[Treatment with total parenteral nutrition in inflammatory diseases of the intestine].

The authors present 33 cases of inflammatory diseases of the bowel (15 cases of Crohn's disease and 18 of Ulcerative Colitis) and patients are divided into 3 groups according to clinical, laboratory and pathological parameters. Also from the results obtained, they believe that T.P.N. is particolary indicated in patients of the second stage, in which T.P.N. has double function. It permits an adequate alimentation and reintegration of protein, vitamins as well as hydro-electrolytes. Allowing the intestine to rest it also repair its mucosa.

[Traumatic rupture of the diaphragm (our experience)].

The Authors report their experience about diaphragm traumatic herniae. After showing the general problematics, they study 11 cases they had the opportunity to observe: 7 acute and 4 chronic herniae, and appraise the diagnostic and therapeutical peculiarities of such pathology.

[Experience with cefoxitin in surgical sections of intensive care wards].

The Authors illustrate the results obtained in treatment of various types of infection in patients hospitalised in an intensive care surgical department with cephoxitin, a new semisynthetic antibiotic derivate of the cephalosporin group. In view of the severity of the treated cases, the Authors consider the results obtained to be satisfactory.

[Retroperitoneal tumors].

The authors after giving a general view of retroperitoneal tumors also describe briefly their anatomo-clinical features pointing out the controveries of these neoplasms. Personal case histories are illustrated emphasizing the importance of shortening the time of diagnosis in regards with already sintomatic neoplasms which are misdiagnosed. The efficiency of present methods of diagnosis in relation with therapeutic problems is documentated and acknowledged.

[Heterotopic homograft of the rat stomach: microsurgical technic].

More than by a practical viewpoint, the experimental graft of stomach is very useful like model for the study of gastrointestinal physiopathology. Starting from these considerations the AA. have set up a new method for the execution of stomach heterotopic homograft in rat and they have studied the secretory activity without immuno-suppressed therapy. Not inbred rats have been used; their middle survival has been of 9,3 days. The secretion has been regular up to 5th-6th day; in the same time the AA. have made histopathologic studies on the transplanted stomachs of animals that had been sacrificed at programmed intervals of time, which have outlined the progressive growth of a reaction of intense immunological rejection.

[Assessment of the surgical risk by skin tests of cell-mediated reactivity and other methods].

In examining some procedures of general evaluation of the operative risk the Authors direct their attention to the performance of cell-mediate reactivity skin tests and consider a set of 42 patients (of whom 11 as controls, and 31 "high risk"). The results obtained are interesting and evidence the high reliability of these tests in evaluation of infective morbidity and mortality in neoplastic and non-neoplastic patients: in fact a negative response means high morbidity and mortality while a positive response corresponds to normal surgical healing. In tumoral patients, moreover a relationship between skin tests and clinical stage of the disease is observed: negativity of the test means a terminal stage and hence absolute inoperability: positivity corresponds to an advanced stage and hence relative operability (exploratory laparatomy and thoracotomy). The Authors conclude by stressing that the tests have a practical utility and prognostic value higher than those of other methods.

[Intensive care units in surgery].

The reasons why intensive care units have become essential are examined. The purpose of such units is to modify the organization of hospital assistance according to the concept of progressive treatment in line with the gravity of the disease concerned. Monitoring techniques as a function of the patient's gravity are outlined and the use of electronic processing as a valuable contribution to the surgeon in providing him with a complete and speedy physiological profile of the seriously ill patient is recommended. Finally, the cost of intensive care units is examined and to keep it down careful attention must be paid to the type of pathology admitted to such units. In spite of this by no means negligible factor, institution of such units is still recommended as quickly as possible, their organization being moulded to the situation in question.
