[Staphylococcus--an agent of nosocomial infections].

Staphylococcus is an important agent of nosocomial infection, especially: urinary tract infections, pneumonia and intraabdominal infections in surgery. The most important are the coagulase-negative staphylococci by their adherence and growth on surfaces of intravenous catheters. The structural components, the enzymes and toxins are the most important factors that take up the capacity of the agent in developing nosocomial infections. Handwashing practices, antibiotic prophylaxis are important, especially in the immunocompromised host.

[Hanover intensive score. Study on 218 cases ].

We have performed a prospective study (1990-1996) in our intensive care unit in Hospital "C.I. Parhon" Iassy. Our study has 218 critical patients with ARDS and MSOD. For all of them we have used a new scoring system HIS (Hanover Intensive Score) for: the evaluation of patients with ARDS that have the risk to develop MSOD; determine the prognosis in different moments of evolution. In our opinion this score has the following advantages: it is easy to apply; it can determine the prognosis and the probable status of the patient at the moment of outcome; it can be used in our country with the technical that we have and we propose this score for his performances.

[The current pathogenetic aspects of MODS in the sepsis patient].

MODS, a phenomenon observed in many critically ill patients, is the progressive failure of two or more organ system which results from nonspecific systemic responses to abnormal intravascular inflammation. It is triggered by a number of cellular humoral and biochemical mediators (more than 100). This article takes up the role of individual organ system dysfunction in the development of MODS. Cardiopulmonary, renal and hepatic responses to injury and infection and the relation of these responses to the subsequent development of MODS have been the subject of intense investigations; recently the gastrointestinal tract was identified as another target organ in such patients.
