[Specific hormone reactions to aircraft noise in pregnant women].

In order to find out if there is some specific hormonal reaction to JET aircraft noise, a group of eight pregnant women, living in a small suburban community near the airport "Beograd", were investigated. Pregnant women in the first three-months of pregnancy were exposed to the aircraft noise of 75-85 dB/A during 60 minutes, before and after that blood and urine samplers were taken for analyses. Those preliminary result of the level of cortisone, cortisol, testosterone and prolactin suggested that aircraft noise modified the hormonal reaction. Further investigation is needed in order to point out some other possibilities.

[Hereditary and congenital defects in children in the regions of Indija-Stara Pazova and Pancevo-Kovin].

An analysis of frequency and range of hereditary and congenital defects was performed in all infants born in the period from January 1 to December 31, 1986 in the Ward for Neonates at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics in Panĉevo and in the out-patient maternity home in Indija and Kovin. In Panĉevo 2.559 (1.286 m. and 1.273 f.) newborn infants were born, i.e. there were 2.314 (1.178 m. and 1.136 f.) mature children and 245 (108 m. and 187 f.) premature children. In Indija 367 (180 m. and 187 f.) newborn infants were born, i.e. there were 355 (174 m. and 181 f.) mature children and 12 (6 m. and 6 f.) premature children. In Kovin 146 (65 m. and 81 f.) newborn infants were born, i.e. 150 (82 m. and 68 f.) mature and 10 (1 m. and 9 f.) premature children. A total 3.072 (1.531 m. and 1.541 f.) newborn infants in all three places were born. In all three places there was a total of 2.805 (1.417 m. and 1.387 f.) mature and 267 (115 m. and 152 f.) premature children. In Panĉevo 68 children were born with defects (40 m. and 28 f.), i.e. 2.66% (3.11% m. and 2.20% f.). In Indija only one defect was noted in one female child (0.53% related to female newborns).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

[Ultrasound, computer tomography and angiography in the diagnosis of dissecting aortic aneurysm].

The findings obtained by ultrasound, CT and angiographic examinations of 75 patients with dissecting aortic aneurysms operated on at the M.M.A. are analysed. The aim of each particular method was to detect the presence of dissection, the aortic entrance tear and type of dissection. These findings were compared with the operative findings. On the basis of the analysis it has been concluded that the precision of the diagnosis obtained by angiography was 93%, by CT 74% and by ultrasound 69%.

[Hemodialysis in children and beta 2-microglobulin].

Retention of beta-2-microglobulin, due to loss of excretory renal function inevitably occurs in uremia. A significant correlation between the duration of hemodialysis and the incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome or destructive cystic lesions of bone has been reported. Amyloid deposition has been found to directly cause these lesions. This amyloid protein has been identified to be beta-2-microglobulin. The aim of this report was to study plasma beta-2-microglobulin levels in hemodialysed children and to detect clinical manifestations or carpal tunnel syndrome and of bone lesions. 12 children aged 9-24 years were studied. The average duration of dialysis was 51.9 ae 32 months. Beta-2-microglobulin plasma levels were studied before and after hemodialysis treatment. All patients were examined for carpal tunnel syndrome using clinical methods including nerve conduction studies, and for destructive cystic lesions using X-rays of bone. Plasma beta-2-microglobulin concentrations in our patients were found to be sevrefold time higher (73.8 ae 22.1 mg/l) than control values (1.6 ae 0.5 mg/l). The increase of beta-2-microglobulin concentration during hemodialysis tratment was due probably by hemoconcentration. We noted poor correlation between plasma beta-2-microglobulin and duration of hemodialysis. Any signs of carpal tunnel syndrome was found to our patients. Radiological signs of amyloid osteopathy found to be present in 3 children, was not verified by bone biopsy.
