[Diagnosis and treatment of primary malignant thyroid tumors in an endemic focus].

In authors' opinion an inadequate knowledge of the clinical course and disparagement of the role of puncture and operation biopsies constitute the causes of hypodiagnosis of primary malignant tumors. An exceptional use of repeated operations in case of "histologic discoveries" of the tumors together with underestimation of radialogic and hormonal treatment should be considered as therapeutic errors.

[Cholecystostomy in elderly patients in light of the immediate and late results].

Cholecystotomies carried out upon 58 patients aged above 50 have been analyzed 22.4% of the patients died in the immediate postoperative period. In the late postoperative period good and fair results were found in 86.2% out of 21 followed-up patients 4 patients (13.8%) underwent the repeated cholecystostomy or cholecystectomy. The outcome was favorable. Some useful practical recommendations are suggested.

[Peridural anesthesia in operations for toxic goiter].

The authors employed peridural anesthesia in 92 patients with thyrotoxicosis According to their findings peridural anesthesia produced favourable shifts in the status of the cardiovascular system and ventilatory apparatus. Peridural anesthesia is considered to be a more acceptible method of anesthesiological provision in patients with toxic goiter than infiltrationanesthesia and intratracheal fluothane anesthesia.
