[Clinical manifestations of secondary pneumonia in patients of general surgical departments].

Analysis of records of surgical patients and protocols of anatomicopathological investigations in autopsy tissues with changes in the lungs characteristic of pneumonia suggest to us that secondary pneumonia comes up to 38.5% of all post mortem examinations. In 9 percent of the deceased, secondary pneumonia appeared to be a direct cause of death. The frequency rate of pneumonia in operated patients ranged between 0.3-0.5% and 68%, this concerning largely aged and senile patients and also those patients with polytraumata, in surgical interventions in organs of the thorax, abdominal cavity, in full-thickness burns. A considerable number (30%) of diagnostic errors of pneumonia in surgical departments is due to a complicated character and extreme diversity of clinical manifestations of the underlying medical condition or polytraumata.

[The characteristics of the clinical course and the frequency and difficulties in the diagnosis of visceral lesions in rheumatoid arthritis].

A clinical and morphological analysis was done in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), that showed high incidence (61.8%) of lesions of the internals in RA. Affliction of the heart was present in 48 percent of cases, that of the lungs and pleura in 47.6 percent, renal lesions were recordable in 23 percent, serious breakdown of the liver in 16 percent, and of the alimentary canal in 22 percent of cases, with the associated visceral lesions present in a major part of the population. Considering high incidence of visceral lesions in RA and their impact on the gravity of the course of the disease and, not infrequently, on the prognosis we consider it necessary for the practitioners to bend their energies to thorough clinical examination of the RA patients when he or she first applied for medical advice. Other measures to be instituted include deliberate dynamic observation, timely prescription of adequate complex therapy and inauguration of preventive measures during the period of remission of the disease.

[Symptoms of acute inhalation lesions caused by trichloronitromethane].

A study of 13 patients revealed three periods of trichlornitromethane intoxication: irritation, latent (average 2-5 hours) and development of pulmonary edema. With high concentration of trichlornitromethane vapours and long exposition the latent period was significantly shorter or was absent. The course of the first and second period was similar while the thirds proved to be different. Timely use of etiopathogenetic and symptomatic treatment was effective and result in clinical recovery.

[The prognosis of the degree of severity of acute ethylene glycol poisoning].

The acid-base status was studied in 61 patients with acute ethylene glycol poisoning. A correlation was established between the severity of poisoning and concentration of hydrogen ions (pH) as well as the buffer capacitance, that are the most distinct criteria of determination of the severity grade of ethylene glycol poisoning and may be used not only in the prognosis of outcomes of intoxications but also evaluating indications to early employment of active treatment methods.

[The rehabilitation of young patients with a history of acute pneumonia].

The author reports data on 1120 patients with acute pneumonia. Age of the patients varied from 19 to 23 years. Complex treatment resulted in 52.7% of patients in normalization of clinico-roentgenological, laboratory findings and ventilation capacity of the lungs while 30.3% retained asthenic syndrome within 2-3 weeks after discharge from the hospital, 17% showed moderate disorders of the ventilatory pulmonary function before discharge from the hospital. For normalization of pulmonary ventilation rehabilitation measures were carried in out-patient conditions from 3 to 10 months. Determination of spirographic rates and spirographic bicycle ergometry are valuable criteria in assessment of the functional rehabilitation of the above category of patients.
