[Bronchoscopy and bronchography in newborn infants and infants].

In 20 years (1965 to 1984) 428 infants (604 investigations) in the first year of life were bronchoscoped in our hospital; 109 out of them were newborns (119 investigations). Bronchographies were performed in 94 infants including 2 newborns. In the last 10 years the number of investigations decreased. Most frequent indications of bronchoscopies were stridor, aspiration and atelectasis. The usefulness of bronchological investigations in patients with oesophago-tracheal fistula, tracheal stenosis following long time intubation and bronchopulmonary dysplasia is pointed out. The diagnostic bronchoalveolar lavage can be recommended for newborns and infants too.

[Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL)--a diagnostic method in chronic nonspecific bronchopulmonary diseases in childhood. 1. Implementation and tolerance].

While the effectiveness of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in pediatric therapy has been recognized for years, there are hardly any data on its usefulness in diagnosis, its performance and compatibility in childhood. After 123 bronchological investigations including BAL on 118 children in the age of three months through 16 years, with lavage fluid amounts between 40 and 160 ml, febrile reactions occurred in 17 cases (= 13.8%), i.e. no more frequent than in a group of 100 children bronchologically investigated but without BAL. After blood gas analyses, ECG examinations, blood pressure readings the compatibility of BAL turned out to be good in children of every age. Bronchography pictures after BAL were not reduced in quality, atelectasis formation occurred rarely.

[Anesthesiologic problems in endoscopic interventions of the respiratory organs].

In 28 patients--16 normotensive and 12 hypertensive patients--anaesthetized with hexobarbitone, halothane, nitrous oxide/oxygen and intermittent doses of suxamethonium we examined the influence of diagnostic bronchoscopy on arterial blood pressure, heart frequency, rate pressure product as well as acid-base balance and arterial oxygen partial pressure. Both groups of patients showed a remarkable and highly significant increase in these hemodynamic parameters during intubation, extubation and bronchial lavage. Clinically relevant changes of acid-base balance and arterial oxygen partial pressure which could be responsible for these hemodynamic reactions did not occur. Sympathicotonic reflexes caused by the bronchoscopy are considered to be the main causes for the increase in blood pressure, heart frequency and rate pressure product. They can only be prevented by a sufficient narcosis depth.

Changes in psychic and somatic well-being and cognitive capabilities of peri- and postmenopausal women after the use of a hormone replacement drug containing estradiol valerate and levonorgestrel.

A multicenter, prospective, open-label postmarketing surveillance study examined to what extent 2-month oral hormone replacement therapy (estradiol valerate and levonorgestrel; Klimonorm) could produce changes in psychosomatic well-being, self esteem and cognitive capabilities in 78 peri- and postmenopausal women. The women included were 42-58 years of age and had approached the physician due to climacteric symptoms. The following tests were used: Kupperman index, Menopause Rating Scale (MRS II), General Depression Scale (ADS), Zerssen's Symptom List (B-L), Frankfurt Self-Concept Scales (FSAL, FSAP, FSEG, FSSW), Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), d2 Test of Attention and Number Square Test. The results showed a clear improvement in subjective psychosomatic well-being and improvements to a lesser extent in the concentration and cognitive capabilities in women in the third treatment cycle.
