[Prognostic value of cardiotocograms during labor evaluated with Fisher's index in prediction of fetal acidosis].

The cardiotocography beside ultrasonography plays fundamental role in supervision of fetal well-being during gestation and labour. There were performed an analysis of 32 labour cardiotocograms according to Fisher and referred them to pH of fetal umbilical vein. There were proved high significant statistical relation between Fisher's index and pH p = 0.0002 (r = 0.61) and BE p = 0.0006 (r = 0.47) umbilical vein blood. In prediction of fetal acidosis the value of Fisher index in pH < or = 7.25 and described the sensitivity 100%, false positive 72.7%, false negative 0% and accuracy 75%. Obtained date do not differ from those given in literature. The low positive prediction and related with this high percentage of false positive results determine the fault of this indirect method of fetal status estimation.

[Value of histocytological examinations of the nasal mucosa in pollinosis].

Cytogramme analyses have been made on the nasal mucosae of 100 patients affected with pollinosis. Ten of the cases had a histocytological examination during the season and also during winter. In the period of symptom upsurge neutrophil cytogrammes were seen in 31% of patients, 30% had eosinophils and the remainder had eosinophils and neutrophils. Basophils were seen in the cytogrammes from 38 patients (mean 4 to 15%). In those patients where the cytogrammes were eosinophils and neutrophils and the titre of basophils was below 15%, Lomusol, Beconase and hyposensitisation were found to be effective, in contrast to those in whom the cytogrammes had more than 70% of eosinophils or more than 15% basophils.
