[Cefuroxime axetil (Zinnat)--laboratory and clinical study].

The authors investigated the antibacterial action of cefuroxim in vitro and proved its relatively broad spectrum of action. Administration of the esterified form, Zinnat, produced very satisfactory therapeutic concentrations of cefuroxim in serum, bile tissue of operated gallbladders. The prophylactic administration of the combined parenteral and oral form of cefuroxim proved excellent in biliary surgery in twenty patients.

[Carcinoid of the duodenum in neurofibromatosis].

The authors described a very rare case of duodenal carcinoid in neurofibrimatosis in a 53-year-old patient who was treated by local excision of the tumour. In the discussion they draw attention to the possible development of carcinoid in neurofibromatosis as a manifestation of systemic affection of neuroectodermal tissues.

[Traumatic ruptures of the diaphragm].

The authors present a group of three traumatic ruptures of the diaphragm and call attention to the possibility of this injury in blunt injuries of the chest or abdomen. In the diagnostic part they describe the complex character of diagnosis of rupture of the diaphragm even when modern non-invasive examination methods are used, some of which (CT) may give false positive results. The authors describe typical symptoms leading to the diagnosis.

[Periodic discharges in clinical electroencephalography].

The authors recorded generalized and focal periodic discharges in 49 EEG tracings from 27 patients aged 5 to 75 years. According to the shape of the waves and their complexes generalized periodic discharges were formed by slow waves, sharp waves or spikes, triphasic waves and periodic activity of the "suppression burst" type. Focal periodic discharges had the shaps of slow waves and so-called periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges. Six patients suffered from Creutzfeldt-Jacob's disease and from herpetic encephalitis. Four had an acute cerebrovascular attack. Three suffered from subacute sclerotizing panencephalitis. Other conditions found included metabolic brain damage, post-traumatic purulent meningitis, anoxic encephalopathy and partial motor convulsions. Different types of periodic discharges were found in the same disease and even in the same patient and conversely one type of periodic discharges is found in different diseases. The authors assume that periodic discharges are not specific, have a different aetiology but obviously a common pathophysiological mechanism. From the EEG alone conclusions on the aetiology can be drawn only with a limited probability. It is necessary to use a comprehensive approach in their evaluation, taking account age, the clinical picture and development as well as results of other examinations. The 70.3% mortality in the group provides evidence that periodic discharges are a serious finding as regards the prognosis of the disease.

[Indications for liver resection].

In a group of 103 resections of the liver made in 1978-1987 at the Surgical Clinic of the Medical Faculty of Hygiene, Charles University the authors evaluated the diagnostic possibilities of circumscribed hepatic lesions. They evaluated orientational and aimed methods which make it possible to plan the extent of the surgical operation. The diagnostic system elaborated by the authors makes it possible to outline the indications more accurately and serves the elaboration of the tactics of the operation proper.
