Inevitable hysterectomy despite conservative surgical management in advanced cervical pregnancy: a case report.

A 35-year-old woman was diagnosed to have cervical pregnancy of 10.2 weeks duration. Methotrexate therapy was not chosen due to the presence of active tuberculosis. Since the patient had gradually increasing vaginal hemorrhage, she was taken to the operating room. A dilatation and curettage could not control the hemorrhage. A laparotomy was performed and the uterine arteries were ligated. A cervical hysterotomy was also performed to evacuate the products of conception. There was active bleeding in the cervix although no products of conception were observed. Two purse string sutures were placed, but the persistence of profuse bleeding despite these measures necessitated total hysterectomy.

Effect of different daily doses of gizzerosine on the serum 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol concentration in laying hens.

Five groups of laying hens were treated with different gizzerosine doses (0, 2.5; 5.0; 7.5; 10.0 mg/kg/body weight of gizzerosine) daily over a 21-day period to determine the serum concentrations of 1.25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25(OH)2D), total calcium, inorganic phosphorus and magnesium. Blood samples were taken on days 7, 14, and 21 of the experiment. The concentration of 1,25(OH)2D remained unchanged after day 7 in the gizzerosine-treated birds compared to the control group. After 14 days, it was significantly lower in the birds receiving. gizzerosine, compared with the control group. On day 21, 1,25(OH2)D concentrations were also significantly decreased in all 4 gizzerosine-treated groups compared with the control hens. The serum total calcium, inorganic phosphorus and total magnesium concentrations varied significantly, but irregularly, during the period of the study.

[Fiberoptic bronchoscopy in intensive care units].

The authors have retrospectively analysed 161 bedside fiberoptic bronchoscopies performed at intensive care units and demonstrate its' main indications, results and influences on the patients' condition. In 35.4% of cases immediate improvement was observed, in 31.6% the examination contributed to choose the proper treatment. Due to the safe method only one serious complication occurred because of bronchoscopy. The results justify-according to the literature-that fiberoptic bronchoscopy is an indispensable method to check airways and for diagnostical and therapeutic interventions of critically ill patients.

[Experience with transbronchial lung biopsy].

The histological results of transbronchial lung biopsies have been analysed in 109 patients with diffuse or localised lung diseases. This diagnostic procedure is relatively safe, well tolerable and can be carried out in outpatients. In diffuse lung diseases its use can replace the open lung biopsy. The efficacy of this method depends on the availability of biplanar fluoroscopy, the quality of the excisors, the quantity and size of the biopsy material and the technique of the histological handling.

[The role of Nd-YAG in the management of tracheobronchial stenosis].

122 patients with the main airway stenosis were treated with Nd-YAG laser phototherapy. The endobronchial laser treatment was performed either with flexible bronchoscope (64%), or with rigid instrument (36%). This method can result a final recovery of the patients with benign tumors, or inflammatory processes, at the patients with malignant tumors can be achieved an effective palliation. Taking account the generally accepted indications and contraindications of the endobronchial laser phototherapy the number of the complications can be reduced.

[Combination of high dose after-loading radiation therapy and percutaneous irradiation in the management of tumors of the major airways].

17 patients with malignant main airway tumours were treated with combined high dose rate afterloading and external beam irradiation. The improvement of the general conditions of the patients and that of the leading symptoms (dyspnoe, cough) were observed in all cases. First experiences corresponding with those of others suggest that this method should be integrated routinely in the management of main airway malignancies with endoluminal exophytic involvement.

[The use of endoprostheses (stents) in airway stenosis].

Six patients with obstruction of the trachea were treated with silicone rubber endothracheal stents implanted with flexible bronchoscope. In every case the stent caused significant clinical improvement of the ventilation. At the postintubation stenosis the stent can result a final recovery, at the malignant processes the implantation seems to be a new palliative method.

[Reference values in immunodiagnosis: the approach using the Senieur protocol].

In an attempt to standardize the normal values for immunological tests it is necessary to establish strict admission criteria. The EURAGE Concerted Action Programme on Ageing of the European Community described the SENIEUR protocol with criteria for immunological studies in man, based on clinical and laboratory information. Our results on humoral and cellular components of immunity in dependence of age, according to SENIEUR protocol admission criteria are presented.
