[The general aspects of the epidemiology of hospital infections--the measures for prevention and control].

The author analyzes the 3 important factors of in-hospital infections--the source of infection, route of transmission and the receptive organism, with details regarding the measures of prevention and control. Emphasis is laid on the role of the hospital personal which have an effective contribution in the prevention of these diseases, namely: a) strict application of hygiene measures (hospitalization conditions, microclimate, food, water supply, removal of wastes and residues, sterilization, disinfection, cleaning, etc.); b) choice of procedures of investigations and therapy with minimum risk of infection, application of asepsis and antisepsis techniques, the judicious use of antibiotics; c) accurate, prompt evaluation of the infectious potential and receptivity of the patients; d) clinical surveillance of the patients and health of the personal; e) corresponding professional education of the entire personal of the hospital. Further indications are given regarding correct performance of disinfection and sterilization and the substances used.

Biochemical markers in ovarian cancer.

Fucose and sialic acid were measured in 41 patients with malignant ovarian tumors and in 25 patients with benign tumors. Supplementary, serial determinations done in 20 patients, with advanced ovarian cancer subjected to primary or secondary surgery (optimal tumor debulking) and subsequent chemotherapy enables to suggest the possibility to use these parameters as markers in monitoring ovarian cancer evolution and treatment.

[The transpectoral blockade of the brachial plexus (author's transl)].

The brachial plexus can be located and blocked by a needle inserted perpendicularly to the frontal plane 3 cm medial to the coracoid process and 3 cm caudad to the clavicula. The method is easy to master, complications are of little consequence and the success rate with some experience high.

Levels of principal 17-ketosteroid fractions in urine of breast cancer patients with or without malignant evolutive push.

The main fractions of 17-ketosteroids were estimated in 102 women with breast cancer. Sixty two patients were cases with rapid evolution (malignant evolutive push) or very rapid evolution (inflammatory breast carcinoma). The mean ethiocholanolone levels and partially androsterone levels were significantly decreased in patients with rapid evolution in comparison with the corresponding values found in patients with breast cancer of slow growth.

Clinical and hormonal aspects in breast cancer with special reference to malignant evolutive push.

It is tried to differentiate between various stages of malignant evolutive push and normal mammary tumors to establish an individual therapeutic procedure. Besides mammography and thermometry, investigations of urinary excretions of estrogenic and androgenic steriods are qualified for this purpose. Patients with malignant evolutive push showed an increased excretion of estrogens which reached its highest levels in patients suffering from inflammatory mammary carcinomas. The excretion of 17-ketosteroids shows a behaviour vice versa. Altogether mammary tumors with malignant evolutive push are characterized by a state of absolute and relative hyperestrogenity respectively. This phenomenon preferably depends on the clinical stage of the disease than on the age of the patients.

[Hormonal patterns in breast cancers].

Urinary outpout of oestrogens and 17-ketosteroids were estimated in 200 women with breast cancer; 60 of them were cases with rapid evolution (malignant evolutive push). The majority of cases analysed had abnormal hormonal levels, especially of oestrogens. The average oestrogenic levels are higher than the normal values; the highest values correspond to the most severe and rapidly evolutive type of breast cancer, the inflammatory breast carcinoma. In the patients without evolutive push, the proportion of cases with absolute or relative hypooestrogeny is approximately equal toor exceeds the proportion of hyperoestrogenic cases. In the presence of the evolutive push and especially of his most severe type, inflammatory carcinoma, the cases with hyperoestrogeny, both absolute and relative, by hypoandrogeny, are dominant. The proportion of cases with higher 17-ketosteroid urinary outputs than the normal mean is greater in the patients without evolutive push, while in those with evolutive push, the majority of cases have lower values of 17-ketosteroids than the normal mean.

[The clinico-evolutionary considerations of 492 cases of measles hospitalized in the Infectious Disease Clinic Iaşi in 1997].

Between 01.01.1997-31.12.1997 in the Infections Diseases Clinical Hospital of Iaşi were admitted 492 patients suffering from measles. The above mentioned number of patients represents 4.92% of all the patients (10097) who were admitted during this period of time. More than half of the patients (56.9%) are residents in suburban arias. Teen-agers and young adults (15-24 years) were involved in most of the cases, followed by new born babies (0-11 months). The clinical signs were prevalent minor and the atypical exanthema was found in 1/4 of all cases. The most frequent complications were pneumonia, bronchopneumonia and otitis media. Of all the patients, two children (average age 1-4 years) died.
