[Surgical cerclage in the treatment of cervical incompetence during pregnancy (determining the legitimacy of the procedure)].

The authors studied the effectiveness of the cervical cerclage operation in the therapy of cervical insufficiency during the pregnancy. Two Hundred sixteen pregnant women took part in this trial in whose pregnancy the necessity of cerclage operation was not unequivocal. It means, that the therapeutical cerclage operation was not necessary, but the necessity of prophylactic cerclage operation was doubtful as well. From the randomized 216 cases they performed cerclage operation in 108 pregnancies and in 108 cases they did not perform it. In the respect of pregnancy care they did not make any difference between the two groups. The authors from their trial draw the conclusion, that in doubtful cases where the necessity of cervical cerclage operation is not unequivocal--e.g. at serious gestational case history--it is advisable to perform the operation. The danger of premature birth can be diminished in this way.

[Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Initial experiences].

Between February 1991 and July 1991, 74 laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed. The number of all cholecystectomies during this period was 168. Two surgeons performed the operations. Stone in the common bile duct, old age, acute cholecystitis, severe obesity and heart rhythm disorders were regarded as contraindications. The duration of the operation was 45-210 min. (mean 127 min). The intervention was diverted to open cholecystectomy in 2 instances (2.7%). Early postoperative complications were observed in 2 cases (2.7%): biliary discharge and bleeding. Reoperation was necessary in one patient (1.3%) because of bleeding. There was no operative mortality. The mean duration of hospitalization was 5.6 days, and the mean postoperative period was 2.7 days. It is considered that, laporoscopic cholecystectomy can be carried out only by specialists in both bile surgery and laparoscopic techniques, provided that all the personal and technical conditions necessary for traditional cholecystectomies are at hand. Both medically and economically, the laparoscopic cholecystectomy results attain or even exceed those of the traditional open technique.

[Individual and average weight requirements of pharmaceutical preparations].

Authors studied the weight deviations allowed by non-statistically constructed individual and average weight requirements of Pharmacopoeas under consideration of normal Gaussian distribution. Normality was examined on a given suppository product and has been established, that in this case theoretically the hypothesis of normal distribution is not valid. For this reason deviation characteristics calculated according to the severest and the lightest Pharmacopoean requirements have been presented, i.e. the lower limit (if the deviation is less than this limit, the preparation meets the requirements by all means), and the upper limit (if the deviation is larger than this limit, the preparation definitively does not meet the requirements) respectively. Moreover, deviation characteristics calculated for continuous Gaussian distribution and for discrete distribution with few elements (representing a good approximation of the former) are given in the paper. On the basis of these results authors suggested to modernize the requirements of Pharmacopoeas and to continue research work in this direction.
