The role of pulmonary hypertension in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma.

In patients with bronchial asthma, when blood pressure in the pulmonary artery is measured, very often hypertension is registered. This pulmonary hypertension is not secondary to hypoventilation, as in patients with chronic bronchitis or pulmonary emphysema, since patients with bronchial asthma are hyperventilating. The pulmonary hypertension in them must be therefore classified as primary. It is probable that its origin is in an allergic vasoconstriction of the pulmonary artery, occurring simultaneously with the well known bronchoconstriction.

The influence of blood hydrogen ion concentration on the level of consciousness in diabetic ketoacidosis.

Among 287 cases of diabetic ketoacidosis, 212 patients were alert, 48 drowsy, 10 stuporous and 17 comatose. The mean blood hydrogen ion concentrations in these 4 groups of patients were 50.0; 72.8; 106.8 and 109.9 nmol/l, respectively. Increased blood hydrogen ion concentration seems to be an important factor in lowering the level of consciousness in diabetic ketoacidosis.

[Prevention of delayed cardiogenic shock in 850 patients with myocardial infarction (author's transl)].

In 850 patients with acute myocardial infarction, cardiac output has been checked daily with acid-base-balance determinations, respiratory alcalosis being a sign of decreased cardiac output. In 84 patients without spontaneous increase of low cardiac output, treatment with cardiac glycosides has been started with the aim to prevent delayed cardiogenic shock: only 1 patient died in delayed cardiogenic shock and 3 patients in delayed heart failure. In the remaining 766 patients, only 1 patient died in delayed heart failure. With this successful prevention, the overall hospital lethality has dropped to 11.06% as compared with 21.70% in 3272 comparable patients in the literature.
