[Effect of Bioglobulin on the clinical course of selected diseases of viral and bacterial etiologies].

The therapeutic effect of Bioglobulin was studied in some diseases of viral or bacterial etiology. It was found favorable as it seemed to lessen the clinical and the shorten the acute as well as the hospitalisation periods. Because in the very serious and serious diseases of viral or bacterial etiology the antibodies deficiency, absolute or relative, total or selective is common, Bioglobulin may be a valuable agent in the comprehensive treatment.

[Etiology, clinical course, and the methods and results of the treatment of suppurative meningoencephalitis in adults--personal observations data].

The authors discuss problems connected with the clinical, aetiological diagnosis, methods and results of treatment of purulent meningoencephalitis in adults. The basis for the discussion were own experiences obtained during hospitalization of 578 patients in the period 1981-1990. As a results of this analysis the authors found that the organisms causing this disease most frequently were, as previously, Neisseria meningitidis and anaerobic Haemophilus influenzae were still highly unsatisfactory. Complete recovery was obtained in 73.3% of cases, 6.6% were discharged with various neurological sequelae, and 29.1% died. Cases of pneumococcal origin, frequent after cranial trauma, showed the most severe course, had the highest percent of psychoneurological complications and recurrences with the highest death rate.

[Injury of the acromial end of the clavicle imitating dislocation of the acromio-clavicular joint].

Two patients have been presented: a 15-years-old boy with rupture of the clavicular-coracoid ligaments as in total acromioclavicular dislocation, in whom dislocation of that joint did not occur but acromial epiphysiolysis of the clavicle (this patient, was successfully treated surgically) and 5-years-old boy with strain of the clavicular-coracoid ligaments and fracture of the acromial end of the clavicle; he was treated conservatively with remaining of angular dislocation of the distal fragment. The hope for rebuilding of the axis was fulfilled in that child. The anatomical and functional result in both patients is good.

Acromioclavicular Joint

[Fixation of multi-fragment fracture of the clavicle using an external stabilizer "Zespol"].

After a short presentation of the treatment methods of clavicle shaft fracture and the atypical use of Zespol stabilization in other than union of long bones shaft operation, the treated patient with ++multi-fragment clavicle shaft fracture with indications for operative reposition and fragments osteosynthesis has been presented. The Zespol plate and 4 screws were used above the skin as an external stabilizer for immobilization of the fragments. A good result was achieved: bone union and full mobility of the joints.
