Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate status of bone metabolism in patients on chronic maintenance dialysis, to elucidate dominant mechanisms in the genesis of renal osteodistrophy (ROD) with simultaneous measuring of biochemical regulators and parameters of bone metabolism and scintigraphic study of metabolic activity of the skeleton. We found that disturbance of skeletal homeostasis existed in all patients, dominant hyperparathyroid bone disease was found in most of them, mixed uremic osteodistrophy (hyperparathyroidism and vitamin D deficiency) was observed in less percent, i.e. only in 6% renal bone disease with low turnover due to osteomalacia or adynamic bone disease was present. Simultaneous determinations of most relevant factors of bone metabolism and scintiscan discover changes in skeletal homeostasis, and can prevent severe disturbances and treat adequately those ones which already exist.

Dermatoglyphics in patients with Cenani-Lenz type syndactyly: studies in a new case.

We describe an additional case of Cenani-Lenz syndactylism in a 4 1/2-year-old boy from a consanguineous Turkish family. The digital anomalies consisted partly of synostosis and partly of malformations of the phalanges. Although there was no radio-ulnar synostosis or abnormality of the bones of the feet, the findings are comparable to those described in the Cenani-Lenz type of syndactyly. We analysed the dermatoglyphics of our patient and compared them with those previously reported. We also investigated the relationship between the bony malformations and the dermatoglyphic patterns in our patient and in the literature.

[Immediate orthopedic surgery in multiple trauma].

The increase in mortality and morbidity from multiple trauma due to road accidents, industrial trauma and combat injuries obligates treatment based on emergency systems and trauma centers. Follow-up of the frequency of different types of injury calls attention to increasing involvement of the orthopedic surgeon in primary treatment. This situation calls for appropriate deployment of immediate surgical treatment which will rapidly enable mobility. We present several methods for immediate orthopedic treatment of multiple-trauma patients.
