摘要:

SummaryIn 380 consecutive intensively treated patients, in-hospital mortality was calculated and correlated with the number of complications, age and number of organ systems involved.162 patients died (4.1 %) and 218 survived (57 %). Of the total of 1,669 diagnoses (4.39 per patient), 683 were present in the surviving (3.13 per patient) and 986 in the non-surviving group (6.09 per patient).Age and number of organ-systems involved did not offer much supplementary help as prognostic indices.In addition those diseases associated with a significant better or worse prognosis were evaluated by statistical methods.Knowledge of the number of complications present in an intensive care patient, seems to be useful for the prediction of the prognosis and the making of therapeutic decisions.

摘要:

SummaryWe studied 42 patients with cardiothyrcosis, principally selected from the department of Cardiology. I contained 37 % of the 112 patients with hyperthyroidism. who were admitted into the department of Internal Medicine in a five years period.Successively we paid attention to the age. the cardiac symptomatology and attendant elcctrocardiografic variations, the clinical evolution and the treatwent. The mortality rate amounted to 14,3 %.

摘要:

SummaryShortly alter the onset ol juvenile diabetes. 10 to 30 of patients recover from the absolute exogenous insulin dependence. I his remission period is transient. Insulin secretion during insulinotherapy can l>c assessed by the measurement of plasma CPeptide levels. I his allows to recognile the existence I complete or partial remission. I he frequency and duration of this«honeymoon period»of the juvenile diabetes is enhanced by an appropriate insulin treatment. I lie remission may be followed by prolonged periods during which a residual insulin secretion is detectable, the latter is insufficient to maintain normal blood glucose levels, but seems to be correlated with a good control of the disease. I his concept is confirmed by personal data.

摘要:

Summary28 abdominal pus yielded 67 microorganisms (33 aerobic and 34 anaerobic strains). The minimal inhibitory concentrations of all these strains were determined for penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, metronidazole and clindamycin. None of these antibiotics, even in combination (two antibiotics) covered all these bacteria.

摘要:

SummaryA case with insulinoma is described. Insulinoma is a secreting adenoma of islet-cells of the pancreas. The diagnosis relies upon clinical observation of hypoglycaemia attacks and upon demonstration of an inappropriate plasma insulin secretion. For this purpose, it appears that measurement of blood glucose and plasma insulin concentrations during an overnight or a prolonged fast is the most valuable test. The tolbutamide test and the insulin-induced hypoglycaemia with plasma C-peptide measurement may be helpful to improve the diagnosis. Selective arteriography i.s useful to locate the tumor(s).

摘要:

SummaryThe use of the C-peptide radioimmunoassay has become possible due to the availability of synthetic antigen and improvement in antisera production.Proinsulin cross-reactivity can be avoided and C-peptide specifically determined by extraction of proinsulin with sepharose-bound insulin antibodies. In insulin treated diabetics, proinsulin insulin antibody complexes can be precipitated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) or concentrated ethanol. C-peptide immunoassay is leasable even in presence of exogenous insulin.With this assay it has been shown that1) almost half of the growth-onset diabetics have a residual insulin secretion, 2) residualβ-ceil activity is associated with a better diabetic control and 3) perhaps a lesser degree of degenerative complications.Finally, hypoglycemic conditions can be better documented by simultaneous determination of Cpeptide and insulin in blood.

摘要:

SummaryThis case report concerns a 32 year old woman which presented with an upper mediastinal shadow on routine chest X-ray. Fourteen years before she had been examined because of a similar mediastinal mass. In spite of various examinations, among which pneumangiography, a correct diagnosis was not made at that time. Inspection of that very pneumangiogram allowed presently to establish the diagnosis of pseudocoarctation of the aortic arch. The present report thus lively illustrates the misleading character of this vascular anomaly. The clinical importance of its proper recognition is stressed in the discussion.
