A Prospective Study

Aim A prospective study was undertaken to assess the diagnostic value and therapeutic usefulness of fibreoptic bronchoscopy in the critically ill. Method Fifty-six bronchoscopies were performed in fifty patients. Biochemical, radiological, microbiological and clinical assessments were made before and after each procedure. Results Eighteen fibreoptic bronchoscopies were performed for therapeutic indications (32.1%) of which ten (55.6%) yielded a useful outcome. Thirty-eight bronchoscopies were for diagnostic purposes (67.8%) of which 22 (5 7.9%) were clinically useful. Broncho-alveolar lavage was performed in twenty-eight cases (50%) and it led to a clinically useful diagnosis in 17 (60.7%). There was no major complication. A subgroup of patients was defined (persistent left lower lobe collapse or consolidation following thoracic or abdominal surgery) in whom fibreoptic bronchoscopy usually did not yield a useful outcome. Conclusion The use of fibreoptic bronchoscopy in the Intensive Care Unit, in combination with the technique of broncho-alveolar lavage, results in a clinically useful outcome in the majority of cases. Fibreoptic bronchoscopy is an effective and safe diagnostic and therapeutic tool in critically ill patients.

Segmental Arteries

In the structure of arterial hypertension, primary aldosteronism (РА) ranges from 5 to 15%. Changes in intrarenal hemodynamics are due to both high blood pressure and direct aldosterone level. The purpose of the study was to analyze the results of PA treatment according to ultrasound doppler scanning of renal arteries. In general, 55 patients with PA were treated. Renal arteries duplex scanning before and after the treatment was performed in 20 patients. During treatment, the normalization of Vps, Ved, S/D, PI, PI, AT, TAMX indices was recorded in patients. The RI of the interlobar arteries slightly increased, however, it remained within the reference range. The reduction of aldosterone levels led to increase of TAMX index at the level of the renal artery trunk, S/D, RI and decrease in AT at the level of the segmental arteries, as well as increase of Ved and S/D at the level of the interlobar arteries.

The results of treatment of 72 patients with echinococcosis of the liver were analyzed, women – 62 (86.2%), men – 10 (13.8%). Primary echinococcosis was detected in 69 (95.8%) patients, secondary – in 3 (4.2%). Among instrumental research methods, ultrasound and computed tomography examination were of diagnostic value. Single liver cysts were found in 63 (87.5%) patients, multiple – in 9 (12.5%). Among patients with solitary cysts, the right lobe was more often affected than the left – 48 (66.7%) vs 24 (33.3%) cases. Echinococcosis of central localization was less common and was noted in 8 (11.1%) cases. Echinococcosis complications were observed in 16 (22.2%) patients. Among them, most often there were suppurations of the cyst – in 13 (18.1%); a bursting of the cyst into the free abdominal cavity – in 1 (1.4%), in the pleural cavity – 1 (1.4%), in the biliary tract – in 1 (1.4%). Partial or complete liming of the hand was observed in 12 (16.7%) patients. In 20 (27.8%) cases, the operation was performed from the upper median access, in 42 (58.3%) – from oblique hypochondria accesses by Kocher or by Fedorov. Pericystectomy was performed in 48 (66.7%) patients, in 8 (11.1%) patients underwent resections of liver segments with an echinococcal cyst, in 4 (5.6%) – cyst opening with removal of contents and treatment of its cavity. Laparoscopic echinococectomy was used in 12 (16.7%) patients. In the postoperative period complications were observed in 16 (22.2%) patients. The use of the welding electrocoagulator EK-300M "Swarmed" in the thermal rehabilitation of the walls of the residual cavity after echinococectomy allowed to reduce blood loss from 2200±210 ml to 250±50 ml. With the use of laparoscopic echinococectomy, intraoperative blood loss was reduced by 9 times (р=0.0001); duration of operation – 2 times (р<0.05), stay in hospital – 3.3 times (р=0.002). There were no fatal outcomes. Before and after operation antirelapse antiparasitic therapy with albendazole (Vormil) was performed in two cycles of 28 days, separated by a 14-day break. The dose at body weight over 60 kg was 400 mg 2 times a day, and for less than 60 kg the drug was calculated at a rate of 15 mg/kg/day. There were 2 (2.8%) cases of relapse, there was no mortality.

Abstract Background Mandibular deviations are common clinical complaints. The orthodontic or orthognathic treatment of mandibular deviations is tricky because a comprehensive diagnosis, especially a functional one, is difficult to make. A inaccurate diagnosis may lead to a compromised and unstable treatment outcome. Case presentation This article describes the diagnosis and treatment of a woman with a mandibular deviation and facial skeletal asymmetry. By eliminating the disharmony of the arch form with elastics and bite turbos, her esthetic and functional outcomes improved. Cone-beam CT (CBCT) and Joint Space Index (JSI) analyses served as the diagnostic approaches and outcome evaluation methods before and after treatment. Conclusions A condyle position displacement could be an indication of functional deviation. JSI analysis is a quantitative and convenient choice to compare condyle relative positions.
