The article discusses the experience of teaching and conducting spirometry of general practitioners as part of the RESPECT study (RESearch on the PrEvalence and the diagnosis of COPD and its Tobacco-related aetiology). A total of 33 trained in spirometry general practitioners performed a study of 3119 patients. Quality criteria met 84.1% of spirometric studies. The analysis of the most common mistakes made by doctors during the forced expiratory maneuver is included. The most frequent errors were expiration exhalation of less than 6s (54%), non-maximal effort throughout the test and lack of reproducibility (11.3%). Independent predictors of poor spirogram quality were male gender, obstruction (FEV1 /FVC<0.7), and the center where the study was performed. The number of good-quality spirograms ranged from 96.1% (95% CI 83.2–110.4) to 59.8% (95% CI 49.6–71.4) depending on the center. Subsequently, an analysis of the reasons behind the poor quality of research in individual centers was conducted and the identified shortcomings were eliminated. The poor quality of the spirograms was associated either with the errors of the doctors who undertook the study or with the technical malfunctions of the spirometer.

AbstractObjective: This study aims to determine the correlation between risk factors and erosive esophagitis development.Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study on a consecutive series of 19.672 patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy between 01.01.2011-31.12.2017. A total of 3005 patients, diagnosed with erosive esophagitis, were included in the present study and stratified according to Los Angeles classification.Results: During the studied period we found 3005 patients with erosive esophagitis, sex ratio male to female was 1.3/1, the most common forms of esophagitis being grade A and B: 74.54% patients with esophagitis grade A, 14.80% patients with grade B; 5.29% patients were with grade C and 5.35% patients with esophagitis grade D. In severe esophagitis the male predominance was more prevalent (249 males, 71 female), with a sex ratio 3.50/1. The correlation of male gender with severe esophagitis was highly statistically significant (p < 0.0001, OR 2.97; 95% CI 2.25-3.91). Hiatal hernia was diagnosed in 1171 patients, the presence of large hiatal hernias, being an important predictor, with statistical significance (p < 0.0001, OR 3.41; 95% CI 2.22-5.21), for severe esophagitis development. Incidence of Helicobacter pylori infection was 11.51%, in the entire study group, with no statistical significant difference between patients with mild or severe esophagitis (12.02% vs 7.18%).Conclusion: Erosive esophagitis is a frequent disease, the most common forms being grade A and B. Male gender and the presence of hiatal hernia are the most important risk factors for erosive esophagitis development, in our study group.

Aim: To evaluate the application of permanent pacemaker and optimal programmation associated with Nora G. checklist in pacemaker implantation. Patients and methods: we analyse the 35 cases who were implanted the permanent pacemakers we analyse the 35 cases who were implanted the permanent pacemakers in 2017. For inclusion criteria, we used the recomendation of ACC/AHA/ HRS and Vietnam Heart Association. Apply the C arm fluoroscopy to perform the implantation of the permanent pacemaker. Most of patients were performed the subclavian vein and cephalic vein as the main way but some cases we choosed the external jugular vein as the alternative route. Results: male gender was 60%, mean age was 71.97±12.55. Mostly cardiac arrhythmia were sick sinus syndrome (42.86%), atrial fibrillation with slow rate response (17.14%), blocAVII nd degree Mobitz II (14.28%), bloc AV III rd (11.42%), the underlying diseases were arterial hypertension 42.86%, coronary disease (20%), diabetes mellitus (14.29%). The implanted pacemekers were predominantly one chamber VVIR type (47.5%). The complications was rare and there were a clear recovery of clinical symptoms and mortality death following the Nora checklist. Conclusion: VT technology is an integral part of the treatment of arrhythmias, especially the optimal combination of programming and the Nora checklist, which makes it more effective. Key words: permanent pacemaker, optimal programmation
