Resting energy expenditure in patients with cirrhosis of the liver measured by indirect calorimetry, anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance analysis.
Energy expenditure was investigated in 15 patients with liver cirrhosis and 20 healthy controls by three methods: indirect calorimetry, anthropometry using the Harris-Benedict equation and bioelectrical impedance analysis. The energy expenditure was expressed in kcal/day, kcal/kg BW/day (BW - body weight), kcal/kg LBM/day (LBM - lean body mass, derived by bioelectrical impedance analysis) or in kcal/m2/day. We did not find statistical differences between values of resting energy expenditure obtained in patients with cirrhosis of the liver and healthy controls whichever method we used. We also did not find statistical differences between values obtained by indirect calorimetry, anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance analysis. There was a significant correlation between indirect calorimetry and anthropometry in both groups. We found significant correlations between indirect calorimetry and anthropometry, and between indirect calorimetry and bioelectrical impedance analysis, in the control group only. We can conclude that (1) resting energy expenditure of patients with cirrhosis of the liver is not changed when compared with healthy controls, and (2) bioelectrical impedance is a useful method to calculate body composition from which energy expenditure is derived; however, it gives an appropriate result only in healthy people, and only approximate values in patients with cirrhosis.

[Level of cortisol in blood serum of maternal and umbilical cord during various methods of delivery].
The effect of stress during labor on the plasma concentration of cortisol was studied in 82 women. The total cortisol levels in the maternal serum and cord blood were measured by radioimmunoassay during spontaneous labor (PSN), oxytocin induced labor (PI), elective cesarean section (CCE), and emergency cesarean section (CCC). The result indicate that cortisol level was higher after PI (710 ng/ml) and CCC (755.4 ng/ml) and lower in CCE (278.9 ng/ml) in the maternal vein. In cord blood after CCC was higher (530.8 ng/ml), and lower after CCE (157.8 ng/ml).

[Syphilitic hepatitis].
A case of hepatic lues is described manifesting itself with yellow discoloration of the sclerae and raised aminotransferase level. The patient was referred to hospital with the diagnosis of virus hepatitis. Rash was observed on the trunk. Differential diagnostic procedures and good result of specific treatment established the diagnosis of luetic background of liver disease.

[Risk of Listeria infections in humans].
Serological and clinical examinations were made among persons contacting animals infected by listeriosis. It was found that the risk of the infection among humans is small.
