[Hysterectomy of "necessity"--current evaluation].

Hysterectomy after caesarian section is a radical surgery intervention. The obstetricians take the decision as a last surgical attitude in major obstetrical emergency. We tried in this study to analyze the causes of post-caesarian section, because this surgical intervention is a mutilant one. In many cases this surgical intervention had been effectuated for abundant hemorrhage, uterine hypotonia, utero-placentar apoplexy. In some cases the intervention was indicated from the beginning of intervention. The clinic evolution after hysterectomy was a good one without major complications.

[THe role of biopsy in the early diagnosis of cancer of the cervix uteri].

Among the actions of early diagnosis of uterine cervix cancers, the sequence cytologic smear, colposcopy, cervix biopsy is well-known. The authors draw the attention that in some situations the cytologic smear and colposcopy are not sufficient and it is only biopsy that defines the nature of the lesion and may give therapeutic indications. Out of a series of 55 women to whom a cervix biopsy was performed, there were 27 cases in which biopsy was justified, showing either a severe lesion or the presence of koilocytes. The authors plead for a more frequent use of cervix biopsy as a means of early diagnosis of uterine cervix cancer or of its dysplasias.

Hypobaric hypoxia: dual sympathetic control in the light of RR and QT spectra.

ECGs of 21 candidate-pilots and 19 pilots were recorded during: 1) exposure to 5500 m hypobaric hypoxia (HH) while sitting, in the sequence: 1a) initial 7 min of adaptation (A); 1b) later 7 min of recovery (R) after short but intense tread-mill effort; and 2) final 7 min baseline (B), while sitting and requested to relax, at "0 m altitude" in the hypobaric room. RR and QT short-term variability were studied using spectral powers within Traube-Hering-Mayer (THM: 0.05-0.15 Hz) and respiratory (RESP: 0.2-0.4 Hz) bands. Mean RR proved highest capability to aggregate individual response-profiles: 15 pilots and 9 candidates entered the main (normal) cluster, featured by a comparison "triangle" set as expected: A > R < B > A. QT-THM power closely followed: 10 subjects (ss) in very normal cluster, defined as: A < R > B < A, while secondary clusters in candidates and pilots were interpreted by not-successful relaxation and exaggerated start-effects, respectively. Subjects with QT-THM normal clusters (A < R > B < A has group averages, p < = 0.05), also showed a quasi-normal "triangle" for mean RR, (A = R < B > A). During adaptation to hypoxia, pilots' QT-THM was higher than candidates' one (p < 0.02, Wilcoxon test). Study supports the emerging capability of QT-THM spectral power to index ventricular sympathetic control. Exposure to hypobaric hypoxia proved to be in these subjects a psycho-physiologic rather than a purely physiologic test.
