[Do pulmonary changes appear after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy?].

30 patients without history of pulmonary disease who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were examined on the day before and on the 2nd day after operation. Investigations included physical examination, chest X-ray and a spirometry. In case of postoperative pathological findings the same examinations were repeated 14 days after operation. On the chest X-ray 5 patients had postoperative alterations which disappeared within 14 days. The spirometry showed a slight decrease of VC, FRC and FEV1 which after 2 weeks had almost regained normal values. Therefore we do not consider it necessary to perform routine respiratory prophylaxis in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

[Anthrax meningitis].

Anthrax meningitis may complicate cutaneous, inhalation, or gastrointestinal anthrax, although it occurs in less than 5% of patients. Between 1935 and 1985 60 cases of human anthrax were notified in Switzerland. This report of a fatal case in a 54-year-old woman is the third case of inhalation anthrax and the second of meningeal complication with cortical hemorrhages in our country. There was no known source of infection. The clinical, microbiological and histopathological profile, therapy and prognosis are presented.

[Heatstroke].

Heat stroke, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are the most important heat syndromes. Heat stroke must be recognized as a medical emergency. Inappropriate delay in diagnosis and treatment may lead to death caused by functional impairment or irreversible damage to almost every organ of the system. The history, clinical findings and outcome are described in four patients with heat injury during a 13-km military cross country race. Pathophysiology, complications, treatment and prevention of heat illness are discussed.
