Efficacy of albendazole against Trichinella pseudospiralis and Trichinella spiralis in mice.

Albendazole (Smith Kline, Beecham) in a dose of 20 mg/kg/day was given to B6C3F1 mice exposed to 300 larvae of T. pseudospiralis or T. spiralis. The drug was introduced on days 2, 3 and 4; or 4, 5 and 6; or 18, 19 and 20 after infection. It limited the intensity of intestinal and muscle phases of trichinellosis. Given at the stage of maturation of adult forms and production of new-born larvae, the drug caused almost total elimination of both species from the intestines of mice and a decrease in the numbers of muscle larvae, with a tendency towards a greater reduction of larvae and adults of T. pseudospiralis. The drug did not change the course of infection when given at the phase of infectivity of larvae.

[Treatment of multiple injuries of the pelvic bones (with rupture of the pubic symphysis) by stabilization of the latter using the Zespol method].

Fractures of the pelvis with disruption of the symphysis ossis pubis and, especially, the surgical treatment: stabilization of the symphysis ossis pubis by various kinds of the use of the ZESPOL stabilizers have been presented. The difficulties in the conservative treatment in 2 patients with multiple fracture of the pelvis, in whom the correct position of other injuries of the pelvis depended on the stabilization of the symphysis ossis pubis, have been presented in detail. In the discussed patients, it was obtained by the ZESPOL method employed in one patient subcutaneously and in the other externally. This is the first report about the use of the ZESPOL stabilizer in the treatment of symphysis ossis pubis disruption. It provides good conditions of healing of the symphysis ossis pubis ligaments, makes possible earlier mobilization and standing position of a patient. The presented employment of the ZESPOL stabilizer in the treatment of symphysis ossi pubis disruption widens the range of the application of this stabilization method.

[Surgical treatment of pain caused by external tibial abnormality].

The authors discuss in short the accessory bones of the foot and their clinical significance. The table and the X-ray pictures present in detail six patients with external tibial bone in ten feet, causing pain in 7 feet. In all the operated on feet (including 4 in children), degenerative-deforming changes in the articulations between the accessory bone and the navicular bone were found. It was confirmed six times by histopathological examination. The authors think that the degeneration causing pain is itself an indication for removal of the accessory bone and that too few patients with this defect are treated surgically.

Vascular injuries during lumbar laminectomy.

Vascular injury during lumbar laminectomy is an uncommon event. It is most often secondary to a biting instrument, such as a pituitary rongeur. Its diagnosis must be made rapidly in order to save the patient from exsanguination. This is well within the province of the general surgeon, who should be prepared to treat it at any time.
