[Influencing bladder motility in patients with radiologicaly treated cervix cancer].

The tonometric index as an expression of the motility of the urinary bladder was determined in 37 cases of carcinoma of the uterine cervix degree II b and III only treated by contact and external irradiation before, during and after this therapy. After application of about 4000 R to the dorsal parts of the bladder the tonometric index increases to one third. 6 weeks after the end of irradiation normal values are obtained.

Application of intraoperative thermography in coronary artery bypass grafting without extracorporeal circulation - clinical report.

BACKGROUND: The development of low-invasive cardiosurgical techniques has contributed to an increase of the number of revascularization procedures performed on beating heart. The report presents the changes observed intraoperatively in thermographic images of the heart obtained during surgical revascularization performed without extracorporeal circulation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In two patients with coronary heart disease, subjected to coronary artery bypass grafting performed without extracorporeal circulation, the images acquired over the operation area were recorded intraoperatively using a thermovision camera (Agema Thermovision SW/TE 900 system). RESULTS: On the basis of thermographic images, the area of lowered temperature corresponding to the region of myocardium with impaired blood flow supplied by the descending anterior coronary artery branch was determined. A rapid temperature increase to the baseline values was observed soon after removing the ligatures from the descending anterior coronary artery and left internal mammary artery used as a bypass. CONCLUSIONS: Recording thermographic heart images allows to observe restricted areas of perfusion disturbances, which take place during procedures performed on beating heart.

[Duration of second remission of Hodgkin's disease in children. Results of treatment achieved by the Polish Leukemia and Malignant Lymphoma Therapy in Children Group].

Recurrence was noted in 18.5% of 194 children, in which chemotherapy with MVPP regimen produced complete I remission. In 6 out of 36 children with recurrent disease MVPP regimen was repeated, while the remaining children were treated with B-DOPA alone or combined with MOPP regimen. Local radiotherapy was used in 17 children. The second complete remission was achieved in 30 (83.7%) children. Thirteen out of 36 patients died because of the progress of the disease (11 children), and for complications (2 children). Percentage of persisting 5- and 10-year II remissions are 58.2% and 54.6%, respectively. A 5- and 10-year survival rates in children with recurrent disease are 80.5% and 60.5%, respectively. Our relatively favourable results we associate--first of all--with the chemotherapy intensity.

[Results of treatment of Hodgkin's disease in children. Observation of 203 cases treated with modified MVPP regimen combined with local radiotherapy].

Totally 209 children were treated within 1971-1982. Complete remission was achieved in 95.6%. Recurrence was noted in 36 patients (18.6%); 20 patients (9.9%) died due to progression of the disease and 9 patients (4.4%) because of complications. The first remission remains constantly in 150 patients for 63-206 months, including that after completion of therapy during 45-206 months. Asymptomatic 5- and 10-year survivals are the following: 82.9% and 80.1% respectively; 5- and 10-year survivals 91.9% and 89.8%, respectively. Expanded experience served as base to design a new regimen (introduced in 1988) which is being supposed to reduce untoward reaction by decreasing the number of MVPP cycles and irradiation doses.

[Unintentional intrathecal administration of a tenfold dose of methotrexate].

Unintentional administration of methotrexate intrathecally in a dose 10 times higher than normal was not followed by any adverse effects in the treated child. The possibility is discussed of using higher than presently used doses of this drug in the prevention and treatment of leukaemic infiltrations in the central nervous system.
