[Volvulus of the gallbladder].

An observation is presented concerning a volvulus of the gallbladder, a rare cause of acute abdomen. This affection is mostly encountered in aged people or in those with various background diseases, and its development is favoured by the presence of congenital malformations, visceral ptoses, or by exaggerated intestinal peristaltism. The preoperative diagnosis is only exceptional and indications for surgical intervention are made on the basis of signs suggesting peritoneal irritation, or the presence of a "tumor" in the right flank. Cholecystectomy, facial in most of the cases is followed by full recovery in all the cases when the intervention is performed at an early stage.

[Additional anti-Klebsiella phages used in lysotyping of Klebsiella strains].

In order to increase the efficiency of lysotyping as a method for differentiating Klebsiella strains the authors tested the activity of 10 additional phages isolated, prepared and studied in the laboratory and compared to the Slopek-Milch set. A number of 734 Klebsiella strains were isolated in different clinical and epidemiological conditions and lysotyped. The phage type was determined in 64.60% of the strains examined, using 15 phages of the Slopek-Milch set. By using additional autochtonous phages the proportion of lysotypable strains reached 77.80%; therefore, 13.20% were sensitive only to the additional phages.

Melodic intonation therapy in the verbal decoding of aphasics.

Melodic Intonation Therapy is a well-known method exploring the verbal encoding of aphasics but within this study, it was used to investigate the verbal decoding (the auditory comprehension). Two separate groups, 240 cases each, were investigated, the former with MIT and the latter with other therapy methods. Each group included three subgroups according to the three frequent types of aphasia (Wernicke, Broca and Anomia). The method of semantic fields was associated to treat the second group since it is usually used in the treatment of aphasics with auditory decoding disturbances. All patients were tested twice, before and after therapy.

[The reconstruction of the losses of substance in the floor of the mouth with split lingual flaps].

The loses of substance, as a result of malignant tumor removement of floor of the mouth, with or without metastasis in the afferent ganglions, have such multiple and difficult morphological complications, that need immediate and complete reconstruction. From the multiple sources with reconstructive potential of the loco-regional or distant prevention suggested in literature, authors have used lingual musculo-mucosal flap. The use of the lingual flap avoided the inconveniences and the risks of tissue transfer from another origin, offering the advantages of one and only surgery and at the same time the superior morphological and functional results.
