[Cytologic evaluation of solitary thyroid nodules].

Fine-needle aspiration is a low-cost diagnostic tool with principal value in determining which patients with thyroid nodules should undergo surgery. Team work and close cooperation among endocrinologists, surgeons, and pathologists are essential for success. Cytologic criteria for diagnosis of the most frequent conditions (benign cystic lesions), Hashimoto thyroiditis and malignancies found in thyroid aspirates have been provided. The unsolved problem of the so-called "follicular" or oxyphilic lesion or neoplasia will be investigated by immunocytochemistry.

Arterial ring encircling the bile duct with coexisting anomalous liver irrigation.

Analysis of the arterial system of the liver in a 64-year-old male cadaver revealed an anomaly of the branching of the proper hepatic artery. The right branch of the hepatic artery was missing, replaced by two segmental arteries, so that a 'trifurcation' occurred, consisting of two segmental arteries, anterior segmental and posterior segmental, and the left branch of the hepatic artery. These segmental arteries formed an arterial ring around the common hepatic duct, completely encircling it. A single cystic artery unusually originated from the posterior segmental artery. An extremely rare anatomical variation of the dorsal liver segment irrigation proves the fact that anatomical anomalies are usually multiple. The arterial blood supply for the dorsal liver segment is through four separate vessels ('quadruple type'), two originating from the left branch of the hepatic artery and two from the posterior segmental artery. These four arteries presented numerous anastomotic bridges among themselves.

[Surgical treatment of polytrauma].

This report is based on the review of 230 victims of multiple injuries, treated during 8 months period. There were 156 casualties with dominant Chest and Abdominal injuries. In the immediate treatment of these patients we applied modification of an original scheme by Schweiberer. We also introduced our own procedure of life-saving measures of high priorities. In evaluation of the most accident victims governed by priority of the severity of the multiple injuries, a complete, orderly examination by X-ray, Ultrasonic and CT scanning was undertaken.

[Heart valve replacement].

From 1965 to 1980, the authors accumulated vast experience by operating on 2500 diseased heart valves. Some of these patients had one, two, or three valves replaced. Among the two/three patients, there was a monovalvular problem in III, and more than half the patients with multivalvular problems in IV functional group NYHA. In group II there were only one/three patients with stenosis of the aortic valve. Because of the advanced stage of the disease among the group II patients, the following conditions were often present: heart insufficiency, manifest lung hypertension, cardiomegaly, and pronounced arrhythmia with damage to the kidneys. The risk in such cases is significantly greater. In total, 2941 valves were built. 74% had a normal postoperative recovery, 9,2% died; and 14,2% suffered complications that were remedied. Among the complications were insufficiency of the heart, arrhythmia, hemorrhage, transitory cerebral damage, and tracheobronchial infections. Thus, it can be seen that valve replacement as a treatment for significant hemodynamic disturbances is an effective method of surgical treatment. Improved results, reduction of complications, and few fatalities signal the advancement in such treatment.
