[Pathohistological study on the effect of various methods of osteosynthesis on the osteogenesis in experimental fracture of the lower jaw].

The lower jaw of 60 dogs was fractured and effects of wire and three variants of chemical osteosynthesis have been followed up concerning validity, course and rapidity of osteogenesis. A wire of 0.4 mm in the diameter was applied in wire osteosynthesis and autopolymerizing acryalte ("Simplex" Galenica) in chemical osteosynthesis with briding of the fracture line interfragmentarily or mixed with bone scrapings. The pathohistological examinations performed 7, 14, 21, 60 and 90 days after the intervention and osteosynthesis employment have shown that there is no difference in validity, course and rapidity of osteogenesis in fractures of the lower jaw under conditions of wire and pure chemical osteosynthesis. Since there is no histochemical obstacles and taking into account advantages of chemical over wire osteosynthesis it should be recommended in fractures of the lower jaw.

[Closed intracranial extradural traumatic lesions of the internal carotid artery].

Closed intracranial lesions of the internal carotid artery are severe complications of craniocerebral trauma. Intradural lesions of branches of this artery are common and well known while extradural lesions are less frequently found. This is illustrated also by a small number of lesions found in our patients within the twenty-year period, namely 8/1000 compared to intradural lesions of branches of the internal carotid artery. Traffic accidents are dominating in their etiology and the causative mechanism is transsphenoidal fracture of the skull base. Due to difficult surgical approach inadequate methods of ligature of the extracranial portion of the internal carotid artery have been used before but it has not led to cure. Contrarily to this, modern direct microsurgical approach or balloon embolisation successfully solve this problem.

[Transient ischemic attacks and coronary disease].

Taking into consideration data from the literature that the most common cause of mortality of patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIA) is myocardial infarction, the aim of the study was to examine the state of coronary circulation in patients with TIA previously completely asymptomatic to coronary disease. There have been examined 40 patients with TIA previously asymptomatic to coronary disease and 14 patients with general characteristics similar to Parkinson's syndrome, also asymptomatic to coronary disease. All patients were subjected to neurological examination, echocardiography of carotid arteries, standard electrocardiography, X-ray of the heart and ergometry and, if indicated, coronarography. On the basis of the analysis of the results obtained it has been concluded that a significant number of patients with TIA, previously asymptomatic to coronary disease showed signs of coronary disease which imposes the necessity of correction of doctrinaire principles in prevention and follow up of these patients.

[Duplex sonography in the diagnosis of ischemic disease of the lower extremity. Comparative study with angiography].

The aim was to study possibilities of duplex sonography in evaluation of ischemic diseases of the lower extremities. The results obtained were compared with angiographic findings and high correlation of the results was obtained. Duplex sonography is a simple, safe, noninvasive method in diagnosing the site and degree of stenotic changes on the arteries of the lower extremities.
