[Submandibular pathology as an interdisciplinary problem].

Basing on the own material of 328 patients treated surgically the authors have presented the problem of submandibular space pathology. They have pointed out its interspecialty in diagnosing and treatment. Among 328 patients the presence of inflammatory tumors have been stated in 220 (67.1%) cases, non-specific inflammation in 194 (88.2%) patients and specific inflammation in 26 (11.8%) patients. Neoplasmatic tumors have occurred in 98 (29.9%) patients, malignant tumors in 78 (79.6%) patients and benign ones in 20 (20.4%) patients. Among malignant tumors metastatic ones were observed in 41 (52.6%) cases, while primary tumors in 37 (47.4%) cases. In 3.0% patients developmental anomaly have occurred.

[Tumors of the submandibular gland].

The authors have analyzed 148 cases with submandibular gland tumors treated surgically in ENT Department of County Hospital Nr 1 in Rzeszów from 1974 to 1994. Inflammatory tumors occurred in 123 (83%) patients, in this number non-specific inflammation caused by calculi occurred in 120 (97.5%) patients and specific inflammations (tuberculosis) in 3 (2.5%) ones. Neoplastic tumors occurred in 14 (56.0%) patients and non-malignant in 11 (44.0%) patients. Among malignant tumors adenoid cystic carcinoma occurs most frequently (8 cases, 57%), whereas among non-malignant ones pleomorphic adenoma is most frequent (10 cases, 91%).

[Diseases of the orbit].

Diseases of the orbital cavity require more attention because of its specific anatomic structure and placement. Their curing requires cooperation of many medical specialties. Analysis consider orbital fractures, mainly caused by car accidents (69.2%). The next half of them consider inflammatory processes and tumor in equal numbers. Malignant tumors of orbital cavity occur most frequently (48.0%), less frequent are pseudotumors--pseudotumor orbitae (36.0%) and rare--malignant ones (16.0%). Malignant tumors more frequently infiltrate the orbit in neighborhood (63.3%), less frequently they come out from orbit tissue (16.7%). It should be emphasized that the number of orbit inflammations decreases in subsequent years, whereas occurrence of orbit tumors increases.

[Comparison of the incidence of various tumors of the parotid and submandibular gland].

The authors have analyzed 396 cases with parotid and submandibular gland tumors treated surgically in ENT Department of County Hospital Nr 1 in Rzeszów from 1974 to 1994. The most frequent disease was neoplastic tumor located in parotid gland, while the most frequent inflammatory disease was non-specific inflammation caused by a calculus in submandibular gland.

[Tumors of the submandibular triangle].

Analysed material consists of 180 patients with different kind of submandibular triangle tumors, excluded disturbances of the submandibular gland. All these patients were treated in ENT Department of County Hospital No 1 in Rzeszów in 1974-1993. Among 180 patients in 97 (54%) cases, the presence of inflammatory tumors were stated: non specific inflammation in 74 (76%) patients and specific inflammation in 23 (24%) patients. In 10 (6%) patients occurred branchial or dermoid cysts. Neoplastic tumors occurred in 73 (40%), malignant tumors in 64 (86%) patients and benign ones in 9 (12%) patients. Among malignant tumors metastatic ones were stated 41 (64%) cases, while primary tumors in 23 (36%). The histology type of tumors were revealed by histology examination.

[Analysis of orbital diseases].

Orbital diseases, in view of the special situation and anatomic structure of the orbit require greater attention and wide cooperation of doctors of many specialities, being an interdisciplinary problem. The analysis of the presented material showed that almost half the treated orbital diseases were bone fractures (48.4%), resulting mainly from traffic trauma (67.4%). The remaining diseases were orbital inflammations and tumours, and their numbers were similar. The fact is worth attention of decreasing number of orbital inflammations in successive years and increasing tendency for orbital tumour occurrence.

[A case of sarcoidosis in the orbit].

A case is described of a rare location of sarcoidosis in the orbit in a 43-year-old woman. The complaints persisting for four weeks for which the patient sought medical advice were: oedema and left eyelid ptosis with narrowing of the eyelid fissure. In the diagnostic process, endocrine background of the disease was excluded, and a tumour was found in the orbit in computed tomography. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made on the basis of histopathological examination of the tissues removed from the orbit during surgical operation.

[Purposes, tasks and duties of the ENT departments of the provincial hospital].

The authors present the scheme of work, aims and duties of otolaryngology department of the county hospital. Basic activities and aims are as follows: diagnostic and therapeutic procedure, specialistic supervision over other otolaryngology departments and out-patients clinics in the county, teaching otolaryngology department assistants and voluntary workers, postgraduate courses supervised by The Postgraduate Medical Centre, public and educational service. All those activities guarantees the proper work of the department, especially in case of the new country area division.

[Borreliosis].

Borreliosis which incidence and epidemic range are constantly increasing is an infectious zoonosis, detected in the town of Lyme, Connecticut, USA in 1975. This disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi transmitted by ticks. It relatively easily responds to antibiotic therapy. Making of correct diagnosis, however, causes more problems. The disease has often atypical course, its phases overlap. It may also mimic collagen diseases and other spirochetoses. The relatively low specificity of serological tests additionally makes the diagnosis more difficult.

[Orbital pathology--I].

The signs of orbital diseases depend on an ideal anatomic and physiological symmetry which ensures correct position of the eyeballs and proper coordination and synchronization of the action of the oculomotor muscles. In the initial stage of pathological lesion development, the following may occur: burning sensation in conjunctivae, feeling of dryness, excessive lacrimation, and periodically appearing stabbing pain in the eye. Orbital diseases are associated most frequently with exophthalmus, and frequently also with lateral displacement of the eyeball and disturbances of its mobility. Injuries, inflammatory states and orbital neoplasms jeopardize not only the visual system but often are life-threatening. The determination of precise localization, size, type, and aetiology of pathological lesion and undertaking as soon as possible proper therapeutic management is the foremost task of every doctor.

[Orbital pathology--II. Methods of diagnostically differentiating orbital diseases].

In view of extreme variety of orbital diseases, making of a correct diagnosis requires application of a number of diagnostic methods and close cooperation of various specialists. In order to determine the localization and aetiology of pathological focus in the orbita the following is carried out: measurement of exophthalmus, funduscopy, piezometry, thermography, gammagraphy, echography, plain and aimed X-ray examinations, angiography, phlebography, CT examinations and NMR examinations.

[Effect of long-term treatment with propranolol or hydrochlorothiazide on biochemical risk factors of coronary disease in patients with hypertension].

In 59 patients with mild or moderate essential hypertension effects of propranolol and hydrochlorothiazide on serum lipids, fibrynogen, glucose and uric acid concentrations as well as serum euglobulins fibrynolysis time were studied. 36 patients received propranolol and 23 subjects hydrochlorothiazide. Follow-up time was 1 year. Statistically significant increases of serum triglycerides, fibrynogen, levels and total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol LDH/HDL indices in comparison with their initial values were stated in a propranolol group. Significant serum cholesterol increase after 6 month therapy was the most substantial metabolic change in a hydrochlorothiazide group. Alterations of lipids indices in both groups were especially intensive in patients with pretreatment stated disturbances of lipids metabolism.
