[Partial replacement of the heart].

A ventricular-aortic blood pump was constructed for the functional replacement of the left heart. Hemodynamic experiments showed that the device was able to pump the total cardiac output in calves with a body weight under 85 kg. In these cases the myocardial oxygen consumption decreased to 40%. Laboratory findings in 5 longterm experiments revealed a complete adaptation of the body to the artificial organ up to 73 days.

[Administration of glucose 33 p.c. with added high doses of insulin within a scheme of early total parenteral alimentation to patients with shock-related excessive caloric demand (author's transl)].

40 patients, who had been admitted to the ICU in a stage of shock were given glucose 33 p.c. with added high doses of insulin, administered within a scheme of early total parenteral alimentation, along with fat emulsions and aminoacid solutions. It is demonstrated that this type of nutrition is able to improve metabolisation of glucose in a phase of impaired glucose utilisation following shock. The duration of reduced glucose utilisation is 5-10 days during which period increased addition of insulin (24-18 U insulin/50 g glucose) is advisable. After this time the action of endogenous insulin was improved to such an extent that the added insulin could be reduced to 12 U insulin/50 g glucose up to the third week and later (up to 49 days) to 8 U insulin/50 g glucose.
