Diagnostic and surgical procedures in acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP).

The main subject of considerations is acute necrotizing pancreatitis, based on the authors opinion and literature. Frequency of the necrosis in acute pancreatitis is established in between 7-15%. Because of very severe and often lethal complications these patients need special surgical attention. Enhanced CT is the most valuable diagnostic procedure to visualize the extend of pancreatic necrosis. There is no common agreement upon the mode of treatment except from that infected necrotizing pancreatitis should be operated. Indications for surgical treatment with particular analysis to necrosectomy and laparostomy is discussed.

The effect of adrenergic receptor blocking agents on arrhythmia caused by trauma.

Experiments on animals have shown that blunt trauma to the anterior chest wall causes arrhythmia and conduction disturbances. In most cases nodal rhythm and ST segment elevation were observed. Microscopic examination disclosed myocardial damage in the vicinity of the atrioventricular node. Administration of alpha or beta adrenergic receptor blocking agents immediately before trauma failed to prevent arrhythmia and conduction disturbances, on the contrary, they became even more pronounced.
