[The medical disability evaluation of patients with pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale].

The purpose of the study was to elaborate criteria for the assessment of the severity of pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale in patients with chronic bronchitis and to give rationale for expert medical evaluation of the working capacity of such patients. 94 patients (89 males and 5 females) aged 20 to 60 with chronic bronchitis were examined. Basing on the clinical, x-ray, ECG, VCG and echocardiography data, the gravity of cor pulmonale was assessed by the degree of right ventricular hypertrophy (absent, mild, marked, dramatically marked), changes in the right ventricular echo dimensions and the stage of heart failure, and by the lung vital capacity (in percent of the predicted value). The rationale for expert medical evaluation of patients with associated cor pulmonale and chronic bronchitis is described.

[Disability evaluation in decompression sickness treated with hyperbaric therapy].

The Authors report 41 cases of decompression sickness following air scuba diving observed during the last three years at the Istituto di Medicina del Lavoro of the University of Genoa and discuss about consequent injuries and damages (period of hospitalization, temporary and permanent disability). The Authors say that in 12 cases remain permanent disability with limitation more or less serious of the working capacity. They, at last, emphasize that neurological symptoms are getting better during several months so to be necessary to wait for two years at least before estimating definitively advise.
