[Role of spiral computed tomography in the assessment of the bone and soft tissue structures of the spine in the postoperative period of degenerative diseases and traumas].

The spiral computed tomography (SCT) was used in examinations of 59 patients with symptoms of neurological disorders at the postoperative period after discectomy, and 82 casualties and 24 patients with degenerative-dystrophic lesions of the spine after correcting-stabilizing operations with plasty of the vertebra with autobone, biositall-XK. An examination of this category of patients and casualties in the nearest and remote terms after operation improves the potentials of SCT-diagnostics of recurrent hernias, epidural fibrosis, spondylites, central and lateral stenoses and allows control of osteoreparation and remodelling of the spine. The improved pathogenetical treatment in these cases shortens the period of disability and does not result in persistent invalidism of the patients.

[Theories and cures of the rheumatic diseases during the byzantine period (330-1453 a.D.)].

Most Byzantine medical texts described the rheumatic diseases. The Byzantine physicians, based on the ancient Greek texts, explained the causes of rheumatic diseases, described their symptoms and proposed certain treatments. The Byzantine medical sources described various types of rheumatic diseases, as inflammatory arthritis, chronic deformans polyarthritis, and gout. As it can be concluded by the available medical sources, during the Byzantine period rheumatic diseases constituted a serious medical and social problem, representing a remarkable cause of disability, and this complaint was part of the epidemiological interest of the Byzantine physicians.

Problems and complications in the adolescent with sickle cell disease.

The period of adolescence in the patient with sickle cell disease seems to be a period of relative calm, medically speaking. The current 5-year prospective Cooperative Study of the Clinical Course of Sickle Cell Disease should demonstrate the actual spectrum of disease in this age group. The recent literature documents with significant relationship between retardation of growth and sexual maturation in the child with sickle cell disease, an effect which seems independent of the severity of the disease. Several other major problems in the adolescent are discussed, including psychological disturbances, leg ulcers, aseptic necrosis, pulmonary disease, priapism, stroke, cholelithiasis, and birth control. A retrospective series of 76 cases of sickle cell disease is briefly presented and the complication occurring during the second decade of life are reviewed.

Experimental transmission of enzootic bovine leukosis to cattle, sheep and goats: infectious doses of blood and incubation period of the disease.

A group of 49 BLV-free recipient animals (24 cattle, 15 sheep and 10 goats) were inoculated intradermally with serial dilutions of blood collected on two BLV-positive donor cows. One donor had a high lymphocytosis and high antibody titers to gpBLV antigens; these two parameters were low for the second donor. The number of lymphocytes which induced BLV infection in recipient animals varied widely with the donor. The high infectivity of a donor seemed to be correlated with high lymphocytosis and high antibody titers to gpBLV antigens. Identification and removal of infectious animals would reduce or stop the spread of the infection in a herd, and could be used in the strategy to eradicate the disease. A given inoculum can be infectious in sheep and, at the same time, harmless in cattle. The incubation periods, apparently shorter in sheep, were generally in the range from 2 to 5 weeks for the three species, and exceptionally above.
