[Prosthesis in sequelae of tuberculosis of the femur head].

Endoprosthetic surgery on the head of the femur to correct aftereffects of tuberculous coxitis has been conducted in 23 patients. A combined preoperative preparation implying normalization of external respiration and cardiovascular function, x-ray examination of the proximal femur and cotyloid cavity specified indications for endoprosthetics, method of the pedicle fixation and the scope of the intervention. 6-month to 8-year outcomes are available. Overall functional results are satisfactory: all the patients but 2 (aged 64-66, underwent unipolar endoprosthetics) could walk without support.

[Microorganisms and man. Various characteristics of their coexistence at present].

Modern data of literature on microbial associations and their role in human health and diseases are presented. As pointed out in this work, the characteristic feature of the XX century is the emergence and the re-emergence of 36 new infections. The emergence of many infections is associated with such factors as the increased migration of the population, ecological environmental disasters, etc. Grounds for a new view on the etiology of a number of chronic somatic diseases are given. The task of preparation development for the immunoprophylaxis of 25-30 infections has been set by WHO as its target for the year 2025. Prospects of new approaches to the development of new generation vaccines against bacterial, viral and parasitic infections, including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, virus hepatitides, malaria, etc., are shown.

Endoscopic Surgery for Arterial Occlusive Disease.

Endoscopic surgery is not a recent development. In fact, the application of the Edison light bulb to the cystoscope in 1883 was followed by widespread use of endoscopy. In 1910, Jacobeaus proposed the diagnostic use of the cystoscope for investigation of serous cavities, and in 1922, he reported lysis of pleural adhesions to promote artificial pneumothorax in 40 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. For the next 30 years, the thoracoscope was widely used for pneumolysis in tuberculosis patients, but its use waned considerably after the development of effective antibiotic treatment for tuberculosis. With the advent of laparoscopy, endoscopy has become popular again and here we review the application of endoscopic techniques in cardiovascular surgery.

Pattern of thoracic surgical diseases in Nigeria: experience at the University College Hospital, Ibadan.

A prospective study of 595 patients treated by the Thoracic Surgical Unit (TSU) at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan between July 1975 and December 1977 was carried out to determine the pattern of thoracic surgical diseases in Nigeria and to prove or disprove the rarity of certain cardiopulmonary diseases in tropical Africa. This review shows that pyogenic infections of the lung and pleura constitute the largest percentage (38.5) of the thoracic surgical diseases in Nigeria. Although pulmonary tuberculosis accounts for only 23.4 percent of our total inpatient load, it constitutes about 60 percent of our outpatient clinic practice. Cardiovascular diseases form 12.9 percent, notably congenital and acquired valvular heart diseases. An interesting finding was the occasional association of pyomyositis with pyogenic pericarditis and empyema thoracis. This triad is being investigated. Chest trauma was the most common thoracic surgical emergency accounting for 9.2 percent of the total thoracic surgical pathology. The most common causes of dysphagia are strictures from corrosive esophagitis, achalasia, and carcinoma of the esophagus. Present experience confirms the rarity of hiatus hernia, reflux esophagitis, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and, perhaps, carcinoma of the lung among Nigerians.

[Specific features of detection and treatment of tuberculosis in homeless persons].

The outcomes of treatment of 110 homeless patients with tuberculosis admitted to Moscow City Clinical Hospital No. 7 in 1993-1996 were followed up. All homeless persons have various concurrent diseases, such as alcoholism, chronic nonspecific diseases of the lung, diseases of the cardiovascular system, kidney, liver, etc., which require their treatment by physicians of different disciplines. Good results of treating the homeless may be obtained when rehabilitative services are used and hospital treatment is performed for at least 4 months. All homeless patients who admitted to general hospitals are to be physically, roentgenologically, and bacterioscopically examined whether they have tuberculosis.

[Tuberculosis--the starting point of thoracic surgery].

The amazing development of thoracic surgery was due to the extraordinary number of operations necessary in the treatment of diseases of epidemic proportions: tuberculosis, rheumatic heart disease and coronary disease. From 1939 onwards, the young chest surgeons were confronted with war wounds of the heart and great vessels. Back in civilian practice, they became the pioneers of an initially primitive, blind cardiac surgery. In the course of 40 years this surgery developed to become the highly specialized interdisciplinary specialty of today's cardiovascular surgery, the crowning of which is the routine heart transplantation of 1990.

Cause of death in 79 patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

The causes of death of 79 patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) diagnosed between 1952 and 1959 were investigated. The basic cause of death was a cardiovascular disease in 35.4% of the patients, AS in 29.1%, violent death in 10.1%, malignancy in 8.9%, gastrointestinal diseases in 6.3%, pulmonary tuberculosis in 2.5%, urogenital diseases in 2.5%, respiratory diseases in 3.8% and diabetes mellitus in 1.3%. Only one patient had a lymphoma and another patient chronic lymphatic leukaemia despite the X-ray therapy that almost every patient received. The immediate cause of death was uraemia caused by renal amyloidosis in 18% of the cases. In addition, uraemia from renal amyloidosis was part of the basic cause of death or a contributory factor in 3.8%. Thus, uraemia caused by renal amyloidosis in one way or another affected the cause of death in 21.5% of the cases. This figure is considerably higher than those given in earlier works.
