A Rare Colonization in Peritoneum After Blunt Abdominal Trauma: and .

Background: are gram-negative bacteria, saprophytes, and rarely pathogenic. is the well-known yeast used for fermentation in industry and molecular biology for research. In humans, it is a very rare pathogen which colonizes the digestive tract, and its utility has been linked to the treatment and prevention of diarrhea associated with

Case Report: A 27-year-old male, victim of aggressive, blunt trauma with a 4-day history of symptoms was admitted to our surgery unit.

[Effect of calcium antagonists on the hemodynamic and pancreatic secretory parameters in diabetes mellitus].

Data are presented concerning the basal levels of parathormone and calcitonin and the effect of dihydropyridine derivatives on the characteristics of haemodynamics as well as pancreatic secretory activity in patients with diabetes mellitus. It is shown that in diabetic patients with hypertension a single administration of the drugs induces vasodilatation which causes lowering of systolic and diastolic blood pressure. In patients with diabetes mellitus in combination with hypertension, heart coronary disease and obvious peripheral angiopathy (similar procedure) no peripheral vasodilatation was observed.

[Atrial natriuretic peptide in diabetes mellitus patients with arterial hypertension].

The basal level of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) of the venous blood plasma was investigated in 105 diabetic patients with concomitant arterial hypertension (AH) as well as in 20 healthy persons of the same age. Analysis of the results of investigation was performed with respect to AH type (essential, atherosclerotic, nephrogenic) and expression of cardiac changes. An ANP level in diabetic patients without AH did not differ from that of the controls.

[Secretion of calcium-regulating hormones in diabetes mellitus].

At present great attention is paid to Ca2+ metabolic derangement in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular alterations. Some researchers interpret this derangement as change in the ratio of parathyroid secretory activity and thyroid C-cell activity. For this purpose the blood levels of parathormone and calcitonin were investigated by radioimmunoassay with simultaneous recording of lower limb hemodynamic indices in 136 patients with diabetes mellitus.

[Pathogenesis of arterial hypertension in diabetes mellitus].

To investigate pathogenesis of arterial hypertension in diabetes mellitus, the authors measured parameters of central and peripheral hemodynamics, basal renin levels, angiotensin, aldosterone, kallikrein-kinin system. The results were analysed with regard to hypertension type: essential (EH), atherosclerotic (AH) and nephrogenic (NH). Hypokinetic circulation, defected vascular elasticity, activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and hypoactivity of kallikrein-kinin system were characteristic of EH and AH.
