Correlations between the results of the histological and cytological examination in the diagnostic of the broncho-pulmonary cancer.

Introduction: Within the last years one discusses more and more about the association of the cytological examination with the histological one, becoming an important complementary examination. Casebook record. 163 patients were taken in the study, age between 37-79 years old, who showed clinical and radiological signs of broncho-pulmonary cancer.

The histopathological and immunohistochemical diagnosis in small cell lung carcinoma.

The small cells lung carcinoma (SCLC) represents 10-25% of the bronchogenical carcinomas, prevails at middle ages and is closely associated with tobacco smoke. It belongs to the group of carcinomas with neuroendocrine differentiation, the patients presenting various paraneoplastic syndromes. The study was performed on 491 patients with a clinical and radiological suspicion of bronchopulmonary cancer.

[THe etiology of pleuropneumopathies in infants and small children].

In a follow-up study during 20 years (1975-1994) we observed, beside clinical aspects, the evolution of pleuropneumopathies in infants and small children (1-3 years of age), and the etiology of these infections. The casuistry includes 456 children-237 infants (51,97%) and 219 small children, between 1-3 years of age (48,02%), which were admitted in Clinical Children's Hospital from Oradea (Clinical Hospital for Children) with pleuropneumopathies. 4 intervals of time were analyzed comparatively, each of 5 years, starting with a number of 235 cases in the first one and reaching only 45 observations in the last one.

[Enterobacteria of the genera Salmonella, Shigella and Yersinia with an etiological role in acute diarrheal disease].

In a study made during 5 years, from 1990 to 1994 on 8363 subjects with acute diarrhoea disease, we found 486 cases (5,81%) in which the etiologic agent was belonging to a species of enterobacteria; as follows: Shigella (69,13%), Salmonella (27,78%) and Yersinia enterocolitica (3,08%), and which were isolated predominantly in children with ages ranging from 6 months to 7 years. The serogroups of Shigella most often isolated were Shigella sonnei, in 196 patients (35,11%). Regarding the cases with Salmonella, in most of the cases Salmonella enteritidis was isolated (60,74%) followed by Salmonella typhimurium and other Salmonellae from the serogroup BO (23,70%).

[The comparative testing of the tuberculostatic sensitivity of M. tuberculosis strains in 2 diagnostic centers in Romania].

The study of sensibility was carried out on 152 strains of M. tuberculosis by the method of absolute concentrations in two laboratories in Romania. The results obtained show an agreement in 71.
