  • Article: The role of uterine artery embolization in cervical cancer - single case report.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Massive vaginal bleeding represents one of the emergencies that the gynecologists have to deal with. When unresponsive to the haemostatic treatment (local or iv), the bleeding can be stopped by using the uterine artery embolization. It provides visualization of the bleeding site and enables targeted, minimally invasive therapy to achieve hemostasis. We present a case of a patient with cervical cancer associated with massive vaginal bleeding and the beneficial effects of the uterine artery embolization in the therapy management.

  • Article: Human Performances Evaluation by Means of Explicit and Tacit Knowledge
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The explicit and tacit (implicit) knowledge are defined by antithesis to obtain a clear delimitation between two concepts. It is emphasized the role of these knowledge in the communication between individuals and between firms (organizations, societies etc.). The human performance is appreciated with intelligence coefficient, emotional coefficient and spiritual coefficient. Finally, the estimation possibilities of the genetic influence on the human performance are presented.

    Article: Management of hyperthyroidism in pregnancy.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Maternal hypertiroidism is a relative rare disorder, which can seriously complicate pregnancy in each of its periods. There are several maternal and fetal complications during pregnancy, delivery and postpartum period. Correct management includes an accurate diagnosis, rigorous individualized treatment and minutious follow-up. We are presenting a retrospective study of 38 pregnant women who delivered in the Obstetric Unit of the University Emergency Bucharest Hospital in the past five years. We established a follow-up protocol in collaboration with endocrinologists. Precocious diagnosis of pregnancy is, in our opinion, mandatory. Accurate diagnosis of hormonal status beginning from the first week of pregnancy is of great importance. Maternal (weight, BP, TSH, thyroid hormones, ECG, etc.) and fetal (ultrasound, non-stress test, Doppler study) evaluation during pregnancy were rigorous performed. RESULTS: abortion rate was 5%; 15% of pregnant women delivered prematurely; cesarean section rate was 22%; fetal outcome was excellent. Treatment adjustment during pregnancy was frequent, 28% of pregnant women had no hormonal treatment in the last trimester of pregnancy. Maternal complications were rare (poor weight gain, tachycardia). Fetal complications included low birth weight (24%), fetal respiratory distress (10%). CONCLUSIONS: team work with experienced endocrinologists and understanding of versatility of disease leads to good prognosis of mother and fetus in presence of hypertiroidism.

  • Article: Combined endovascular and surgical therapy of uterine fibroma.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Since the first description of uterine artery embolisation for the treatment of symptomatic fibroids of the uterus in 1994, this minimally invasive procedure has been increasingly performed in many countries. Transcatheter embolisation of the uterine arteries feeding large fibroids is a minimally invasive technique. This paper presents the combined endovascular and surgical therapy in the treatment of uterine fibroma. The purpose of this therapy is saving the reproductive function of the uterus even in cases with very large fibromas or located in areas with difficult access, in which hysterectomy would have been needed. The therapy has a high rate of success, it is accompanied by disappearance of the symptoms and it has a low risk of intra- and postoperatory complications. The first step is the embolisation of uterine arteries--a safe therapy of uterine fibroma. The procedure eliminates the risk of post-miomectomy relapse through the symultaneous devascularisation of all fibroma nodules, even of the very small ones which are unapparent clinically or imagistically. The post-embolisation surgical intervention is undertaken in conditions of operative comfort, with minimal bleeding; it eliminates the need for blood transfusions and diminishes the duration of intervention. Three representative cases where this therapy has been successfully applied are presented in this article. The embolisation of the uterine arteries represents an efficient therapy of the uterine fibroma, with very good results noted in the speciality literature.

  • Article: [Laparoscopic cholecystectomy during pregnancy].

    ABSTRACT: Cholecystectomy is after appendectomy the second most frequent surgical procedure made in pregnant women. The operation is indicated in all cases of symptomatic gallbladder stones which do not respond to medical treatment and all complicated forms such as acute cholecystitis or acute pancreatitis. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, considered in the beginning as a high risk procedure both for mother and child, is nowadays safer and useful comparing to open surgery. Our limited experience can confirm this. There were operated two pregnant (2nd and 6th month of pregnancy) with acute cholecystitis. There were no intraoperative incidents or accidents, no postoperative complications and no problems in pregnancy evolution after operation. This presentation emphasis the particular technical problems due to pregnancy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, aspects concerning anesthesia and preoperative monitoring of mother and child.
