ABSTRACT
A total of 6,998 raw milk samples of bulk tank, belonging to 55 dairy farms associated to the Cooperativa Tambera Nueva Alpina Ltda., were collected between the years 1993 and 2002. The Total Mesophilic Aerobic Microorganisms Count was analyzed, obtaining a medium value of 1.2 x 10(5) +/- 2.4 x 10(5) CFU/ml that characterizes the zone. The final year of experience, observed a 97% of dairy farms evaluated with averages < or = 1.0 x 10(5) CFU/ml. Only a 3% it surpasses this limit, not being found establishments with levels over 1.5 x 10(5) CFU/ml. Relating this indicators with compositionals parameters, the most significant correlation resulted for: Total Bacterial Count vs Acidity (r = 0.292; P < 0.001) and Total Bacterial Count vs Freezing Point (r = 0.157; P < 0.001. The microbiological quality in raw milk of dairy farms belonging to the northwest zone of Santa Fe and south of Santiago del Estero showed a significant improvement during this time.

Un total de 6.998 muestras de leche cruda de pool de tanque, correspondientes a 55 establecimientos lecheros asociados a la Cooperativa Tambera Nueva Alpina Ltda., fueron recolectadas entre los años 1993 y 2002. Se realizó el Recuento de Microorganismos Aerobios Mesófilos Totales, obteniéndose como resultado un valor medio de 1,2 x 105± 2,4 x 105UFC/ml que caracteriza la zona. El año de finalización de la experiencia, se observó un 97% de los tambos evaluados con promedios £ 1,0 x 105UFC/ml. Solamente un 3% sobrepasa este límite, no encontrándose establecimientos con niveles superiores a 1,5 x 105UFC/ml. Al relacionar este indicador con parámetros composicionales, las correlaciones más significativas resultaron para: Recuento de Bacterias Totales vs Acidez (r = 0,292; P < 0,001) y Recuento de Bacterias Totales vs Descenso Crioscópico (r = 0,157; P < 0,001). La calidad microbiológica en leche cruda de tambos que pertenecen a la zona noroeste de Santa Fe y sur de Santiago del Estero, presentó un mejoramiento significativo.

ABSTRACT
A case of squamous cell carcinoma of renal pelvis is reported. A 73-year-old Caucasian male complained of macrohematuria. The echography and Computer Tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a large tumor mass in the right kidney associated with lymphadenopathy. A nephrectomy of the right kidney and lymphadenectomy were performed. The isotologic examination revealed a squamous carcinoma of the renal pelvis involving the renal parenchyma and extending to the perirenal fat. The regional lymph nodes were also involved. Neoplastic invasion of inferior vena cava was found. Squamous carcinoma in situ and squamous metaplasia were noted in the urothelium adjacent to the tumor. Three months later an echography revealed a local recurrence of the disease. The patient underwent adjuvant chemotherapy. The aggressive course of the disease is in agreement with the poor prognosis of squamous carcinomas of the renal pelvis as previously reported in the literature.

Vesicovaginal fistulas are commonly seen as a complication of abdominal (or vaginal) Hysterectomy. The signs and symptoms of a vesicovaginal fistula depend upon its size and location. Identification of a vesicovaginal fistula includes an intravenous urogram; cystoscopy may be performed in order to evaluate the possibility of immediate or delayed repair. Case report. Principles of surgical repair. The principles of surgical closure are similar: 1) total separation of the tissues comprising the wall of the vagina and the wall of the bladder; 2) sharp excision of the fistulous tract between to two structures; 3) closure of the defects with non-overlapping suture lines; 4) where possible, interposition of alternative tissue between the two suture lines. The intervention proposed by Legueu allows an abdominal transperitoneal approach to the fistula and is comprehensive of these principles. With such a procedure we have treated successfully two cases which required surgical closure. CONCLUSIONS. In patients who develop vesicovaginal fistulas as a complication of abdominal hysterectomy, we have applied the intervention proposed be Legueu, which allows closure of the fistula via a transperitoneal route. Preliminar diagnostic evaluation and following of the foundamental principles of correct surgical closure are indispensable to accomplish a successful intervention.

The flexible colonoscope has brought considerable advantages to the diagnosis and nonsurgical treatment of volvulus. In the case of repeated recurrences that make surgery vital because of the onset of signs of vascular trouble on the twisted ansa, preoperative resolution permits correction of hydroelectrolytic imbalances and the preparation of the colon with the possibility of operating with no need for protective colostomy. It also allows resolution of the acute situation in the presence of contraindications to intervention.

The attention of all those having to deal in any way with diseases of the perianal region is called to a particular pyodermatitis known as suppurative hidradenitis, or Verneuil's disease, frequently confused with other inflammatory pathologies. A clinical case exemplifying the diagnosis and treatment of the disease is reported.

Following an aetiopathogenetic review of I.P.P., diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities are assessed. Medically, stress is laid on the value of orgotein, an SOD which, used in time, reduces pain and penis curving and permits satisfactory sexual activity. In the case of inveterate forms or of large plaques, the use of a silastic prosthesis is proposed. This support enables a normal sex life to be continued, so resolving psychological and family stress.

Choledochoscopy is complementary to peroperative cholangiography in exploration of the main biliary way. Transcystic access is proposed in choledocholithiasis. The cystic duct, in fact, is frequently transitable owing to the dilatation produced by the migration of gallstones and because of the increasing miniaturisation of instruments. This examination of the MBW is less traumatic and risky than transcholedochotomic choledochoscopy.
