ABSTRACT
The short communication informs about the work of the field hospital in Iraq. From 3rd June till 10th September 2003 there were 123 patients operated on, 184 patients were hospitalized. The hospital exerted 1,194 bed-days, 131 of them at the intensive care unit. The outpatient department treated 6,953 patients. There were 824 X-ray and ultrasonographic examinations and the laboratory performed 7,941 tests. In their practice the physicians encountered a wide spectrum of surgical and non-surgical diagnoses. Other humanitarian activities (material, organization of transport of children to specialized care in the Czech Republic, blood donor activity) were an integral part of the work. The work in non-standard conditions was significantly complicated by the extreme climate and the high safety risk.

The binding of B-nor-analogues of glucocorticoids, estrogens and of an androgen to specific cytosol receptors was compared with that of parent compounds of the normal series. In the study of binding of B-norcortisol and related compounds rat liver cytosol was used, while in a case of B-norestrogens rat uterus cytosol and for 17 alpha-methyl-B-nortestosterone rat prostate cytosol was used. The displacement of the appropriate radioligands by B-norsteroids was remarkably lower than that caused by correspondinga steroids with normal B-ring with the exception of 17 alpha-methyl-B-nortestosterone.
