[Congenital anomalies in the material of City Hospital in Bydgoszcz during the period of 1995-1999]. / Analiza wad rozwojowych noworodków w materiale Szpitala Miejskiego w Bydgoszczy w latach 1995-1999.

OBJECTIVE: The analysis occurrence of developmental defects of newborns in the City Hospital in Bydgoszcz during the period 1995-1999. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Over the period of 5 years, 14,943 newborns delivered in City Hospital in Bydgoszcz. The group of 358 (2.40%) with developmental anomalies was analysed retrospectively. The subject of the study was to estimate the types of malformations and their frequency. RESULTS: In our material cardiovascular anomalies (29.05%), reproductive system anomalies (20.11%) and muscosceletal anomalies (18.72%) were most frequent. Breech-presented or transverse lie fetuses had double the risk of any anomalies. In addition, pre-term delivery were not positively associated with any newborn defects. The frequency of occurrence cesarean sections was positively correlated with presence of congenital malformations.

[Comparative analysis of occurrence and susceptibility to gram-negative bacilli isolated from intubation tubes and tracheostomy tubes in patients at intensive care units]. / Analiza porównawcza wystepowania i wrazliwosci paleczek Gram-ujemnych izolowanych z rurek intubacyjnych i tracheotomijnych od pacjentów z oddzialów intensywnej terapii.

The purpose of this work was to determine the frequency of occurrence and susceptibility of Gram-negative bacilli isolated from intubation tubes and tracheotomy tubes in neonates and adults in intensive care units. Nonfermenting rods were the most often isolated from the tubes especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa from 39.2% to 45.2% of Gram-negative bacilli and Acinetobacter spp. from about 10.9% of Gram-negative bacilli. The rods of Enterobacteriaceae family were isolated too. It was found that the most frequently isolated bacteria was Escherichia coli--from 17.8% to 21.4% of Gram-negative bacilli. The other rods were isolated occasionally.
