RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The article describes fatal course of citrobacter central nervous system infection in the neonates and the subsequent legal responsibility of the medical facility. SUBJECT: Case report with the review of a lawyer specialized in medical law. SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Health Studies, University of Pardubice, Pardubice, Faculty of Military Health Science, University of Defence, Hradec Králové. CONCLUSION: The court granted plaintiff's claim has been fully paid by the insurance company, since it did not show the fault of the medical facility.

Screening for the risk factors of ischaemic heart disease among the male residents of the district of Prague 4 aged 40--49 years was undertaken under the "National multifactorial primary preventive study of myocardial infarction and stroke". Of the 11 091 men invited, 5395 met the defined criteria and were admitted to the study. 58% of them were included in the risk group. The level of attained school education was ascertained at the initial examination. The lowest percentage of persons with hypercholesterolaemia, overweight, elevated blood pressure and smokers was found among university graduates. The results are compared with data of other studies and possible causes of the findings are discussed.

The silhouettes of the left ventricle seen on a cine ventriculogram were used as the graphic input to a pattern analysis programme. The programme measured the coordinates of points around silhouette. It selected the longest chord within the perimeter and determined its length, the area within the perimeter, and the volume of the resulting ellipsoid of revolution. The output from the programme was a global clinical report which included scaled reproductions of the silhouettes, maximum and minimum ventricular volumes, the stroke volume, and the ejection fraction. Local analysis consists in comparison of the contraction profile for the specific patient with the mean pattern obtained from a control group of 24 patients with no myocardial pathology. The graphical and numerical results help in following the progress of disease, in choosing candidates for coronary artery bypass, and in evaluating the results of medical or surgical treatment.
