The importance of laser-biophotometry in vivo in medicine.

Infrared laser biophotometry limits to a relatively strait spectrum (0.85-0.89 mkm) and it is based on the absorption, dispersion and reflexion phenomena from the tissues. It was taken a study group of 180 people (students and other categories of people considered healthy). The determined medium reflexion coefficient in infrared in the intact tissues is an index with medium values (between 55.7-68+/-2.1 milliwatts), stable in time. The individual variations of the medium coefficient of reflexion in infrared (MCR IR) for the intact tissues do not exceed 3+/-2.1 milliwatts. The MCR IR values determined for intact tissues will be taken as reference point in the determination of the MCR IR for pathologically modified tissues (edema, hematoma, abscess) in the next part of the study. The obtained results allow the use of Laser-biophotometry in vivo method in the evaluation and observation of the pathological processes accompanied by water retention in the organism, differentiation of the processes concerning fat accumulation (obesity, metabolic X syndrome, etc.). Absorption particularities of radiation in Infrared, observed during this study, suggest physiotherapeutic factor graduation determined by individual particularities of the organism: the pigmentation degree of the skin tissue and the tissue structure (stroma density).

[One case of multiple abdominal hydatidosis]. / Un caz de chist hidatic abdominal cu localizari multiple.

It is presented the case of a 45 years old female patient transferred in our clinic from Parasitology Clinic with the diagnosis of hepato-splenic hydatidosis. Preoperative echography presented 3 abdominal hydatid cysts (hepatic, splenic and free in the peritoneal cavity--greater omentum). Intraoperative exam confirmed the preoperative evaluation. The operation consisted in two ideal cystectomies associated with one partial cystectomy with evacuation and drainage. Postoperative evolution was simple.

[Surgical procedures in penis cancer]. / Optiuni terapeutice în cancerele peniene.

In the period of 1980-1999 (20 years) in Colentina Surgical Clinic were admitted and operated 16 patients with the diagnosis of pennial cancer (histopathology--squamocellular carcinoma), 13 of whom being from Colentina Dermatological Clinic. The mean age was about 64 years old, 10 cases presenting phimosis. Surgical procedures undergone were represented by partial pennial amputation with bilateral superficial inguinal lymphadenectomy (10 cases), total pennial amputation with superficial inguinal lymphadenectomy (4 cases), respectively emasculation with bilateral inguinal-iliopelvic lymphadenectomy (2 cases). In the postoperative period 3 patients presented lymphedema and lymphorrhagia, solved by conservative management. All the patients benefited of favorable evolution on the period they have responded to the controlled postoperative follow up (1-3 years).
