13. Qualidade de vida e toxicidade aguda da radioterapia em mulheres com cancer ginecologico : um estudo de coorte prospectivo
To investigate the incidence of acute toxicity in radiotherapy, evaluate quality of life (QOL) and identify predicting factors of QOL in a cohort of women with gynecologic cancer. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted including 107 women with cervical or endometrial cancer and aged between 18 and 75 years. Women with a history of previous pelvic

16. Variaveis pre-operatorias preditivas de risco para complicações pulmonares no pos-operatorio imediato de cirurgias de torax e abdomen alto
To identifY risk variables leading to early postoperative puImonary complications (POPC) in thoracic and upper abdominal surgery. 297 patients undergoing elective surgery were c1assified as low, moderate and high risk for POPC using the PORT scale, as proposed by Torrington &Henderson (1988). The patients were followed for 72 hours afier the operation. POPC

17. Cough threshold after upper abdominal surgery.
The effect of upper abdominal surgery under general anaesthesia on the cough threshold was studied in 26 patients, on the basis of the concentrations of capsaicin and citric acid causing cough. Cough threshold was determined after administering doubling doses of nebulised aerosols of capsaicin and citric acid before operation and on the first and fourth post

19. Effect of aminophylline on respiratory muscle strength after upper abdominal surgery: a double blind study.
BACKGROUND--The effect of aminophylline on maximum respiratory muscle strength in patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery was investigated. METHODS--An open pilot study was performed in which aminophylline was administered continuously for 48 hours after surgery (protocol I). In a second group of subjects aminophylline was given for 24 hours after cholec

20. Oropharyngeal flora and chest infection after upper abdominal surgery.
The oropharyngeal flora was determined before and after operation in 127 patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery. Swabs of the oropharynx were obtained on the day before operation and on the first, third, and fifth postoperative days. Isolation of Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and coliforms was noted. In the 108 patients with the full

21. Microbial flora of the trachea during intubation of patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery.
BACKGROUND: The presence of Haemophilus influenzae in the oropharynx is correlated with the subsequent development of chest infection. The importance of colonisation of the trachea by bacteria at the time of surgery is uncertain. This study investigated the tracheal flora at the time of intubation in 24 patients undergoing elective upper abdominal surgery. M

22. Hypoxaemia after left thoracotomy for benign oesophageal disease.
Arterial blood gases were measured before and after operation in 14 patients undergoing conservative oesophageal surgery via a left thoracotomy. All the patients had a preoperative partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) of greater than 10 kPa, and none gave a history of chronic respiratory disease. All exhibited a fall in PO2 values after operation, the mean maxim

23. Abdominal aortic aneurysm and congenital pelvic kidney. A rare association.
We report the case of a 65-year-old man who presented with an infrarenal aortic aneurysm in association with a congenital right pelvic kidney vascularized by 2 aortic arteries, 1 of which arose from the aneurysmal aorta and the other from the common right iliac artery. Successful surgery consisted of excising the aneurysmal aortic segment and replacing it wi

24. Pulmonary embolism due to compression of the inferior vena cava by a hepatic hemangioma.
We describe a 35-year-old man who had a pulmonary embolism with thrombosis of the inferior vena cava, apparently resulting from compression by a hepatic hemangioma. The diagnosis of pulmonary embolism was confirmed by pulmonary angiography; however, the hemangioma was detected only incidentally, as a hyperechoic mass, during an echocardiogram for intracardia
