    Notes: Objective: To assess correlates of hypocholesterolemia in moderate to critical surgical illness. Design: Prospective analysis of laboratory and clinical data. Setting: Department of surgery in a university hospital. Patients: 135 patients undergoing uncomplicated abdominal surgery or with sepsis, liver failure, hemorrhage, severe cholestasis, or multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Interventions: Surgical and/or medical therapy according to clinical status. Measurements and main results: Determinations of total cholesterol, additional variables, and clinical data. Cholesterol decreased after surgery, in sepsis, liver failure, acute hemorrhage, and MODS and increased in cholestasis. Hypocholesterolemia correlated with decreases in plasma proteins and indices of hepatic protein synthetic adequacy, with hemodilution from blood loss, and was moderated or prevented by cholestasis. Conclusions: These results help to explain the dynamics of the development, clinical relevance, and negative prognostic value of hypocholesterolemia in critical illness.

    Notes: Summary This preliminary paper compares encephalography and computed tomography as regards the duration of the examinations, the technical difficulties and their diagnostic values. Some examples are reported to demonstrate the complementary importance of the two techniques.

    Notes: Summary Sixty patients with cerebral ischemia were studied by both CT and angiography. The results are: 1. Thrombosis of the internal carotid artery: CT shows a hypodensity lateral to the frontal horn. 2. Thrombosis of the middle cerebral artery: the hypodensity occupies the convexity of the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes. 3. In thrombosis of the posterior cerebral artery there is an occipital hypodensity, while in thrombosis of the vertebral artery the hypodensity occupies a cerebellar hemisphere. 4. Circulatory disturbances without occlusion of the major cerebral vessles: there is a disproportion between the serious CT lesion and paucity of the angiographic findings.

    Notes: Summary In sepsis tissue O2 uptake may be abnormally limited because of a depressed O2 consumption/O2 transport relationship. This study has been performed to assess patterns of O2 consumption, CO2 production and O2 transport in septic patients undergoing total parenteral nutrition; more in particular, this study has investigated the interdependence between the patterns of blood O2 uptake and simultaneous CO2 release, and the availability of substrates (amino acids, glucose and fat). It has been shown that the O2 consumption/O2 transport relationship is significantly influenced by the exogenous amino acid load, which tends to increase O2 uptake and O2 consumption at any given O2 transport, thus suggesting a favourable effect of amino acid administration on energy metabolism. The data on CO2 production and CO2 release, in addition to reconfirming the results of previous studies, have shown that the changes in O2 uptake and in CO2 production mediated by substrate doses have a quantifiable impact on blood O2-CO2 exchange interactions.
