ABSTRACT:
Antibiotherapy has a great impact on morbidity and mortality. At the same time it accounts for a significant proportion of hospital costs. An antibiotic policy becomes necessary to ensure adequate treatment while minimizing the development of bacterial resistance and keeping treatment costs at an affordable level.

Programul de educatie medicala continua online EMCB, al Colegiului Medicilor din Bucuresti isi continua activitatea. Se afla in pregatire cea de-a treia etapa a acestui program care va debuta cel mai probabil la inceputul lunii martie 2006.

Pentru inregistrarea in program click aici. Medicii care s-au inscris la primele etape ale programului, nu mai trebuie sa se inscrie din nou. Pentru acestia sunt valabile numele de utilizator si parola stabilite atunci. In atentia medicilor sot/sotie, frati sau lucrand in aceeasi institutie: nu pot fi inscrisi doi utilizatori folosind aceeasi adresa de email. Rugam persoanele aflate in aceasta situatie sa furnizeze adrese diferite de mail.

Reamintim cu acest prilej ca programul EMCB NU se adreseaza medicilor stomatologi, programa de specialitate a acestora nemaifiind preocuparea Colegiului Medicilor din Bucuresti. In consecinta stomatologii nu pot fi inscrisi in program.

Va asteptam!

Stimati colegi,

Va rugam sa verificati existenta si functionalitatea adresei de email cu care v-ati inscris la programul EMCB. Unele dintre aceste adrese nu mai sunt de actualitate din diverse motive cum ar fi: neaccesarea vreme indelungata a adresei respective, casuta postala plina (fara posibilitatea primirii altor mesaje) etc.
Intrucat adresa de email este singura noastra cale de a lua legatura cu Dvs revenim cu rugamintea de a va pune la punct aceste casute postale pentru ulterioare notificari in legatura cu programul. Va rugam sa ne semnalati de asemenea daca v-ati schimbat adresa de email sau alte modificari survenite in datele de inregistrare.

Abstract

Background: Psoas abscess is an uncommon clinical entity and presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Clinical diagnosis is difficult because of non-specific symptoms and signs. Materials and Methods: The authors present the case of a 50 years old female patient admitted for fever of unknown origin with repeated sterile blood, urine and stool cultures. Results: The outcome was good with no relapse at one year follow-up. Conclusions: Routine laboratory evaluation is seldom useful for the diagnosis of primary pyogenic psoas abscess. Conventional radiological techniques are often unhelpful. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are more useful than ultrasonography.
Key Words: psoas abscess, magnetic resonance imaging, b-hemolytic Streptococcus pyogenes.

Abstract

Anomalies of the right atrium, due to incomplete resorption of the embryologic structures, are difficult to diagnose and to establish the future management. One of these structures, the Eustachian valve, is often reported with different unexpected complications. This report presents the case of a patient with a prominent right atrial mass that was suspected at the transesophageal echocardiography to be a thrombus, but the possibility of an embryological remnant was not excluded. The patient had also significant degenerative aortic regurgitation, for which she was operated. The intraoperative right atrial inspection revealed a large Eustachian valve, which was removed. Subsequent pathologic examination confirmed the diagnostic. Although Eustachian valve is usually considered a rare condition, it should not be omitted when evaluating a patient with a right atrial mass.
Key words: eustachian valve, echocardiography, right atrial mass.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) represent a complex system of uniquely-equipped antigen presenting cells that control both initiation and modulation of the immune responses. Extensive studies documented well the crucial role of DCs not only as triggers of the primary immune activation but also in the induction of the immunological tolerance.
