  • 7CENTRAL SLEEP APNEA CHEYNE-STOKES RESPIRATION PATHOPHYSIOLOGY, DIAGNOSIS, PROGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT ASPECTS

    AbstractCheyne-Stokes Respiration (CSR) in chronic heart failure (CHF) is the most common form of central

    sleep apnea (CSA). CSR reflects typical loop gain mechanism, used to describe the response of any negative feedback system to changes in the controlled parameter. The key components of the loop gain are central gain, plant gain and mixing gain. The pathogenesis of CSR is based on the presence of non-metabolic ventilatory stimuli resulting from increased pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, upregulation of chemoreceptors due to sympathoadrenal activation, and decreased functional residual capacity, and prolonged circulatory time in result of decreased cardiac output.The clinical significance of CSR in CHF is determined by its high frequency (20-40% of CHF patients)

    and negative impact on the prognosis, mortality and quality of life. On the other hand, CSR is hardly recognizable due to the poor clinical profile of the patients and the need of highly specialized medical investigation (laboratory polysomnography). The therapeutical approaches to treat CSR have shown good results in terms of improving the

    quality of life, mortality reduction, reduction in hospitalization and emergency visits rate. The most common treatments are continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and oxygen therapy. The alternatives include bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP), adaptive servo ventilation (ASV), CO2 and Acetazolamid.

    Key words: central sleep apnea, Cheyne-Stokes respiration, chronic heart failure, polysomnography, noninvasive ventilation

    BRONCHIECTASIS IN CHILDHOOD

    AbstractBronchiectasis is defined as congenital or acquired localized, permanent irreversible dilatation of

    part of the bronchial tree, caused by destruction of the muscular and elastic components of bronchial walls due to chronic inflammatory secretions and microbial invasion. The most common symptoms in children with bronchiectasis are obstinate chronic cough with malodorous expectoration, sometimes accompanied by hemoptysis, recidive respiratory infections, persistent findings at chest x-ray and physical examination.In developed countries, the frequency of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis is reduced through

    application of broad-spectrum antibiotics, immunization programmes, improved health care and quality of life. The predominant treatment is conservative. Successful management depends on the early recognition of bronchiectasis and is aimed to relieve symptoms, to prevent complications, and to control exacerbations. Generally, medical management of bronchiectasis includes antibiotic therapy, mucolitics and chest physical therapy with postural drainage and chest clapping. Provisional follow up and early detection of the entities, associated with bronchiectasis, ensures

    early management. Up to 83% of pediatric patients with bronchiectasis benefit from the conservative treatment. In the rest of the patients surgical intervention is required.

    T II, 2010, .1 OCULAR MANIFESTATIONS OF

    SARCOIDOSIS

    AbstractSarcoidosis is a multi-system disease with unknown etiology with the following characteristics: hilar

    lymphadenopathy, pulmonary infiltrations, ocular and skin damage with formed immune granulomas in the affected organs. The incidence of the disease depends on age, gender, race and geographical location. The incidence for Bulgaria is 8.7/100 000. The disease occurs in different ways: from benign, recovered for 1 2 years to life-long with developing multi-organ dysfunction. Ocular sarcoidosis occurs in 25 30% of the patients. There are extra- and intraocular manifestations. The most frequently affected of uvea 70%. There are certain international criteria for intraocular sarcoidosis: fat corneal precipitates, iris nodules (Koppe/Busacca), nodes of the trabecular apparatus, opacities in vitreous body (snow balls, pearls), horioretinal peripheral damage, segment periphlebitis and/or retinal microaneurism in the sore eye, optical disk granulomas, and/or solitary horioid nodes, bilateral spread of the disease. Firstly it is a differential diagnosis with tuberculosis. The treatment of ocular sarcoidosis include corticosteroids, antimalarial drugs, immunosuppressors, nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs, vasodilatators, cyclosporine A, calcium absorbents, antifibrotic drugs. The diagnosis of ocular sarcoidosis is difficult necessitating a biopsy of conjunctiva. In each patient with ocular sarcoidosis monitoring is needed not less 2 years after the subsidence of the disease.

    AbstractThe early detection of nonsmall lung cancer (NSCLC) is of importance because it provides chances

    for better outcomes. The aim of the study was to explore the clinical utility of EGFR and hTERT mRNA expression as markers for diagnosis of NSCLC. Methods: EGFR and hTERT mRNA were quantified by quantative reverse transcription real time polymerase chain reaction in plasma of 45 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and 40 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, selected by certain spirometric characteristics that made them at high risk of developing lung cancer in future. Results: The gene expression level of each gene was calculated and given as a relative quantity RQ. EGFR gene expression was found in all lung cancer patients. The mean level of expression was RQ = 29.39. hTERT mRNA could be detected in 88% of the patients. The mean expression ratio in them was RQ = 17.31. Only 50% of the high risk patients turned to be positive for EGFR. The level of their expression was RQ = 2.09. The plasma levels of hTERT could be detected in 17 (42.5%) patients of the high risk COPD group. Their mean level of expression was RQ=1.02. A statistically significant difference in EGFR and hTERT mRNA expression could be observed between the two groups of patients (p=0.0001). EGFR and hTERT mRNA are potential markers for lung cancer diagnosis, whose clinical importance

    should be replicated in a larger cohort of patients.

    COMPARATIVE ESTIMATION OF CLINICAL INDICES CONCERNING ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE IN PATIENTS WITH COMMUNITY ACQUIRED LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS TREATED IN PULMONARY WARD AND INTENSIVE CARE UNIT

    AbstractCommunity acquired lower respiratory tract infections are diseases with medico social significance,

    and their antibiotic resistance is a global problem. The aim of the study is to establish the differences between the main clinical indices of the patients in pulmonary ward and intensive care unit. 353 patients divided into two compared groups have been conducted during five year period. We found significant differences concerning some factors of development of the antibiotic resistance. There is necessity for more exhaustive studies for accurate estimation of the resistance.

    LAZER PULMONARY METASTASECTOMY(NEW LIGHT IN THE TUNNEL)

    AbstractIntroduction: The surgical treatment of pulmonary mtastases was only a stage of the palliation care

    until now, usually after chemotherapy. It requires certain experience and a sparing surgical approach. The surgical techniques, used until now, have their advantages as well as some disadvantages, such as reduction of functional healthy lung tissue, which made them inapplicable for multiple lesions. Unique laser system has been used in the Department of Thoracic Surgery Military Medical Academy since December 2009. The parameters of the device allow precise resection of multiple pulmonary metastases, without significant reduction of respiratory volume.Material and method: We have used a 1319 nm Nd:YAG Laser system. The first four patients with

    single lung metastasis from different primary malignancies were operated at the clinic. The surgical approach was thoracotomy. Results: The mean postoperative stay was four and a half days. The drainage systems were taken

    out between the 24th and 48th hour. The pathological findings proved the location and type of the primary tumor. There were no complications and perioperative deaths.Conclusion: The precise resection in a close proximity to the tumor tissue, using laser systems for

    thoracic surgery, does not confront the principles of the oncological radicalism as reported in the literature. The practical lack of reduction of breathing lung parenchyma using laser resection allows the removal of multiple lesions of different sizes up to 124, in both lungs and a size of biggest 14 cm in diameter.

    Key words: lung metastases, lazer metastasectomy, thoracotomy

    OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME AND CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW

    AbstractSeveral studies have demonstrated a clear association between snoring, sleep apnea and increased

    risk of stroke. The aim of our study was to investigate cerebral haemodynamic changes during the waking state in patients with obstuctive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Materials and methods: 20 patients (15 males and 5 females) with mean age 42.4 (15.9) years and mean body mass index (BMI) 33.7 (6.16) participate in the study. Ten of them were with polysomnography documented severe OSAS end ten were control subjects. All participants were studied by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography. The dynamics of cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) were investigated in the middle cerebral artery in both groups. Left and right middle cerebral arteries were examined. The systolic (VS) diastolic (VD) and mean (VM) cerebral blood flow velocities were determined. Results: All three velocities (VS = 69.1cm/s v/s 92.8 cm/s, VD =32.2 v/s 40.6, VM = 44.2 cm/s v/s

    59,3cm/s) were significantly lower in patients with OSAS, than those in the control subjects. In conclusion our results suggest that patients with OSAS have decreased cerebral blood flow

    velocities. These may lead to decrease in cerebral perfusion, to lead to cerebral atherosclerosis, and to increase risk of stroke.

    Key words: sleep apnea, cerebral haemodynamic, transcranial doppler ultrasonography

    SLEEP APNEA AND DENTISTRY CROSSING POINTS

    AbstractThe purpose of this study is to show the intersections between the sleep apnea and dental medicine.

    Oral appliances are intended to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) by keeping the airway open in one of three ways: by pushing the lower jaw forward with a mandibular advancement device; by preventing the tongue from falling back over the airway with a tongue-retaining device, or by combining both. They are the proper treatment solutions for the patients with mild to moderate OSA.

    Key words: obstructive sleep apnea, upper airway resistance syndrome, mandibular advancement device, tongue-retaining device

    LEOPOLD AUENBRUGGER (1722 1809): THE FATHER OF PERCUSSION

    AbstractIn the year 2009 was the 200th anniversary of Leopold Auenbruggers death, a famous Viennese

    physician who developed and introduced the percussion technique to the medical practice. Leopold Auenbrugger was born on 19.11.1722 in Graz, Austria in a family of innkeepers. He received his medical education in the viennese faculty of medicine where his tutor and professor was the famous doctor and chemist Gerhard van Swieten (1700-1772). From 1751 till 1758 the young doctor worked at the Spanish military hospital in Vienna and in the period 1758-1762 he was in charge of the internal division there. He daily confronted severe cases of lung illnesses mostly caused by pulmonary tuberculosis. Often they were accompanied by pleural effusions, that were undetectable in life and were found only on the autopsy table. For 7 years L. Auenbrugger was developing a physical method which he decided to call percussion with which it was made possible to diagnose the effusions in the thorax before the examination of the patient. As a result of his studies was his famous work which he published in Vienna in 1761 by the title Inventum novum e percussione thoracis humani ut signo abstrusos interni pectoris morbos detegendi (A New Discovery that Enables the Physician from the Percussion of the Human Thorax to Detect the Diseases Hidden Within the Chest). In his work he describes not only the pathological findings by the pulmonary illness, but gave a classical description of the cardio aneurism and pericardial effusion. In 1808 Jean Nicolas Corvisart (1755-1822), the personal physician of Napoleon Bonapartem, later recognized Inventum novum and translated it in French and added his own observations reminding in the preface that the sole developer of the technique was Auenbrugger. In this way the percussion technique found fame in the medical world and together whit the discovery of the auscultation technique by stethoscope by R. Laennec in 1816 widen the diagnostic capability by the bed of the patient.The percussion and auscultation techniques stay a classical method even in modern days for

    examining patients. Key words: L. Auenbrugger, percussion , history of medicine
