The authors discuss in short the accessory bones of the foot and their clinical significance. The table and the X-ray pictures present in detail six patients with external tibial bone in ten feet, causing pain in 7 feet. In all the operated on feet (including 4 in children), degenerative-deforming changes in the articulations between the accessory bone and the navicular bone were found. It was confirmed six times by histopathological examination. The authors think that the degeneration causing pain is itself an indication for removal of the accessory bone and that too few patients with this defect are treated surgically.

A case of the young female patient is presented. The patient was treated for urolithiasis for several years. The disease was diagnosed with urography only revealing urinary retention. The use of a contrast enabled to diagnose disorders of the vascularization of kidneys causing urinary retention. It is worth mentioning that atypical localization of pain in the right epigastric region additionally complicated the diagnosis.

The results of tests applied to two groups of the patients who underwent elective surgeries are being discussed. The patients were selected with the aid of J.C. Raven's Intelligence Quotient, H.J. Eysenck's Personality Inventory, J. Taylor's Personality Scale, and Spielberg's S.T.A.I. The patients were operated at the Casualty and Orthopaedic Surgery Department of the Surgical Institute, Military Academy of Medicine. Postoperative analgesia was achieved with i.m. pethidine (1 mg/kg b.w.) in the group of 30 patients with low intensity of neurosis and anxiety while the group of 60 patients with high level of neurosis and anxiety required three different techniques: pethidine (dose as above) intravenously, electric stimulation and placebo stimulation. The following tests were applied to all patients before surgery and on the three postoperative days: 1) evaluation of anxiety level, 2) determination and detection of pain points, 3) pain intensity determination, 4) determination of the dose of analgetic agent required for pain abolishment. Other factors determined included: 1) efficiency of both electric and placebo efficacy, 2) analgesic drug dose vs. pain intensity, 3) pain vs. anxiety ratio. The obtained results indicated that considerable oscillations of the emotional tension are observed in both pre- and postoperative periods. Intensity of pain and its compliance to the treatment are closely related to the level of anxiety. Psychological examination performed in patients preoperatively enables to foresee the postoperative pain intensity and to plan the course of therapy.

The results of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in 26 patients, including 14 sportsmen, have been presented. The Jones method was used. The results of reconstruction were evaluated at 6-28 months after operation. Instability was diagnosed using the anterior drawer symptom and Lachman symptoms as well as the Jacobsen's radiological method. In evaluation of treatment results the 4-grade subjective evaluation scale and the Lysholm-Gillquist point test were used. The advantages of this method of reconstruction, consisting in removal of subjective pain, and the disadvantages, consisting in incomplete removal of instability symptoms of the joint, have been presented.

Three cases of rare functional psychogenic contractures in girls aged 6, 12, and 14 years have been presented. The contractures occurred suddenly, without an underlying reason and without pain. The diagnosis was given after elimination of other diseases. Recovery without recurrence was obtained after simulate rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and psychogagia for 4-8 week.

A group of 40 women having undergone abdominal gynecological operations were studied for the comparative evaluation of nalbuphine and morphine. The analgetics were used to relieve postoperative pain in the technique of double blind trial. 20 women were administered 20 mg of nalbuphine and 20 women were administered 10 mg of morphine. Within 6 hours following the administered of each of the drugs, the authors evaluated the analgetic effectiveness, haemodynamic, ventilatory and gasometric parameters. Most of the women showed satisfactory and comparable analgetic effectiveness of the two drugs for six hours. No influence was found of any of the analgetics on the physiological parameters examined. The frequency and intensification of side-effects were the same both after administering nalbuphine and morphine. In the authors' opinion, in a proper dose, nalbuphine is an analgetic equal to morphine with respect to analgetic effectiveness and time of pharmacological action.

The author studied the effect of INH administered in single and repeated doses on affective aggressiveness. INH's effect on predatory aggressiveness was evaluated following administration of the drug in a single dose in three different doses. Affective aggressiveness was provoked by pain stimulus, predatory aggression by chronic isolation. In order to evaluate the role of catecholaminergic neurons in INH's effect on affective aggression, electrical damage of structures known to have such neurons was carried out. INH was administered in a single and in multiple doses increasing affective aggressiveness in rats. This was intensified by destruction of the nucleus locus coeruleus and decreased by destroying ventral parts of the noradrenergic and dopaminergic pathways of the A-10 structure. INH decreased predatory aggressiveness of rats. The results of this study demonstrate the role of catecholamines in INH influence on aggression, showing also different roles of both studied neurological structures in regulation of aggression in rats.

Fourteen female patients married to infertile men were artificially inseminated with the semen of unknown donors within 1985-1987. Over 150 inseminations (no complications except sporadic pain) produced 7 pregnancies out of which 5 were finished with the delivery of healthy babies, one was terminated in the seventh week with abortion. Fate of the remaining pregnancy is unknown. Ethical-legal implications of AID, the problem of donors and classification of semen, and necessity to store the semen at the temperature of liquid nitrogen due to the risk of AID are emphasized.

In 60 patients treated in hospital for discopathy the effectiveness of morphine epidural blockade was studied in the control of very strong pain. The patients were divided into 3 groups with 20 cases in each group. Group I received morphine 5 mg with 5 ml of 1% xylocaine. In group II and III the blockade was repeated giving by the double blind method either morphine with normal saline 5 ml followed by xylocaine as the second blockade (in 20 cases) or normal saline injected epidurally in 20 cases. The analgesic effect was assessed measuring the duration of analgesia. After morphine blockades the mean duration of analgesia was 20 hours, and the addition of xylocaine had no effect on it. Following xylocaine blockade the mean time of analgesia was 9.8 hours, and after normal saline injection it was 8.0 hours. The sensory phenomena experienced after morphine by most patients suggest that morphine exerts not only a local but also a central effect, while the similarity of the effects of xylocaine and normal saline suggests an analgesic effect independent of conduction block after epidural injection of these substances.

The reported study was carried out in 26 patients hospitalized for protracted acute lumbosciatic pain syndrome lasting from 3 weeks to 3 months. In all patients the concentration of haemoglobin A1c was assessed in the erythrocytes by the colorimetric method of Thoma and Kutter. The control group comprised 14 healthy subjects in the same age group. The obtained results were subjected to statistical analysis which demonstrated an evident increase in the mean concentration of haemoglobin A1c in the erythrocytes in cases of lumbosciatic pain syndrome of protracted course.
