Review[Kidney transplantation from paediatric cadaveric donors to adult recipients (review article)].
The basic problem of all developed transplant programs is organs deficiency available for transplantation. There is an effort within last 10 years to get each organ for transplantation that it is supposed to be functional for several years. These problems also occur in the program of kidney transplantation. ⋯ All at once the present surgical technique is described and the problems of some post-operative complications are discussed, especially the higher occurrence of primary graft non-function. The principle that kidneys from donor up to three years should be transplanted as a block to the single recipient is emphasized. In conclusion the author recommends, on the basis of his own experiences, the realizing of these transplantations.

Review[Disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome and protein C].
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is characterized by systemic activation of the haemostasis. In many instances the release of inflammatory cytokines and tissue factor trigger the system in septic or traumatic conditions. Initially, the increased activation of haemostasis can be compensated by natural inhibitor systems. ⋯ Fresh frozen plasma, blood transfusion, and fibrinogen concentrate correct the bleeding, if needed, in the case of traumatic (obstetric) DIC. Arrest of the activated haemostasis by heparin and natural anticoagulants (antithrombin or/and protein C) is recommended, mainly in septic conditions with systemic inflammatory reactions. A case of stercoral sepsis usefully treated by recombinant human activated protein C is reported.
