Of the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COLD) and severe obstructive syndrome, 39 whose age was under 40 were selected. In 23 of them, the anamnesis revealed bronchopulmonary affections in childhood, that required admission into the hospital (19 were non-smokers). Of the rest of 16 patients, 14 were hard smokers that started to smoke before the age of 14. The functional picture was severely modified, similarly to that of the COLD patients in the 6th decade of life. This suggests that the degradation process started in the childhood, and that the chronic respiratory diseases and/or smoking at an early age had an important role.

Starting from the published data that demonstrate the annulling of the negative influence of diabetes-tuberculosis morbid association, the authors studied from the clinical, epidemiologic, paraclinical and therapeutical viewpoints 68 diabetic patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (31 men, 37 women) and a control group of 73 patients (57 men and 16 women), both groups were new cases under a first treatment. There was no difference as regards the onset, evolution up to the moment of detection and diagnosis, the presenting clinical and radiologic forms, the gravity of the cases, biologic test and evolution under treatment. These data demonstrate the efficiency of the present day treatment, regardless of the association of the two diseases, the annulling of the negative influence described in previous years, but also the lability of diabetic patients in spite of the control of tuberculosis by tuberculostatics.

Static expiratory pressure-volume curves obtained in 20 patients with diffuse interstitial lung disease and lung volume within normal ranges (i.e. in patients in an early stage of the disease) showed different patterns of abnormal lung elastic recoil: 1) P-V curves with normal shape but shifted to the right, which suggest an overdistension of a reduced number of functioning alveoli ("lung shrinkage") and 2) flattened P-V curves (i.e. with low static compliance) also shifted to the right, which argue for an abnormal distensibility of most alveoli or a more diffuse spreading of lesions. These patterns suggest a multifactorial genesis of the increased elastic recoil in diffuse interstitial lung disease.

The biopsy of the parietal biopsy with the help of a needle has become an essential method of diagnosis in the adult patients with a pleural malady of an unknown etiology and may become a complementary paraclinical method in children. A sure diagnosis in the tubercular serofibrinous pleurisy with children is made by rendering evident the Koch bacillus on the direct test or in culture and by rendering evident the tubercular lesions on fragments of pleural biopsy puncture. The study is supported on the results obtained at the pleural biopsy puncture performed on a number of 6 children. In four cases out of six the histological test of the pleural fragment has rendered evident the presence of tubercular lymphoepithelioid nodulus with central necrosis, thus carrying the argument of certitude. The pleural biopsy puncture allows an early and sure diagnosis in over two-thirds of the pleurisies of a tubercular etiology.
