    Summary: Popliteal aneurysms are still controversial in terms of their pathogenesis, and challenging in terms of their treatment. This book offers a detailed overview of the latest advances in our understanding of the disease, and highlights the latest theories. Divided into eght sections, it focuses on: the historical background, embryology and anatomy of the popliteal artery, clinical presentation and diagnosis, pros and cons of traditional surgical techniques, pros and cons of advanced endovascuar techniques. The last section focuses on non-atherosclerotic popliteal aneurysme, i.e. on diseases in which popliteal aneurysms may specifically appear, rendering more challenging the diagnosis and the treatment As stressed in the foreword by the Chief Editor of the Journal of Vascuar Surgery, this book, given its scope, offers a valuable guide for all health professionals - experts and in training -.involved in vascular pathology and surgery.

    Microbiological examinations carried out in the intensive surgical-care unit of the "Calixto García" Teaching Hospital between October, 1974 and February, 1976 are exposed. Nineteen examinations were carried out in the unit and results were as follows: 53,1% of the personnel had pathogenic germs (43,8%, coagulase-positive staphylococci; 6,3%, beta-hemolytic streptococci; and 6,3%, Klebsiella). Acceptable results were obtained in the unit air but it was not the case in laboratory and nursery sections. Pathogenic germs found on surfaces and equipments were coagulase-positive staphylococcus, Klebsiella, Aerobacter, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Citrobacter, Proteus, Escherichia coli and enterococci.
