Study on the Potential and Needs of the New Member States Country report: Romania

This study provides an overview of the developmental challenges and opportunities facing Romania and relates these to an analysis of the issues to be addressed by the future EU co-financed Cohesion policy strategy in 2007-2013. The report argues that the main focus of future Cohesion policy should be on constructing and enhancing public infrastructure, particularly in the field of transport networks. Romania’s current connections with EU markets are of poor quality, thus acting as an obstacle to business development, trade and the attraction of foreign direct investment. As well as enhancing the Romanian sections of relevant Trans-European Networks, there is also a need to ensure effective linkages to these networks. There are further investment needs in other areas of infrastructure, such as water and waste water systems, education and training facilities, and IT infrastructure and equipment. Other types of support needed relate to improvements to the productive context for business activity, and investment in human and knowledge capital. Further weaknesses relate to institutional capacity

Acute pyelonephritis: etiology, clinical and evolutive correlations, treatment

Secţia Urologie IMSP Spitalul Clinic Republican, Catedra Urologie şi Nefrologie Chirurgicală USMF „N.Testemiţanu”, Al V-lea Congres de Urologie, Dializă şi Transplant Renal din Republica Moldova cu participare internaţională (1-13 iunie 2011)Summary. Acute pyelonephritis (AP) is pathology of maximum urgency with an increased occurrence frequency between the ages of 20 and 50 years. This disease predominates in women, being on second place after respiratory infections. A group of 84 patients with AP hospitalized urgently in the Urological Clinic of the Republican Clinical Hospital was examined during the period from the 1st of January, 2008 till 31st of December, 2009. The age of the patients was between 18 and 74 years. There were 12 men and 72 women. The antibacterial treatment as monotherapy was carried out in 36 patients (42.85%) and as an association of antibiotics the treatment was realized in 48 (57.14%) of the patients. The surgical treatment was necessary in 22 (26.19%) patients. Uroculture and hemoculture are obligatory for the realization of the monotherapy with antibiotics, that would reduce costs, the risks of adverse reactions and would have the same effect as the treatment with the association of antibiotics. Draining of the urinary tract and of the source of infection should be practiced urgently only after the hemodinamic re-equilibration and stabilization of the patient’s condition

Acute pyelonephritis in urological practice – causes, diagnostic and treatment

Catedra Urologie şi Nefrologie Chirurgicală, Universitatea de Stat de Medicină şi Farmacie ,,Nicolae Testemiţanu”, Secţia de Urologie, IMSP Spitalul Clinic RepublicanPielonefrita acută (PNA) este o patologie care se poziţionează pe locul doi după infecțiile respiratorii, cu o incidenţă maximă între 20 și 50 ani. A fost studiat un lot de 216 bolnavi cu PNA și 32 paciente gravide cu pielonefrită acută (PNAG) trataţi timp de 5 ani în clinica de Urologie SCR. Vîrsta pacienților cu PNA a fost între 18 și 81 ani, vîrsta medie fiind de 34,6 ani; vîrsta pacientelor gravide cu PNA a fost între 18 și 32 ani, cu vîrsta medie de 22,9 ani. Tratament intervențional în PNA au necesitat 83 (38,4%) pacienți. În PNAG cateterizarea ureterului a fost efectuată în 15 (46,9%) cazuri și înstalarea stentului JJ în 10 (31,2%) cazuri. Urocultura și hemocultura, efectuată la internare, ar putea reduce costul și imbunătăţi eficacitatea tratamentului. Controlul sursei de infecție și drenarea căilor urinare în PNA și PNAG sunt o necesitate urgentă.Acute pyelonephritis (APN) is a pathology which is ranked second only to respiratory infections, with a maximum incidence between 20 and 50 years. We studied a group of 216 patients with APN and 32 pregnant women with acute pyelonephritis (APNP) hospitalized for 5 years in Urology Department. Age of patients with APN varied between 18 and 81 years, with an average age of 34,6 years, age of pregnant women with APN varied between 18 and 32 years, with a mean age of 22,9 years. APNP required interventional treatment in 83 (38,4%) patients. In APNP the catheterization of ureters was performed in 15 (46,9%) cases and installing JJ stent in 10 (31.2%) cases. Urine culture and blood culture, performed on admission, could reduce the cost and improve the effectiveness of treatment. Source control and urinary drainage in APN and APNP are urgently needed
