[Quantitative determination of rubella virus antibodies in capillary blood. A simple, reliable and economic method (author's transl)].

In order to carry out a serological control for rubella mass vaccination with the least possible organization and financial expense a study was made to see whether the more economical hemolysis in gel test (HIG) achieved comparable results to the hemagglutination inhibition test (HHT) and whether the reliability of investigation of capillary blood corresponded to that of venous blood. The prevaccination immunity of 935 schoolgirls was tested with the HHT and HIG tests with venous and capillary blood. The results of the HIG test with both venous and capillary blood were equal in all 935 cases, so that the investigation of capillary blood is suitable for the determination of rubella specific antibodies.

[Polymorphonuclear infiltration of the placenta in cases with internal fetal monitoring (author's transl)].

The infectious morbidity due to intra-amniotic fetal monitoring was studied morphologically in 100 spontaneous deliveries with intra-amniotic fetal monitoring. The control group consisted of 100 spontaneous deliveries with external fetal monitoring. It was shown that internal fetal monitoring does not increase the infectious morbidity with total labours of up to 12 hours. The occurrence of inflammatory cell infiltrates in the placenta, the membranes and the umbilical cord is not in each case due to a bacterial intra-uterine infection. The pathogenesis of these infiltrates is discussed comparing the results of the literature and this study.

Use of biotinylated DNA probes in screening cells obtained from cervical swabs for human papillomavirus DNA sequences.

A nonradioactive DNA-detection procedure using biotinylated DNA probes in the screening of cells from cervical swabs for DNA sequences homologous to human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA was tested. This alternative DNA-detection method yielded results comparable to those obtained with radioisotope-labeled DNA probes in 32 cases tested. This procedure obviates the special precautions required for radioisotope materials. Accordingly, this technique can be made available to many laboratories, and conclusive evidence as to the relation of HPV infection to cervical cancer may thus be accumulated.

[Conceptual basis of rehabilitation of patients with stroke].

The authors describe the basis of the current concept of rehabilitation of patients with stroke. This concept is based on recent neurophysiological findings about the processes of information, learning, and memory. This indicates that the plasticity of cerebral structures depends especially on the possibilities either to rebuild or to compensate for destroyed structures with programs of rehabilitation. A comparison is given of 101 stroke patients rehabilitated according to a conventional program and the better results for 295 stroke victims rehabilitated according to a more modern rehabilitation program. Another investigation showed, as an example of the Babinsky phenomenon, that stroke patients can develop the ability to suppress. The results and dynamics of rehabilitation of stroke are an encouragement to continue researching new ways for more effective rehabilitation.

[Social sequelae and problems following apoplexy].

162 patients with stroke (cerebrovascular accident) were investigated of some social problems. The patients were treated in two internal clinics or in a rehabilitation center for stroke-patients. The assessments were accomplished in 30 months after clinical treatment. The average of age was 69 years. The percentage of women was 61%. The majority of patients lives in own flats, 12% in a nursing home. The furniture of flats, was often not approximated for disabled persons. The care almost was undertaken through relatives. More institutional support could be helpful in few cases. Help was wished in according to conditions of flats, meals on wheels, programs for self-activities, references to nursing, technical helpings and transportation services. These investigations suggest that the families are an important factor in rehabilitation of stroke. They need social and psychological support. The attitude of family determinated essential the prognosis of rehabilitation.

[Indications for special rehabilitation programs for cerebrovascular strokes].

The rehabilitation of patients with stroke was a long time a neglected problem. Meanwhile there are several hospitals with comprehensive rehabilitation services with physical, occupational, speech, psychological and social assessments. The effectiveness were investigated in 296 stroke patients. 195 patients from two internal hospitals were compared with 101 patients from a hospital rehabilitation unit. Both groups were very similar according of age, sex, nature of stroke and the most of other factors. The effect were evaluated on the basic of ADL-classes (activities of daily living) at the time of discharge. The success of the special rehabilitation was better in patients with aphasia, flaccid and strong spastic hemiparesis, complicated diseases, lower motivation and mild or moderate psychoorganic syndromes. Absent of ability to cooperate limited the rehabilitation outcomes. In mild and severe followings of stroke were found same results in both groups. High age of life alone are not decreased the prognosis.
