Drug abuse trends among German youth.

Data of drug consumption in Baden-Würtemberg, Bavaria and West Germany are presented for the period 1967 to 1977. Two different indicators (representative surveys, and overdose deaths and apprehended illicit drugs) are compared. It can be stated that Germany is now in the third development stage of drug consumption characterized by a decentralizing drug scene and the concentration of a hard core of drug users. More than one-third of the hard core contact physicians three times and then move on. This relationship in particular should be analyzed more deeply in the future.

Psychosocial factors influencing alcohol problems in West German survey samples.

In order to distinguish between different types of people endangered by alcohol, five different indicators were used to classify the degree of alcohol affinity: KFA/Feuerlein, German version of part of the Manson Evaluation, alcohol-in-blood concentration, and frequency and amount of drinking. The degree of alcohol affinity potential is quite different depending on each indicator. All indicators together discriminate between nine independent types (each for men/women) of alcohol-endangered people. Further-more, five independent drinking motivations could be factor analyzed. The diversity in this field was completed by sixteen different therapies used by physicians for alcoholism treatment.

Isolation of Chlamydia trachomatis from prostatic tissue of patients undergoing transurethral prostatectomy.

Chlamydia trachomatis was isolated from three of 100 prostatic tissue specimens obtained from patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate. All examined patients were free from symptoms of urethral or prostatic inflammation. Our findings are in accordance with the high incidence of asymptomatic chlamydial infection of the lower genital tract and the increasing evidence that C. trachomatis can cause infection of the prostate.
