Computed tomography of familial pineoblastoma.

Although certain tumors such as retinoblastoma have a known familial pattern of transmission, the familial occurrence of pineoblastoma has not been reported previously. We report pineoblastomas occurring in a mother and daughter and suggest that this type of tumor may have an inheritable mode of transmission.

A double-blind study of topical massage with Rado-Salil ointment in mechanical low-back pain.

Forty patients with acute mechanical low-back pain were treated in a double-blind manner with either Rado-Salil or placebo for 14 days. Statistically significant improvements in spontaneous pain, muscular contracture and in both the patient's and physician's opinions occurred by day 3. These improvements persisted at day 14 and, in addition, there were statistically significant improvements in the finger-floor distance and the degree of lumbar extension. Treatment with Rado-Salil also allowed significant reduction in the use of oral analgesics. Only a few localized transient side-effects, requiring no specific treatment, were observed.

Double-blind, randomized crossover study of the percutaneous efficacy and tolerability of a topical indomethacin spray versus placebo in the treatment of tendinitis.

Percutaneous efficacy and tolerability of a new topical indomethacin spray compared with a corresponding placebo product were evaluated in a double-blind, randomized crossover study in 30 patients with tendinitis, i.e. 28 patients with peri-arthritis of the shoulder and two with epicondylitis. Each patient was treated with 4% indomethacin spray or the corresponding placebo product three to five times daily for a period of 14 days and then received the other treatment for the same period of time. The indomethacin spray demonstrated a clear efficacy compared with the placebo based on both objective criteria (elevation, abduction and internal rotation) and subjective criteria (spontaneous pain, pain on movement, pressure-induced pain, functional disturbances and sleep disturbances). Tolerability was excellent: only two patients had minor local cutaneous irritation with the indomethacin spray, which did not require interruption of treatment. Treatment with indomethacin spray appeared to be effective in 80% and well-tolerated in 93% of the patients studied.
