[Recent progress in morphology and diagnosis of bone diseases and bone tumors (author's transl)].

1. Bone structure is shaped by a specialized bone cell system comprising osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts. --2. The function of this bone cell system is impaired by metabolic bone disease altering bone structure, bone mass and mineral content. --3. In metabolic bone disease a striking improvement in morphologic diagnosis could be obtained recently using undecalcified preparations of bone tissue as well as histomorphometric methods. --4. For exact diagnosis and successful therapy of bone tumors interdisciplinary cooperation is mandatory. The advantages of modern morphologic methods are proven helpful in diagnosing benign and malignant bone tumors.

[Observations in vitamin D and dihydrotachysterol poisoning].

In three women intoxication with vitamin D or dihydrotachysterol occurred. Two patients died from complications despite successful lowering of the serum calcium, the third died after a pulmonary embolus during hypercalcaemia 5 months after cessation of vitamin D. Correct observation of the narrow therapeutic range of vitamin D preparations appears most important in the treatment of hypoparathyroidism and other indications. Particular attention should be given to the prophylaxis of over dosage. Apart from regular serum calcium estimations instruction of the patient and relatives as to the dangers and symptoms of intoxication is recommended. The issuing of a therapy identity card would meet these requirements.
