[Distinct hypokalemia in leukotic infiltrates of the kidney].

Report on a 74-year-old female patient falling ill from a chronic myelosis. Due to leukotic infiltrates of the kidneys renal loss of potassium and extreme hypopotassaemia appeared. On the basis of the present literature clinical symptomatology and morphological finding are discussed.

[The nodular mesenteric pseudoxanthomatosis (Schaefer) (author's transl)].

A casus of so-called nodular mesenteric pseudoxanthomatosis (Schaefer) was investigated by a 73 years old woman. This special findings in the mesenteric lymphnodes were interpreted as changes after inflammatory or infectious diseases in the alimentary tract. For the exact designation was proposed the term lymphonodular mesenteric pseudoxanthomatosis.

[Sarcoidosis of the central nervous system].

Report on a 31-year-old man who fell ill from a meningoencephalitis in Boeck's disease. The course was subacute, in which case at first meningitic, later on focal encephalomeningitic symptoms stood in the first place. In the post-mortem examination a severe epitheloid-cellular granulomatosis of brain, spinal cord and their meninges was established. An affection of the lungs, of the bronchopulmonary lymphatic nodes, liver and spleen was also to be verified. It is referred to the diagnostic difficulties and the evident variability of the clinical picture of a cerebromeningeal sarcoidosis.

[Studies on surgical preparations for the concentration of radionuclides in brain tumors].

A total of 69 surgical preparations were used to determine the tumor-brain quotients of a number of radiopharmaceuticals and compare them with data reported in the literature of which the majority were externally measured values. The increases in activity of the tumor were on average, 2.5 times (131-J-HSA), 2.9 times (99m-Tc-pertechnate), and 3-5 times (197-Hg-Neohydrin) higher than those of the brain tissue. The lowest tumor-brain quotients were obtained for astrocytomas regardless of the radiopharmaceutical used, while high values were found for meningiomas, glioblastomas, and some of the spongioblastomas. In 44 cases tumor-brain quotients could be compared with scintigraphic results of which 36 were positive. Tumors having values less than 1-5 could not be scintigraphed. In the case of a negative scintigram of the brain the size and location relative to the base of the skull played a significant role although the tumor-brain quotient was high.
