[Results of renal transplantation in childhood].

37 renal allografts were performed on 27 children of 2-16 years of age. In 67% function was maintained for more than a year. At the beginning of 1981, 13 children had functioning grafts with a median serum-creatinine level of 1.8 +/- 1.2 mg%. 4 children had a functioning graft for more than 7 years. All children with functioning grafts were fully rehabilitated. Hence, renal transplantation is the optimal therapy in chronic renal insufficiency in childhood.

[The value of sonography in the follow-up of patients with transplanted kidneys].

42 cases with transplanted kidneys were examined by ultrasound. The results were compared critically with clinical and histological data. The ultrasound findings are identical with the other findings in 86%. Ultrasound therefore together with clinical laboratory and nuclear medical findings can in a very high percentage replace other high risk examinations like retrograde pyelography or angiography.

Clinical relevance of radiologic examination of the skeleton and bone density measurements in osteoporosis of old age.

For the diagnosis of primary osteoporosis, various semiquantitative radiologic methods were compared in 149 unselected patients, aged over 50 years. Crush fracture syndrome (CFS), lumbar spine index (LSI), and Singh Index (SI) were assessed by three radiologists and after reevaluation, the intra- and interobserver errors were calculated. The reliability of the subjective grading was improved by joint and repeated reading of the radiographs. Additionally, the peripheral trabecular bone content was measured by photonabsorptiondensitometry (PAD). To test the value of the various semiquantitative methods, LSI, SI, and PAD have been compared with sex-matching before and after separation into age in decades in CFS-positive and CFS-negative patients. In an attempt to differentiate osteoporotics and non-osteoporotics by CFS, our results indicate that CFS-positive and CFS-negative males cannot be separated by LSI, SI, and PAD, whereas in females these methods can discriminate irrespective of the age in decades. However, in age related groups, only SI can discriminate significantly between CFS-positive and CFS-negative females. Correlation of the semiquantitative methods, regardless of the diagnosis of a CFS, revealed a significant correlation-between SI and PAD, but no correlation between LSI and SI, and LSI and PAD, respectively.

[Osteopetrosis (Albers-Schönberg) (author's transl)].

Investigations of a patient with the benign adult form of osteopetrosis (Albers-Schönberg) revealed that the clinical symptoms correlated with a high bone metabolism, high calcium incorporation in bone, increased osteoclast activity and probably reactive increase of calcitonin in the blood.

[Baker cysts: an accompaniment of chronic diseases of the knee joint (author's transl)].

One hundred and twenty one Baker cysts demonstrated by arthrography have been analysed. Morphologically one must distinguish between distension cysts and dissection cysts. Distension cysts are more common with various diseases of the knee joint (68% of all cysts). Dissection cysts (32%) are found particularly with inflammatory-rheumatic diseases and are rarely of degenerative or post-traumatic origin. Acute rupture of the cyst was observed on ten occasions. Repeated rupture, which had only been suspected previously, was demonstrated by arthrography in four patients. It is pointed out that Baker cysts may imitate the features of acute thrombophlebitis.

Antefemoral dissecting cysts in rheumatoid arthritis.

Five cases of an antefemoral synovial cyst in rheumatoid arthritis were confirmed by arthrography. Communicating with the suprapatellar bursa, these rarely observed cysts may be considered an anterior analogy to dissecting Baker cysts.

[Case report of a patient with coexistent rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis].

In simultaneous conditions of inflammatory changes in peripheral joints and in sacroiliac joints, a differential diagnosis, amongst others, of rheumatoid arthritis with involvement of the sacro-iliac joints and also ankylosing spondylitis with peripheral joint involvement should be considered. It seems that in rare cases both diseases occur together. We describe one female patient with coexistence of rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. The X-rays showed sacro-iliitis, syndesmophytes and inflammatory changes of the finger and toes, which are typical for rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid factor was detected in serum and in synovial fluid. HLA B27 was negative. The results of 13 patients with coexistence of rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis reported in the literature since 1975, are compared with the above described patient.

[Atelectases as part of the convex-sided lungs in thoracic scoliosis (author's transl)].

In 4 patients with juvenile idiopathic thoracic scoliosis an atelectasis as part of the convex-sided lungs was found. In all cases there was a small sagittal diameter of the chest; the atelectases were situated in the right lower and middle lobe and caused by the close topographical relation of large bronchi and scoliotic spine (sometimes compression of the bronchus) demonstrable by tomography, bronchoscopy and bronchography. The therapeutic approach of these atelectases is discussed. Thoracic casting either for conservative correction and treatment of scoliosis or as postoperative immobilisation after fusion was done. In all cases, it may influence the occurrence of an atelectasis.

[Radiological aspects of emphysema (author's transl)].

Radiology is the basic factor in diagnosis of emphysema. Further differentiation is possible by assessment of the concomitant cardio-vascular changes. By these means, the type of emphysema (accompanying emphysema in chronic bronchitis, or primary emphysema) can be established.
