[Radiosynoviorthesis with yttrium-90-silicate. Results compared to aurum-198-colloid and whole body radiation load].

The results of the radiosynoviorthesis with yttrium-90 silicate in 36 joints, are reported. In comparison to the radiogold therapy in 64 joint, yttrium-90 was a little more effective. Additionally, the body distribution of radioactive yttrium after radiosynoviorthesis of knee joints, was measured in 6 patients. It could be shown that the uptake of the regional lymphnodes was between 4 and 5% of the yttrium administered. The radiation dose of the regional lymphnodes certainly exceeds 1000 rad. The results point to the importance of a careful selection of patients for radiosynoviorthesis.

[Ultrasonic diagnosis of cardiac and abdominal diseases using real time b-scan technique (author's transl)].

After a short description of the physical principles of ultrasound, the indications and usefulness of the real time B-scan technique in the non-invasive diagnosis of cardiac and abdominal diseases are discussed. A correct diagnosis was made in 90% of the cardiac cases (valve abnormalities, pericardial effusion, cardiac aneurysm, cardiomyopathy), whereas the diagnosis by ultrasound was correct in only 81.1% of the abdominal cases (diffuse and localized liver diseases, pancreatitis, pancreatic cyst, carcinoma of the pancreas, cholelithiasis, renal cyst, renal tumours, aortic aneurysm). The advantages of the real time B-scan technique lie in the two-dimenstional clear representation of intracardiac and intraabdominal structures with the possibility of undertaking quantitative measurements. Furthermore, it is a non-invasive and safe method, which can be repeated as often as necessary and can complete the diagnositic spectrum of radiology, endoscopy and nuclear medicine.

[The use of spinal anaesthesia for cesarean section (author's transl)].

In analysing our own material of 139 cases of cesarean section a clinical report is given concerning the method of anaesthesia, the maternal haemodynamics during anaesthesia and the Apgar score of the newborn. Primarily hyperbaric spinal anaesthesia was always chosen, only 28.3% of the cases were performed under general anaesthesia because of missing maternal consent or general objection of the obstetrician. The rationale for choosing spinal anaesthesia was the safe prevention of acid aspiration of the mother and in the minimal fetal depression. The only disadvantage of spinal anaesthesia, namely a marked blood pressure fall leading to placental hypoperfusion, can be safely prevented by counteracting the sympathetic blockade by volume therapy in time. The two groups of newborns should no show significant differences in Apgar scores. 10 lively babies in a group of 12 cases of severe haemolytic disease of the newborn (Rh) however, all delivered under spinal anaesthesia, confirm our ideas about spinal anaesthesia being less depressant to the fetus than general anaesthesia. Regional anaesthesia therefore is stated as the method of choice especially for the fetus at risk. Differences in favour of spinal anaesthesia in our series were not statistically relevant in the normal case; studies of neurobehavioral function, however, are not included.
