[Psychotherapy of irritable colon].

16 patients with an irritable colon were examined psychologically and independent of the result of the diagnostics of neuroses additionally distributed to two groups of treatment. One group was treated symptomatically, the other additionally psychotherapeutically (above all with autogenous training). Two thirds of the patients showed a neurosis. Psychotherapy was very useful only in those patients with a neurosis, measured as the result of the treatment one year after the beginning of the therapy. When an obstinate irritable colon is present, a diagnostics of neuroses is indicated. If a neurosis is proved, an individual psychotherapy is indicated, in which case the autogenous training as basis therapy apparently stood the test.

Detectability of the acoustically evoked composite response (40 HZ potential) near threshold.

In 56 persons with normal hearing and 10 patients with sensorineural hearing loss, acoustically evoked potentials were recorded at stimulus repetition rates of 10/s, 20/s, 30/s and 40/s. With a sufficiently low lower amplifier cut-off frequency, one obtains at the repetition rate of 40/s a composite response described by Galambos et al. (1981) as 40 Hz potential, which consists of the ABR evoked by the given stimulus and superposed MLR-waves evoked by the preceding stimuli. In both groups the amplitude mean value of the potentials recorded at the stimulus rate 40/s was significantly higher than at lower rates. The detectability of the near-threshold response for the subjects with normal hearing was distinctly higher than the responses recorded at lower rates.

[Incidence of malignant lymphoma and leukemias in East Germany].

On the basis of the data of the National Cancer Registry of the GDR from 1964 to 1977 the incidence of malignant neoplasms of the lymphatic and haematopoietic tissues are investigated. A slight increase from period A (1964-1966) to period B (1968-1972) and a general increase of the number of diseases at oldest age from 1964 to 1977 refers to an improved quality of the diagnostics and registration. In the leukaemias in childhood and adolescence shifts from the myeloic to the lymphatic leukaemia are found which are attributed to the exacter classification. Altogether there are no references to an increased risk of falling ill with malignant lymphomas and leukaemias in the period of the report.

[The incidence of malignant neoplasms of the female genital organs in East Germany].

An analysis of age-specific and age-adjusted incidence of malignant neoplasms of female genital organs in the German Democratic Republic between 1964 and 1977 shows: Due to screening activities, incidence of cervical cancer has decreased. The risk of endometrial cancer slowly increases. Incidence of ovarian cancer remains constant. The quality of gynaecologic oncologic care has improved.
