[Accuracy of lymphography in carcinoma of the cervix (author's transl)].

A review has been made of lymphographic diagnoses recorded from patients with cervical carcinoma over more than five years. The diagnosis by lymphography of nodes metastases had to be altered in some 25 per cent, and correction proved necessary also in cases in which lymphography had failed to yield conclusive information. - In the group with lymphographically secured cancer lymph nodes coincided with histological results in 70 per cent of all primary and 90 per cent of secondary checks. Comparable gaps were recorded also from the group with lymphographically inconclusive information on lymph node cancer. - The following conclusions are drawn from the study described: (a) The accuracy of lymphographic diagnosis depends on the experiences of the examiner and changes within time and this must be considered in the evaluation of therapeutic success or failure. - (b) Conclusive findings in the context of lymph node problems are obtainable from selective use of lymphography.

[Fatal accidents with compressed air diving equipment (author's transl)].

The post-mortem findings of 4 sport divers involved in accidents showed air embolism of the heart as well as 2 subcutaneous emphysemas of shoulder and neck. The lungs were distended and the viscera were hyperaemic. The pleura showed petechiae and small patchy hemorrhages. In microscopic examination foci of alveolar hemorrhages of the lungs and, occasionally, muscosal rupture of small branches of the bronchial tree and of the bronchioli could be determined. The most likely causes for the accidents are discussed and special attention is given to panicking under water.
