[Internal medicine and dactyloscopic examinations of mothers with malformed children].

A retrospective study concerning anamnestic data as well as an internal and dactyloscopic examination were caried out on 75 woman who were delivered from a deformed child. Apart from the well-known causes of a deformity the chronic arterial hypertension is emphasized as teratogenetic factor. The dactyloscopic examination did not result in an accumulation of stigmata which refer to a genetic condition of the deformities. Differences concerning the distribution of patterns on the finger-tips need further investigations; at present they are not yet to be explained.

[Hepatic coma--causes, recognition, treatment].

The name of the disease coma hepaticum is a collective notion for etiologically, pathologo-anatomically and biochemically different kinds of a failure of the function of the liver. A demarcation of different forms of the liver coma is necessary above all for prognostic and therapeutic reasons: hepatic disintegration coma, coma in hepatic failure, mixed coma, false hepatic coma, ferment block coma. Despite certain progress the therapeutic possibilities in hepatic coma cannot satisfy in recent years. Also the use of different, partly very expensive methods of the so-called liver substitute (exchange function and plasmapheresis, heterologous and homologous extracorporal liver perfusion, parasymbiotic crossed circulation, haemoperfusion with encapsulated activated charcoal, liver transplantation) up to now did not lead to a decisive improvement of the nearly infaust prognosis of the hepatic disintegration coma. Therefore preventing measures and careful control of endangered patients deserve particular attention.

[Discriminatory function of serum proteins in liver and biliary tract diseases].

In 104 patients with acute virus hepatitis, chronic hepatitides, cirrhoses, fatty livers and biliary diseases with partial and complete obstructive jaundice, respectively, IgG, IgA, IgD, beta1A- and beta1E-globulin, cholinesterase, total protein, and albumin, in 45 of these patients additionally prealbumin, retinol binding protein, thymol turbidity test were determined as well as an electrophoretic separation of the serum was performed. 11 persons with healthy liver served as control group. According to the results of univariate and multivariate variance analyses with following test of redundance (test for indispensability) and analysis of discriminance with calculations of reclassification IgD, beta1E-globulin and retinol binding protein were identified as not evident or redundant. Electrophoresis and thymol turbidity test give sufficient basis informations and can further be recommended for orienting examinations. Immune globulinogrammes from IgB, IgA and IgM are suitable as so-called mesenchyma tests particularly for controls of the course. Prealbumin and cholinesterase prove to be the most sensitive parameter of synthesis, whereas albumin and beta1A-globulin possess a high prognostic evidence.

Acute Disease↗

[Cellular immunoreaction in alcohol-induced liver damage].

Of 231 patients with alcohol-induced liver diseases of different degrees of severity 170 patients had a pathological result of the migration inhibition test, when autologous homogenate of the liver was used as antigen. Of them in 25 cases a stimulation, in the other patients an inhibition of the migration of leucocytes was present. With increasing degree of severity of the liver lesion the number of cases with migration inhibition increased. These findings refer to a cellular immune reactivity in alcohol induced liver diseases.

[Significance of dermatoglyphics and palmar furrows for genetic and clinical problem formation in gynecology and obstetrics].

After having described the bases of dactyloscopy, the authors report on the clinical importance of this method in gynecology and obstetrics. Own results about Turner's syndrome and first experiences of the dactyloscopic examination of mothers of malformed infants are discussed. The patients with XO Turner's syndrome in our series have a ridge count of 181, comparable to the value of 178, 6 observed by Penrose. Mothers of infants with congenital malformations have no different dactyloscopic features in comparison with the controls.
