[Our gynecologic heritage. The activities of scientific gynecologic societies in Northeast Germany after the World War II].

During the Second World War and especially since 1943 the activities of medical societies decreased more and more. The first gynecological meeting in the of Soviets occupied part of Germany happened October 5th till 6th 1946 in Jena. The Chairman was Gustav Döderlein. In May 1947 the Soviet Military Administration commanded the order Nr. 124 about foundation of medical societies. The Society of Gynecology at the University of Rostock was founded November 1947. In year 1948 was the unification with the Gynecological Society of Greifswald. The unified society organized till 1989 more than 40 meetings in the Northern towns of East Germany. 1991 the unification with the Northwestern Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics took place. The Society has now the name "North-German Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology".

[Treatment of acute salpingitis with tetracycline/metronidazole with or without additional balneotherapy, Augmentin or ciprofloxacin/metronidazole: a second-look laparoscopy study].

110 patients suffering from laparoscopical verified salpingitis and desire for a baby, were treated with tetracycline (oxytetracycline or doxycycline; TC)/metronidazole (n = 67), augmentan (n = 22) or cipropfloxacin/metronidazole (n = 21). After an average period of 11.6 weeks, all patients underwent second-look laparoscopy with dye insufflation. In 34 patients treated with TC/metronidazole, the effects of additional physio-therapeutical measures were examined under conditions as they prevail in a Spa. 33 patients without balneotherapy served as controls. All the 4 groups were comparable (p greater than 0.05) in respect of mean age, percentage, share of nulliparous women, salpingitis gonorrhoica, contraceptive behaviour and also of the stage of salpingitis. All antibiotic regimens used resulted in a prompt decrease of inflammatory clinical signs after five days (temperature, blood sedimentation rate, leukocytes). Only 2 of 34 patients treated by additional cure at a Spa reported complaints, whereas complaints were reported by 14 of 33 control patients (p less than 0.01), 7 of 22 (p less than 0.01) treated with augmentan and to 7 of 21 (p less than 0.01) treated with ciprofloxacin/metronidazole. The tubal occlusion rates amounted to 33.3% (TC/metronidazole), 32.3% (TC/metronidazole and balneotherapy), 22.7% (augmentan) and 23.8% ciprofloxacin/metronidazole. The differences did not attain statistical significance (p greater than 0.05). With regard to adhesions, there were, likewise, no significant differences between findings at first laparoscopy and second look-laparoscopy, respectively. It is concluded, that additional physiotherapeutic measures, after antibiotic therapy of acute salpingitis, reduce the frequency of lower abdominal pain, but do not result in an improvement of tubal occlusion and reduction of adhesions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

[The menopause--a sociopsychological interpretation].

The psychological situation of climacteric women is determined by social economic and cultural changes. The educational backgrounds and family life are factors to a high degree of life stress, too. Psychosocial analysis and more informations about the conflicts in this time are preconditions for a successful treatment of menopausal complaints before hormone replacement in the gynecological praxis.

[Aspiration cytology--endometrium diagnosis of peri- and postmenopausal bleeding disorders].

The aspiration of endometrial cell samples for cytological analysis in comparison to histological diagnosis with a following conventional curettage was evaluated in a symptomatic group of 100 women. The age ranged between 45 to 72 years. In 87% of the detected cytological and histological findings were comparable. In 2% the results were false negative. There was determined a specificity of 88.7% and a sensitivity of 88.2%. The usage as screening method in asymptomatic group of women may be a future interest of the endometrial cytology.
