A calculation of the costs for nursing a patient with apallic syndrome in a hospital for chronically ill patients totalled 624.26 DM per day. The calculation was based upon the documented expenditure of material and therapeutic personal and the basic costs of the hospital. The patient was chosen as an example for patients needing constant and expensive care.
The different personal status of patients at home and in the geriatric hospital are presented, especially that of the very old, including those over 100 years. The duration of stay in the hospital is affected by the family situation. Family conflicts and familial overprotection influenced the cave facilities. Gender-based considerations are discussed.
Description of 4 dwarfs (3 women, 1 man) in a geriatric hospital with reference to problems of people with growth retardation when they become old. The medical history of the patients whose symptomology included rickets and tuberculosis is viewed in terms of the implications of these diseases in a large city at the turn of the century. In other cases the cause of growth retardation was hypothyreosis and chondrodystrophia. The importance of the patient's medical history in the research of life events is shown.

The report is based on a written questionnaire sent to the members of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gerontologie. The rate of return amounted on average to 45% with all four Sections of the Association well represented. 40% of those who answered claim to be active in the scientific field only, 47% work as scientists and practitioners at the same time, and another 9% dedicate their work to practice only. The span of professions as well as branches of science and their specialities is very broad. It may thus be assumed that member composition is a guarantee for multidisciplinarity. 62% of the members who answered claim to have good career prospects in the profession they represent and in their branch of occupation, i.e. in gerontology/geriatrics or in practical fields of work dedicated to applying such knowledge. Nevertheless, one fifth of the members of this professional association see no professional perspectives in the fields named, although their membership in the Association points to a vested interest. One fifth of the members, not identical with the group referred to above, state that they see no chances of employment in gerontology/geriatrics or their fields of application in the long run, or they refrain from presenting a judgment on the grounds of prevailing uncertainty. Critical comments made concern the situation of gerontology/geriatrics in the Federal Republic of Germany. This branch of science is seen as receiving too little recognition and the degree of institutionalisation reached is judged to be rather unsatisfactory.
