Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea was observed in a 12-year old girl with achondroplasia and communicating hydrocephalus. The leakage ceased and did not recur after treatment by ventriculo-atrial shunting (Holter valve) without plugging the fistula. The pathogenetic factors in this case are discussed.
The histogenesis of carcinosarcomas of the uterus is not clear yet. The different histologic structures of a collisions-tumor which is characterized by a secondary intermingling of sarcomatous and carcinomatous elements are described, and their etiolgy and pathogenesis are discussed.

Plasma concentrations of glucose, insulin, glucagon, cortisol, growth hormone and prolactin were measured repeatedly in ten females undergoing abdominal hysterectomy during general anaesthesia. In addition to general anaesthesia five of the patients had continuous epidural analgesia effective for the first 26 postoperative hours. Plasma glucose was elevated during surgery and postoperatively, but not in patients having epidural analgesia. Insulin was low and unchanged in both groups. Glucagon was unchanged and similar in both groups. Cortisol was lower during surgery in the epidural group, but not postoperatively. Growth hormone increased during surgery in four of five patients receiving general anaesthesia alone, but no changes were observed in the epidural group. Prolactin was greatly elevated in all patients immediately after induction of anaesthesia and then fell rapidly during surgery, similarly in both groups. It is concluded that epidural analgesia can inhibit the hyperglycaemic response to surgical stress, but this effect cannot be uniformly correlated to changes in peripheral plasma levels of insulin, glucagon, cortisol, growth hormone or prolactin.
Platelet functions during late pregnancy with praeeclampsia, birth and childbed were observed. There are found variations in opposition to normal pregnancy. Increase of platelet aggregation was clearest. In this observations is not conclud from increase risk developing a thromboembolic disease during toxemic pregnancy, birth and childbed. The variations of platelet functions are parts of complex appearence.
The number of platelets, spreading and aggregation of platelets in plasma of 102 women treated with Ovosiston, an anticonceptive agent, were investigated. A significant increase of the number of platelets, spreading and aggregation of platelets was observed. Conclusions from isolated observations are not possible.
Platelet adhesiviness and thrombelastographic investigations in plasma by 102 women treated with Ovosiston, an anticonceptive agent were observed. A significant increase of adhesiveness and thrombelastographic variations was found. In conclusion showed abnormalities of platelet functions and thrombelastographic values point to influences by oral contraceptive agent Ovosiston. In combination with other favouring factors the risk of thromboembolism must be enhanced.

After description of 4 cases of mesenchymal malignant tumors in childhood diagnostic and therapeutic aspects are discussed. The late diagnosis is an essential problem. Surgical treatment is difficult and therefore a speciality of gynecology.
Platelet functions during late pregnancy and puerperium were observed. It was found pregnancy variations of the number of platelets, platelet spreading, -aggregation, adhesiveness and thrombelastographic investigations. In this observations is not conclude from increase risk developing a thromboembolic disease during pregnancy and puerperium.
The control of plasma levels fibrinstabilizing factor (factor XII) by women with abruptio placentae early resulted evident values under mean values. The cause of factor deficiency is still unclear. Supposed connections must still cleared up.
The hidradenoma of vulva is a rare tumor. After description histogenesis and microscopic appearance demonstrated histological difficulties. An exact microscopic diagnois is necessary because the hidradenoma is a benign tumor.
