The cases of Bloom-syndrome as described in the literature (till...) are reviewed and this syndrome is discussed as a defined entity which can be separated from congenital poikilodermias. The prognosis of this autosomal recessive disease is dubious.

The nevoid forms of poikilodermia as described in the literature are reviewed. The cases presented can be classified in better defined entities. The significance of a nevoid form of poikilodermia is doubted.
Esophageal function was investigated by quantitative intraluminal pressure measurements in three patients with Behçet's disease. All three had motility disorders partially resembling those described in diabetics and partially those from patients with scleroderma. These motility disturbances may be secondary to a neurological involvement in Behçet's disease.
The functional condition of seminal vesicles can be judged on the basis of spermatic fructose. In dealing with the causes of fructose deficiency, one must distinguish between androgen-dependent and androgen-refractory deficiencies. The main causes of androgenic-refractory fructose deficiency are specific and unspecific inflammations of the masculine adnexa. The example of spermatocystic tuberculosis demonstrates the importance which must be given to specific inflammation of the masculine adnexa, during fertility-consultation hours.

In 36 patients with mastocytosis pathological changes in liver and spleen were scintigraphically demonstrated. These changes are due to the histologically proven involvement of the reticuloendothelial system. The infiltration of the liver by mast cells was not evident in liver biopsy.

A concise review about the pathogenesis of amyloid is given. The amyloidoses of the skin are classified according to the classification of Missmahl in perireticular and pericollagenous forms. The different forms of amyloidosis of the skin are discussed.
The death of the last patient of the original cases of Rothmund is reported who died in the age of 92 years. The Rothmund-Syndrome is discussed as a clinically discernible entity in the group of congenital poikilodermias. A review of the literature is given.
A case of Goltz-Gorlin-syndrome (congenital ectodermal and mesodermal dysplasia) in a 8 1/2 year old girl with focal dermal aplasia after birth, poikilodermia, anomalies of nails, hair, teeth, eyes and bones is presented.
A case of a verrucous type of Thomson's syndrome in a 12 year old boy is presented. The verrucous type is discussed as a prognostically serious form of Thomson's syndrome, because of tendency to malignant degeneration. A review of the literature is given.
A case of primary tuberculous complex following ritual circumcision is described. Long-lasting ulceration of lymph nodes required tuberculostatic therapy.

Braun-Falco together with Marghescu described 1965 for the first time the clinical picture of bullous congenital poikilodermia. In reviewing 15 cases of the literature and one own case this disease is discussed here as an own nosological entity within the congenital poikilodermias and it is suggested to use the designation "Braun-Falco-Marghescu-Syndrome" according to the first describers.
Cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) levels were determined in 103 samples of human semen and grouped according to the number of spermatozoa in the ejaculate. No correlation was found between cyclic AMP concentrations and the number, motility, and morphology of the spermatozoa or the fructose content, pH, and volume of the ejaculate. Similar findings were obtained with cyclic guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate levels in 24 samples of human semen. Therefore, cyclic nucleotide levels in human semen appear to be derived from sources other than spermatozoal adenylyl or guanylyl cyclase.
