[Clinical investigations relating to a causal connection between abruptio placentae and subsequent birth of an underweight child (author's transl)].

The question was studied as to whether there is a causal connection between abruptio and birth of an underweight child in the subsequent pregnancy. While the phenomena involved are still largely unexplained, though clearly manifold, which can lead to the birth of "low birth weight children", it is shown that abruptio cannot be regarded as a prime risk factor. A comparison with the international literature shows that the specific features of the patient group investigated must always be taken into account when answering this question.

[Infection hazards and complications following the use of IUDs].

Own experiences on IUD-complications especially irregular bleedings and infections underline that modern plastic intrauterine devices are second-rate contraceptives. Compared to hormonal contraceptive drugs intrauterine devices have a higher pregnancy risk and increased rates of infections. Therefore the IUD is in our opinion not suited primary contraceptive method used without indication. Because of the relatively often occurring ascendant genital infections the application of intrauterine devices should not be carried out in nulliparae.

[Comparison of 2 isotope-nephrography-evaluation methods in normal pregnancy].

The isotope nephrograms of a total of 31 renally healthy pregnant women of different thirds of pregnancy are semiquantitatively investigated by 2 methods. The results are demonstrated graphically. This comparison show that a more correct result can be made with the describing method by taking a greater number of parameters describing the excretory phase.

[Clinical studies on the effect of long term progestagen administration on the elimination of noramidopyrine methanesulfonate (Analgin)].

Pharmacokinetic investigations with the drug noramidopyrinmethansulfonatnatrium (Analgin) were performed in 8 patients who, for a longer period, had taken the progestagene derivative norethisterone acetate. The half life of elimination as expression of biotransformation is clearly increased after intake of norethisterone acetate. As Analgin undergoes an oxydative mechanism of disintegration, possible explanations for this prolongation of the half life of elimination are discussed in the light of relevant literature.

[Aspergillus serum precipitins in patients of a lung clinic].

The incidence and distribution of aspergillosis among patients of a lung clinic in West Berlin were recorded. The immunodiffusion test (IDT) was used on sera of 228 patients seen during one day to test for precipitins against A. fumigatus, A. flavus, and A. niger. Precipitating antibodies specific against A. fumigatus were found in five patients, in two of them A. fumigatus was isolated simultaneously from sputum. In order to obtain a clear view of the clinical occurrence of asperigillosis and its course one requires not only serological tests but also the isolation of Aspergillus in culture from sputum or bronchial secretion. IDT is useful for detecting aspergillosis and for screening persons harbouring Aspergillus in their respiratory tract.

[A comparison of isotope nephrographic examinations during pregnancy and hormonal contraception (author's transl)].

Renal function was investigated by isotope nephrography in 31 pregnant women with normal kidneys during various phases of pregnancy, and in 137 women on continuous contraceptive steroids (up to eight years). The semi-quantitative parameters of zum Winkel were used. It was found that the use of oral contraceptives did not lead to any change in renal function, whereas with advancing pregnancy there was distinct excretion delay on the isotope nephrogram. The results are discussed in the light of the relevant literature. Isotope nephrography appears to be a satisfactory screening test for evaluation of renal function on each side.

[Urographic investigations on the effect of high dose progestagen therapy (author's transl)].

The relationship between high dose progestagen treatment and changes on the intravenous urogram were studied in 27 patients. For this purpose, six specific features in the urogram were examined. Our findings in the patients available to use indicate that there is no demonstrable dilatation of the renal pelves and ureters as a result of the administration of progestational substances alone. These results are discussed in relation to the relevant literature.

[Clinical and x-ray studies on the relationship between interruption of pregnancy and premature labor].

On the basis of the number of premature babies of 1975 the possible interdependence is checked between interruptio of pregnancy and subsequent premature birth and is compared with the dates obtained in 1974. Besides the hysterograms of women with premature birth whose anamnesis indicates an interruptio of pregnancy, are examined with regard to lesions of the cervix demonstrable in roentgenograms. As in the years of 1974 and 1975 the number of premature birth has been approximatively constant we conclude, basing ourselves on the investigations of roentgenograms, that no causal relation may be established between interruptio of pregnancy and premature birth in our material.

[Semiquantitative evaluation of isotope nephrograms in long-term continuous intake of contraceptive steroids].

The renal function of a total of 137 women without renal diseases taking contraceptive steroids continuously but for different periods of time (up to a maximum of 8 years) was investigated by isotope nephrography. Checking is done by using the semiquantitative evaluation prameters according to Zum Winkel. The results show that the application of hormonal contraceptives does not induce significant changes of renal function in the isotope nephrogram.
