[Quantitative image analysis in pulmonary pathology - digitalization of preneoplastic lesions in human bronchial epithelium (author's transl)].

The report concerns the first phase of a quantitative study of normal and abnormal bronchial epithelium with the objective of establishing the digitalization of histologic patterns. Preparative methods, data collecting and handling, and further mathematical analysis are described. In cluster and discriminatory analysis the digitalized histologic features can be used to separate and classify the individual cases into the respective diagnostic groups.

Structural alterations of the lung in anthracosilicosis--automatic quantitation with an image-analysing computer.

A morphometric method of assessing anthracosilicotic alterations in lung structure was studied in 4 patients. The introduced model and a special technique for preparation permit the evaluation of anthracosilicotic dust deposits, secondary emphysema, and intact residual parenchyma by means of an image-analysing computer. This method appears particularly suitable for investigating and correlating morphology to clinical data, because the parameter 'intact residual parenchyma' can be reproduced in a short time with sufficient accuracy by random samples.

Phantom limbs and related phenomena in recent traumatic amputations.

Seventy-three soldiers who had traumatic amputations were examined from 1 to 6 months after limb loss. All experienced phantom limb sensations and 67 percent experienced phantom limb pains, usually transient. Stump pain occurred in 43 percent and was associated with phantom pain in 54 percent of these. Of the 23 percent of the entire group who had evident stump pathology, 33 percent had phantom pains only, 20 percent had stump pains only, 40 percent had both, and 7 percent were pain-free. All stump ends exhibited an area of hyperpathia with hypoesthesia. Phantom pain probably results from peripheral or spinal cord mechanisms, or both, rather then from more rostral mechanisms.

Osteomyelitis caused by mycobacterium fortuitum.

A case of osteomylitis of the foot and ankle bones with subsequent complications is presented. Antibiotic therapy was unsuccessful and a below-knee amputation was performed. A comparison of the various Mycobacteria species and their role as etiologic agents in osteomyelitis follows.
