Long-term implantation of a system of electrical stimulation of paralyzed laryngeal muscles in dogs.

Electrical stimulation of the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle, synchronized with inspiration, was achieved in dogs utilizing a radio frequency stimulus triggered by a chest wall expansion transducer. This system brings about abduction of the paralyzed vocal cord for the entire duration of inspiration, which allows a normal flow of air through the larynx. The implantable part of that system was tested successfully in chronic experiments (up to 11 months) in dogs with experimental paralysis of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. We feel that the system may be suitable for pacing the paralyzed human larynx.

[Cryptococcosis of the CNS].

The findings and opinions which are of greater importance for clinical practice with respect to the etiopathogenesis, epidemiology, symptomatology, diagnostics and therapy of cryptococcosis of the central nervous system are discussed with special consideration of the cerebrospinal fluid findings and in evaluation of two cases treated by the authors. Crytococcosis of the CNS produces no clinical pictures that are only typical of it. Favourable curing changes, however, only exist if a specific therapy is initiated systematically and at an early time, for which the application of a combination of amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosin is considered as the therapy of first choice today. Hints are given that should make an inclusion of cryptococcosis in the differential-diagnostic consideration possible.
