[The diagnosis of organic brain damage with common psychodiagnostic tests (author's transl)].

WIP, Hopper-VOT, Benton-Test d2-Test, and the KVT were used to examine 124 brain-damaged people with sufficiently secured localized wounds on the brain (48 frontal, 30 temperoral, 29 parietal and 17 occipital lobe damaged patients). The results showed considerable differences depending on the localisation of the injury. The differences between the frontal lobe damaged and the parieto-occipital damaged patients were significant. A normal score in one or more tests does not exclude a frontal lobe damage.

[Symptomatic hernia (author's transl)].

A symptomatic hernia (most inguinal or femoral hernia, seldom epigastric, umbilical or post-operative hernia)--appeared a little while ago--originates from a preexisting, so far unknown or long since known illness. All patients with a hernia--especially those over 40 years old--are to be carefully asked for preexisting illnesses. Barium-enema and rectoscopy are not indicated at each inguinal or femoral hernia as a screening-method to exclude a symptomatic hernia; however, both methods must be employed in suspicious cases. 320 Patients with a histologically verified carcinoma of the rectum and colon had no inguinal or femoral hernia. From 387 patients with an inguinal or femoral hernia 318 patients were over 40 years old; at these patients polyps were found in five cases by rectoscopy, but never by barium-enema, and two carcinoma of the colon transverse appeared by barium-enema. A 23-years old patient with a great intraabdominal malignant tumor must be added to the sum total.

Splenoperitoneal anastomoses after application of collagenase to the splenic capsule of rats.

In 200 Wistar rats the spleen was transposed into a pouch between the muscle layers of the left abdominal wall. Collagenase powder was applied to the spleen surface. After 12 to 24 hours an acute haemorrhagic inflammation was seen. Collaterals developed from the splenic parenchyma to the abdominal wall from the 10th day. They connected the portal venous system with the caval system.

[The diagnosis of hepatic metastases (author's transl)].

The report deals with 404 patients suffering from hepatic metastases. Average age is 62,2 years. The primary tumour was situated in the stomach in 43,8%, followed by extrahepatic bile ducts or the gallbladder, rectum, pancreas and colon. Hepatomegaly is the most frequent symptom. 72,2% of all patients had a positive liver-scan, 78% a pathological bromsulfalein test.

[Peculiarities of acute appendicitis in women].

A complete documentation of the clinical and operative findings and a comparison of these with the histologic diagnosis in nearly 900 appendectomy patients from a period of more than two years is presented. In this publication an account of the specific results of nearly 500 women is given. The influences of age, menstruation, and gynecologic illnesses are reported in detail. Sixty-five percent of all women were treated unnecessarily with appendectomy. However, the indications for this operation should not be limited on these grounds.
