[Cholestasis and liver cell necrosis resulting from acute pulmonary embolism (author's transl)].

124 autopsy cases with acute pulmonary embolism were investigated. Severe or moderate necrosis of parenchymal cells were found in 24%, and disseminating microfocal necrosis furthermore in 32%. An unsignificant or mild cholestasis was observed in 44%. The cause of necrotic liver damage is a complex circulatory disturbance, formed by acinar liver structure. A correlation between degree of thromboembolism and liver necrosis or cholestasis does not exist.

[Appendectomy in parallel with gynaecological laparotomy (author's transl)].

An account is given in this paper of 102 cases of appendectomy in parellel with 193 gynaecological laparotomies (52.9 per cent), with reference being made to the small amount of associated complication, as borne out by literature data on larger groups of patients. Particular reference is made, in that context, to legal and clinical prerequisites and to counter-indictions. The authors' own pathohistological findings differed from figures around 90 per cent, as reported elsewhere, in that more or less conspicuous tissue peculiarities were recorded from only 37.5 per cent of all simultaneously removed appendices. That discrepancy in evaluation is discussed. With the relative increase in incidence and complication of senile appendicitis in mind, appendectomy in parallel with gynaecological laparotomy is recommended as a genuine prophylaxis, yet, with due consideration of all necessary conditions.

[Morphological studies on the problem of cholestasis due to cardiac insufficiency and its relationship to parenchymal necroses of the liver].

For the differentiation of the disturbances of the uric acid metabolism the determination of the uric acid clearance is a valuable help. A normal clearance (greater than or equal to 0.116 ml/s, 7 ml/min) in hyperuricaemia speaks for an overproduction of uric acid (type I), a decreased clearance (less than or equal to 0.100 ml/min) speaks for a disturbance of the renal excretion (type II). By additional parameters which are simply to be got further subtypes (Ia, Ib, IIa, IIb, III) can be delimited. All examinations can be performed under ambulatory conditions. On the basis of this division the antihyperuricaemics may be better used. The application of the drugs according to types favours the decrease of the side-effects of the drugs and additionally shows economic advantages.

[Small myomas of stomach in autopsy cases (author's transl)].

In a series of 800 unselected autopsy cases in 46 patients gastric myomas were founded. These tumors are the most common non-epithelial neoplasms of gastric wall. The average age runs to 77 years. Myomas are mainly localized in the fundus and corpus of the stomach. They originate from the internal layer of the muscularis propria. These myomas grow very slowly, and calcification or sclerosis are frequent. The practical clinical importance is insignificant.

[Recognizing epicardial lipomas].

Three own observations of oscillating miniature lipomas of the epicardium are a cause to doubt the extreme rareness of this form of tumours. Pediculation and vascular proliferations facilitate the morphological delimitation of fat rumps. The possibility of a removal of infarcted lipomas of the epicardium is taken into consideration.

[Prepyloric, cystic adenomatous hamartia in a newborn infant. Contribution to the morphogenesis of gastric duplications (author's transl)].

The so-called adenomyomas of the stomach in the antric region can often be seen. However, cystic alterations including duplications are a rarity. The author reports on a case of a duplication of the stomach in connection with a so-called adenomyoma of the pyloric channel. On the basis of a case report he describes morphogenesis, clinical aspects, complications and therapy with due consideration of the literature.

[Occult miniature lipomas of duodenum (author's transl)].

By intensive investigation relatively often small lipomas in the duodenum can be found at post mortem examination. They are harmless and develop in the submucosa and grow in a polypous form into the lumen. Lipomas seem to be the most frequent among the benign mesenchymal tumours.

[Endobronchial lipoma].

It is reported on a rare endobronchial lipoma, which was falsely interpreted and the radiological course of which was more than 15 years. It is referred to the discrepancy between morphological benignity of the lipoma and the dangerous changes of the lungs when the disease is delayed.
