[Isolated Crohn disease attack of the stomach--differential diagnostic and therapeutic problems].

There are about 15-30 patients reported in the literature, who suffered from well established, isolated Crohn's disease of the stomach. Another case is reported here, who had gastrectomy, since a diagnosis of gastric carcinoma had been made before and during surgery. When histological findings are negative, very extensive diagnostic procedures have to be performed in order to exclude this entity and to avoid useless gastric surgery. A clearcut recommendation as to surgery in cases of stenosis of the pyloric region cannot be given; the experience from the case described however would tend to favour treatment by gastrectomy.

[Athanasius Kircher (1602-1690) and the medical-natural science concepts of his time].

The 300th anniversary of Athanasius Kircher's death gives rise to the memory of the work of this researcher. Kircher is grounded in history of medicine above all by his contribution to microscopic anatomy. A new theory of the genesis of infectious diseases goes back to him. Owing to Athanasius Kircher who also in other fields of medicine (audiology) strove for improvements the scientific public took an exacter knowledge of the Chinese medicine and natural science. Contributions in nearly all fields of the applied natural sciences secure Kircher an honorable memory in our time.

[Anniversary 1980 of the history of the Faculty of Medicine Wittenberg (II): education and research during Christian Vater's (1651-1732) and Abraham Vater's (1684-1751) duration of office].

Fixed jubilees from the history of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Wittenberg gave rise to remember the work of some representative persons. We remind of the investigations of the hypophysis carried out by the professor in ordinary Konrad Viktor Schneider (1614-1680) who died 300 years age and of the clinical and theoretically significant achievements of Daniel Sennert (1572-1637). Christian Vater (1651-1732) and Abraham Vater (1684-1751) once more coin a profile of the medical science in the 18th century, whose details in teaching and research were to be illustrated in the present treatise.

[Commemoration days 1980 from the history of the Witenberg Medical School (I): Chemistry in the medical education program of the 17th and 18th centuries].

Actual anniversaries with the 350th return of the birthday of Johann Kunckel and the 300th birthday of Johann Theodor Neukrantz give rise to recall the early history of the Wittenberg Collegium chymicum and to analyse its value in the medical education. At the university of Wittenberg this tutorial which is significant for the progress of medicine and which has been quickly acknowledged as highly important by other universities has been neglected by the state in most cases. But the more remarkable are the individual achievements of a number of specialists engaged in chemistry, whose practices in teaching and research are described in this paper.

[Incidence of extracranial cerebrovascular disease in patients with coronary artery disease (author's transl)].

The prevalence of hemodynamically significant disease of the extracranial cerebral arteries was studied in 188 consecutive patients with angiographically proven coronary artery disease (CAD) by means of the Doppler ultrasound method. 24 (= 12.8%) patients had a significantly reduced perfusion of the common or internal carotid artery, proximal subclavian artery with subclavian steal, or vertebral artery. 2 patients showed a simultaneous involvement of two neck arteries, 3 patients of three neck arteries. The incidence of significant flow impairment of the neck arteries rose with increasing coronary artery involvement: 5.4% in 1-vessel CAD, 12.3% in 2-vessel CAD, 16.3% in 3-vessel CAD. Due to a considerable number of false negative and false positive findings, auscultation proved to be unreliable in the detection of hemodynamically relevant flow disturbances of the extracranial cerebral arteries. It is suggested that at least all candidates for aortocoronary bypass surgery should undergo ultrasound Doppler sonography of the neck arteries.

[Early history of cardiological diagnostics].

The history of modern cardiology begins with William Harvey, the history of cardiodiagnostics, however, with William Heberden and the inaugurators of percussion and auscultation. Nearly all methods needed a long initial period, before they stood the test as routine measures. The revision of positive judgments of their value became necessary whereever new methods entered into competition with techniques which proved their value for long years and which apparently could not be renounced. Up to now schemes of thinking remained characteristic for the heart, the historical basis of which was shown in the present paper.

[The first graduate woman physicians. On the 225th anniversary of the graduation from Halle of Dorothea Christian Erxleben (1715--1762)].

Recently the question of the first practising and graduated at a university lady-physicians has repeatedly been put and has differently been answered in world literature. In these cases English author referred to Elizabeth Blackwell graduated in Geneva in 1849, who as the first woman received the title of M. D. Including the continental Europe at least three lady-physicians rank before Elizabeth Backwell: Dorothea Christiane Erxleben, Regina Josepha Henning-von Siebold and Charlotte Heiland-von Siebold. Recently the 225th day of promotion and examination of Dorothea Christiane Erxleben, the first German lady-physician graduated in Halle in 1754, came round. This was the occasion to describe the stage of the development of this lady-physician on the basis of the remaining documents.

[Basic medical study in the early 18th century. On the 300th anniversary of the birthday of Georg Daniel Coschwitz (1679-1729)].

The 300th anniversary of Georg Daniel Coschwitz's birthday gives rise to remember his engagement in the service of the Medical Faculty of Halle University. Under his personal initiative with the construction of an anatomical theatre an important institutional gap of the educational programme in Halle is closed. The basic study of medicine of the early 18th century is described with the help of the example of Halle university. In this phase the educational practices are vastly determined by individual activities which form the basis for later regulations by the state.

[Johann Reinhold Forster (1729-1798) and Johann Georg Forster (1754-1794) in Halle. On the 250th anniversary of Johann Reinhold Forster's birthday].

The 250th anniversary of the birthday of Johann Reinhold Forster as well as the 225th anniversary of Johann Georg Forster gave rise to the memory of the life-work of these two famous scientists, whose life-work is in various forms connected with the University of Halle. The most important stages of these connections which include also the medicine of their epoch are demonstrated with the help of preserved documents.
