[Leukergy in multiple sclerosis before and after treatment with sodium salicylate and dexamethasone (preliminary report)].

The authors determined the leukergic reaction in the blood of multiple sclerosis patients treated with dexamethasone and sodium salicylate. The investigations were done in two groups of 25 patients each. Dexamethasone was used in a daily dose of 4 mg, and sodium salicylate in a dose of 2.0 g. A significant effect of dexamethasone on reduction of the leukergic forms of leucocyte in the peripheral blood of these patients was observed. There was no significant effect of sodium salicylate on leukergy.

[Pneumoencephalographic appearance of cerebral ventricles in spontaneous tremor].

Three patients of different ages with evidence of essential tremor of familial origin are reported. Pneumoencephalography demonstrated in these cases presence of hydrocephalus. The size of the cerebral ventricles was assessed by means of the index of Schiermann and Evans. No correlation was observed between the degree of changes in the ventricular system and the duration of the disease. Abnormalities moencephalograms concerned only the Evans index.

[Serum neuraminic acid level in patients with cerebrovascular disorders].

The authors determined the level of neuraminic acid in the serum of 50 patients with encephalomalacia and 25 patients with cerebral haemorrhages on the 1st, 3d and 7th days of the disease. Twenty healthy subjects served as controls. A statistically significant rise in the concentration of this substance was observed in both groups of patients throughout the whole period of observations.
