[Bronchial carcinoma from the surgical viewpoint].

The paper presents the problems of bronchogenic carcinoma and the results of surgical treatment on the basis of 10 000 patients suffering from lung cancer. 20% of all resected cases and 40% of all cases resected during the early stage lived beyond the 5-year survival limit, and during the earliest stage surgical cure can be achieved in 60% to 80% of the patients. Small cell carcinoma is just as operable as all other forms of bronchogenic carcinoma, if in addition chemotherapy and radiotherapy are administered. From the oncological point of view clip or segmental resection are not equivalent to standard lobectomy and must, therefore, remain reserved for functional risk cases. On the basis of cancer biology and in view of the frequently occurring concealed (micro)-metastases we demand adjuvant therapy after every tumor resection; this treatment will consist in immunotherapy during the early stages and in chemo- and radiotherapy during late stages.

[Surgery of bronchus carcinoma (author's transl)].

The results of surgery for bronchial carcinoma can be improved by further stressing of early diagnosis, by operative methods adapted to oncological needs and assessment of techniques which increase operability as well as by adequate and general additional therapy. Based on our material of 8,423 patients of which 2,773 (i.e. 23%) have been operated the results of the operation in relation to type of operation, histology, Feinstein's classification, TNM stages and other are demonstrated.

A critical review of experimental data for the half-lives of the uranium isotopes 238U and 235U.

The existing experimental data for the half-lives of the uranium isotopes 238U and 235U have been scrutinised in detail because of their significant practical importance, in particular for geochronogical use and for the assay of standard samples used for neutron fluence and cross-section measurements. The most accurate measurements by Jaffey et al. (Phys. Rev. C 4 (5) 1889) with 1sigma uncertainties of 0.054% (238U) and 0.068% (235U), are not confirmed by other measurements of comparable accuracy. In this work, we take a critical look at the 238U and 235U half-life measurements in the literature. Although we find that the Jaffey et al. data are concordant with other reliable results, generally much higher uncertainties of the latter cannot prove or disprove the Jaffey et al. results. Therefore, at this time, we do not recommend new half-life values. Instead, we call for new measurements of these two half-lives with accuracies comparable to the work of Jaffey et al.
