A new inexpensive specimen carrier for freeze-fracturing.

This paper describes the production and use of a new specimen carrier for the Balzers freeze-fracturing unit. The carriers are inexpensive, easily produced and have excellent mechanical and thermal properties. The rectangular form of the carriers provides easy handling and unequivocal orientation of anisotropic specimens.

Familial occurrence of syngnathia congenita syndrome.

A case of familial occurrence of syngnathia congenita in mother and child is described; this syndrome has been seen only sporadically until now. Due to the distinct appearance of the intraoral chords--they were situated on both sides between the ridges of the jaw and also between the left half of the bifid uvula and the retrolingual region--a relationship to the autosomal-dominantly transmitted Cleft Palate Lateral Synechiae Syndrome (CPLS-Syndrome) is suspected. Complete penetrance with different expressivity may explain the different clinical manifestations of the cases seen up to now and the absence of bifid uvula in the mother of our patient. The probable pathogenesis during embryological development is discussed.

[Apicoectomy].

Apicectomy is a supplement to conservative therapy in those cases in which the latter fails to achieve bacteria-proof obturation. Indications for it are presented. The technique of the procedure, which has widely been standardized in the last years, is appreciated in detail. Hints at the evaluation of the results of treatment are given.

The operative treatment of elbow dislocation in the adult.

Operative treatment of traumatic dislocation of the elbow joint is indicated when there is proved gross instability or osteochondral fractures and loose bodies, or both. We performed a capsule-ligament repair in twenty-eight patients, and no cast was applied postoperatively. Satisfactory results were achieved with an average follow-up of two and one-half months. In all patients postoperative assisted range-of-motion exercise was begun after the operative wound and healed. The functional outcome depended on the osseous lesions involving the articular surface and on the time interval between the accident and the operation.

[Generalized periarthritis calcarea (generalized hydroxyapatite disease)].

The condition of generalized periarthritis calcarea (hydroxyapatite deposition disease) is characterised by multiple periarticular calcification which can be localised around practically any joint and also in proximity to the spine. This calcification consists of hydroxyapatite crystals which are responsible for the episodes of acute, subacute or chronic periarticular or articular inflammation so typical of the condition. Because of this one can classify periarthritis calcarea along with gout and chondrocalcinosis in the group of crystal deposition diseases. The actual cause of the calcification remains unknown but it is probable that, along with hereditary factors, disturbances in metabolism play an important role. The diagnosis of generalised periarthritis is made from the characteristic X-ray picture in conjunction with the clinical findings and, on occasion, the demonstration of hydroxyapatite crystals in the affected tissues. In the differential diagnosis gout, chondrocalcinosis, various inflammatory rheumatic conditions and septic arthritis must be excluded and various calcification processes, particularly interstitial calcinosis and lipocal cinogranulomatosis, must also be considered. Since the etiology of the calcification remains unknown to specific treatment is available. Symptomatic treatment with colchicine is mostly inadequate which is why one often has recourse to the use of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroids.

[Polycystic disease of early infancy in two sisters (author's transl)].

Polycystic disease of early infancy is a heritable disorder diffusely involving both kidneys with no other evidence of renal parenchymal malformation. After discussing the typical histological data of two sisters with normal family history a short survey about classification and differential diagnosis of similar heritable renal cysts is given. With regard to the few other cases with familiar occurrence an autosomal recessive transmission is the most likely form of inheritance, delayed manifestation has not been observed until now.

[Frequency of Kongenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (author's transl)].

The frequency of homozygous congenital adrenal hyperplasia in Tyrol is found to be 1 : 8991, the gene-frequency for congenital adrenal hyperplasia 1 : 95 and the frequency of heterozygous congenital adrenal hyperplasia 1 : 48. Our data is compared on a numerical and statistical base with that in Zürich and Munich with regard to the frequency of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, to its distribution with and without salt loss and to its sex-distribution. According to our study one may assume a frequency of homozygous congenital adrenal hyperplasia in Tyrol, Zürich and Munich of 1 : 7000--10,000.
