[Pregnancies following tubal diagnostic procedures].

During the years 1976 to 1980, 178 laparoscopies with hydropertubations and 113 hysterosalpingographies as well as 24 combined tests were carried out at the University Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology Graz. Of these, 263 cases could be evaluated. On the basis of the diagnosis made by above mentioned examinations, a pregnancy was practically impossible for 102 women. Of the remaining 161 cases, 38 (23,6%) conceived within the first six cycles subsequent to "invasive diagnosis". It is assumed that these patient's pregnancies can be attributed directly to the diagnostic measures. It is presumed that the reason for this therapeutic effect lies in the removal of a mechanical or psychic disturbance.

[Sterility in hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea].

Infertility caused by hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea may be complicated by pituitary adenoma. In a group of 36 women with amenorrhoea-hyperprolactinemia-syndrome were 15 infertility-patients. 10 of them had prolactin levels above 100 ng/ml. In 6 patients a prolactinoma was removed microsurgically. In every case further treatment was necessary to get normal cycles. 8 of these 10 infertility-patients became pregnant.

[Androgenetic amenorrhea].

Virilism in females is often associated with menstrual disorders. There is an evident correlation between the severity of virilism, the level of androgens and the degree of menstrual disorder. A study was carried out between January 1978 and December 1980 on 75 women with various degrees of virilism. The majority of women with severe hirsutism and male-type alopecia were found in the group with amenorrhoea. Furthermore, the four cases with the full-blown picture of severe virilism were found exclusively in this group. Clarification of the virilizing manifestations on the basis of a determination of the basic hormonal status (including the steroid fractions), the dexamethasone suppression test (including the HCG stimulation test) and the oestrogen-gestagen suppression test, diagnostic laparoscopy and phlebography of the adrenal gland is discussed and the methods evaluated.

[Possibilities and limits of the quantitative demonstration of protein thiols with the DDD-reagent in cells of cervical epithelium (author's transl)].

From six patients, all with invasive carcinoma of the cervix uteri, two groups fo smear preparations, each consisting of eight samples, were taken: The first, group A, before and the second, group B, after mechanical removal of the discharge which was present in abundant quantities. All samples were treated for 24 h with DDD to reach the fast-reaching SH-groups, coupled with Fast Blue B and measured cytophotometrically at 560 nm. Without any exception, the neoplastic cells of group A showed significantly lower extinction values both of the nucleus and of the total cell, if compared to group B. The mean extinction difference amounts to 55% and is highly significant and some evidence is given that the viability of the cells plays an important role. For this reason, the quantitative evaluation of the DDD Fast Blue B does not seem to be useful for cytologic routine investigations.
