[Results of ambulant treatment of vertebral syndromes (author's transl)].

Summary of a Dissertation worked out in a General Medical Practice: 255 patients with vertebral conditions were investigated in a medium-sized general practice on the edge of an industrial town. The treatment and therapeutic results were observed over 2 years. The complaints included pains in the head and neck, shoulder-arm syndrome, back and low back pains including sciatica and sensitivity disorders. The therapeutic results revealed that the general medical practice is in a position to treat vertebral conditions satisfactorily with a minimum of expenditure if the treatment is multicentric and individually designed after a previous exact diagnosis and carried out over the long term if necessary.

Tension decline during isometric contractions without visual cues.

Subjects tried to maintain 15%, 30% and 50% maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) of their handgrip for 60 sec and 70% MVC for 30 sec. When the subjects watched the tension record, they could maintain the contraction for the required time. However, without visual cues (uncued), the tests resulted in a tension decline. Ae-alpha t described the tension decline in the 15% tests, Be-beta t the 70% test, while the form in the 30% and 50% tests was Ae-alpha t + Be-beta t. In all cases alpha and/or beta were found to be dependent on the starting tension. The electrical activity obtained from surface electromyograms did not increase during the uncued tests which would be expected if muscle fatigue were involved in the tension decline. Instead the electrical activity was directly proportional to the decline in tension suggesting that the fall in tension was not due entirely to muscle fatigue. 15% MVC uncued tests in which fatigue is known not to be a factor also showed a tension decline. Precooling the hand in an attempt to alter sensory input produced no systematic change from the original uncued tests, indicating that sensory information from the hand was probably not a major factor in the tension decline. It is suggested that during the uncued tests the fast component of the tension decline may be related to a sensory adaptation involving the Golgi tendon organs. The slow component is due to forearm muscle fatigue which is related to the ischemia produced during the isometric contractions.

Sustaining humans in space.

One goal of NASA's Ames Research Center is to extend the presence of humans in space. Biomedical research, human performance, and life-support systems form the core of the Ames program. Major questions highlight how the effects of microgravity on living systems are modified by exercise, artificial gravity, autogenic feedback training, and nutrition. Bioengineering and life science studies include humans, animals, and plants. Ames investigators collaborate extensively with outside university and commercial scientists, both within the United States and internationally.

[Individual therapy as a special form of complex psychotherapy].

A combination of several psychotherapeutic methods will be meaningfull only if they are tuned to, and supplement, each other. Indiscriminate combinations may produce harmful effects. The choice of psychotherapeutic methods depends upon the objective that the psychotherapist desires to accomplish. In psychotherapy it is essential that all actions taken be governed by plans worked out in accordance with the particular objectives to be accomplished.
