[Technical advances in demonstration of treponema-specific 19S-IgM antibodies in patients with latent or late-latent syphilis (author's transl)].

In patients with latent or late-latent syphilis as well as neurosyphilis the demonstration of treponema-specific 19S-IgM antibodies is not regularly possible. In this publication it is shown that high IgG antibodies are the reason for a competitive IgM inhibition in the indirect immunofluorescence tests. It is demonstrated that in the above mentioned states of the infection the IgM-FTA-19S test seemed to be the method of choice to realize the existence of 19S-IgM antibodies. In sera with competitive inhibited IgM it is possible to calculate the IgM antibody activity with the aid of the socalled F factor.

Technical advances in radiation therapy.

Substantial advances have been made in radiation therapy. Many of these advances can be applied in most radiation therapy departments without expensive improvements in equipment. Changes in radiation fractionation, chemotherapeutic sensitization, intraoperative radiation, and interstitial implants can be performed with experience and improved physician training in most medium-sized departments. Advances that require investments in expensive equipment such as particle radiation and hyperthermia will need to be evaluated at designated treatment centers.

Organization of screening in technically advanced countries: Iceland.

Mass screening for cervical carcinoma in Iceland over the past 20 years (1964-1983) has resulted in a 60% drop in the incidence of and mortality from the disease in the country. A study of the screening histories of the 77 incident cases of grossly invasive cervical cancer diagnosed in Iceland in the past nine years showed that 70% of the tumours occurred in women who had failed to attend screening or had done so very irregularly. Approximately 20% of the cervical cancers were either diagnostic or therapeutic failures, in that the women had been diagnosed with cytological changes but this did not result in the prevention of the tumour. The remaining 10% of the incident cervical carcinomas seemed to have escaped cytological detection and proved to be unusual types of cancer. Prevention of the last cases of cervical cancer is becoming increasingly laborious because of difficulties in maintaining interest among the public to attend regular screening. Women may escape surveillance of a cytological abnormality unless they are constantly reminded about follow-up visits. A small, but significant number of the tumours may continue to escape detection because of their unusual nature, but alterations in sampling techniques and increased awareness of the rarer forms of the disease could alter this.

The proximal phalangeal osteotomy. A technically advanced approach.

A historical review of osteotomies of the proximal phalanx has been presented. The techniques have remained relatively unchanged since their introduction by O. F. Akin in 1925. This article describes a minimal incision osteotomy technique using a medial approach to the hallux and wedge-shaped burs. The results suggest that the procedure produces good clinical results and is highly accepted by the patient. The procedure is compatible with a hospital or outpatient surgical facility. The procedure is recommended to those surgeons who are well-trained in ambulatory foot surgery. A statistical survey of the end-results is not available at the present time.
