[Eduard Arnold Martin (1809-1875)--founder of the Berlin Gynecologic Society. A contribution to the history of the Berlin Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology. II].

In 1844 the society of obstetrics in Berlin was founded by Carl Mayer (1795-1868). In 1873 this society splits in the society of obstetrics and the society of gynaecology. The present paper demonstrate the biography of Eduard Arnold Martin (1809-1875), the founder of the gynaecological society in Berlin (1873) and also his importance in the creation of an modern gynaecology.

Occupational respiratory disease in the United Kingdom 1989: a report to the British Thoracic Society and the Society of Occupational Medicine by the SWORD project group.

A voluntary scheme for the surveillance of work related and occupational respiratory disease (SWORD) was established in January 1989 with help from the British Thoracic Society and the Society of Occupational Medicine and support from the Health and Safety Executive. Three hundred and fifty four chest physicians representing 90% of the chest clinics in the United Kingdom and 361 occupational physicians submit reports regularly of newly diagnosed cases of work related respiratory illness with information on age, sex, residence, occupation, and suspected causal agent. In 1989 2101 cases were notified, of which frequent diagnoses were asthma (26%), mesothelioma (16%), pneumoconiosis (15%), benign pleural disease (11%), and allergic alveolitis (6%). Incidence rates calculated against denominators from the Labour Force Survey showed very large differences between occupational groups, especially for asthma and asbestos related diseases. Substantial regional variation in the incidence of asthma was not explained by the geographical distribution of high risk industries and was probably due to differing levels of ascertainment. The results imply that the true frequency of acute occupational respiratory disease in the United Kingdom may have been three times greater than that reported.

Spinal cord monitoring. Results of the Scoliosis Research Society and the European Spinal Deformity Society survey.

The Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) and the European Spinal Deformity Society (ESDS) membership was surveyed regarding the use of intraoperative monitoring of somatosensory evoked potentials in spinal surgery. A total of 242 people responded, with 188 using intraoperative monitoring. A second survey was distributed detailing the technical aspects of monitoring, of which 71 were returned. A total of 342 neurologic deficits were reported to have occurred with monitoring in place. Two hundred forty-six (72%) were accurately detected, and 96 (28%) were not detected by sensory cord evoked potentials (SCEP). There were 1,003 false-positive cases reported. The incidence of false-negative cases was related to those not monitoring both latency and amplitude, to using fewer recording electrodes, and with those surgeons doing more kyphosis corrections.
