[Chronic traumatic rupture of the diaphragm (author's transl)].

The rising number of traffic accidents increases the number of traumatic ruptures of the diaphragm. Often there are no characteristic symptoms or those of other injuries may dominate. Sometimes a long time elapses before signs of hernia appear. Therefore the mass X-ray screening of the population is very important to demonstrate such cases. Chest X-ray, barium meal and pneumoperitoneum are required to detect a late herniation. Prompt surgical repair will give patients the best chance of recovery, thus avoiding complications which greatly increase the mortality rate.

[The anteroposterior (a--p) X-ray-picture in lateral radiographic position in patients after thoracic surgery (author's transl)].

A new approach to the X-ray checking after chest operations is described. Instead of sitting upright the patient is lying on his nonoperated side, the operated side of the chest upward. By this way it is easy to differentiate pleural effusions from basal infiltrations of the remaining lung segments. Furthermore it is possible to check the diaphragm and the lateral portions of the lung much easier than with the conventional X-ray pictures taken in sitting position.

[Contribution to retrospective roentgenographic follow-up of solitary pulmonary nodules (author's transl)].

The diagnostic problems of malignant solitary pulmonary nodules are demonstrated in 5 cases with a roentgenographic history of many years. The slow growth rate of adenocarcinoma and alveolar cell carcinoma--mainly in woman--and the possibility of a scar tissue carcinoma has to be considered. Peripheral pulmonary nodules in adult persons suspicious of carcinoma must be verified histologically, even if their growth rate is very slow and their roentgenographic history lasts many years. If this is not possible a thoracotomy should be performed.
