Diastolic filling properties in different forms of left ventricular hypertrophy, assessed by 2-D echocardiography.

In order to study the influence of various kinds of left ventricular hypertrophy on left ventricular filling pattern, 20 patients (five dilated cardiomyopathy, five hypertension, five end-stage renal disease, five hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), and five normals were studied by M-mode and pulsed 2D-Doppler echocardiography. Left ventricular dimensions, volumes and mass were derived from standard M-mode echocardiograms. Doppler velocity measurements of mitral inflow provided calculation of left ventricular diastolic filling parameters. While left ventricular diastolic function bore no relation to the impairment of left ventricular systolic function, there was a statistically significant correlation of left ventricular mass/volume ratio and impairment of left ventricular diastolic function. In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the parameters varied widely, and additional factors seem to determine left ventricular diastolic function in this group.

[Uncoforaminectomy of Jung in the management of osteoarthritis of the cervical spine and the post-traumatic cervical syndrome (author's transl)].

An anterolateral approach to the cervical spine with uncoforaminectomy is used to free the intra transverse portion of the vertebral artery (from C7 to C3) and the nerve roots. Four surgical indications are discussed; the cervicocephalic syndrome due to osteoarthritis of the joints of Luschka, the cervicobrachialgic syndrome which is often combined wirth the former, cervical myelopathy associated with osteoarthritis and the post-traumatic cervical syndrome. Clincal and neuro-radiological details are given. The results of operation are described in 149 cases and they have been successful in 82%.
