[Periodic paresis due to hypokalaemia (author's transl)].

A case of periodic paralysis is reported that had to be treated by mechanical ventilation. Symptoms and course of this attack are demonstrated and it is shown how diagnosis was reached. Provocative factors of periodic hypokaliemic paralysis are discussed and their importance in anaesthesia is emphasised.

[Acute implantation technique of the ellipsoid heart for clinical left ventricular assistance (author's transl)].

The results of the first clinical trials of left ventricular assist devices are not encouraging. The only indication at present is in patients with cardiac failure after cardiac operations. The acute type of ellipsoid heart described in this paper-displays a canulation technique where the inflow canula inserted in the left ventricular cavity via the left atrium and the outflow canula is directly connected to the aortic canula of the cardiopulmonary bypass. The haemodynamic response shows the efficacy of this system. The circulation can be maintained in severe cardiac failure, as well as in ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest. On the basis of data obtained in experiments on 7 female calves this system is considered worthy of clinical trial.

[Differential diagnosis between skeletal muscle lesions and myocardial damage in multiple injury by determination of myocardial-specific creatine phosphokinase (CK-MB) (author's transl)].

The serum level of the myocardial-specific isoenzyme of creatine phosphokinase, CK-MB was determined in 50 patients with severe multiple injuries or following extensive surgery. It is concluded that whenever the proportion of CK-MB exceeds 10% of the total creatine phosphokinase activity myocardial damage has occurred, especially since equivalent ECG changes were registered in this group of patients.

[The value of CKMB in multiple trauma and high voltage injuries].

The paper deals with a new aspect in patients with polytrauma using a method to distinguish between myocardial or skeletal muscle damage. The isoenzyme CKMB of kreatine kinase is found to be characteristic for myocardial damage when increasing to more than 10% of the whole enzyme activity. It should be mentioned that this elevation is also seen in other disorders. Therefore the correlation to ECG changes is important in considering the diagnosis.

[111 cases of tetanus in 18 years. Report of experiences and general conclusions (author's transl)].

Tetanus is subdivided into 3 degrees of severity according to the course. When death occurs, we differentiate those cases due to the disease itself (16) and those resulting from late complications or avoidable technical defects (12). 82 of our 111 patients-79 men and women-had been neither passively nor actively immunized and none of the supposedly actively immunized had been inoculated properly. The horse serum available in earlier years was considered unsuitable while an intravenous human serum recently produced by Messrs Immuno of Vienna justified greater expectations. Sedation or prolonged sleep with and without relaxation, tube feeding and parenteral feeding, prolonged intubation or trachectomy, duration of the life-threatening phase of the disease, breaking off treatment ("stealing out"), mobilization and finally, the question of expense, bear no relation to the extremely small cost of a confirmed triple inoculation. An urgent consequence of this is obligatory active immunization in early childhood if an earlier inoculation has not been done, but also at any time afterwards.
