[Circumcision for prevention of penis and cervix cancer? Results of a parent survey].

Results of questioning young parents--582 by direct questioning and 624 by questionnaires--about their knowledge of male circumcision are presented. 61% of those directly questioned and 24% of parents polled by questionnaire did not know what circumcision means. The older the parent and the higher their professional qualifications, the greater their knowledge. Reasons for circumcision were divided into four categories: surgical, hygienic, prophylaxis of cancer and cosmetic. Health education about genital hygiene and circumcision is necessary.

[Results of studies with the Meyer-Probst Encephalopathy Questionnaire in children with normal behavior].

To diagnose encephalitis the 'Encephalitis-Fragebogen (E-F)' by Meyer-Probst is a valid instrument. The authors tested a large number of children without unadaptive or neurotic behaviour (4.5 to 11.9 years) with this instrument to define new standards. Parts of the results are presented. There are very significant differences between boys and girls. Considering the age, different standards are necessary only for boys. Using these new standards it is possible to avoid misinterpretation.

[Differential evaluation of a study of children with normal behavior with the Meyer-Probst Encephalopathy Questionnaire].

To define new standards for the 'Enzephalopathie-Fragebogen' by Meyer-Probst the authors tested a large number of children (n = 2841) without unadaptive or neurotic behaviour (4.5 to 11.9 years). The results of the total scale were published in an earlier article. The findings of the specific scales prove significant differences between boys and girls with respect to the scales hyperactivity, social adaption, emotional instability and educability. Considering the age, different standards are necessary for boys only. The results published here differ from those of Meyer-Probst.

[Blood sedimentation rate. 1 or 2 hour values?].

In 1,000 randomly selected children treated in our clinic, the blood sedimentation rate was determined among other things. One-hour values were compared to those of the second hour. Determination of the one-hour value alone proved sufficient for diagnostik purposes and clinical follow-up evaluations.

[Mumps and testicular development].

In 200 children and teenagers, 8 to 18 years of age, who had badly fallen ill with mumps respectively mumps orchiditis 4 to 12 years ago an indirect testicular volumetry was carried through. Most of the testicles showed volumes below average. A possible causal connection between a postinfectious testicular dystrophy respectively -atrophy and an increased cancer risk is pronounced.

[Varicocele testis--a pediatric disease?].

The inquiries and evidences demonstrated deal with the consequences of the varicocele disease which had remained unattended in childhood. They are based on representative collective statistics and examinations of the own patients. The parameters density of spermatozoa, motility of spermatozoa, paternity, volume of the testes and histomorphology of the testes refer to the diminution of the fertility beyond adolescence. Operatively treated children have a more favourable prognosis of fertility.

[Malignant degeneration of congenital dystopic testes].

About 0.004 percent of the male population were found to suffer from malignant tumors of testicles annually, with undescended testicles being at higher cancer risk than orthotopic ones. An overall statistical analysis of 1,458 cases of congenitally undescended, malignantly degenerated testicles of adults has revealed that 63.18 percent of the patients never underwent drug treatment, while 10.07 percent were treated without success. The remaining 26.73 percent of the patients underwent largely incompetent operations in late adolescence. Six own observations are described briefly. It is recommended to treat congenitally dystopic testicles already in early childhood, which will largely eliminate malignant degeneration of undescended testicles.

Excretory urography as a screening method for abnormalities of the upper urinary tract in asymptomatic boys with undescended testicles.

Congenital dystopic testicles frequently occur jointly with abnormalities of the kidneys and the system of draining urinary ducts. A series of 100 asymptomatic boys has been studied by intravenous excretory urography after having undergone orchiopexy for retained testes. All children were clinically non-suspect and there was no history of urinary tract malformation. The investigations brought to light 7 major and 9 minor abnormalities. However, the authors do not recommend the use of intravenous urography as a routine procedure in all children with undescended testicles. The indications of the diagnostic procedure must be limited.
