[Statistical approach to forensic conversion values for alcoholics].

With collaboration of the study groups from Tübingen, Munich and Kiel and consideration of the results of Bonnichsen et al 1968, alcohol elimination curves of 98 alcoholics were subjected to a joint evaluation for determination of the beta 60 values. The average elimination rate was 0.21 g/kg/h (s = 0.05 g/kg/h). By analogy to average beta 60 values and back-conversion factors of nonalcoholics, the limit values for alcoholics were estimated as being between 0.12 g/kg/h (minimum value) and 0.29 g/kg/h (maximum value).

[Methanol kinetics in chronic alcoholism].

Blood tests from 39 persons, who had been admitted to a local hospital for alcoholics, were analysed. The methanolconcentrations at the reception time lay between 10 and 82 mg/kg and the BAC between 2.00 and 3.83%. In all cases, when Ethanol existed in a sufficient concentration the Methanolconcentration showed a horizontal trend. A Methanolelimination was not observed. Only after exceeding a limiting value of Ethanol, which fluctuated between 0.8 and 0.2%, in most of the cases under 0.2%, the Methanolcurves increased significantly. An Ethanolelimination was observed between 0.15 and 0.25% per hour, the average was about 0.19%.

[Kinetics of aliphatic alcohols (methanol, propanol-1 and isobutanol) in the presence of alcohol in the human body].

I. In several experiments the kinetics and questionable mutial influences of Methanol, Propanol-1 and Isobutanol were examined while Ethanol was present. II. In five different experiments 30 persons got separate congeners (7 mg Methanol/kg body weight, 5 mg Propanol-1/kg body weight, 5 mg Isobutanol/kg body weight) with 0.8 g Ethanol/kg body weight. The times of drinking took both 30 and 60 minutes. Blood samples were taken partly half hourly, partly every quarter of an hour while the experiments took 4 to 9.5 hours. III. Apart from shown exceptions the curves of the Ethanol concentrations during the phases of elimination showed the familiar linear slope, whereas the corresponding Methanol concentrations went up on average of 0.17 mg/kg/hour. Propanol-1 as well as Isobutanol took exponential courses in their phases of elimination. The corresponding results have been shown and discussed in detail.

[Sudden cardiac death following psychoemotional stress].

Sudden death from cardiac arrest is described, which occurred after a minor accident. Morphologically, a coronary change was found in the sense of "juvenile coronary atherosclerosis" in connection with intramural bleeding postmortem. As there were no injuries in connection with the accident but psychoemotional stress had occurred, it is concluded that affective resonance resulting from the accident initiated the death. The pathological and pathophysiological relationships are discussed.

[Postmortem tissue embolisms. Report of 3 cases].

In three cases of autopsy (cause of death - intoxication and drowning) we found in the lung intraalveolar und intravasal lymphatic tissue and bone-marrow. The results cannot be explained with violence during lifetime, but in tow cases as an effect of fracture of rips caused by external cardiacmassage, in one case by embalming with injection of conservation fluids.
