[Roentgen diagnosis of motility disorders of the pharynx and esophagus].

This review discusses the radiological findings and diagnostic procedures of pharyngeal and esophageal motility disorders. The physiological and gastroenterological aspects of these different pathological entities are described in another article of the same issue. Both articles together are supposed to deliver a review of the most important esophageal motility disorders.

[Detection of a higher incidence of pathologic somatic findings in globus sensation by use of high frequency cinematography].

Since December 1984 303 patients have undergone examination in our Multidisciplinary Consultation Service for Swallowing Disorders; 117 of them were suffering from typical globus symptoms. We were able to increase the yield of detection of organic lesions by use of the technique of 35 mm film cineradiography with a rate of 50 frames/s. Frame-by-frame analysis and computer-assisted evaluation showed that 80% of the patients with globus symptoms suffered from one or more underlying organic diseases, which could often be treated later with success. We found an increased incidence of early hypopharyngeal diverticula, webs, and motility disorders of the upper esophageal sphincter often associated with gastro-esophageal reflux or weakness of the pharyngeal wall. Cineradiography proved to be a very important tool in the analysis of the pharyngeal swallow in globus pharyngis.

Duodenal fistula--a rare complication following the removal of an infected aortic graft: case report.

We present a rare case of fistulation from the duodenum into the prosthesis site of an aortic Y graft removed 8 months previously owing to infection. We have verified the topographical and anatomical location of the fistulation by fistula filling and CT and MR examination. To our knowledge such a postoperative complication has not been previously documented. In evaluating and comparing our observation we discuss their significance for topographical associations and prognosis and as an indication for surgical intervention.

[CT findings and CT-guided puncture of a perineal cyst].

CT findings and treatment results after CT-monitored surgery of a large perineal cyst are described. This was identified as a Müllerian duct cyst which is considered--according to world literature--to be a great rarity. The high rate of relapses even on instillation of sclerosing solutions, as well as differential diagnosis in relation to other perineal cystic space-occupying growths, are discussed.

Susceptibility of enamel surfaces to demineralization after application of fluoridated carbamide peroxide gels.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of experimental, fluoridated carbamide peroxide gels on formation of erosively induced demineralization of enamel. Seventy-five bovine enamel specimens were polished for microhardness determination and evenly distributed among 5 groups (A-E). The specimens were treated with 10% carbamide peroxide gel (8 h) and subjected twice to remineralization for 2 h in artificial saliva and demineralisation for 90 s in 1% citric acid, pH 2.2. The cycles of treatment with carbamide peroxide and twofold re- and demineralization were repeated three times. The carbamide peroxide gels were different in pH and fluoride content. Gel A (pH 7.0) and gel B (pH 5.7) were fluoridated (0.5% F), gel C (pH 7.0) and gel D (pH 5.7) were not fluoridated. In control group E the samples were not treated with a gel, but stored in 100% humidity for 8 h instead. Knoop microhardness of the specimens was assessed directly after polishing, and after each carbamide peroxide treatment and demineralization. All specimens showed a loss of microhardness at the end of the experiment. After 3 days, the controls revealed a significantly lower hardness loss compared to the specimens treated with the carbamide peroxide gels. Surface softening was significantly lower for the specimens of group A compared to the remaining groups (B-D), which were not significantly different among each other. It is concluded that treatment with either fluoridated or unfluoridated carbamide peroxide gels, at either neutral and acidic pH, renders enamel more susceptible to demineralization. Use of a fluoridated neutral gel decreases the degree of surface softening compared to the other gels investigated.

Brushing abrasion of softened and remineralised dentin: an in situ study.

The aim of the present in situ study was to evaluate the effect of different periods of intra-oral remineralisation on the susceptibility of softened dentin to toothbrushing abrasion. Groups of 6 human dentin specimens (A-F) were recessed in the buccal aspects of intra-oral appliances which were worn for 21 days by 11 volunteers. The samples were demineralised twice a day extra-orally in the acidic beverage Sprite Light (pH 2.9) for 90 s. Subsequently, the dentin specimens were brushed at different times. Specimen A was brushed immediately after demineralisation. Specimens B-E were brushed after the intra-oral appliances had been worn for various periods in the mouth: specimen B for 10 min, C for 20 min, D for 30 min and E for 60 min. Specimen F was not brushed (control). After 21 days, dentin wear was measured with a profilometer. The following values (means +/- standard deviation) were recorded (microm): A, 23.6 +/- 16.7; B, 37.9 +/- 29.7; C, 31.8 +/- 26.5; D, 18.5 +/- 10.5; E, 15.3 +/- 11.6; F, 12.6 +/- 6.7. There was a statistically significantly increased dentin loss for groups A, B and C as compared to the controls (U test: p < 0.05). However, after intra-oral periods of 30 and 60 min, wear was not significantly higher than in unbrushed controls. It is concluded that for protection of dentin surfaces at least 30 min should elapse before toothbrushing after an erosive attack.

Method to detect minimal amounts of calcium dissolved in acidic solutions.

The study describes the application of the Arsenazo III method for detection of minimal amounts of calcium 12.4-49.4 micromol/l in different acidic solutions (hydrochloric acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, phosphoric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, lactic acid and acetic acid) adjusted to pH 2.0, 2.3 and 3.0. A mixture of the respective calcium concentrations with distilled water served as control. The experiments were run with ten repeats in series. Assessment of intra- and interassay coefficient of variation, and lower limit of quantification revealed that depending on the acid used, the Arsenazo III method is a reliable tool to quantify minimal calcium contents in acidic solutions.
