Demented patients with early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) (n = 17), late-onset Alzheimer's disease (n = 30) and vascular dementia (VD) (n = 20) were studied with computed tomography of the brain. Semiquantitative evaluation of white matter low attenuation (WMLA) and central and cortical atrophy was performed without knowledge of the clinical diagnosis. In early onset AD there was almost complete absence of WMLA and central atrophy compared with the other groups, which showed moderate to severe changes. This suggests that early-onset AD should be separated from the late-onset form. The increased systolic blood pressure found in the WMLA group supports the opinion that WMLA has a vascular origin. The high percentage of WMLA in VD and late-onset AD indicates that subcortical factors have to be considered in the pathogenesis of these disorders.

In 150 patients with rheumatic diseases the analgesic efficacy of a 3-week therapy series (frequency of application 6 times a week) and a 6- and 9-week-therapy series (frequency of application three times and twice a week, respectively) was investigated. Criterion of evaluation is the local pain, which was determined for the duration of therapy series and the subsequent assessment over three months (once monthly). The 3-week therapy series and the 6- and 9-week-therapy series of ultrasound reached the same degree of analgesic aim. In comparison with the beginning of therapy series a significant reduction of pain continues, also 3 months after the therapy series. Concerning the curative objective the concentrated 3-week therapy series with daily application is justifiable under an economical aspect. The positive analgesic efficacy of a protracted ultrasound therapy series is beneficial from a rehabilitative view.
