Computerized tomography (CT), electroencephalography (EEG), and clinical symptoms in severe cranio-cerebral injuries: A comparative study.

In the first six months of 1977 156 patients with craniocerebral injuries underwent computerized tomography. Twelve had severe deficits which led to neurosurgical interventions. Only five had space-occupying haematomas. CT was useful in detecting neurosurgical complications, whereas EEG was useful in staging the severity of the trauma. The two methods, the functional one of EEG and the morphological one of CT, are complementary, especially with regard to the posttraumatic course. The clinical symptoms are reflected by EEG better than by CT.

[Clinical features of malignant follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (author's transl)].

75 cases treated between 1970 and 1976 for malignant follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were analysed for their cardinal signs. Contrary to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of "higher malignancy degree", the average age of patients with malignant follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is generally over 50 years, being more common in females. By the time the diagnosis is made a generalised stage has usually been reached. In the described group of patients the five-year survival rate was 65%, but compared with the malignant lymphoma of higher malignancy the prognosis is often complicated by secondary diseases resulting from the higher age. The findings confirm the need for histological sub-classification of malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Breast-feeding: First thoughts.

Factors responsible for negative attitudes toward breast-feeding are discussed. These factors do not relate to the relative properties of bottle or breast milk, but to anxieties and conflicts women experience in relation to their breasts and sexuality. A review of factual data in the literature that can be brought to bear in the clinical management of these anxieties is presented. The impact of physician attitudes and physician intervention on breast-feeding trends is discussed.
