[99mTc-iron complex for demonstrating reflux without the use of a catheter (author's transl)].

99mTc-iron complex was used in 35 patients (20 adults and 15 children) in an investigation into ureteric reflux without using a catheter. The results were compared with the findings on micturating cysto-urethrography. Agreement in the findings was observed in 56 of the 69 kidneys examined. In only four kidneys, showing reflux radiologically, was this not observed on the isotope examination; in view of the low radiation dose, the catheter-free isotope method can be recommended as the most suitable investigation. The need for serial investigations or contrast allergies are important indications for using this method. The relatively high frequency with which reflux shown by the isotope method could not be confirmed radiologically (nine kidneys) indicates that the isotope is more sensitive than the radiological investigation.

Regional cerebral blood flow in depression: associations with psychopathology.

Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was measured during rest and cognitive activation in 21 patients with a major depressive episode and 21 healthy subjects. Depressive patients had significantly lower rCBF during rest in the right global, frontal, parietal, occipital and temporal regions and in the left global and frontal regions. During mental activation patients showed significantly lower values in all right and left parietal regions. rCBF was correlated with the scores of the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), the parietal regions. rCBF was correlated with the scores of the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), the Bech-Rafaelsen Melancholia Scale (BRMS), the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D) and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A). The most significant negative correlations were obtained with the BPRS. Correlation analyses between each single item of the BPRS and CBF values revealed the strongest associations between emotional withdrawal and decreased CBF. Patients with 'reactive' features had higher CBF than patients without 'reactive' symptoms. Only patients without 'reactive' symptoms had a lower CBF than controls. 'Endogenous' features had no impact on CBF.
