[A simple apparatus for controllable drinking without leaks for laboratory rats].

A simple device for watering laboratory rats is described. It has been made by using commercially available glass tubing (DURAN 50) with outside diameters of 8 mm, 6 mm, and 3 mm, respectively. The tubes were fused at their tips. The drinking tube is fitted to a rubber stopper at the top of a 250 ml soft polyethylene bottle. By this way water-soluble drugs can be administered to rats with high precision.

Measuring the quality of life: a comparison between physically and mentally chronically ill patients and healthy persons.

The FLZ seems to be a suitable method for reliably measuring the quality of life of healthy persons and of patients, as well as differentiating between persons and groups. The concept of weighting satisfaction with the individual importance of each of the items and of measuring several dimensions seems to make sense in view of the data. The modified version of the FLZ is currently being employed in various hospitals. The assessment of a larger normative sample is being planned. QL shall then be differentiated from the construct mood and be compared to objective data. In addition, the sensibility to change of the questionnaire shall be tested in a process analysis.

[Determinants of left ventricular function in aortic stenosis. Analysis based on pre and postoperative hemodynamic studies].

In 11 preoperative patients with aortic stenosis the isovolumic contractile indices Vpm and Vmax were normal (group N). In 8 patients with aortic stenosis these indices were depressed (group D). Peak systolic circumferential wall stress (afterload) did not differ in the two groups and showed a similar decrease after successful valve replacement. Left ventricular ejection fraction increased significantly in group D from 48 to 71% and remained unchanged in group N (70 and 75%). It is concluded that the significant improvement in ejection performance in group D at similar afterload conditions as in group N is indicative for an impaired preoperative myocardial contractile state.
