Defense mechanisms in patients with bone marrow transplantation: a retrospective study.

The impact of defense processes on coping with threatening life diseases has been shown in many studies. Systematic studies focusing on defense mechanisms in these conditions are still rare, however. We report here on the results of a retrospective study on patients after bone marrow transplantation. Thirty four transcripts of patients interviewed at various time spans from treatment were analyzed for the presence or absence of an inventory of defense mechanisms. Cluster-analytic analysis revealed 2 clinically meaningful factors, described in detail.

[The - wave of apexcardiography in total AV block].

The apex cardiogram (acg) in three patients with total heart block showed also during closure of the a.v. valves a-waves, which modified the shape of the systolic wave of the acg. This means that in these cases the a-wave is not caused by impingement of the blood inflow from the atrium on the ventricular wall by contraction of the atrium itself.

[Apexcardiography in coronary disease].

The value of the apex cardiogram (AKG) for identification of diastolic extrasounds is established. The present study attempts to correlate the so called a-wave index and the systolic portion of the AKG-curve with the results of left heart catheterisation in 15 patients with coronary heart disease (KHK). The position of point U (the lowest point between the first and the second systolic wave) during mechanical systole and the relative height of the second systolic wave do not correlate with LVEDP, dp/dt and the a-wave index. In contrast to a group of 22 healthy persons the a-wave index of the KHK-patients was significantly higher (17.5% vs. 5.7% on average) and the position of point U was significantly earlier (42.5% vs. 62% on average, of the duration of mechanical systole).
