[Diagnosis of functional disorders of the gallbladder and bile ducts].

The technique of hepatobiliary function scintigraphy (HBFS) is described and the different stages of filling are analyzed. Continuous observation and registration of the flow of the administered test dose is undertaken so that any possible anomalies can be noted. After the administration of contraction agents (Biloptin stimulus), the function of the involuntary muscles of the gall bladder and bile ducts is examined. In this way irregularities of tone can be registered. The place of HBFS within the field of gall bladder and biliary tract diagnostics is defined.

[Should elderly hypertensive patients be treated with a beta-blocker-diuretic combination?].

30 hypertensive patients aged over 60 years underwent an antihypertensive treatment for a time of 3 months with Viskaldix . There was an excellent hypotensive effect in supine and standing position and no bradycardia or orthostatic dysregulation occurred. Metabolic parameters were not influenced, and this is of great importance in elderly patients. It seems notable that elderly patients may benefit from a beta-blocker therapy, as there is clinical or subclinical coronary heart disease.

[Activating ergotherapy--a method for increasing cognitive performance in geriatric patients].

A study was performed in two groups of multimorbid longterm geriatric inpatients (n = 22 in each group). This compared the effects of re-activating occupational therapy (= study-group) on cognitive functions, subjective well-being, affectivity and social integration. The control group was monitored with a normal program of functional rehabilitation. The assessment of psychometric variables after 12 weeks and after 24 weeks of treatment revealed a significant (p < 0.01) improvement in cognitive functioning and subjective well-being in the study group. These results demonstrate the therapeutic benefit of re-activating occupational therapy in the treatment of cognitive impairment of geriatric patients, which is often aggravated by hospitalization.
