[Radiologic-endoscopic correlation in ulcerative colitis].

Double-contrast irrigoscopies (DCI) performed in 32 patients with confirmed ulcerative colitis are reviewed and correlated with colonoscopy. Whereas endoscopy proved more efficient in assessing superficial changes of the mucosa, DCI was found to be superior in the detection of deeper mucosal lesions and changes in the anatomic aspect of the colon wall. Moreover, DCI showed advantages in the evaluation of the entire colon including the coecum; examination of the coecum by endoscopy was achieved in 31% only of the scrutinised cases.

[Fine relief of the stomach and diagnosis of gastritis. A radiologic-endoscopic-histologic comparative study].

To assess the sensitivity of radiology in diagnosis of gastritis within 2 hours endoscopy and biopsy of the stomach and double contrast barium meal were performed. The diagnosis was established of the morphologic picture of the areae gastricae, which were sufficient visible in 33 out of 50 cases (66%). In 7 patients radiologic findings were normal, 13 patients showed superficial gastritis, 10 patients had superficial gastritis with signs of atrophy and in 3 patients there was an erosive gastritis. In all 33 patients (100%) there was a complete correlation of radiologic and endoscopic findings, in 24 out of 33 cases (73%) even correlation between radiologic and histologic classification. These results are discussed and confrontated with literatures.

[Bone scintigraphy in high-voltage injury to the skull].

This is a report on the use of skeletal scintigraphy in skull injury caused by power current (heavy current). Nuclear medicine offers the advantage compared with x-ray technique of early and safe assessment of the vitality of the injured bone. This is of course of great value for selecting the appropriate therapy.

Bladder obstruction--a rare complication after percutaneous renal biopsy.

In the treatment of diffuse renal disease exact histological diagnosis is of great importance. Biopsy, therefore, is an integrated component of patient management. The most common complication following percutaneous renal biopsy (PRB) is bleeding. Gross hematuria can be easily detected; an uncommon complication after PRB, however, is bleeding into the urinary system, with obstruction of the bladder by blood clots. By means of ultrasonic control obstruction of the bladder can easily be diagnosed in a non-invasive way. As far as we know, no cases where bladder obstruction due to blood clots after PRB were diagnosed by ultrasonography have been documented so far.

[Tumor-like bursal calcifications due to uncontrollable hyperphosphatemia in chronic hemodialysis. Case report].

The most important factor that appears to be associated with soft-tissue calcifications in uremics is the increase of serum-phosphate levels, especially if the calcium-phosphate product exceeds the value of 75 (concentrations in mg/dl) [6]. In contrast to previous years tumoral paraarticular calcinosis is now rarely seen because much more attention has been paid to the prevention of hyperphosphatemia and because of pharmacological improvement of phosphate binding agents. Therefore, the level of serum phosphate in hemodialysed patients primarily depends on the patients adherence to the low phosphate diet and compliance with the phosphate binding therapy [4, 8]. We want to report of a patient on chronic intermittent hemodialysis who developed tremendous paraarticular soft tissue calcifications during a short period of time due to uncontrolled hyperphosphatemia despite correct intake of phosphate binding compounds.

[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.
