[The Paget's disease--a gerontological study (author's transl)].

Authors found Paget's disease in cases among 1500 patients who considered themselves as healthy. They established their diagnosis on the basis of radiological and laboratory examinations. The incidence rate of Paget's disease was 0,7%, however it must be more frequent in the old groups. The familiar incidence of this illness is not frequent, thus it is rather intriguing that three persons i.e., 2 sisters and 1 brother is one family were found to have Paget's disease showing similar clinical and radiological symptoms. After three years the comparative examinations of two returning aged women showed a progress of Paget's disease. This manifested in exacerbation of osteopathy and increased the activity of the serum-alkaline-phosphatase. The cases of Paget's disease were reported by the authors because of the radiological interest, familiar incidence and the gerontological-geriatrical aspects.

[Arthrosis of the first ray of the hand in geriatric patients (author's transl)].

The frequency of arthrosis in the first ray of the hand increases with the age of the patient, particularly in the saddle joint of the thumb and in the joint between the trapezoid bone and the navicular bone of the hand. The finding is frequently bilateral and is accompanied by kinesalgia, periarticular swelling and restricted movement. A relationship between arthrosis of the first ray of the hand and certain occupations can be assumed. While the arthrosis in the saddle joint of the thumb demonstrates the usual radiological symptoms of arthrosis, the sclerosing of the joint surfaces between the os naviculare and the ossa multangula is the most pronounced.

[Arthropathy as a late result of trauma (author's transl)].

On the basis of 5 cases the syndrome of post traumatic arthropathy is described. Like its other forms it shows radiographyically a high degree of osteolysis, fragmentation and para-articular calcification of soft parts. The picture is similar to that of syringomyelia and tabes. If trauma occurs in childhood there will also be developmental retardation. One has to assume that trauma may be responsible for these isolated arthropathies at its site. Since the further course corresponds to that of a neurogenous arthropathie it is likely that in these cases there is an underlying disturbance of the relationship between nervous system and bone and joint which, so far, cannot be proved clinically.
