[Clinical-experimental testing of the effects of a new hypnotic on respiratory function in healthy subjects and in patients with chronic-obstructive syndrome].

In a placebo-controlled double-blinded study with ten healthy volunteers and ten patients with obstructive airway disease, the effect of the test compound on respiratory function was measured. Results show that in healthy persons as well patients with obstructive lung disease of slight to moderate degree respiratory functions were not impaired.

[Bladder carcinoma following bladder tuberculosis].

Two females developed squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder several years after tuberculosis of this organ. These observations are compared with similar reports. It is striking that in this situation squamous cell carcinomas occur almost exclusively as has become known from carcinomas of the bladder developing after other chronic infections.

Aged

[Open tuberculosis with radiologically negative cavity findings].

Non-cavernous bacillary tuberculosis is observed with relatively increasing frequency nowadays. Most patients affected have very few or no symptoms, and radiographs usually show circumscribed lesions. The essential feature is the low infection risk due to the small number of bacilli excreted.

[Evolution of tuberculosis and lung perfusion].

Ten patients with pulmonary tuberculosis of strikingly long duration despite intensive antituberculous therapy were examined by combined lung scintigraphy (133Xe in physiologic saline i.v. and 99mTc-MAA/microspheres). As a rule the scintigraphic perfusion defects far exceeded the lesions seen radiologically. These results appear to justify the presumption that the decrease - or even absence - of perfusion in the affected areas is responsible for protracted healing in these patients.

[Proceedings: Changes in the disease pattern of pulmonary tuberculosis].

Some 100 cases of active tuberculosis of the lung from each of the years 1953, 1963 and 1973 were studied to determine changes in the disease pattern. Chronologically a reduction in the distribution of multisegmental lesions and a diminution of the number of cavities was observed, with a marked tendency towards segments 1, 2 and 6. The number of new patients diminished and that of reactivated cases increased. Particularly noticeable was the observation of more highly productive tuberculoses.
