[Dermatoglyphics of homo- and heterozygotes for Wilson's disease (hepatolenticular degeneration) (author's transl)].

Dermatoglyphics of 11 patients with Wilson's disease and 16 of their clinically asymptomatic relatives of first degree were investigated; 11 of the latter ones were heterozygous in agreement with the turn over rates of Cu-67, 12 under the assumption of autosomal recessive inheritance. On the finger tips the Mb. Wilson patients showed 52.7% whorls, their heterozygous relatives about 40%; compared with our controls (males 33.16%, females 28.82%, Aue-Hauser, 1970) that means a strong increase of this pattern type. On the palm the high frequency of hypothenar patterns in homo- and heterozygotes for Wilson's disease and of loops with accessory triradius in the 4th interdigitum of the patients with Wilson's disease was striking.

[Nutritional problems in diseases of the small and large intestine].

18 patients with inflammatory bowel disease, among them ten with ulcerative colitis and 5 with Crohn's disease, were treated with the combined enteral-parenteral synthetic hypercaloric nutrition. By use of Vivasorb the clinical results were rather good. However, it was impossible to normalize the serumalbumin until the application of the formula diet BSD, enriched in amino acids. These experiences with BSD reveal much better results. All patients recovered nearly completely from their complaints and the clinical parameters went back to normal. Furthermore, it is easier to improve the flavour. The typical mode therapy is demonstrated on one patient with ulcerative colitis and one with Crohn's disease.
