[Prevention of postoperative phlebothrombosis by means of pneumatic massage of the extremities in animals].

Thromboembolism may be considered as the most serious complication in the postoperative period. Due to improvements in anaesthesia and postoperative supervision even those patients who are in a bad state of health may be operated upon. The frequency of postoperative phlebothrombosis, however, has increased in recent years. External pneumatic massage of the extremities will speed up the blood flow in the veins and increase the fibrinolytic activity in the vein wall. In animal experiments we could observe a significant decrease of the thrombus size in artificially produced thrombosis in the vena femoralis of dogs, if after thrombus induction the external pneumatic massage was applied.

[Experimental model of coronary thrombosis in the closed thorax in swine].

Coronary thrombosis was induced in 14 miniature pigs by means of direct current. The induction electrode was introduced via the common carotid artery into the coronary artery. The intensity of current (1 mA) and the duration of current flow (60 min) were kept constant in all the experimental animals. 6 miniature pigs survived the period of observation (48 h). In all instances, an injury to the intima was the morphopathological location factor. With the exception of one animal, which died after an induction time of 60 min, coronary thrombosis was stated in all the miniature pigs. The experimental arrangement which produces closed-thorax coronary thrombosis is suited for cardiosurgical, physiopathological and pharmacological experiments, especially because the anatomy and the degree of development of the porcine heart are most similar to those of the human heart.

[Experiences in the determination of thyroxine iodine in serum in various functional conditions of the thyroid gland].

A report is given on the method of the thyroxine iodine determination in the serum. Of 213 patients the result of the thyroxine iodine determination was compared with the clinically and radiologically established functional condition of the thyroid gland. The findings are discussed. Similar results were also reported of other in-vitro-tests (T3-test, T4-test, BEJ and PBJ). According to our experiences we consider the thyroxine iodine determination in the serum siutable as screening test which - when there is a suspicion of a hypo- or hyper- thyroidism - needs the supplementation by the radio-iodine functional and localisation tests.
