[Nature and significance of osteopenia].

New realisations on the regulation of bone and calcium metabolism by hormones and vitamins, modern methods of the radiologic and morphologico-morphometric diagnostics considerably increased our knowledge about the deminerlising diseases of the skeletal system. The possibilities for diagnostics and therapy resulting from this are restricted in practice by a non-adequate nomenclature. The introduction of the disease group notion "osteopenia" for all demineralising processes and its definition as well as the representation of the differential diagnostics of osteolamacia, fibrosteoclasia and syndrome of osteoporosis as clinical main representatives of osteopenia shall help to prevent diagnostic and therapeutic errors.

[Intra-articular therapy with radionuclides].

The 12-year experiences of a working team with the intraarticular radiogold therapy in persisting synovialitides of chronic rheumatic diseases and resistant irritation phases of arthroses are supplementarily described and a critical valuation is performed. Finally practical conclusions for the local joint therapy are made, taking into consideration also the experiences of other investigators.

[Undesirable drug interactions. Notes on general principles].

Increasing knowledge about undersirable drug interactions make necessary new differential-therapeutic considerations. It is attempted to meet the problem in its general importance and - without any over-refinements which have nothing to do with practice - to draw conclusions for pharmacotherapy.

[Results after fracture of the os calcis (author's transl)].

A double study over a period of 40 years was undertaken--from 1935 to 1954 in Berlin and from 1955 to 1976 in Salzgitter--including a total of 393 fractures of the os calcis. The results of different types of treatment are presented. It is the type and severity of the fractures, not the way of treatment which determines the outcome. 161 patients have been followed clinically and radiologically at least 5 years after fracture of the os calcis. Third degree fractures were objectively and subjectively less favourable regardless of therapy. Active surgical treatment should be post-poned and consist in fusion of the subtalar joint.

[Intra-articular therapy of chronic arthritides].

The intraarticular therapy with the aim of the direct influence on the pathologically changed synovial membrane increasingly gains significance. On the basis of own results as well as literary data the present possibilities of the local treatment of chronic arthritides are described. After discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of the individual usable preparations a scheme of therapy elaborated for the use of local therapeutics in chronic synovialitis is described. Exact indications for the use of the intraarticular as well as operative methods for therapy of chronic synovialitis must still be established.

[Laboratory diagnosis in rheumatology].

The laboratory diagnostics essentially contributed to the pathogenetic clarification of rheumatological problems and gives multifarious support to the rheumatologist in differential and activity diagnostics and thus also decisively contributes to early diagnostics and therapy. When the acute-phase-reactions serve for the differentiation of inflammatory-rheumatic diseases and degenerative diseases and for the establishment of the degree of activity, so the ASR further the diagnostic ascertainment of a rheumatic fever, the agglutination tests for proving the rheumatoid factor further the differential diagnosis of the rheumatoid arthritis, the LE-phenomenon and the ANF further the differential diagnosis of the LEV, the proof of cardiac auto-antibodies essentially furthers the diagnostics of carditis, the increase of uric acid the early recognition of gout, the synovial diagnostics at length became necessary for the clarification of clinically unclear mon- or oligoarthritides and the determination of the local activity for the observation and judgment of the course. Notwithstanding the primate of the clinic without an effective laboratory diagnostics a modern rheumatology can no more be performed nowadays.
