[Computer-assisted urodynamics].

Advantages of computer assisted urodynamics with the "Urosoft" program (Wiest KG, Munich) are: Better Display with colormonitor and enhanced graphic adapter, a more rapid quantitative data evaluation, especially with larger data volumes, a better data storage and management, the possibility of program extension for scientific purposes, and the providing of a medical report. Disadvantages are additional costs for hard- and software, an individual time for familiarizing and adjustment and an additional expenditure in cases where only a qualitative evaluation is done. Important is a data analysis in a second step, not done automatically with the measurements, to eliminate artifacts.

[Evaluating the success of surgery of stress incontinence--subjective and objective success].

This study comprises a comparison between subjective and objective results in 197 patients who underwent surgery for stress urinary incontinence. The objective success of surgery could be demonstrated by urodynamic measurements. The correlation of subjective and objective data showed a discrepancy, however, it were rather postoperative side effects and complaints which determined the subjective impression, for example voiding disturbances and complaints in sexual intercourse, than the surgical success. (Two thirds of the patients with recurrencies were at least content.) All control examinations should ask not only for the objective clinical result, but also for the subjective impression, especially with regard to side effects.

[Estrogen and progesterone receptors in corpus uteri carcinoma and their clinical significance].

In 49 carcinomas of the endometrium of varying clinical stages the estrogen and progesterone receptors were studied by charcoal absorption methods. The cases were studied between 1979 and 1981. 64% of the investigated cases were receptor positive, 35% were receptor negative. Estrogen receptors were detected in 61% and progesterone receptors in 49% of the cases. Both estrogen and progesterone receptors were detected in 45% of the cases. The receptor status was correlated with the clinical stage, the microscopic differentiation and the age of the patient. In 30 cases with a follow-up of more than 3 months it was attempted to determine the prognostic value of the steroid receptor status in endometrial carcinoma. The treatment possibilities with progestational agents and antiestrogens and with tamoxifen were discussed in view of the receptor status.
