Regional distribution of fast and slow geniculo-cortical relay cells (GCR-cells) within the rat's dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (LGNd).

Unit activity of 135 GCR-cells in rat's LGNd was recorded extracellularly using micropipettes filled with trypan blue for subsequent marking of recording sites. The latencies of responses to electrical stimulation of the optic chiasma (OX) were mapped, and in accordance with Fukuda (1973) each GCR-cells was classified as fast or slow. Fast cells predominate in the rostroventromedial subregion and slow cells in the caudal part. Both fast and slow subtypes were found in the remaining rostrodorsolateral zone where slow cells made up two thirds of the subsample. The results fit the suggestion that in the LGNd of rats a fast retino-geniculate pathway relays in the ventromedial region, whereas slow pathways exist in the caudal as well as in the dorsolateral zone.

[Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy--beginning of a restructuring in the treatment of urinary calculi?].

After 31/2 years experiences with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) 852 patients have been treated. Because of the significant expansion of indications for ESWL from 15 to 70% of unselected stone formers, a permanent decrease of surgical stone removal can be expected, when ESWL availability is more sufficient. This may cause a change in the urological routine management of stone disease.

[Expansion of extracorporeal shock were lithotripsy by auxiliary methods].

With the introduction of the ESWL, this non-invasive form of treatment has proved itself to be an alternative to surgical renal stone therapy. The increasing application of auxiliary methods has results in a vast extention of the indications for ESWL-monotherapy. Therefore, presently, practically all patients with urolithiasis can be treated non-invasively, where previously, surgery had to be performed.

[Microsurgical penis replantation following self mutilation].

Although amputation of the penis is a rare problem, a complete reconstruction of all penile structures should be attempted in one stage. This way the best chance for full rehabilitation of the patient can be achieved. A microsurgical reimplantation with microsurgical sutures of arteries, veins, nerves and urethra after total amputation of the penis is reported. Eight months after surgery normal appearance and function, including a good urine flow and absence of urethral stricture, capability of erection and nearly normal sensitivity, was found.

Subdural effusions in children under two years--clinical and computer-tomographical data.

We investigated 161 children under 24 months of age by CT of the skull and reviewed the anamnestic and clinical history. 87 children showed subdural effusions, and 74 did not. There were 33 patients with other pathological findings in CT, and 41 had normal scans. Age and sex distribution as well as localization of the subdural effusions were consistent with the literature. The 87 children with subdural effusions represented 1.7% in a sample of about 5.000 CT scans. CT was the most reliable method for diagnosis of subdural effusions, compared to other techniques. There was a preponderance of small subdural effusions from 1 to 7 mm thickness (51%). Other CT abnormalities accompanying subdural effusions were found. Most frequently the interhemispheric sulcus was dilated and an internal hydrocephalus was present. Also in our group there were 7 anamnestical and 6 clinical symptoms highly diagnostic of subdural effusions.
