[Experiences with the Rostock artificial heart].

A totally artificial heart--the Rostock totally artificial heart (Rostock TAH) was implanted in calves. We can give the following deductions after 27 examinations: -- The Rostock TAH was tested successfully in endurance test about 7 months; it show no sign of wear. -- The surgical technique of the implantation was standardised and a successful experimentation is possible. -- The longest survival time was 15 days. The hemodynamic early results were very good in 3 other animals. -- Modifications of the Rostock TAH were taken up relating to the dimensions of the artificial ventriculi and by mounting a screw cap for avoiding an air embolism. -- Adaption tests in the corpse show that the present form of the artificial heart is not ideal for a possible application in man. -- The problem is still existing in developing a suitable drive system locates intrathoracically. The present drive and control system on a pneumatic base is qualified only for the animal experiment but not for a possible application in man.

[Echocardiography].

Echocardiography makes possible the analysis of cardiac structures and their dynamics. The presence of valvular disease and its severity can be determined by evaluation of variations in the intensity of reflection and alterations in the motion of valvular structures. The echocardiographic representation of cardiac chambers permits the detection of congenital and acquired structural defects as well as an evaluation of ventricular function. Echocardiography provides a non-invasive means of diagnostic analysis throughout the spectrum of heart diseases and can replace a number of invasive diagnostic procedures.

Effect of time and temperature on growth of Salmonella enteritidis in experimentally inoculated eggs.

Influence of time and temperature on Salmonella enteritidis multiplication in experimentally injected eggs was examined. There was an increase in the number of S. enteritidis with the increase in temperature of egg storage. There was less increase of S. enteritidis in eggs stored at 4 degrees C than in eggs held at temperatures higher than 4 degrees C (P less than 0.05). These results suggest a possible method for monitoring commercial eggs for the presence of S. enteritidis. It was concluded that the chances of recovery of S. enteritidis can be increased 10(6)-fold or more by holding the eggs at temperatures of 21 or 27 degrees C for more than 20 days and culturing their contents.
