[Hemiballistic syndrome in a drummer].

We report an acute right-sided functional hemiballistic syndrome of the upper and lower limb combined with functional choreatic symptoms of the right forearm and hand of an 59 year old drummer. After a wide range of diagnostic procedures, no somatic reasons could be delineated. Finally a lifetime associated syndrome could be elucidated. We therefore reviewed possible diagnostic and methodical neurological and psychosomatic aspects of functional hemiballism.

Isolation of Bartonella quintana from an HIV-positive patient with bacillary angiomatosis.

Bartonella quintana was grown from a lysis-centrifugation blood culture of an HIV-positive man who presented with lesions of bacillary angiomatosis in skin and bones. The isolate was identified by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and amplification of the enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequences.

Psychosomatic medicine and otorhinolaryngology.

The article gives a clinically oriented survey of psychosomatic aspects in otorhinolaryngology. After a 50-year history of psychosomatic research in this field, the psychosomatic point of view gives a sufficient approach to a lot of diseases in otorhinolaryngology, especially to numerous and frequent diseases of functional origin, but also to problems of coping and psychosocial support. Different indications to psychoanalytic or behavioral psychotherapeutic treatment are discussed.

'In situ' immune complex nephritis and basic proteins.

This investigation was designed to clarify the potential role of basic antigens in immune complex nephritis. The GBM is negatively charged and binds cationic substances. We studied 1) whether chemically cationised proteins can bind to the GBM, act as planted antigen, and induce 'in situ' immune complex formation or 2) if a pre-formed cationic antigen antibody complex can localise in the GBM. Results obtained with 5 chemically cationised proteins support the first possibility.

[Studies on the modification of performance and metabolic processes in sheep through experimental Fasciola hepatica infections considering low infestation intensity].

Low experimental infections with Fasciola hepatica (8...17 flukes per animal) in sheep, 6...12 months old, caused less gain weight over a period of 22 weeks. Changes in the number of erythrocytes and in the Hb-concentration were not found. In contrast to the controls the infected sheep showed strong fluctuations in the number of lymphocytes. 3 weeks post infect. a significant eosinophilia was observed, which continued until the end of the investigation. With the beginning of the fourth week post infect. the values of serum albumin were lower, the values of gamma-globulin higher than those of the controls, but there was no statistical significance. The bromosulphalein-test for liver function was negative.
