Roentgen-tele-data: a radiodiagnostic recording system.

A radiodiagnostic data-handling system with telephones connected to the hospital exchange is described. Time, date, and location of examination are automatically recorded. The system can deliver spoken instructions from the computer and warns if data are not valid. Diagnosis, their degree of verification, and cases of special interest are added at display terminals. Codes, equipment, and output are described. Costs represent 1% of the department's expenditures. Future plans include a booking sytem, rapid access, and on-line connection to the main data system.

[New problems and results in behavior therapy].

What is presently observed is not only a rapid increase in the number of publications, but also a major change in the theoretical principles of behavior therapy. The former onesidedness of a form of behavior therapy theoretically substantiated by classical conditioning only may be regarded as having been completely overcome. For example, this is evident from new approaches to behavior diagnosis as an essential prerequisite of differentiated therapy planning. Recent concepts of the theoretical substantiation of the effectiveness of behavior therapy lead to an increasing consideration of both cognitive and motivational aspects and also take into account the complexity of the patient's social relations. This, in turn, results in the availability of a wide range of indication-specific methods of behavior therapy.

Behavior Therapy

[Theory and method of self-assertion training].

Lack of assertiveness is considered, in the sense of the theoretical concept of Ullrich de Muynck and Ullrich, to be due to such components as 1. abnormal attitude toward oneself, 2. fear of criticism and failure, and 3. inadequately developed social skills; after this, the term 'assertiveness' is defined. Previous therapeutical approaches to the remedying of unassertiveness and the underlying theoretical assumptions are critically examined and discussed with particular reference to their effectiveness. These include the training programs developed by Salter and Wolpe which are characterized by certain onesidedness as well as the concept of Ullrich de Muynck and Ullrich, which has a sound theoretical basis and a rather differentiated or specialized structure. Reference is also made to the author's own research projects.

[Aseptic bone infarcts in occupational divers].

A report is given on dispensary investigations of professional divers. In 32 of a control group consisting of altogether 41 scaphander divers radiologically were found changes in the sense of aseptic bone necroses. 18 of the examined persons showed polyostotic affection and 14 had a monostotic localisation of the foci. Divers with no extensive findings could further work in their profession with a limitation of depth up to 13 depth of water. On the other hand examined persons with severe changes had temporarily to leave their profession. Relevant problems of the clinical symptomatology and the radiological differential diagnostics of aseptic bone necroses are discussed.
