Electrodermal audiometry: renewed acquaintance with an old friend.

Reasonable requirements for any test of nonorganic hearing impairment are that the procedure should result in both identification of a nonorganic problem and an accurate determination of true organic thresholds. In our clinical experience, no hearing test meets the determination of threshold requirement as accurately and as efficiently as electrodermal audiometry (EDR). The purpose of this presentation is to offer a brief review of our recent clinical experience with EDR audiometry, including representative case histories.

[Neurologic complications in high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Clinico-neuropathological correlations].

The neurological and electroneurographic assessment was carried out in 56 patients with high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphomas. In 37 patients the neuropathological examination was also done. Polyneuropathy was the most frequent sign of nervous system involvement, observed in 40% of patients before chemotherapy and markedly enhanced by cytostatics. The signs of the central nervous system involvement were usually caused by lymphomatous infiltrations within leptomeninges, especially in lymphoblastic and immunoblastic lymphomas. The authors stress that cerebro-spinal fluid should be investigated several times for avoiding of false negative results. Signs of lymphomatous infiltrations disappeared after treatment, while signs of polyneuropathy due to chemotherapy increased during cytostatic treatment.

[2 cases of hereditary recurrent neuropathy caused by compression of the peripheral nerves].

The authors describe two cases of recurrent neuropathy in members of two different families. Paresis of peroneal nerves was the only sign released by compression of the nerve during work in squatting or kneeling position. The members of one family had similar clinical and electrophysiological signs. The father of the second patient was clinically healthy but he had evidently reduced conduction velocity in peroneal nerves. The diagnosis was established after ruling out of exogenous and endogenous infectious and toxic factors, vitamin deficiency and allergy.

[Paramyoclonus multiplex (Friedreich's disease)].

The authors describe a case of benign myoclonic jerks in a man aged 45 years, followed-up during 3 years. The disease had a benign course and a tendency was observed for decreasing intensity of symptoms. Apart from disseminated myoclonic jerks and longer lasting muscle spasms no other neurological abnormalities were found. EMG demonstrated spontaneous and asynchronous discharges of groups of motor units corresponding to the observed myoaclonic jerks but no other pathological findings were elicited. Other laboratory investigations including CT of the brain gave normal results. Taking into account the onset and course of the disease, the objective state and the results of laboratory investigations a functional background of the disease could not be ruled out.

[Morphological and functional studies of the lacerated sciatic nerve in rats after using various suture technics].

The course of regenerative processes was compared in rat sciatic nerve after its transection and anastomosis of the nerve. The nerves were united suturing the epineurium, laying sutures through the nerve trunk or were united with tissue adhesive. A comparison of the results of clinical, electromyographic and histological studies demonstrated a superiority of suturing through the epineurium over the remaining methods. Regeneration processes appeared in these cases earliest and in the end result these processes were most complete.
