[Improvement in noninvasive diagnosis of the greater and lesser saphenous vein insufficiency with duplex sonography].

When compared with the phlebogram, the duplex examination proves to be a suitable procedure for diagnosing the incompetence of the junction of the long saphenous vein and of the short saphenous vein. The sensitivity and the specificity of the duplex at the junction of the long saphenous vein amounts to 0.96 and 0.75 respectively and at the junction of the short saphenous vein they are 0.90 and 0.67 respectively.

Peripheral T lymphocytopenia under exogenous thermal stress.

A transient decrease in T lymphocytes in peripheral blood was observed in twelve healthy volunteers immersed in hot water baths which raised their mean rectal temperature by 1.35 C. T lymphocytes declined from 59 to 41 rel % (2p less than 0.001) or from a mean of 1990 to 1300 per mm3. T lymphocytopenia was accompanied by a relative increase in the fraction of B lymphocytes. Total lymphocyte count remained unchanged. In vitro heating alone to 39 C did not influence the total of SRBC-labelled lymphocytes. The findings are interpreted to be the result of a change in lymphocyte distribution with increased recirculation of mobile T lymphocytes.

[Quantitative changes in peripheral T-lymphocytes during hyperthermia (author's transl)].

A uniform, highly significant fall in T-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood, without any change in the absolute lymphocyte count occurred in 6 healthy test subjects in a standardized hyperthermal bath with a mean rise in the rectal body temperature of 1.35 degrees C. A redistribution from the blood into the tissue structures of the rapidly recirculating T-lymphocytes in the body is assumed. The clinical significance of this redistribution cannot yet be stated. With increased recirculation of immunoreactive T-lymphocytes an increased contact with antigenic material in the tissues traversed would be possible. This could be the basis of the "immunostimulation" during hyperthermia assumed by some authors.
