[Frequency of Lewis blood groups and ABH and Lewis substance secretion in Schleswig-Holstein].

According to the hypothesis of Ceppellini and Morgan the Lewis blood groups are formed by the secondary attachment of the Lewis substances to the red blood cells and this process is genetically controlled by the genes of the ABH und Lewis(a)-substance secretion (SE, se, L and 1). The correctness of this hypothesis is demonstrated by determination of the Lewis blood groups and the ABH and Lewis secretor status with different suitable antisera and by estimation of the gene frequencies Se, se, L and 1 in a sample of 382 blood donors from Schleswig-Holstein and by determination of the same groups in 73 pairs of parents with 156 children. There are no significant differences between observation and expectation in the sample as well as in the family investigation and there are no critical pairs of parents having children with "impossible" Lewis blood group. The results suggest to make more use of the Lewis blood groups.

Enteroclysis: double contrast examination of the small bowel.

Enteroclysis is a double contrast study of the small bowel. This procedure allows the radiologist to evaluate the small bowel for disease processes including Crohn's disease, Meckel's diverticulum, and malabsorption diseases--all disease processes sometimes missed through single contrast SBFT. Through the use of enteroclysis, the radiologist can detect mucosal fold pattern changes, ulceration of the lumen, dilation of the loops, and intussusception, which can cause an obstruction. Even though the procedure is costly and time consuming, it provides a more accurate evaluation of the small bowel.

Dynamic imaging of the wrist.

Dynamic imaging of the wrist can be performed through the use of fluoroscopy, arthrography, and arthrotomography. These methods of imaging have proved valuable in the diagnosis of many pathologic conditions of the wrist. Fluoroscopy has proved valuable as it captures the kinematics of the wrist. Arthrography utilizes contrast media to demonstrate anatomic structures not normally visualized on plain radiographs. Last, the technique of arthrotomography improves evaluation by helping to eliminate the problem of superimposition of structures within the wrist. Dynamic imaging of the wrist has proved to be a valuable tool in the diagnosis of chronic conditions of the wrist.
