[The importance of the anamnesis and the clinical and paraclinical examination methods in the diagnosis of internal diseases].

Data are available on the studies into the significance of case history, clinical and paraclinical examinations for a valid diagnosis of internal diseases. Clinical cases are presented where neglect of the disease history and detailed clinical examination brought about misdiagnosis. The role of paraclinical methods in diagnostic investigations is considered. It is emphasized that students should be better trained in patients' interviewing and clinical examination.

[Cortisol metabolism in hypertensive patients during the crisis period].

The examination was conducted in 67 patients with Stage II essential hypertension, aged 29 to 60 years (13 males and 54 females). Cortisol metabolism was assessed on the basis of a study of daily urine excretions of tetrahydrocortisol, tetrahydrocortisone, cortisol, cortisone, 17-oxy-11-desoxycortisol and of their ratio. It is found that in patients with Stage II essential hypertension, beyond the period of exacerbation, cortisol metabolism and the glucocorticoid function of the adrenal cortex are unchanged. During crises the gluococorticoid function of the adrenal cortex is activated, and some changes develop in cortisol metabolism. The severity of the crisis does not affect cortisol metabolism, but results in a growing total secretory activity of the adrenal cortex.
