1637 patients of a department for lung tuberculosis were tested for HBs-antigen. 32 patients (1.95%) were found to be HBs-antigen-positive. This incidence is higher than in patients of an internal clinic and much higher than in the middle-european population at the same time. In no positive case acute hepatitis could be diagnosed. The hospitalization time was prolonged in the positive cases.

The autopsy findings in 202 cases of small cell carcinoma of the lung are analyzed. The distribution of hematogenous metastases is compared with the findings of other investigators. Summarizing the autopsy findings in 975 cases the incidence of metastases in liver, bone marrow, adrenals and brain is shown. The prophylactic brain irradiation as routine regimen in small cell carcinomas of the lung cannot really improve the results of treatment since only 25% of all cases have metastases in the brain.

The clinical symptoms of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, transferred from other hospitals to the Pulmological Center of Vienna, were analyzed. Among 373 transferred patients there were 113 cases (30.3%) of pulmonary tuberculosis. A significant change in the range of symptoms between the examined period (1976/77) and former periods could be shown. By a more accurate regard of the symptoms a primary admission to pulmonary center should be possible in about half the cases and the interval between the primary symptoms and the initial treatment would be shortened in this way. It seems, that tuberculosis of the lung as common sickness only has historical significance, as acute illness of single patient it is still important.

T4 dC-DNA was digested with the restriction endonucleases BglII, SalI and XhoI. Overlaps in the three sets of fragments allowed the mapping of all restriction sites relative to each other along the T4 genome.
All medical students in a six-week psychiatric clerkship met once a week in "experiential groups." One week after the last group session a concluding and evaluative discussion was held. A detailed description of the students' responses and reactions is given. The results indicate that for the majority of the students, the experiential group was the most significant personal and learning experience they had during the clerkship. It effected better interpersonal communication among the students and improved their humane skill, empathy, and sensitivity.

The clinical picture of acute tuberculosis infection is undergoing a change. The classic symptoms of pain in the chest and night sweats are giving way to general symptoms. In 50% of the cases the infection manifests itself as an acute disease. The observation that some cases of tuberculosis are not admitted to hospital until they are in a critical condition is ascribed to lack of "tuberculosis awareness".
We did a pilot study in 35 pretreated cases with disseminated metastatic breast cancer. These patients got a therapy of about 20 mg/day. We evaluated objective remissions, but also subjective responses. In good correlation to similar trials we found benefits in 35%.
