Auditory brainstem responses in leptomeningeal metastatic spread. Presentation of 2 cases.

Auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) were recorded in 2 patients with hearing loss caused by leptomeningeal metastatic spread. These recordings showed similar characteristic findings. The absolute latencies of wave V and interwave latencies I-V were exceedingly increased. Definite effects on the wave morphology and latency of wave V were observed with the use of high repetition rates. It is surmised that the hearing loss caused by leptomeningeal metastatic spread is mainly an effect on the auditory nerve and/or the cochlear nucleus. ABR examination is of clinical value in detecting functional abnormalities resulting from leptomeningeal metastatic spread.

[Practical value of LDH-X determination for the detection of sperm traces].

The examination of 38 stains collected in sexual offences provided spermatozoa-positive, LDH-X-negative results in 4 samples and spermatozoa-negative, LDH-X-positive results in 6 samples. The results suggest that besides the microscopic detection of spermatozoa the demonstration of LDH-X should be performed in medicolegal identification of seminal stains.

[C7 typing of blood stains using isoelectric focusing and immunoblotting].

By means of isoelectric focusing and immunoblotting C7 types were clearly demonstrated from bloodstains which had been stored at 37 degrees C for up to three weeks, at room temperature for up to six weeks and at 4 degrees C for over ten weeks. The C7 typing is practically useful in medicolegal individualization of unknown bloodstains.
