[Early diagnosis of primary chronic glomerulonephritis in the latency stage].

In 74 of 195 patients with isolated proteinuria and/or haematuria investigated by means of renal biopsy laser-nephelometric determinations of the concentrations of albumin, alpha2-macroglobulin, transferrin, IgG, IgA and IgM in the urine were performed. Their result was that patients with chronic interstitial nephritis or chronic glomerulonephritis by increased concentration of albumin, transferrin, IgG and IgA statistically ascertained differ from patients with normal renal tissue or slight glomerular abnormalities.

[Ampicillin associated acute interstitial nephritis with renal insufficiency--case report].

It is reported on a 20-year-old male patient, in whom during the treatment of a streptococcal infection with ampicillin an exanthem and an acute interstitial nephritis with acute renal insufficiency appeared. The temporary connection between the application of the medicament and the occurrence of the clinical symptoms and the sensitization to ampicillin proved by the lymphocyte transformation test speak for an ampicillin-induced interstitial nephritis. The discontinuation of the treatment with ampicillin and the application of prednisolone led to a complete involution of the clinical picture. Since ampicillin is frequently used in the clinic one should take into consideration in the indication that possibly an acute renal insufficiency may appear due to an acute interstitial nephritis.

Echolocation by young bats on their initial and subsequent flights.

This study documents developmental changes in the vocal reaction of bats to obstacles and describes the pulse patterns of young bats on their 1st and subsequent flights. The pulse repetition rate of young bats showed an increase just before the bats approached obstacles. This pattern differs from that of older bats. The distance at which the change in pulse repetition rate occurs is roughly twice as far from the obstacle in adults as it is in young bats. Even on their 1st flights young bats (25-29 days old) seemed to perform better than chance. This capability seems to be resistant to environmental manipulation during the preweaning period.
