[Serial levels of HLP, SP1, SP3, and different proteins in pregnancy compared for their prognostic value (author's transl)].

A systematic study was carried out on a thousand samples in order to study the distribution of the levels of HPL, SP1 and SP3 in pregnancy. Levels of alpha feto-protein and of alpha antitrypsin as well as of orosomucoid were also studied but only in high-risk pregnancies. When a retrospective study had been carried out after delivery with the object of finding out the value of these levels it was shown that only the levels of SP1 and HLP were useful prognostically. SP1 levels were more reliable apparently as an indicator of feto-placental function. (HLP is the equivalent of HPL human placental lactogen. HP1 is pregnancy specific beta 4-glycoprotein and SP3 is alpha 2-acute phase glycoprotein).

[Simplified determination of proteinuria in children using a single urine sample].

In children and adolescents the evaluation of proteinuria is cumbersome because of the need to obtain timed urine collections. The protein/creatinine ratio (using a Coomassie blue binding technique and a kinetic Jaffe reaction, respectively) measured in 134 pediatric patients with renal disease aged 2 months to 16 years correlated closely with the overnight urine protein excretion rates using the statistical approach suggested by Bland and Altman to compare methods of measuring some quantity. The upper limit of urinary protein/creatinine ratio measured in 252 healthy children and adolescents aged 4 to 19 years was shown to be 19 mg/mmol. No age-related differences in urinary protein excretion were noted in healthy subjects. The random urine protein/creatinine ratio provides an accurate assessment of quantitative protein excretion and avoids errors and difficulties associated with timed urine collection.

[Psychotherapy in comparison: have all really earned a prize?].

The aim of the project is a comprehensive analysis of psychotherapeutic outcome research from a differential perspective. All controlled psychotherapy outcome studies which have been published until 1983 (n = 897) were carefully analyzed with an especially developed assessment-manual. Special importance was laid on those features of the results that throw some light on the comparative effects and prescriptive criteria of the therapies under investigation and their preconditions in the experimental design, measurement and statistical analysis of the respective study. The procedure is described in detail. It results in a comprehensive report on the research which has been done and the results that have been found for each psychotherapy method. An example of such a report is given.

Metastatic spread of benign intracranial meningioma.

A case of benign meningioma of the superior sagittal sinus is reported, which recurred three times during a period of six years. At the time of the first recurrence the overlying bone was eroded and the tumor grew subcutaneously; the second recurrence was associated with a pulmonary metastatic deposit of extraordinary size. The literature dealing with remote extracranial spread of meningiomas is briefly reviewed.
