[Meniscus sonography. Analysis of results of a prospective study of 191 patients].

During the time of May 1989 until May 1990, 191 patients with clinically suspected meniscus lesions were sonographically examined. An arthroscopy was carried out on 49 patients, where this suspicion was found to be true. There was an accuracy of 78%. Through observations of wrong negative findings (22%), morphological changes were observed, of these, the real available sonographical findings were misinterpreted.

[Value of computerized tomography in advanced stomach carcinoma. Can diagnostic laparotomy be avoided?].

The value of preoperative computed tomography (CT) was analyzed in 40 patients with gastric carcinoma. Local tumor infiltration was correctly interpreted on CT in 90% of cases and involvement of lymph nodes in 72%. Distant metastases (liver, peritoneum) were recognized in 2 out of 9 patients. As the value of this method in assessment of resectability is limited, routine CT is not indicated in patients with gastric carcinoma.

CT in advanced gastric carcinoma: is exploratory laparotomy avoidable?

The value of CT in the staging and assessment of resectability is demonstrated in 40 patients with advanced gastric carcinoma. The accuracy of CT using the pTNM classification of gastric carcinoma was 90% in the T category, 52.5% in the N category, 80% in the M category, and 72.5% as regards the correct staging. CT estimation of resectability was 80% correct. Based on these results, exploratory laparotomy is essential to evaluate the operability of gastric carcinoma. Exploratory laparotomy can only be avoided in patients with a proximal gastric carcinoma with clear CT demonstration of organ infiltration, N3 lymph node metastases, and distant metastases.

[Effect of heparin-falithrome prophylaxis on the involution of the puerperal uterus].

Reported in this paper is a favourable side-effect of heparin-falithrome prophylaxis used to minimise the risk of thromboembolism to women in puerperium with pronounced varicosis or with a record of thromboembolism. Incidence of impaired involution of the uterus in puerperium, lochial congestion, endometritis, and, consequently, genitally caused fever in patients exposed to heparin action was found to be lower with significance than it had been among puerperal patients without such prophylaxis. The possible mechanism underlying that favourable side-effect, not reported elsewhere in the past, is discussed in greater detail in this paper.
