[C0Q10 in the prevention and treatment of primary osteoporosis. Preliminary data].
Preliminary data are reported of an as yet uncompleted clinical study aimed at evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of C0Q10 for primary osteoporosis. In spite of the small number of subjects treated (only 5) the results obtained are evidence of the efficacy of this agent which had never before been used in the therapy of osteoporosis. The possible mechanisms of action C0Q10 are discussed in the light of an original interpretation of the etiopathogenesis of this very complex bone disease. Details of the study will be reported once the trial has been completed.
[Percussion-auscultation syndrome of carnitine deficiency].
Up till now it has been possible to demonstrate carnitine deficiency, after separating non esterified carnitine and acyl-carnitines, by some sophisticated assays: photometric methods, enzymatic and radio-enzymatic-methods, gas chromatography, HPLC, mass spectrometry. This diagnostic approach is not easy for the general practitioner; therefore, the diagnosis of carnitine deficiency is often delayed and delegated to the specialist. In this paper signs of the syndrome and how to find them by the aid of auscultatory percussion are fully described for the first time. This knowledge will be helpful to the general practitioner both from technical point of view--diagnosis of carnitine deficiency--and for monitoring the results of therapy.
[Ketanserin, an antagonist of 5-HT2 serotoninergic receptors and free-radical scavenger].
The authors describe an original clinical method of auscultatory percussion which is easily performed and reliable for bedside evaluation of tissue Co Q10, tissue acidosis, endothelial damage, free radicals and microcirculatory functional reserve. They report data observed in 25 arteriosclerotic patients treated with ketanserin which show the drug to be an excellent scavenger of free radicals.
[Early clinical diagnosis of osteoporosis using auscultatory percussion. Therapeutic monitoring].
The authors describe the auscultatory percussion method, easy to perform and reliable in early bed-side diagnosis of osteoporosis, even if asymptomatic. In addition, the great importance of early diagnosis in preventing fractures complicating osteoporosis is underlined. The results obtained with prompt administration of current therapy in 25 cases, diagnosed with the aid of auscultatory percussion, are reported. Finally, practical use of this method for both therapeutic monitoring and individual prescription of drugs, is emphasized.

[Percussion auscultation of transient ischemic attacks. Role of cerebral evoked potentials].
The auscultatory percussion signs present during so called transitory ischaemic attacks are described. Long experience has revealed the identification of cerebral evoked potentials to be particularly valuable, both in confirming diagnosis and monitoring treatment. "Bed-side" identification of cerebral evoked potentials is an extension of physical symptomatology as applied to diseases of the nervous system. Finally, differential diagnosis with cerebral tumours often associated with enigmatic phenomena is discussed.
