[Onychomycosis: experiences with atraumatic nail avulsion].

Patients with onychomycosis (tinea) of finger- and toenails underwent combined treatment: avulsion of nail plate, local antimycotic and systemic griseofulvin treatment. Avulsion of the involved nails was performed by the patients themselves chemo-mechanically using 50% KI-ointment. 1,500 nails were successfully removed. Out of 250 patients 101 were clinically and mycologically cured after a median delay of 6.5 months. Only 50% of the 101 patients remained cured up to one year after cessation of therapy. Atraumatic nail avulsion in combination with chemotherapy is a reliable, inexpensive, painless, and effective alternative method to surgical excision treating onychomycosis.

High-grade malignant lymphoma arising from Sézary's syndrome. A case report.

Skin infiltrates and tumors characteristic of mycosis fungoides, together with other clinical features typical of Sézary's syndrome (such as erythroderma, itching and Sézary cells in the peripheral blood), were found in a 76-year-old female. Histologically, there was a shift from a well-differentiated to a poorly-differentiated lymphoblastic infiltration indicating the transformation from a low-grade to a high-grade malignant (T-cell) lymphoma.

[Oral kallikrein-therapy of asthenozoospermia].

Over a period of 7 weeks 51 men with idiopathic asthenozoospermia were treated with Kallikrein (600 Kallikrein units per day). A statistically significant improvement of sperm motility was observed with a maximum 1 month after the therapy. The conception rate was 31%. Stimulation of sperm motility may be caused by a positive effect on spermatogenesis, by an improvement of the nutritional functions of the tubulus apparatus and by an improvement of sperm maturation in the eqididymis.

[Circumscribed skin necroses following intramuscular injections. Review and case reports].

In rare instances local hemorrhagic necroses may be observed after intramuscular injection. The clinical features of this side reaction - lividoid dermatitis progressing to hemorrhagic necrosis and prolonged wound healing - are presented in the light of four of our own observations. With regard to the etiology, functional vascular spasm, embolism or/and local thromboses are discussed.
