[Possibilities for the use of sonography in kidney injuries].

As a non-invasive, easily repeatable examination ultrasound can supplement or even replace angiography in cases of renal trauma. Since it is moreover cheap and quickly performable, an ultrasound examination should never be omitted when renal trauma is suspected. It does not matter whether it is performed before or after infusion urography; this will mainly depend on the facilities available. It must be stressed that ultrasound is diagnostic tool and that its full potential is only realized in combination with other diagnostic methods, e.g. urography, angiography, computerized tomography.

[Therapy of urinary tract infections with dibekacin].

The use of a new aminoglycosid antibiotic (dibekacin = Orbicin) in the treatment of severe urinary tract infections in a urological clinic is presented. After having given their written informed consent, 50 patients were treated with a dosage of 150-225 mg dibekacin, administered in three single daily doses. From a total of 41 mono-infections, asepsis could be attained in 70,7%, in 17,1% no effect could be observed and in 12,2% it came to a change of bacteria. From a total of 9 mixed infections, asepsis was observed only twice after the end of therapy. 87,5% of the patients reported about a far-reaching improvement or complete disappearance of clinical symptoms. In 2 cases allergic exanthema was observed. The local toleration was good. Disturbances of the otovestibular function were not registered.

[Long-term observations after adrenal surgery].

Long-term observations after adrenal surgery show different results according to indications for operations. The longest period of observation shows 8 patients with adrenal hyperplasia. In 3 of 4 bilaterally adrenalectomised patients no satisfactory results were obtained despite substitution treatment; 4 one-side adrenalectomised patients are in good condition. Operative results of 7 patients with benign phaeochromocytoma are satisfactory. Two patients with malignant phaeochromocytoma developed a local recidive and distant metastases. Carcinoma of the adrenal gland, if not hormonally active, were not diagnosed in early stage, 3 patients died from metastases within 3 years. A 2-years-old girl, who was operated on with hormonally active carcinoma, is in good condition 21 years later.
