[Laparoscopic peroperative cholangiography--indications and significance].

The authors have performed 35 peroperative laparoscopic cholangiographies by means of transcystic cannylation of the choledochus in 410 patients subdued to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Choledocholelithiasis was found in 8 patients (22.85%). The authors advocate for the application of peroperative cholangiography in indicated cases since the method is simple, safe and sufficiently successful. (Tab. 5, Ref. 9.)

[The startle response and epilepsy].

Startle responses (SR) are described as epileptic and non-epileptic attacks and their mechanisms are poorly understood. Long-loop reflexes and a satisfactory response to L-tryptophan treatment have only seldom been published in this condition. This prompted us to report a case with epilepsy and startle-induced tonic spasms, the latter refractory to all conventional medication except for L-tryptophan. Special emphasis is placed on the electrophysiological findings. Similar observations of non-habituation of SR in post-anoxic brain damage and in the case of startle epilepsy possibly suggest a deficit of cortical inhibition, probably in the supplementary motor area, rather than brain stem dysfunction in both instances.

Transcranial electrical motor evoked potentials as a prognostic indicator for motor recovery in stroke patients.

Transcranial electrical motor evoked potentials (MEP) were examined in 33 patients within three days after stroke. Normal values for MEP and motor central conduction time (CCT) were obtained in 46 healthy controls whose MEPs were evaluated during slight voluntary muscle contraction and at rest. Two months later 23 patients were re-examined clinically and electrophysiologically. Motor function change was correlated with MEP results. Two months after stroke the patients with normal or prolonged CCT had an improved motor function compared with those with absent CCT. MEP may be a valuable prognostic indicator in the acute stage of paralytic stroke for recovery of motor function.
