[Anal hygiene in perianal skin diseases--compatibility of water moist and dry toilet paper].

The most common morphological changes in 485 of our ambulatory patients were found on external examination of the anal region (46%). These changes included erosions, fissur and eczema. Regarding the symptoms the predominant complaints were itching and burning in 42.1%. Anal hygiene after defaecation was most commonly done with dry toilet-paper (55%). A change in anal hygiene after defaecation relieves symptoms: By changing from water to moist toilet paper in 9%, from dry toilet paper to moist toilet paper in 30%, from moist toilet paper to water in 32%, an from dry toilet paper to water in 60%. These results confirm known facts regarding the influences of conserving agents an printing materials in dry (often recycled) and moist toilet papers on the skin. These side-effects to be even more pronounced in the compromised skin and suggest that anal hygiene should be done with water only.

[Diagnosis and therapy of hemorrhoids. New knowledge in sclerotherapy].

UNLABELLED: FUNDAMENTAL REMARKS: Successful treatment of hemorrhoids stands and falls with the correct diagnosis. MAIN TOPICS: Where conservative treatment measures are justified and surgical intervention can be foregone, new studies on the sclerotherapy of hemorrhoids have led to a change in therapeutic objectives. Accordingly, in the case of enlarged symptomatic hemorrhoids an attempt should not be made primarily to reduce their size; rather, the usually caudally displaced hemorrhoidal convolutes should be fixed again above the dentate line. This is achieved by injecting the sclerosant not as previously into the center of the hemorrhoid convolute, but into the base between hemorrhoids and the adjacent muscular layer. This does not lead to destruction of the hemorrhoids with possible impairment of their function, but to the desired fixation. In this way, irrespective of the degree of the hemorrhoidal disease the danger that, on defecation, the hemorrhoids are forced into the anal channel, is avoided. If the hemorrhoids cannot be fixed in the way described, only surgical measures will lead to success. CONCLUSIONS: Sclerotherapy of hemorrhoids should not be aimed at shrinking, but fixing them. Should the objective not be achieved after two or three treatment sessions, surgery should be considered.

[Effects of dopamine and orciprenalin on human metabolism (author's transl)].

10 healthy probands were given on several subsequent days by intravenous infusion lasting 20' only orciprenalin and dopamine in therapeutic doses of 0.1 mg/kg bodyweight and 0.5 mg, respectively. In all cases application of orciprenalin resulted in a significant rise of glucose, insuline, lactate and free fatty acids. By contrast, no such changes were observed after infusion of dopamine. This suggests that a rise of free fatty acids in the serum may be important for the occurrence of cardiac arrythmia.
