[Diagnosis and therapy of pulmonary sequestration (author's transl)].

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare malformation which is characterised by lacking connection to the bronchial system and by atypical arterial blood supply. Unidentifiable tumorous, cystic or infiltrative lung diseases, especially of the lower lobes, should always lead to aortography to exclude pulmonary sequestration.

[Pensions and adjustment to retirement of employed women].

The process of women's adjustment to retirement has been widely neglected by social scientists. Compared to men, women partly experience greater difficulty in adjusting to the retirement process, as the few studies on this subject have demonstrated. Results of a qualitative study are reported. The processes of early versus normal transition to retirement have been studied in former female employees of the German Federal Postal Administration. Despite similar life-styles and work biographies, different patterns of adjustment emerge due to health status and social experiences. These results stress the importance of a biographically based approach to the process of adjustment.

[Elderly working women--late stages of employment and transition to retirement].

The employment of elderly women has become increasingly important. Changes in employment patterns have led to an increase in the number of working middle-aged women, especially among women with children and families. The later employment years of middle-aged women are characterized by problems at work and in the labour market which are caused by insufficient skills and poor health. The transition to (early) retirement does not follow any specific patterns. It is shaped by health and financial conditions and family concerns. A large percentage of retired women have difficulties adjusting to retirement conditions. An analysis of this status passage must include all scopes of action of elderly employed women.
