[Cutaneous histiocytosis X].

Histiocytosis X comprises three clinical entities whose common substrate is a localized or systemic proliferation of atypical histiocytes. On the basis of the age of manifestation, acuity of the clinical course and organ involvement Abt-Letterer-Siwe's disease, Hand-Schüller-Christian's disease and eosinophilic granuloma can be differentiated from each other, although transitional varieties of these syndromes are possible. Not infrequently oligosymptomatic forms are misinterpreted, especially when the skin is the only involved organ. In the following case report cutaneous histiocytosis X will be discussed in terms of its clinical expression. Electron-microscopy has proved to be the best methods to make the diagnosis of such atypical cases.

[Does myocardial damage arise as a result of administration of tocolytic drugs? (author's transl)].

Fifty pregnant women admitted consecutively on account of threatened abortion or premature labour and treated with Ritodrine and Verapamil intravenously in the usual dosage were investigated with respect to creatine kinase activity and, in the event of a raised level, its isoenzyme creatine kinase--MB. Determinations were carried out before treatment and, in accordance with expected peak values in case of myocardial necrosis, after 6 and 12 hours. Three pathological values were recorded and these are discussed individually. Furthermore, statistical evaluation of the recorded values showed no significant differences.

[Determination of the heart minute volume by impedance cardiography: a way to prophylaxis of premature birth? (author's transl)].

30 gravid women between the ages of 18 and 38 years who had gone into premature labour of unknown etiology were examined with respect to cardiac output and various other cardiovascular parameters in the standing, supine and left lateral positions. Measurements were carried out using an impedance-cardiography. A group of 30 women of similar age and duration of pregnancy but not in premature labour was also tested as controls. In the standing position, the test group showed a cardiac output which was 15% less than that of the controls. Statistically this was highly significant (p less than 0.005). No difference was found in the supine and left lateral positions. These results are in agreement with the literature, but with the method used in this study, an invasive, or X-Ray procedure is avoided. The physiology of the cardiovascular system in pregnancy and the means by which premature labour may be prevented, are discussed.
