[Surveillance of uncomplicated type 2 diabetes].

Follow up in type 2 diabetes must be regular with an annual check-up and pluriannual consultations of adapted frequency. It's important to consider the diabetic patient in totality: reaching the previous objectives of weight and glycaemia, all vascular risk factors and evolution to complications. Some tests are necessary (retin exam, microalbuminuria, ECG...), but with an attentive clinic exam we can avoid many useless and expensive paraclinic explorations. It's also a motivation tool for patients.

[Functional spiral CT in after-care of irradiated laryngeal carcinomas].

The importance of spiral-CT is clinically accepted for diagnosing spreading disease and for making a decision about the therapy strategy for head and neck tumors. Its importance for follow-up after radiotherapy was examined in 26 patients with irradiated laryngeal tumors. Using spiral-CT multiple signs of alterations (n = 98) can be diagnosed, which are not only important for tumour relapse, but also for assessment. Spiral-CT offers the possibility of achieviny various additional information about the larynx that cannot be obtained with laryngoscopy. In follow-up examinations after radiation, laryngoscopy and spiral-CT are recommended as an integrated neck examination using the breath-holding technique (separately reconstructed) and also as functional spiral-CT of the vocal cords in "I"-phonation.
