摘要:

A total of 132 children, less than 15 years of age at the time of diagnosis of an intracranial supratentorial tumor, were followed from 1 to 40 years. the patient material was unselected and the follow‐up 100 %. 73 were boys and 59 were girls. the tumors were located in the lateral region of the brain in 70 children and in the midline in 62. Astrocytoma was the most common histological type, followed by craniopharyngioma. the occurrence of the most malignant tumor types was significantly higher in the lateral than in the midline region. 84 children survived for more than 1 month after the initial diagnosis or surgery, and 29 of these were alive 15 to 40 years after operation. 45 % of the children with tumors situated laterally and 30 % of those with midline tumors were alive after 15 years. 14 % of those who survived at least 15 years had severe and 34 % slight neurological defect

摘要:

The clinical features of 102 cases with transient attacks due to cerebral ischemia were evaluated, and 94 out of 102 cases were followed for an average of 6 years.1) the clinical study makes comparisons between two groups of patients grouped under the somewhat new definition of Reversible Ischemic Attacks (RIA): classical Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA) and Stroke with Full Recovery (SFR), in which a complete recovery took place over a longer period, on the average 3 weeks.2) SFR constitutes the 34.31% of the total cases with transient ischemic episodes. In the carotid district the onset was more frequently gradual in SFR than in TIA and aphasia more frequent in TIA than in SFR. Multiple attacks prevailed in TIA over the SFR group. the definition of transient attack due to ischemia is discussed.3) Completed strokes occurred in 11 cases (11.7%) with RIA. Hypertension and cardiac disease were significantly frequent in cases with subsequent stroke.The conclusion was reached that TIA is a symptom, not a pathological state, and TIA should be considered an important symptom but not a specific harbinger of completed stroke.

摘要:

Ninety‐six joints of 25 patients with hepatolenticular degeneration have been studied by means of scintigraphs with technetium (99mTc), a method which can disclose early synovial inflammation and postinflammatory articular degeneration. Signs of synovitis were found in 22 joints of 10 patients (40%) and degenerative changes were present in 15 joints of eight patients (32%). Eleven patients complained of joint pains; in four of them they were the presenting symptom. the radiological study showed osteoporosis in 22 patients (88%); flexion deformity was found in two cases, anomalous osteophytes in two, and signs of growth arrest, features of rheumatoid arthritis and aseptic necrosis in one case each. the pathogenesis of osteoarticular changes in Wilson's disease is discusse

摘要:

The growth hormone release inhibiting hormone acts probably both as a true hypophysiotropic hormone and as a neuroregulatory substance. Neurophysiological studies have shown that somatostatin is a CNS depressant. Somatostatin might therefore be of therapeutic significance in neurological diseases.Sixteen patients with different extrapyramidal disorders and seven patients with various EEG abnormalities were tested with 2‐hour somatostatin infusions and control infusions with saline.Somatostatin did not induce any improvement or deterioration of symptoms, signs, or EEG abnormalities in any patien
