Retrograde Venenokklusion - Zur Therapie der verlogenen Impotenz
1993
Retrograde occlusion of penile drainage veins can produce improvement in patients with impotence due to venous leaks. We performed 50 transfemoral and three transjugular procedures; 46 (86%) were technically successful. Clinical improvement was found in 24 out of the 46 procedures (52%). In 20 patients spontaneous intercourse became possible, in four this occurred after intracavernous injection of vaso-active substances. In eleven patients there was deterioration after one to twenty months; in seven this was treated by repeated venous occlusion. In 13 patients improvement has been maintained over a period of one to thirty months (average 10.5 months). There were no complications.
Gadolinium-DTPA (Magnevist®) als Kontrastmittel für die arterielle DSA
1994
16 DSA investigations using intra-arterial Gd-DTPA were performed on 12 patients. The contrast medium was administered either as a 0.5 molar gadolinium solution (commercially available) or diluted with distilled water to a 0.2-0.4 molar gadolinium solution. The injection was made either by pressure injector or by hand. The aortic arch, abdominal aorta and pelvic and lower limb arteries were examined. 14 of the 16 procedures were diagnostically adequate, but compared with iodinated contrast materials, contrast was less marked. There were no cardiovascular, neurological or allergic side effects. Three patients suffered a feeling of heat and one patient had mild pain during the injection. Even…
Selektive Blutentnahme aus dem Sinus petrosus inferior: Vergleich von CRF- und TRH-Stimulation
1993
In 10 patients with hypophyseal Cushing microadenomas, selective bilateral sampling from the inferior petrosal sinuses was performed and the effect of stimulation by iv TRH and CRF was compared. On the side of the microadenoma. ACTH concentration rose from 650 +/- 242 pg/ml to 2712 +/- 843 pg/ml following injection of CRF and 2025 +/- 242 pg/ml after TRH. Contralateral values were 165 +/- 79 pg/ml, 490 +/- 200 pg/ml and 165 +/- 72 pg/ml respectively. Prolactin concentration on the side of the adenoma was 98 +/- 49 ng/ml before stimulation, 236 +/- 62 ng/ml after CRF and 747 +/- 168 ng/ml after TRH. Contralateral concentration was 22 +/- 10 ng/ml, 64 +/- 19 ng/ml respectively. Sampling local…
Clinical evaluation of [68Ga]Ga-DATA-TOC in comparison to [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC in patients with neuroendocrine tumours
2019
Abstract Introduction [68Ga]Ga-DATA-TOC is a new radiolabelled somatostatin-analogue for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of neuroendocrine tumours. Its advantage over DOTA-conjugated compounds is the possibility for high-efficiency labelling with gallium-68 quickly at room temperature with high reliability and without the need for product purification, which enables the development of an instant kit-type labelling method. We evaluated its imaging characteristics in patients with neuroendocrine tumours in comparison to [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC. Methods 19 patients imaged with [68Ga]Ga-DATA-TOC were retrospectively analysed and uptake in normal tissues was compared with a group of 19 pati…
Pulmonary contusion: CT vs plain radiograms.
1989
In experimentally induced pulmonary contusions, CT (n = 27) and chest X-ray (n = 24) findings were compared with the findings at autopsy. Twenty-seven of 27 (100%) pulmonary contusions were visible by CT immediately after trauma compared with 9 of 24 (37.5%) in the chest X-ray. After 30 min follow-up, 18 of 24 (75%) lesions were seen on the plain film. Five of 24 (21%) contusions escaped detection on conventional radiographs. Computed tomography underestimated lesion size in 5 of 60 (8%) measurements, conventional radiographs in 21 of 36 (58%) measurements. Pathological examination never revealed a pulmonary contusion that was not demonstrated by CT. Therefore, pulmonary contusion seems unl…
Der Sicherheitsgurt: Auswirkungen auf das Verletzungsmuster von Autoinsassen
1993
Since 1984 the law concerning safety belts has been implemented; this paper deals with the findings in 386 victims of motor accidents who were x-rayed between 1981 and 1989. Minor injuries have been ignored. The number of passengers wearing belts increased by 30% after 1984. The number of passenger injuries did not decrease. Injuries directly caused by the belts included a small number of fractures of clavicles, the sternum and ribs and one pelvic fracture, one serious abdominal injury with tearing of the mesenteric artery and one ruptured spleen. An indirect result of wearing seat belts was a marked increase in cervical whiplash injuries and some increase in thoracic vertebral fractures. N…
Computertomographie der Atelektase
1987
After breathing pure oxygen, total atelectasis of one lung was produced in ten dogs; its development and regression was followed by CT and by conventional radiology. 30 seconds after cessation of ventilation, it was possible to show a rise in CT density of the atelectatic lung from -764 +/- 32 HU to -739 +/- 49 HU. The average time from the cessation of ventilation to total atelectasis averaged 5.5 +/- 1.1 minutes. The earliest sign on conventional radiographs was often seen after 30 seconds and usually after 60 seconds and consisted of mediastinal displacement. Extensive atelectasis regressed in only one out of six animals within one hour after resuming ventilation. The experimental method…
