Cerebral blood flow in autogenic training and hypnosis.

1987

In 12 healthy volunteers with at least an experience of six months in autogenic training (AT), the cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured at rest, in AT and in hypnosis (H). The results were correlated with individual test profiles. The cortical flow pattern at rest of our AT trained volunteers did not show the hyperfrontality which is described in the literature. This may be interpreted as an effect of better and habitualized relaxation in long trained AT practitioners. This flow pattern corresponds to the low grades of neuroticism and aggressivity found in the tests. Furthermore an activation in central cortical areas and a deactivation in regions which are associated with acoustic and au…

Clinical follow-up after surgery of lumbar disc prolapses. A critical analysis.

1990

A retrospective clinical study was made on 987 patients with lumbar disc disease treated by discectomy. All patients had been operated on in the Department of Neurosurgery (University-Hospital Mainz). 545 patients were males, and 442 females (1.2:1). Patients in the 4th decade of life were affected most often (33.5%). Perioperative complications occurred in 5.4%, with discitis as the single major complication (1.9%). 83% of all patients who underwent discectomy could return to their normal occupation.

Cerebral blood flow, computerized tomography and angiography in 562 cases of cerebrovascular insufficiency

1987

The measurement of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in addition to cerebral computerized tomography (CT) and angiography is most reliable in cases of transient ischemic attacks (TIA) and prolonged reversible ischemic neurologic deficits (PRIND). Alterations of CBF can be detected in symptom-free intervals. The cerebrovascular reactivity to CO2 stimulus is regarded as an especially suitable tool to prove the cerebrovascular reserve. If it is diminished, cerebral angiography should be carried out since it will often show major obstructive lesions. Angiography shows no sure correlation between CBF and collateral circulation. Strong opthalmic pathways in unilateral occlusion of the internal carotid ar…
