    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The effect of Levamisole on the human granulopoiesis was studied in patients randomized to receive, in addition to adjuvant chemotherapy for primary breast cancer, either no other treatment or additional unspecific immune therapy with Levamisole. The reaction of granulopoiesis to the cytostatic drugs, as characterized by changes of peripheral blood polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN), functional bone marrow granulocyte reserve, serial bone marrow cytology, and granulopoietic stem cells (CFU-C) in marrow and blood, was not affected by administration of Levamisole. The data support the concept that Levamisole has no direct effect on human bone marrow granulopoiesis, but that an allergic mechanism is involved in the pathogenesis of Levamisole-induced agranulocytosis. The expectation that Levamisole exerts a beneficial effect by stimulation of the granulopoiesis, as previously suggested for BCG and Corynebacterium parvum, could not be substantiated in our studies.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung von Laevamisol auf die menschliche Granulopoese wurde bei Patientinnen untersucht, die nach operativer Behandlung eines primären Mammakarzinoms adjuvant chemotherapiert und bei denen ein Teil zusätzlich mit Laevamisol als einem unspezifischen Immunstimulans behandelt wurden. Die Reaktion der Granulopoese auf die zytostatische Therapie,- Veränderungen des peripheren Granulozytenpools, der funktionellen Granulozytenreserve des Markes, der Knochenmarkszytologie und der granulopoetischen Stammzellen (CFU-C) in Mark und peripherem Blut, — wurden durch die Gabe von Laevamisol nicht beeinflu\t. Diese Untersuchungen stehen mit der Vorstellung im Einklang, da\ Laevamisol keine direkte Schädigung der Granulopoese verursacht, sondern da\ ein allergischer Mechanismus der Laevamisol-Agranulocytose zugrunde liegt. Eine günstige Wirkung durch Stimulation der Granulopoese, wie sie für BCG und Corynebacterium parvum angenommen wurde, konnte für Laevamisol unter den Bedingungen dieser Studie nicht gefunden werden.

    Notes: Abstract  The goal of the project was to integrate essential elements of palliative care into the regular duties of an internal ward located in a general hospital serving a rural area. To achieve this goal, the medical and nursing staff was moderately expanded, which was made possible by a grant from the Deutsche Krebshilfe, and training and supervision were instituted. Patients with malignant diseases in advanced and terminal phases were enrolled in the project and evaluated using a specifically designed documentation system. On average, 8.5 (18%) of the 46 beds on the ward were occupied by patients being cared for as part of the project at any one time. Effective relief of pain, nausea and respiratory distress were documented. For those dying in the hospital, a single room and the presence of family members were possible in the majority of cases. A high impact on the team became apparent through an anonymous questionnaire given during supervision. The project shows that it is possible to integrate palliative care into the work of a regular internal medical ward, with positive consequences for the patients and the team.
