    Notes: Total serum IgE, Phadiatop®, and the skin prick test (SPT) are commonly used to diagnose atopic diseases. However, no large study has ever been done to test their diagnostic efficiency. We studied the diagnostic value of these three atopic markers in 8329 well-randomized adults from the Swiss Population Registry. The prevalence of current allergic asthma (CAA) was 1.8% and of current allergic rhinitis (CAR) 16.3%. The prevalences of positive Phadiatop, positive SPT (at least, one out of eight SPT to common aeroallergens with a wheal of 〉3 mm), and positive total IgE (IgE 〉100 kU/1) were 29, 23, and 23%, respectively. To diagnose CAA and CAR. the sensitivity of Phadiatop was significantly higher than that of SPT (72.5% vs 65.4%, 77.1% vs 68.4% respectively; P〈0.01 and 〈0.001) and IgE (72.5% VA- 56.9%, 77.1% vs 43.9%, respectively; both p〈0.001). The sensitivity of SPT was significantly higher (68.4% vs 43.9% P〈0.001) than that of IgE to diagnose CAR. When CAA and CAR were excluded, the SPT specificity was significantly higher than that of Phadiatop (77.8% vs 71.9% and 85.9% vs 80.5%, respectively; both P〈0.001): when CAR was excluded, SPT was significantly higher than IgE (85.9 vs 81.4%; P〈0.001). SPT had significantly the best positive predictive value for CAA (5.2% for SPT vs 4.6% for both IgE and Phadiatop; both P〈0.001) and CAR (48.7% for SPT vs 43.5% for Phadiatop and 31.6% for IgE; both P〈0.001). The three markers of atopy had roughly the same negative predictive value (NPV) for CAA, but IgE had a significantly lower NPV for CAR than SPT and Phadiatop (88.1% vs 93.3% and 94.7%, respectively; both P〈0.001). The diagnostic efficiency of SPT was significantly higher than that of Phadiatop (83.1% vs 79.9% and 77.6 vs 71.9%, respectively; both F〈0.001) to diagnose CAR and CAA. IgE and SPT had equal efficiency (77.6%), which was significantly higher than that of Phadiatop, to diagnose CAA (71.9%; both P〈0.001). In conclusion, SPT have the best positive predictive value and the best efficiency to diagnose respiratory atopic diseases. Furthermore, SPT give information on sensitivity to individual allergens and should therefore be used primarily by clinicians to assess respiratory allergic diseases. Moreover, they are cheaper and provide immediate, educational information for both patient and physician.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The term ”juxta facet cyst” was coined in 1974 by Kao et al. and combines synovial cysts arising from the synovial outpouchings through areas of weakened or destroyed capsular tissue and ganglion cysts developing from mucinous degeneration of periarticular connective tissue. We have operated on 16 patients with juxta facet cysts during the last 3 years. One cyst was located in the thoracic spine, causing a transverse syndrome; 15 cysts were located in the lumbar spine, causing nerve root compression. Diagnosis was established preoperatively by MR in 10 and CT in 3 cases, respectively. The definite classification of the cystic processes was made by histopathologic examination. Surgical treatment consisted of resection of the cyst. Postoperatively, all but 2 patients were free of complaints and no recurrence was observed in the mean follow-up period of 15.5 months. Juxta facet cysts are an uncommon finding, but must be considered in the differential diagnosis of epidural compressive syndromes of the spine.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Der Terminus „Juxta-Facett-Zyste” wurde 1974 von Kao et al. geprägt und faßt Synovialzysten, die von der Synovia der degenerativ veränderten Intervertebralgelenke ausgehen, und Ganglionzysten, die durch mukoide Degeneration von periartikulärem Bindegewebe entstehen, zusammen. Wir behandelten in den letzten 3 Jahren 16 Patienten mit Juxta-Facett-Zysten. Eine thorakal gelegene Zyste führte zu einer Querschnittslähmung, die 15 lumbal gelegenen Zysten führten in 14 Fällen zu einem langsam progredienten, in einem Fall zu einem akuten Nervenwurzelkompressionssyndrom. Die Diagnose wurde präoperativ in 10 Fällen mittels MR und in 3 Fällen mittels CT gestellt; die endgültige Diagnose und Klassifikation erfolgte durch histopathologische Untersuchungen. Die Behandlung bestand in der mikrochirurgischen Resektion der Zyste. Nach einer mittleren Nachbeobachtungsdauer von 15,5 Monaten waren 87,5% der Patienten beschwerdefrei. In keinem Fall kam es zu einem Rezidiv. Juxta-Facett-Zysten sind selten, müssen aber in der Differentialdiagnose der spinalen epiduralen Kompressionssyndrome berücksichtigt werden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Background: Acute haemorrhages of the adrenals in a septicemia with meningococci have been a well-known complication. They have also been described in neonates for septicemia due to E. coli, staphylococci and streptococci. Case: We observed a fulminant lethal septic disease with bilateral acute haemorrhagic necrosis in a 14-day-old preterm infant. Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated from blood culture. Discussion: This is the first report on Waterhouse-Friderichsen-syndrome triggered by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Hintergrund: Akute Nebennierenblutungen sind bekannte Komplikationen der Meningokokkensepsis. Sie wurden auch bei Neonaten mit Sepsis durch E. coli, Staphylokokken und Streptokokken beschrieben. Fall: Wir beobachteten eine fulminante letal verlaufende Sepsis mit bilateraler hämorrhagischer Nekrose der Nebennieren bei einem 14 Tage alten Frühgeborenen. In der Blutkultur konnte Pseudomonas aeruginosa isoliert werden. Diskussion: Erstmals wird über ein Waterhouse-Friderichsen-Syndrom berichtet, das durch Pseudomonas aeruginosa ausgelöst wurde.

    Notes: Abstract. Characterization of the ability of interferons to induce immediate early genes led to the identification of the signal transducer and activators of transcription (STAT) signaling paradigm, where a single protein transduces signals directly from the receptor to the nucleus. Subsequent studies have determined that all cytokines transduce pivotal signals through at least one of the seven members of this STAT family. Notably, cytokines can be placed in functional subgroups based on the STATs they activate.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A 38-year-old man presented with an intracranial extra-axial tumour at the base of the left posterior fossa which proved to be a meningeal melanocytoma. Meningeal melanocytoma is a rare, benign melanotic tumour of the leptomeninges occuring predominantly in the posterior fossa or the upper spinal cord in adults. It shows characteristic cytologic features with isomorphic epitheloid or spindle-shaped cells, often with prominent nucleoli and a variable content of intracytoplasmic melanin. It usually lacks signs of malignancy such as high mitotic rate, necroses or infiltrative growth and shows a low labeling index in proliferation marker studies. Its immunohistological profile with S-100 protein-, vimentin- and HMB-45-positive tumour cells is similar to that of (primary or metastatic) malignant melanoma. This differential diagnosis is crucial because of the totally different therapeutic and prognostic implications. Therefore, everyone dealing with surgical neuropathology should be familiar with the rare, but clinically important diagnosis of meningeal melanocytoma.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Anhand einer eigenen Fallbeobachtung einer intrakraniellen, extraaxialen Raumforderung an der Basis der linken hinteren Schädelgrube bei einem 38 Jahre alten Mann wird die Tumorentität des meningealen Melanozytoms vorgestellt. Es handelt sich um eine seltene, gutartige melanotische Geschwulst der Leptomeningen, die vorwiegend in der hinteren Schädelgrube oder dem kranialen Rückenmark bei Erwachsenen auftritt. Der Tumor zeigt ein zytologisches Bild mit isomorphen epitheloiden oder spindelförmigen Zellen, die oft prominente Nukleolen und einen unterschiedlich ausgeprägten Gehalt an intrazytoplasmatischem Melanin aufweisen. Malignitätszeichen wie eine erhöhte Mitoserate, Nekrosen oder infiltratives Wachstum liegen im Regelfall nicht vor, und der Markierungsindex bei Proliferationsmarkeruntersuchungen ist niedrig. Das immunhistologische Profil des meningealen Melanozytoms mit S-100-Protein-, Vimentin- und HMB-45-Positivität entspricht dem des (primären oder metastatischen) malignen Melanoms. Diese Differentialdiagnose ist von entscheidender Bedeutung wegen der resultierenden völlig unterschiedlichen therapeutischen und prognostischen Konsequenzen. Daher sollte jeder, der neurochirurgische Biopsien beurteilt, mit der zwar seltenen, aber klinisch wichtigen Diagnose des meningealen Melanozytoms vertraut sein.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Tuberous sclerosis (McKusick number: 19110) is well documented as an inheritable autosomal dominant disorder. On the occasion of results of an autopsy of a male fetus (1950 g, 29th gestational week) we report on the very early onset of a giant cell astrocytoma (microcalzified focally) and a cystic kidney disorder which in association with this phacomatosis is described first for this age. Thus, based on sonography there is a new differential diagnosis for the weighty prenatal diagnosis of a “Potter syndrome” or of “cystic kidneys”. Moreover, on a chromosomal level we discuss possible connections between tuberous sklerosis and distinct forms of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, ADPKD.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die tuberöse Hirnsklerose (McKusick-Nummer: 19110) ist ein gut untersuchtes autosomal-dominant vererbtes Krankheitsbild. Anhand des Autopsiebefundes eines 1950 g schweren, männlichen Föten in der 29. Schwangerschaftswoche wird das sehr frühe Auftreten eines herdförmig mikrokalzifizierten Riesenzellastrozytoms und von zystischen Nierenveränderungen (letztere u. E. erstmals bei dieser Phakomatose für dieses Lebensalter beschrieben) dargestellt. Hieraus ergibt sich eine neue Differentialdiagnose für die folgenschwere pränatale sonographische Diagnose des „Potter-Syndroms“ oder der „Zystennieren“. Außerdem werden mögliche chromosomale Zusammenhänge der tuberösen Sklerose mit bestimmten Formen der „autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease“ (ADPKD) diskutiert.

    Notes: Abstract Presenting independently established discriminative stimuli in compound can substantially increase response rates under food and shock-avoidance schedules. To determine whether this effect extends to drug self-administration, rats were trained to press a lever to receive cocaine intravenously. A tone and a light were independently established as discriminative stimuli for cocaine self-administration, then presented in combination in a stimulus-compounding test. Compared to tone and light alone, the tone-plus-light compound stimulus increased responding approximately three-fold when cocaine was withheld during testing, and it increased drug intake approximately two-fold when cocaine was made available during testing. Compounding did not increase responding after training in a truly random control condition where tone and light were presented uncorrelated with the availability of cocaine. The results obtained with this animal model of drug abuse define conditions under which combinations of environmental stimuli might substantially increase human drug use.
