    Sonographische Verlaufsbeobachtungen von Bauchaortenaneurysmen (1984)

    Notes: Summary Forty-two patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm that had not been treated surgically were repeatedly examined by ultrasonography. The average observation time of all patients was 3.1 years. The total observation period including follow-up times of all patients adds up to 129 “patient years”. Within this time none of the 35 asymptomatic abdominal aneurysms with transversal diameters of maximally 5 cm ruptured. Three patients of seven with larger and symptomatic aneurysms died in consequence of a rupture. Small asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms seem to have a better prognosis than previously supposed. The question whether all abdominal aneurysms should be operated on needs reconsideration, especially in the elderly.

    HTLV-III antibody prevalence among young delinquent drug abusers in long-term residential treatment at a north-German drug clinic (1987)

    Notes: Summary To date, long-term intravenous drug users studied at regional European centers of illicit drug use have had a high number of LAV/HTLV-III infections. Among 200 patients remanded by court or referred from prison to a special clinic in northern Germany for young delinquent drug abusers, 26 (17%) of 157 IV drug abusers were HTLV-III seropositive. With 40% seropositive, female patients showed a significantly higher prevalence of HTLV-III infection than males. The results of longitudinal serological, immunological, and clinical observations over periods of 12 months and 2–3 years indicate that under conditions of continuous medical surveillance, sound preventive counseling, and steady therapeutic care during long-term coeducative residential treatment of drug abusers, neither detectable HTLV-III transmission nor definite progression of HTLV-III induced impairment of immune regulatory functions must ensue.

    Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke in adults: two cases (1993)
    Springer
    Journal of neurology 240 (1993), S. 219-222

    Notes: Abstract Two previously healthy women are described who in their late thirties suffered transient strokelike episodes, consisting of initial headache and vomiting, with various subsequent neurological signs that were only partially reversible. Investigations revealed elevated serum creatine kinase, lactic acidosis, hypertriglyceridaemia, and ragged red fibres in the muscle biopsy specimens. In both patients in vitro studies were performed on intact muscle mitochondria and muscle homogenate. Only in one was a mitochondrial defect found, located at the level of coenzyme Q. We conclude that these patients suffered from adult-onset mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and strokelike episodes (MELAS syndrome). Although the syndrome is often associated with long-standing neurological multisystem disease from childhood onwards, it should also be suspected in adults with strokelike signs of otherwise unexplained origin.
