    Notes: Abstract. The etiology of avascular necrosis (AVN) is multifactorial. Independent of its etiology and localization it shows typical pathologies and radiological images. In the early stages localized subchondral edema is characteristic. In 50 % of all cases accompanying joint effusion may be found. Due to necrosis of the cells of bone marrow and bone fibrovascular, reactions with hyperemia can be delineated. These reactions allow us to visualize necrosis indirectly. The best imaging methods are MRI and, to a lesser extent, bone scintigraphy. In later stages calcification as well as new bone formation and microfractures are typically demonstrated and visualized best with plain X-rays and CT. Why reparations in many cases, particularly in the hip, are incomplete and may stop in any stage is unknown. Over years clinically complete silent AVNs are not an uncommon finding. Prognosis depends on the localization and size of the AVN. The number of repair mechanisms is best outlined with contrast-enhanced MRI and return of fatty marrow.

    Notes: Abstract During in vitro tests, we exposed seven mechanical cardiac valves to a 1.5 Tesla magnetic field and measured their deflection and temperature changes during a gradient-echo sequence. We used a special suspension system which indicated and measured the largest deflection at the entrance to the tube and any deflections within the gradient field. A temperature sensor measured changes in temperature in the valve ring in both air and in a water bath during exposure to a high-frequency field. The Bjork-Shiley (Shiley Irvine, CA, USA) valve displayed the most deflection at the entrance to the coil, namely 1.8 mm. All the other valve models displayed less deflection. No deflection took place during gradient-echo sequences. Three valve models displayed an increase in valve ring temperature. The Medtronic valve displayed the largest increase with 0.6°C.

    Notes: Abstract. Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disorder that is characterized by reduced bone mass and a deterioration of bone structure which results in an increased fracture risk. Since the disease is preventable, diagnostic techniques are of major importance. Standard techniques determine bone mineral density, whereas some of the newer techniques focus on trabecular structure. This article reviews structure analysis techniques in the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Imaging techniques applied to the assessment of trabecular bone structure include conventional radiography, magnification radiography, high-resolution CT (HRCT) and high-resolution MR imaging (HRMRI). The best results were obtained using high-resolution tomographic techniques. The highest spatial resolutions in vivo were achieved using HRMRI. The most common texture analysis techniques that have been used are morphological parameters (analogous to bone histomorphometry). Fractal dimension, co-occurrence matrices, mathematical filter techniques and autocorrelation functions are more complex techniques. Most of the studies evaluating structure analysis show that texture parameters and bone mineral density both predict bone strength and osteoporotic fractures, and that combining both techniques yields the best results in the diagnosis of osteoporosis.

    Notes: Abstract Individual skull model fabrication was introduced into preoperative diagnostics in maxillofacial surgery in the mid-1980s. The aim of the present study was to collect information on the reproducibility of a skull model milled from hardened polyurethane foam. This model was based on the CT data of a real skull. Twenty comparative studies were carried out on both the model and the original skull, the model showing an average inaccuracy of 1.6 mm. The deviations ranged between 0.0 and 3.6 mm; the general trend favouring enlargements. The total deviation of the model as compared to the original skull was 1.8%. A convincing aspect of the model, which cannot be obtained by any other method, is its plasticity and the possibility of 3 D orientation on a lifesize model. This new method is already used in preoperative planning of corrections of post-traumatic defects and craniofacial deformities as well as in tumour surgery.

    Notes: Summary The neuroprotective effect of neurotrophic factors has been demonstrated in experimental cerebral ischaemia recently. These include nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and basic fibroblast growth factor (basic FGF). The neuroprotective effect of ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), however, has not been studied so far. We have examined the neuroprotective effect of recombinant rat CNTF in a rat forebrain ischaemia model. A continuous infusion of CNTF was started 1 week before the induction of ischaemia and continued until 1 week after the ischaemia. Reversible forebrain ischaemia was induced by 7 minutes of bilateral carotid occlusion with hypotension. Neuronal cell death in the hippocampal CA1 sector was evaluated 1 week after the ischaemia. For the control group artificial CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) was infused instead of CNTF. Per cent neuronal cell death was 83.4 ± 5.9% (mean ± SEM, n=5) in the control group, and 71.1 ± 10.0% (mean ± SEM, n=5) in the CNTF group. Although percentage of neuronal cell death was lower in the CNTF group, the difference was not statistically significant. This result suggests that the protective effect of CNTF in the rat forebrain ischaemia model may be limited compared with other neurotrophic factors. It is considered that the number of neurons protected by CNTF may be small.

    Notes: Summary Cortical blood flow (CoBF) monitoring with a thermal diffusion flow probe was performed during the clipping of aneurysms of the ICA and MCA regions, on a series of patients during the acute stage of subarachnoid haemorrhage. Emphasis was placed on the CoBF recovery after temporary clip release. Since the absolute value in this technique is unreliable, recovery of blood flow after temporary clipping is represented as %CoBF according to the following equation: %CoBF recovery = (CoBFpost-CoBFintra)/(CoBFpre-CoBFintra) Presumably, this parameter checks the patency of the concerned cerebral vessels during clipping and/or release. Percent recovery of more than 100%, indicating postischaemic reactive hyperaemia, was observed immediately after release of the temporary clips in 8 of the 9 cases evaluated. In one case, with prolonged temporary clipping (37 min), no immediate recovery was observed after clip release, suggesting no-reflow phenomenon. The value slowly recovered after local administration of papaverin and returned to the pre-occlusion level within 20 minutes. Thermal diffusion CoBF monitoring may be useful in detecting the possible no-reflow phenomenon, that may lead to ischaemic complication, even after successful aneurysm clipping.

    Notes: Summary  Purpose. To correlate the jugular bulb oxygen saturation (SjvO2) and brain tissue oxygen pressure (PbtO2) during carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) reactivity tests in severely head-injured patients.  Methods and Results. In nine patients (7 men, 2 women, age: 26±6.5 years, GCS of 6.5±2.9), a polarographic microcatheter (Clark-type) was inserted into nonlesioned white matter (frontal lobe). PbtO2 and SjvO2 were monitored simultaneously and cerebral vasoreactivity to CO2 and O2 was tested on days three, five and seven after injury. Simultaneous measurements of vasoreactivity by transcranial Doppler (TCD) were undertaken. A total of twenty-one CO2 and O2 reactivity tests were performed. Critical values of PbtO2 (〈15 mm Hg) during induced hyperventilation could be observed four times in two patients. High PbtO2 values up to 80 mm Hg were observed during hyperoxygenation (FiO2 100%). CO2 vasoreactivity by means of PbtO2 was absent in four tests in which measurements by TCD showed intact responses. A stronger correlation between SjvO2 and PbtO2 during the O2 reactivity tests was observed (r=0.6, p〈0.001), in comparison to values obtained during the CO2 reactivity tests (r=0.33, p〈0.001). In addition, there was no statistically significant correlation (r=0.22, p=0.26) between CO2 reactivity values measured by TCD (4.5±5.7%) and PbtO2 (3±2.8%).  Conclusions. Correlation between SjvO2 and PbtO2 during CO2 reactivity test is low, even if significant differences between normo- and hyperventilation values are present. In comparison to SjvO2, monitoring of PbtO2 might more accurately detect possible focal ischaemic events during rapidly induced hyperventilation in severely head-injured patients. The CO2 vasoreactivity by means of changes in Vm MCA seems to be higher in comparison to changes of PbtO2. These observations lead to the hypothesis that vasoreactivity measured by TCD overestimates the cerebrovascular response to CO2.
