    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Clinical studies are usually conceived of as controlled randomized trials, as retrospective patient statistics or as single case reports. However, such a classification is too narrow and overlooks many other forms of study designs. This review, therefore, offers a more encompassing and practical classification of clinical studies for the field of emergency medicine. Randomized controlled trials fulfill scientific criteria at the highest level (gold standard): comparison, repeatability, objective measurement. At the same time, randomized trials also have to comply with demanding ethical criteria and must be justifiable in the individual patient. Therefore, comparable uncertainty with regard to the superiority of the treatment options under investigation is a sine qua non. In addition to randomized trials, six other groups of clinical trials have the potential to solve scientific questions in emergency medicine: observational studies, decision analysis, meta analysis, public health care studies, case reports and descriptive summary statistics and studies on ethical problems. This variability in trial designs calls for a clinically oriented methodologist; the concept and institutionalization of theoretical surgery has been a response to this demand. All study types in this review are illustrated by examples in emergency medicine. Literature for advanced reading in particular trial methodologies can be found in the reference list. A checklist summarizes all elements for designing and conducting randomized trials in emergency medicine. All clinical trials striving for a high standard of quality – whether randomized or not – depend on the following prerequisites: professional organization, time effort, a supportive social environment and a scientific culture.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Bei klinischen Studien wird in erster Linie an kontrollierte randomisierte Studien, an retrospektive Serienberichte und an Einzelfallberichte gedacht. Diese Klassifikation ist aber viel zu eng und übersieht die vielen Möglichkeiten und Notwendigkeiten von andersartigen Studienplänen und -durchführungen. Prospektive kontrollierte randomisierte Studien sind experimentelle Studien an Patienten mit dem höchsten Anspruch an Wissenschaftlichkeit (Goldstandard), aber nur unter strengsten ethischen Prämissen: therapeutische Vertretbarkeit im Hinblick auf den jeweiligen Patienten und deshalb vergleichbare Ungewißheit für die Überlegenheit eines Verfahrens am einzelnen Patienten. Daneben gibt es sechs weitere Gruppen von Studienarten, die für die Lösung notfallmedizinischer Probleme benötigt werden, und diese Gruppen haben eine Serie von speziellen Ausprägungen. Dies macht den anwendungsorientierten klinischen Methodiker so notwendig, die Entwicklung der Theoretischen Chirurgie findet darin ihre Erklärung. Für jede Studienart werden in dieser Übersicht Beipiele aus der Notfallmedizin und Literaturstellen angegeben, wo das methodische Rüstzeug für die speziellen Studienausprägungen zu finden ist. Eine Checkliste für die Planung einer randomisierten kontrollierten Studie schließt die Arbeit ab, zusammen mit dem Beispiel der Mainz-Marburg Studie zum perioperativen Risiko. Alle klinischen Studien mit Qualität, nicht nur die kontrollierten randomisierten Studien, verlangen eine professionelle Organisation, Zeit sowie ein soziales Umfeld und eine Studienkultur, die solche wissenschaftlichen Leistungen gedeihen lassen.

    Notes: Abstract High frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) was used in a patient who developed the acute respiratory distress syndrome 5 days following a right pneumonectomy for bronchogenic carcinoma. When conventional pressure-controlled ventilation failed to maintain adequate oxygenation, HFOV dramatically improved oxygenation within the first few hours of therapy. Pulmonary function and gas exchange recovered during a 10-day period of HFOV. No negative side effects were observed. Early use of HFOV may be a beneficial ventilation strategy for adults with acute pulmonary failure, even in the postoperative period after lung resection.

    Notes: Abstract The functional intronless gene coding for a calmodulin-like protein (CLP) has been localized to human chromosome 10p13-ter. Chromosomal assignment was performed by Southern blot analysis of DNA from human-rodent somatic cell hybrids and amplification of a CLP gene-specific 1090-bp DNA fragment by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on DNA from human-hamster cell hybrids. Chromosomal sublocalization was carried out by in situ hybridization of human chromosome metaphase spreads. The CLP gene is the first member of the human calmodulin/calmodulin-like gene family to be chromosomally sublocalized. Its presence near the telomeric end of the short arm of chromosome 10 may be of significance with respect to its highly (epithelial) cell-type restricted expression in vivo and strong downregulation upon malignant transformation. The generation of a human CLP gene-specific sequence tag site specified by the two primers used for PCR should prove useful for future linkage studies.

    Notes: Summary  We present clinical details of three patients with posterior fossa haemorrhage after supratentorial surgery and discuss possible pathomechanisms of this rare complication. All patients were males of advanced age. Two patients presented with a history of hypertension. In all patients the occurence of haemorrhage was associated with loss/removal of large amounts of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) either intra-operatively (one patient undergoing aneurysm surgery) or postoperatively (all three patients: drainage of subdural hygromas or chronic subdural haematomas in two, external ventricular drainage in one patient). Treatment consisted in haematoma evacuation and/or external ventricular drainage. Two patients died, one patient recovered completely.  Although haematomas distant from a craniotomy site are a well known entity, a review of the literature identified only 25 published cases of posterior fossa haemorrhage after supratentorial procedures in the CT era. Most often disturbances of coagulation, positioning of the patient and episodes of hypertension have been associated with this complication. Only one author described the occurence of a haemorrhage after drainige of a supratentorial hygroma. We suggest that the loss of large amounts of CSF intra-operatively and postoperatively may lead to parenchymal shifts or a critical increase of transmural venous pressure with subsequent vascular disruption and haemorrhage.
