    Notes: Thirty-eight patients with surgically treated stage IB adenosquamous carcinoma of the uterine cervix (AS) have been matched with patients with other histologic subtypes of adenocarcinoma (A) for stage, lesion size, node status, grade of adenocarcinoma and age at diagnosis. An additional six patients with AS were unable to be matched. Overall 5-year survival and disease-free survival for the matched AS and A were not significantly different, 83 vs. 90%, and 78 vs. 81% nor were the number of recurrences, 8/38 AS vs. 6/38 A, but the mean time to recurrence was significantly shorter in the AS group: 11 vs. 32 months (P = 0.003). A subgroup of AS with a high risk of a poor outcome can be identified based on either lesion size ≥ 4 cm, depth of invasion ≥ 10 mm or plevic lymph node metastasis. These patients may be suitable candidates for adjuvant therapy before or after surgical treatment.

    Notes: To investigate bladder neck and urethral function after radical hysterectomy, 21 patients were investigated before and 3 months after the operation. Each patient had an excretory urogram, CO2 cysto-scopy, uroflowmetry, water cystometry and a urethral pressure profile, using a dual sensor microtransducer catheter, at rest and during stress. Postoperatively there was a significant reduction in urethral length and urethral closure pressure; however, pressure transmission ratios were maintained, indicating no loss of bladder neck support with stress. Of the six patients with pre-operative bladder neck weakness, two (33%) had stress urinary incontinence at the 3 months assessment. No patient with a normal pre-operative assessment developed this complication. Fifteen (71%) voided by abdominal straining and this manoeuvre emptied the bladder effectively. These data suggest that patients with pre-operative evidence of an incompetent bladder neck may be predisposed to develop stress urinary incontinence after radical hysterectomy because of a reduction in the urethral closure pressure.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei 208 Patienten wurde wegen Verdachts auf Herpes simplex-Enzephalitis eine Gehirnbiopsie durchgeführt. Nach Randomisierung wurde entweder mit Vidarabin in einer Dosierung von 15 mg/kg pro Tag oder mit 30 mg/kg/Tag Aciclovir für zehn Tage behandelt. Bei 69 der biopsierten Patienten (33%) wurde die Diagnose bestätigt, von ihnen erhielten 37 Vidarabin und 32 Aciclovir. Die demographischen Charakteristika der beiden Gruppen waren mit Ausnahme des Alters vergleichbar. 18 Monate nach der Therapie waren 72% der mit Aciclovir behandelten und 46% der mit Vidarabin behandelten Patienten am Leben (p=0,008). Nach Ausgleich der Altersunterschiede in den beiden Patientengruppen mittels Multivarianten-Regressionsanalyse blieb Aciclovir gegenüber Vidarabin immer noch therapeutisch überlegen (p=0,041). Je nach Grad der Bewußtseinsstörung zu Beginn der Therapie war die Sterblichkeit unterschiedlich hoch. Die Letalität nahm von Lethargie zu Semikoma und Koma von 42% auf 46% und 67% bei mit Vidarabin und von 0% auf 25% und 25% bei mit Aciclovir behandelten Patienten zu. Nachuntersuchungen bezüglich Restschäden sechs Monate nach Therapie ergaben bei fünf mit Vidarabin (14%) und 12 mit Aciclovir (38%) behandelten Patienten eine vollkommene Wiederherstellung und bei acht (22%) bzw. drei (9%) eine mäßiggradige zerebrale Funktionseinschränkung. Die Unterschiede der Therapieergebnisse erwiesen sich bei Anwendung eines angepaßten Punktesystems als signifikant mit p=0,02 (Zwei-Proben-Test nach Wilcoxon). Bei einer Punktezahl von mehr als 10 im Glasgow Koma-Schema war das Ergebnis nach Aciclovir-Behandlung am günstigsten. Bei bewußtseinsgestörten Patienten mit erhaltenen Reflexen und Augenreaktionen auf Schmerzreiz traten keine Todesfälle auf, 50% der Patienten wurden völlig wiederhergestellt. Aufgrund dieser Daten ist Aciclovir als Therapie der Wahl bei bioptisch gesicherter Herpes simplex-Enzephalitis anzusehen.
    Notes: Summary A total of 208 patients underwent brain biopsy for presumptive herpes simplex encephalitis and were randomized to receive either vidarabine, vira-A, at 15 mg/kg/day, or acyclovir, at 30 mg/kg/day for ten days. 69 patients (33%) had biopsy-proven disease; 37 received vira-A and 32 acyclovir. With the exception of age, patient populations were balanced for demographic characteristics. Overall survival for acyclovir recipients was 72% compared with 46% for vira-A-treated patients 18 months after therapy (p=0.008). After adjustment for differences of age between treatment populations by multivariant regression analyses, acyclovir treatment remained superior to vidarabine therapy (p=0.041). Mortality varied according to the level of consciousness at the onset of therapy. For lethargic, semicomatose and comatose patients, mortality was 42%, 46%, and 67%, respectively, for the vira-A-treated patients and 0%, 25% and 25%, respectively, for acyclovir-treated patients. Six months post-therapy morbidity assessments revealed five (14%) vira-A versus 12 (38%) acyclovir recipients who had returned to normal function, while eight (22%) and three (9%), respectively, had moderate debility. Outcome differences were significant (p=0.02; Wilcoxon, 2-sample test) using an adapted scoring system. Age and Glasgow coma scale 〉 10 predicted the best outcome following acyclovir treatment. Disoriented patients who flex and respond by eye to pain had no mortality and 50% returned to normal. These data indicate that acyclovir is the treatment of choice for biopsy-proven herpes simplex encephalitis.
