    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The international discussion on physician-assisted dying as well as the recent development in North Australia and Oregon point to a growing tendency to favour assisted suicide as against killing on request – last not least for reasons of public acceptance. The decision of the Supreme Court of the Netherlands in a case of suicide assisted by a psychiatrist gives the opportunity to discuss the problem from the psychiatric point of view.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die internationale Diskussion über Fragen der Sterbehilfe ebenso wie die Entwicklung in Australien und Oregon weisen auf eine zunehmende Tendenz hin, der ärztlichen Beihilfe zum Suizid den Vorzug gegenüber der aktiven Tötung zu geben – nicht zuletzt aus Gründen der gesellschaftlichen Akzeptanz. Die Entscheidung des Obersten Gerichts der Niederlande über die Suizidbeihilfe eines Psychiaters aus dem Jahr 1994 gibt Anlaß, diese Problematik aus psychiatrischer Sicht zu untersuchen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Objectives: The risk to suffer from natural latex allergy is increased in children with congenital neurogenic bladder dysfunction. We, therefore, evaluated whether or not a serologic screening for detection of sensitization to latex is reasonable in these children. Patients and Methods: 40 children aged from 6 months to 17 years were examined by specific questionnaire-based patient histories, and by determination of total serum immunoglobuline E (total IgE) and natural latex-specific serum immunoglobulin E (latex-IgE) by solid-phase immunoassays. Results: 5 children had a history of allergic reaction to rubber containing materials. In 10 children, latex-IgE was elevated 〉 0.35 kU/l, 6 out of these 10 children without a history of allergic reactions to rubber containing materials. There was a positive correlation of elevated latex-IgE values and the number of former surgical procedures (p 〈 0.006), while no correlation was found between elevated latex-IgE values and clean intermittent catheterization (p = 0.408). Conclusion: Compared to questionnaire-based patient histories, serologic screening examination including determination of latex-IgE values may better identify children at risk to suffer from sensitization to natural latex.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Fragestellung: Naturlatexallergien kommen bei Kindern mit angeborener neurogener Blasenentleerungsstörung gehäuft vor. Es wurde deshalb untersucht, ob bei dieser Patientengruppe ein serologisches Screening zur Erfassung einer Sensibilisierung gegenüber Naturlatex sinnvoll ist. Patienten und Methode: Untersucht wurden 40 Kinder im Alter von 6 Monaten bis 17 Jahren. Die Untersuchung umfaßte eine gezielte Anamneseerhebung durch Fragebogen sowie die Bestimmung des Gesamtimmunglobulin E (Gesamt-IgE) und des naturlatexspezifischen Immunglobulin E (Latex-IgE) im Serum durch Festphasenimmunoassays. Ergebnisse: 5 Kinder hatten anamnestisch Zeichen einer allergischen Reaktion nach Gummikontakt. 10 Kinder wiesen im Serum erhöhte Werte des Latex-IgE auf, wobei 6 dieser Kinder bisher noch keine Zeichen einer Latexallergie hatten. Pathologische Werte für das Latex-IgE korrelierten statistisch signifikant mit der Anzahl operativer Eingriffe (p 〈 0,0006), nicht aber mit einem durchgeführten sauber intermittierenden Einmalkatheterismus (p = 0,408). Schlußfolgerung: Im Vergleich zur alleinigen fragebogengestützen Anamneseerhebung können durch ein serologisches Screening mit Bestimmung des Latex-IgE mehr Kinder entdeckt werden, die durch eine Sensibilisierung gegenüber Naturlatex gefährdet sind.

    Notes: Abstract The evaluation of pesticide-mineralising microorganisms to clean-up contaminated soils was studied with the widely applied and easily detectable compound atrazine, which is rapidly mineralised by several microorganisms including the Pseudomonas sp. strain Yaya 6. The rate of atrazine removal was proportional to the water content of the soil and the amount of bacteria added to the soil. In soil slurry, 6 mg atrazine kg soil−1 was eliminated within 1 day after application of 0.3 g dry weight inoculant biomass kg soil−1 and within 5 days when 0.003 g kg soil−1 was used. In partially saturated soil (60% of the maximal water-holding capacity) 15 mg atrazine kg soil−1 was eliminated within 2 days by 1 g biomass kg soil−1 and within 25 days when 0.01 g biomass kg soil−1 was used. In unsaturated soil, about 60% [U-ring-14C]atrazine was converted to 14CO2 within 14 days. Atrazine was very efficiently removed by the inoculant biomass, not only in soil that was freshly contaminated but also in soil aged with atrazine for up to 260 days. The bacteria exposed to atrazine in unsaturated sterile soil were still active after a starvation period of 240 days: 15 mg newly added atrazine kg soil−1 was eliminated within 5 days.

    Notes: Abstract Objectives: To assess the health effects of hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) on the airways and the skin of workers in the chemical industry. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed with 17 employees of a HMT-producing chemical plant and 16 control subjects from the plant. In addition, we examined 4 out of 5 subjects who had left the production for medical reasons during the last 10 years. Anamnestic data, total and specific IgE to four environmental allergens, lung function and bronchial responsiveness to methacholine were assessed by standard procedures. Skin prick tests (SPT) and patch tests were performed with known sensitizing substances and HMT 100 mg/ml and 2% pet and aq. Results: A high number of exposed subjects and controls reported symptoms during the previous year (64.7% vs 68.8%), most of them were not related to work. Work-related symptoms and objective parameters did not show differences between groups. No sensitizations to HMT as assessed by SPT or patch tests were found. Among those who had left the HMT production for medical reasons, 2 former baggers showed sensitizations to HMT by patch tests. These reported eczema during exposure but lost symptoms after removal from exposure. Geometric mean HMT concentrations as assessed by personal sampling were 0.3 [95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.1; 0.9] mg/m3 in shiftleaders and 0.6 (95% CI 0.3; 1.1) mg/m3 in baggers. Conclusion: High exposures to HMT may cause allergic contact dermatitis. There was no evidence of an increased risk for occupational asthma at mean airborne HMT concentrations below 1 mg/m3.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Thirteen patients with kidney and urinary tract infections, which had been clinically and bacteriologically confirmed, were treated with 1 mg/kg sisomicin twice daily. Symptoms were relieved completely in all patients. In three cases reinfection with a new organism occurred after cessation of therapy. Serum concentrations on the first, second and last day of treatment in patients with normal or slightly impaired renal function were almost identical, excluding the possibility of accumulation. Sisomicin is excreted by the kidneys and reaches high urine concentrations. Urine recovery is similar to that of gentamicin and does not show any correlation to the urine volume. Recovery did not appear to be affected by renal clearance in patients with normal or slightly reduced renal function. Local tolerance of sisomicin was good and no disturbance of auditory or vestibular function was observed. The renal tolerance of sisomicin in man will be studied in a controlled clinical trial.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Bei 13 Patienten mit klinisch und bakteriologisch gesicherten Infektionen der Nieren und der ableitenden Harnwege konnte durch die Therapie mit zweimal 1 mg/kg/die Sisomicin in allen Fällen eine Beseitigung der klinischen Symptome erreicht werden. Bei drei Patienten kam es nach Therapieende zu einer Reinfektion mit anderen Keimen. Bei normaler bis leicht eingeschränkter Nierenfunktion sind die Kurven der Serumkonzentrationen am ersten, zweiten und letzten Tag der Therapie nahezu identisch und schließen eine Kumulation des Präparates aus. Sisomicin wird über die Nieren ausgeschieden und erreicht hohe Urinkonzentration, die Urinrecovery entspricht der des Gentamicin und ist unabhängig vom Urinvolumen; ein Einfluß der Clearence auf die Recovery ließ sich bei Patienten, die eine normale oder leicht eingeschränkte Nierenfunktion hatten, nicht erkennen. Sisomicin wird lokal gut vertragen, eine objektivierbare Störung der Hör- und Gleichgewichtsfunktion war bei diesen Untersuchungen nicht zu finden. Die Frage der Nierenverträglichkeit des Präparates beim Menschen wird durch weitere Untersuchungen in einer kontrollierten Studie geklärt.
