    Notes: Summary Background Radiation dermatitis is a common side-effect of radiation therapy, but there is no current consensus about its appropriate therapy. Objectives To compare treatment with topical 0·1% methylprednisolone vs. 0·5% dexpanthenol in a cohort of patients undergoing fractionated radiation therapy for breast cancer. Methods In a randomized, double-blind design, treatment was initiated at the beginning of radiation therapy and continued for 2 weeks after termination of radiation. Outcomes were compared by three different measures: clinical (symptom score), functional (transepidermal water loss, TEWL) and subjective (quality of life, QOL). Results In a preliminary cohort of untreated patients undergoing radiation therapy, clinical signs and TEWL levels increased progressively during radiation therapy, reaching highest values at 5 and 4 weeks, respectively. Although neither topical treatment reduced the incidence of radiation dermatitis, both delayed the emergence of greatest clinical and TEWL scores until approximately 6 and 5 weeks, respectively. With topical corticosteroids, clinical symptoms and TEWL were less pronounced than with dexpanthenol. Whereas general QOL improved after completion of radiation therapy, skin-related QOL declined. However, the skin-related QOL decline could be at least in part reversed by use of topical corticosteroid vs. dexpanthenol-containing emollient. Conclusions We provide evidence that prophylactic and ongoing use of topical therapy with either topical corticosteroid or a dexpanthenol-containing emollient ameliorates, but does not prevent radiation dermatitis. Our data suggest, but do not prove, a benefit of a topical corticosteroid vs. a dexpanthenol-containing emollient. Further controlled studies with larger cohorts will be needed to determine optimal forms of topical therapy for radiation dermatitis.

    Notes: Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a new technique that permits noninvasive monitoring of cerebral blood and tissue oxygenation. Recently, we and others have shown that NIRS measurements are sensitive enough to follow changes in cerebral hemoglobin oxygenation due to activation of brain function. Based on these findings we have assessed the influence of aging as well as the influence of neurodegeneration on cerebral hemoglobin oxygenation during mental work. The typical NIRS pattern in young healthy subjects while performing calculation tasks measured in the frontal cortex were increases in oxygenated hemoglobin [HbO2] and total hemoglobin [HbT] while reduced hemoglobin [HbR] decreased. Elderly healthy subjects showed a significant lower mean increase in [HbO2] and [HbT] levels. Regression analysis revealed an age-dependent decline in activation-induced local increase of [HbO2] as well as [HbT]. Furthermore, we monitored changes in cerebral hemoglobin oxygenation in the frontal cortex while patients with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) performed cognitive tasks. Whereas elderly healthy subjects (as well as patients with major depression, age-associated memory impairments or vascular dementia) again showed clear increases in the local concentrations of [HbO2] and [HbT] during brain activation, AD patients showed significant decreases compared to the baseline levels in both variables that were most pronounced in the parietal cortex. To clarify whether the different patterns in cerebral hemoglobin oxygenation during cognitive activation were due to an altered functional brain organization in AD or to alterations in the cerebrovascular response to neuronal activation, we are currently performing simultaneous NIRS and (015-H20-)PET measurements during performance of a cognitive task (Stroop test). Our finding of a regional reduced oxygen supply during activation of brain function may be of relevance to the development and the time course of neurodegeneration.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The problem of energetic causes of periodic paralyses was investigated by various methods in a patient suffering from frequent severe hypopotassium-aemic paralyses as well as persisting weekness of individual muscle groups and rare transient and minor potassium-rise paralyses. The following results were gained a.o.: 1. The provocation of hypopotassium-aemic paralyses by abundant carbohydrate uptake as well as by glucocorticoids may be compensated by sodium with-drawel and, even more reliably, by blocking the production of aldosterone with Metopirone and Dexamethasone. 2. Physical work leads to a rise of lactate and pyruvate concentrations in the venous blood, which was about twice as high as in normal controls. 3. Under equal physical effort but with stimulation of the glycogenolysis by glucagone and epinephrine injections, the concentrations rose to 4–5 times the value of the controls. Simultaneously, an almost complete tetraplegia developed. 4. Muscular effort after tying off the blood circulation lead to normal production of lactate, whereas the production of pyruvate fell considerably behind. During the spontaneous nightly paralysis the lactatepyruvate concentration showed a slight decline. 5. The blood-sugar rise after oral sugar loading is smaller and of shorter duration than normally. 6. The oxygen-consumption after injection of epinephrine rose during rest as well as after work disproportionately, and fell after termination of the work even below the resting metabolism. 7. Changes of the ultrastructure of the musculature showed broadened sarcoplasma cysterns with an excessive accumulation of granules in the neighbourhood, which could not be differentiated histochemically from glycogen particles. 8. The enzyme pattern of the muscle fibers was established in two different experimental set-ups in bioptically taken samples of the m. quadriceps by measuring activities of 28 enzymes of the energy producing metabolism. As different from the normal standard was found the content of the hexokinasis activity; concerning enzymes of the glycolysis it was 4–5 times, concerning enzymes of the citrate-cyclus 3 times as high as normal. 9. Such an absolutely and relatively raised hexokinasis-activity points to a strongly accelerated introduction of extracellular glucosis into the muscular metabolism and possibly explains an increasedg lycogen storage as well as an increased glucose-tolerance rendering the unfavourable effect of abundant carbohydrate feeding, parenteral glucose as well as the application of epinephrine and glucagone understandable. 10. The functional disturbances of muscle fiber membranes in periodic paralysis possibly have direct causes arising from the energy-metabolism of the muscle fibers. They take the shape of a failure of the potassium pump in hypo-potassium-aemic paralysis (prevention by either lack of sodium or aldosterone blockage), of a failure of the potassium pump in the hyper-potassium-aemic paralysis (disturbed reabsorption of potassium into the muscle fiber).
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Der Frage nach den energetischen Ursachen periodischer Lähmungen wurde bei einem Patienten mit häufigen, schweren hypokaliämischen Lähmungen sowie darüber hinaus anhaltender Schwäche einzelner Muskelgruppen und seltenen, kurzdauernden und leichteren Kaliumanstiegslähmungen mit verschiedenen Methoden nachgegangen. Dabei ergab sich u.a.: 1. Die Provokation hypokaliämischer Lähmungen durch reichliche Kohlenhydratzufuhr sowie durch Glucocorticoide kann durch Natriumentzug und noch zuverlässiger durch Blockade der Aldosteronbildung mit Metopiron und Dexamethason ausgeglichen werden. 2. Durch Muskelarbeit stieg die Lactat- und Pyruvatkonzentration im Venenblut etwa doppelt so hoch wie bei einer gesunden Kontrollperson. 3. Erfolgte die gleiche Arbeitsleistung nach Anregung der Glykogenolyse durch Glucagon- und Adrenalininjektion, so stiegen diese Konzentrationen auf das 4–5fache der Kontrollpersonen an. Gleichzeitig entwickelte sich eine fast vollständige Tetraplegie. Im spontanen nächtlichen Lähmungsanfall sank dagegen die Lactat-Pyruvatkonzentration gering ab. 4. Bei Muskelarbeit nach Abschnürung der Blutzirkulation entsprach die Lactatproduktion dem Normalen, während die Pyruvatproduktion hinter dieser erheblich zurückblieb. 5. Der Blutzuckeranstieg ist nach oraler Zuckerbelastung geringer und kurzdauernder als normal. 6. Der Sauerstoffverbrauch stieg nach Adrenalininjektion sowohl in Ruhe wie nach Arbeit unverhältnismäßig stark an und fiel nach Beendigung der Arbeit unter den Ruheumsatz ab. 7. Veränderungen in der Ultrastruktur der Muskelfasern waren gekennzeichnet durch erweiterte sarkoplasmatische Zisternen mit excessiver Ansammlung von Granula in der Nachbarschaft, welche histochemisch nicht von Glykogenpartikeln zuunterscheiden waren. 8. Das Enzymmuster der Muskelfasern wurde aus einer bioptisch entnommenen Probe des M. quadriceps durch Messung der Aktivitäten von 28 Enzymen des energieliefernden Stoffwechsels in zwei verschiedenen Versuchsansätzen bestimmt. Als von der Norm abweichend erwies sich der Aktivitätsgehalt der Hexokinase, der in bezug auf die Enzyme der Glykolyse um den Faktor 4–5 und in bezug auf die Enzyme des Citrat-Cyclus um das 3fache erhöht war. 9. Eine derartige absolut und relativ erhöhte Hexokinaseaktivität weist auf eine gesteigerte Einschleusung von extracellulärer Glucose in den Muskel hin und erklärt möglicherweise die vermehrte Glykogenablagerung sowie die gesteigerte Glucosetoleranz. Die ungünstige Wirkung kohlenhydratreicher Kost, parenteraler Glucose-, Adrenalin- und Glucagonapplikation werden auf der Grundlage dieser Störung verständlich. 10. Die Funktionsstörungen der Muskelfasermembranen bei periodischer Lähmung, welche in der hypokaliämischen Lähmung als Versagen der Natriumpumpe (Verhütung durch Natriummangel oder Aldosteronblockade) und bei hyperkaliämischer Lähmung als Versagen der Kaliumpumpe (gestörte Reabsorption von Kalium in die Muskelfaser) imponierten, haben damit möglicherweise eine direkte Ursache im Energiestoffwechsel der Muskelfasern.

    Notes: Abstract  This report concerns a 26-year-old male-to- female transsexual who had received a large volume liquid silicone injection of unknown grade into her upper lateral thighs to gain female contour. She presented at our outpatient clinic 4 years after the silicone injection with complaints of pain and silicone sagging down as far as both ankles. On physical examination a massively swollen right ankle with signs of inflammation was seen. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), massive diffuse and localized silicone infiltration in the soft tissues of the entire lower limbs was seen. After conservative treatment of the soft tissue infection, the first attempt to solve this problem was excision of large solid infiltrates of silicone in combination with liposuction. Liposuction was not able to reduce the silicone load. After a recurrent inflammation had subsided, radical subcutaneous debridement was performed. The local skin was used as a full-thickness skin graft. As of now, there has been no recurrence of pain and inflammation for the first 15 months. It is concluded that, even now, large-volume silicone injections are performed. These procedures will end in disaster without exception. The treatment of these disasters is complicated and never satisfactory.

    Description: Background The main goal of this study was to assess frequency, clinical correlates, and independent predictors of fatigue in a homogeneous cohort of well-defined glioblastoma patients at baseline prior to combined radio-chemotherapy. Methods We prospectively included 65 glioblastoma patients at postsurgical baseline and assessed fatigue, sleepiness, mean bedtimes, mood disturbances, and clinical characteristics such as clinical performance status, presenting symptomatology, details on neurosurgical procedure, and tumor location and diameter as well as pharmacological treatment including antiepileptic drugs, antidepressants, and use of corticosteroids. Data on fatigue and sleepiness were measured with the Fatigue Severity Scale and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, respectively, and compared with 130 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Results We observed a significant correlation between fatigue and sleepiness scores in both patients ( r = 0.26; P = .04) and controls ( r = 0.36; P 〈 .001). Only fatigue appeared to be more common in glioblastoma patients than in healthy controls (48% vs 11%; P 〈 .001) but not the frequency of sleepiness (22% vs 19%; P = .43). Female sex was associated with increased fatigue frequency among glioblastoma patients but not among control participants. Multiple linear regression analyses identified depression, left-sided tumor location, and female sex as strongest associates of baseline fatigue severity. Conclusions Our findings indicate that glioblastoma patients are frequently affected by fatigue at baseline, suggesting that factors other than those related to radio- or chemotherapy have significant impact, particularly depression and tumor localization.
