Comparative Study[High purity ryanodine for in vitro diagnosis of malignant hyperthermia].
The identification of disposition for malignant hyperthermia (MH) is performed by the halothane-caffeine contracture test in skeletal muscle. However, testing currently renders about 14% of the patients MH equivocal (MHE). To reduce this number the "ryanodine contracture test" has been proposed in addition to the established procedure. As all ryanodine preparations used until now are combinations of ryanodine and dehydroryanodine, we investigate in this study the effects of the now available high-purity ryanodine (HPR) in concentrations of 2,5 and 10 mumol/l. ⋯ The ryanodine contracture test should be added to the current diagnostics of malignant hyperthermia.

[Neurolytic block of the lumbar sympathetic trunk in advanced stages of peripheral arterial occlusive disease].
Neurolytic blocks of the lumbar sympathetic trunk enable a less invasive sympathetic denervation if compared to standard surgical procedures. ⋯ Considering the relatively short follow-up period, the results of this study support evidence of the therapeutic efficacy of CLS for rest pain and ischaemic ulcers in patients with advanced arterial disease. The prognostic value of standard variables for estimation of sympathetic reactivity and skin blood flow, however, could not be confirmed.

Biography Historical Article[Heinrich Braun (1862-1934)--a pioneer in anesthesiology in Germany].
Heinrich Braun was born on January, 1, 1862. He attended school in Dresden and was a student of Medicine at the Universities of Strassburg, Greifswald and Leipzig between 1881 and 1887. In 1887 he acquired his doctorate degree. ⋯ Famous representatives of his school are Läwen, Peuckert, Kulenkampff, Härtel and Kappis. In Zwickau he extensively dealt with problems of hospital organisation and -construction. In 1921 the new "Krankenstift Zwickau" constructed on the basis of his plans and recommendations was inaugurated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
