[Clinical and cisternographic differential diagnosis between presenile dementia and Hakim syndrome].
The authors compared with regard clinical and the radionuclide cisternography examination 27 patients with Hakim-Syndrome and 11 with Alzheimer-Disease. In all cases, dementia was a stable symptom. ⋯ Only in case of patients with Alzheimer-Disease we found aphasia, apraxia and psychotic disorders. 24 hours after the injection radionuclide cisternography showed ventricular retention and absence of parasagital accumulation only in patients with Hakim-Syndrome. Lighter changes (mixed cisternographic pattern) were found in patients with Alzheimer-Disease as well.

[Principles and problems in the epidemiology of multiple sclerosis].
The problems of epidemiological studies in multiple sclerosis (MS) concern: the (1.) difficulties of diagnostics, the (2.) development and heterogeneity of the disease (manifestation and forms of course), the (3.) peculiarities of ascertainment of patients, the (4.) respective area of investigation (geographical location and size) and the (5.) population (including genetics and sociologic-economical factors). Further components, influencing incidence, prevalence and mortality, were exposed. As for the area of Rostock the onset of illness amounts to 30.9 ( +/- 8.9) years on an average; an incidence rate of 2.9 and prevalence rate of 60.4 (per 100 000 inhibitants) could be determined. Beside informations about the number of cases treated clinically in the several districts (with downward trend from North to South-East) there were given hypothetical data regarding the incidence and prevalence of MS in the GDR.

[Incidence and diagnosis of lumbosacral pouch diverticula].
The myelograms of ninety-nine patients with an ischias symptomatology were analyzed. In fifteen of the subjects there were found lumbosacral radicular pouch diverticula which, after elimination of other nosogenic factors, were considered chiefly responsible for the clinical and neurological pictures observed in six cases. The pathological and anatomical, clinical and radiographic results described by the authors represent a disease picture which is little known and, hence, not generally included in the differential diagnosis of ischialgia, but which has been found to yield to neurosurgical treatment in selected cases.
