Osteosynthesis of the hand--indications, technique, results

Between January 1st 1992 and December 31st 1993 140 non-complex (i.e. nerve, vascular, tendon injuries) fractures of the peripheral hand skeleton were operated at the Policlinic of the Kantonsspital Basel. In a retrospective study we analyzed results, complications and absence from work. We treated 110 male and 30 female patients with a mean age of 47 years. 45 fractures were treated by plate fixation, 45 by screw fixation, 53 times we applied k-wires and once a mini-fix-ex (AO-Prototype). Plate and screw fixation were performed with AO-mini-implants. 90% of our patients had an uneventful postoperative course. In spite of functional after-treatment we noted in 8.6% of the patients a relevant loss of movement leading to operative tenolysis in 7 patients. Fractures at the level of PIP were most frequently associated with loss of movement. Absence from work was 59 days in average (1-206)! Conclusions: Peripheral osteosynthesis of the hand (non-complex) are effectively treated on an out-patient basis. In spite of functional after-treatment about 10% of patients have a relevant postoperative reduction in motility. Absence from work is relatively long after operative treatment of peripheral hand fractures.

The experiment is described for 47 male Ss tested on their ability to judge a luminous rod held vertical while they were tilted sidewise in a chair within a dark room. "No difference was found between those scoring high or low on neuroticism, but those scoring high on extraversion were significantly less accurate than were those scoring low."

Studies of the prevalence of Coxiella burnetii, the agent of Q fever, in the foothills of the southern Bavarian Forest, Germany

In studies carried out in 1991 in the foothills of the southern part of the Bavarian Forest, in the district of Freyung/Grafenau, ticks and small mammals were collected and examined for the presence of Coxiella (C.) burnetii and sera of small mammals and cattle investigated for antibodies against this rickettsia. A total of 1716 imagines and nymphs of Ixodes ricinus were collected by flagging and 892 larvae and nymphs of the same tick species removed from small mammals. In addition to 1095 serum samples from cattle, 326 specimens of nine species of small terrestrian mammals were examined. Neither in ticks nor in rodents, C. burnetii was detected, however, in 17 of 21 localities, seropositive cattle were found. Altogether, 12% of all 1095 heads of cattle tested were seropositive for C. burnetii antibodies. These serological results indicated a wide dissemination of C. burnetii in cattle of the region investigated, but there was no indication of a natural focus. As in other areas of Europe, an independent natural cycle of the agent involving cattle only is assumed to occur in this region.
