The article notes that James Israel and Max Nitze have successfully developed European medicine for more than 30 years of their scientific and practical activities, enriching it with both experimental and large clinical experience. Their scientific achievements greatly contributed to the development of modern clinical urology throughout the world. Based on an analysis of the results of more than 1000 nephrectomy operations for tuberculosis, Izrael made a conclusion about the effectiveness of surgical treatment of this disease. In addition to kidney surgery, J. Israel developed questions of rhinoplasty. He participated in the International Congress of Physicians in Moscow (1897), where he reported on 191 kidney operations. He was an honorary member of the German Society of Surgeons, the Berlin Society of Urology, President of the International Congress of Urology (Paris, 1908). The main merit of M. Nitze is the invention of a cystoscope, in which for the first time an electric light source for illuminating the bladder was located at the end of a tool inserted into the bladder. The invention of the cystoscope contributed to the development of urology as an independent clinical discipline and marked the beginning of endoscopic studies of various organs and body cavities. It is analyzed the fact that the history of medicine gives rich material not only to understanding evolution, but also to the possibility to foresee its further development. The current state of clinical urology is determined by the progress of basic research in biology, physics, biochemistry, bacteriology, immunology, pharmacology. At the same time, it was noted that the personality of the scientist-physician, his observation, the non-standard view, the ability to see the opening perspectives, to bring up worthy students, to create a scientific and clinical school of urologists, is of utmost importance, at the same time, to the full compliance of the great German urologists J Israel and M. Nitze.Disclosure: The study did not have sponsorship. The author declares no conflict of interest.

Perfusion Scintigraphy

SummaryThe working group Cardiovascular Nuclear Medicine of the German Society of Nuclear Medicine (DGN), in cooperation with the working group Nuclear Cardiology of the German Cardiac Society (DGK), decided to conduct a national survey on myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS). Method: A questionnaire to evaluate MPS for the year 2005 was sent. Results: 346 completed questionnaires had been returned (213 private practices, 99 hospitals and 33 university hospitals). MPS of 112 707 patients were reported with 110 747 stress and 95 878 rest studies. The majority (>75%) was performed with 99mTc-MIBI or tetrofosmin. 201Tl stress-redistribution was used in 22 637 patients (20%). The types of stress were exercise in 78%, vasodilation with adenosine or dipyridamol in 21% and dobutamine in 1%. 99.97% of all MPS were SPECT studies. Gated SPECT was performed in 36% of the stress and in 32% of the rest studies. An attenuation correction was used in 21%. 29 institutions (8%) performed gated SPECT (stress and rest) and attenuation correction. 47% of all MPS were requested by ambulatory care cardiologists, 17% by internists, 12% by primary care physicians, 21% by hospital departments and 2% by others. Conclusion: In Germany, MPS is predominantly performed with 99mTc-perfusion agents. The common type of stress is ergometry. Gated SPECT and attenuation correction do not yet represent standards of MPS practice in Germany, which indicates some potential of optimization.

Summary Background: To evaluate the implementation of the guidelines of the German Society of Phlebology for venous crural ulcer a survey was conducted during the annual meeting of the German Society of Phlebology 2008 in Bochum. Methods: All 719 medical participants got an anonymized questionnaire asking for supply of crural ulcer in their institution. Results: The recurrent 66 questionnaires (9.2%) were filled by colleagues from practice or hospital, mostly surgeons, dermatologists, phlebologists and vascular surgeons. As basic diagnostics vein doppler (56.1%), duplex (75.8%) or measurement of brachial-ankleindex (83.3%) were performed. Compression therapy is used in all institutions. Mainly used wound dressings are polyurethane foam dressings, alginates, hydrocolloids and silver dressings. About 2/3 conduct surgical therapy of ulcers. Conclusion: Supply of ulcus cruris by the participants of the annual meeting of the DGP corresponds mainly, but not in all aspects to the guidelines. Further efforts for a spread of the guidelines are necessary.

Complete Lymph Node Dissection

SummaryThe international consensus conference from St. Gallen concerning the treatment of early breast cancer concluded in 2003, that sentinel node biopsy was now accepted as method allowing axillary staging in breast cancer. This procedure may avoid complete lymph node dissection in appropriate cases. Since numerous questions associated with the technique are still not defined and the procedure itself is not yet standardized, the German Society of Senology defined the conditions for the routine clinical use of sentinel node biopsy in an interdisciplinary consensus meeting.
