[Central and paracentral homonymous scotomas in circumscribed lesions of the occipital lobe]

MAJERSZKY Klára

[Description of four cases of homonymous hemianopsia scotoma of different and unusual origin (three paracentral and one central). In one case, electrocoagulation of the occipital polus caused a central hemianopsia scotoma without macular sparing, supporting the principle of unilateral cortical representation of the macula.]

[Vegetative nervous system association with the combined use of Cardiazol and Evipan]

ZÁDOR Imre, FRIGYESI György

[According to Pavlov and his students, inhibition and stimulation interact dynamically within the nervous system. The authors tried to enhance the two processes simultaneously with Cardiazol and Evipan, respectively, and investigated the equilibrium between the two effects. Evipan also prevents Cardiazole from causing seizures, elevating blood pressure and heart rate, and inducing psychic excitement. The experiments suggest that both Cradiazole and Evipan act mainly on the cerebral cortex and that their neutralising role would take place there. From the experiments and from the parallel therapeutic experience, it appears that Evipan can also be used as an antiepileptic, especially in status epilepticus.]

[The fate of the pituitary graft in the human body]

GÁTAI György

[In calf hypophyses transplanted into human thymus, progressive necrosis was observed at 7 weeks and complete necrosis at 13 weeks. The necrosis is centrifugal, most pronounced in the central parts of the graftatum. The connective tissue sheath of the pituitary plays a major role in the death of the transplanted material, with the sheathless parts dying the latest. Transplants have only a temporary and partial effect and in the case of serial transplants the effect of surgery is reduced.]
