Speech comprehension and emotional/behavioral problems in children with specific language impairment (SLI).

This research aims to investigate differences in speech comprehension between children with specific language impairment (SLI) and their developmentally normal peers, and the relationship between speech comprehension and emotional/behavioral problems on Achenbach's Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and Caregiver Teacher's Report Form (C-TRF) according to the DSMIV The clinical sample comprised 97preschool children with SLI, while the peer sample comprised 60 developmentally normal preschool children. Children with SLI had significant delays in speech comprehension and more emotional/behavioral problems than peers. In children with SLI, speech comprehension significantly correlated with scores on Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Problems (CBCL and C-TRF), and Pervasive Developmental Problems scales (CBCL)(p<0.

[Direct lymphography with special reference to peripheral lymphedema. Historical retrospect--technique--indications--alternative procedures--image documentation].

Indication for direct lymphography during the past forty years shows a downward tendency, mainly because of new alternative modern imaging methods. Nevertheless, in agreement with the actual literature it can be shown by own investigations with 8000 patients from 1964 to 1989 that one cannot give up lymphography totally. On principle lymphography is still carried out in case of testicular tumors, malignant lymphomas, unclear fever, lymphatic vessel injury and facultative in peripheric lymph edemas.
