[Current roentgenologic delay in bronchial carcinoma].

The actual delaying of findings in roentgenograms is represented in 1000 cases of resected bronchial carcinoma from 1957 to 1972 and in 800 unresectable patients from 1973 to 1976. The delaying is analysed using the criteria as localization, site, diameter, histology, clinical delaying of symptoms, manner of discovering the tumour, original finding in the roentgenogram, prognosis, and sex-distribution of the tumours. 1.

[Social aspects in fighting against tuberculosis].

In 1884 Robert Koch postulated in his essay on "The Etiology of Tuberculosis" favouring moments for the settling of tubercle bacilli to explain the predisposition and diversified course of tuberculosis in grown-up persons. Under the conception "disposition" he also subsumised exogen factors beside the internal conditions and proclaimed that all steps undertaken against tuberculosis should take into account the social conditions. Only to effect the treatment in a sanatorium for such patients, it is also necessary to care for their families and for the patients themselves after they left the sanatorium.
