[Functional treatment of extensor tendon injury of the hand].

We have treated 73 patients with 107 injuries of the extensor tendon. We started with an elastic dynamic splinting means = 9 (2-27) days after operation. The duration of functional treatment was means = 40 (13-103) days.

[Abnormal pacing following defibrillation - exit block after microdislocation of the electrode (author's transl)].

Two days after a 52-year-old patient with coronary heart disease (third degree-av-block and ventricular rhythm, permanent pacemaker treatment) had a pacemaker replacement, bradycardia and pacemaker exit block occurred. After defibrillation with 300 Ws pacemaker for spontaneous ventricular fibrillation, entrance block and new fibrillation were observed. Further defibrillation lead to raising the frequency of the pacemaker and to abnormal stimulation, which in turn triggered irreversibly ventricular fibrillation and the death of the patient.
