Summary: Relationship between the low selenium concentration and
malignant disease has been already described. As the incidence of
malignancy in uremic patients is higher than in other populations, in the
present study we have determined the selenium levels in dialysed patients.
In order to obtain the normal values for our region, 202 healthy persons
were examined. The mean selenium content for this group (66,80+/-0,13
micrograms/l) is among the lowest in Europe. Selenium was determined also
in 16 nephrological patients without signs of renal insufficiency and their
mean levels (63,4+/-0,7 micrograms/l) did not considerably differ when
compered to the normal values. In 45 patients on maintenance hemodialysis
the level of selenium (56,0+/-11,88 micrograms/l) was significantly lower
in comparison with the concentration in normal subjects and nephrological
patients. Concluding this study we can confirm that the values of selenium
in dialysed patients are so low that we can recommend the peroral
administration of selenium in case of the end-stage renal failure.

Summary: An 18-year-old man suffering from uremia was
hospitalizedbecause of severe skeletal pain and multiple exostoses.
Thepatients had been treated for 5 years by regular hemodialysis;primary
oxalosis was the suspected cause of uremia.Transilac bonebiopsy and
subsequent histomorphometric analysis of undecalcifiedbone specimen as well
as specific aluminum staining revealed apicture of oxalosis combined with
osteomalacia and a markedaccumulation of aluminum at the front of
mineralization. Thiscombination of histological features of oxalosis and
aluminumbone disease suggest a new type of mixed renal osteodystrophy.

Summary: In regularly dialyzed patients a variety of pathological
eventscan negatively influence haemodynamics and blood flow
througharterio-vanous fistula, leading to inadequate blood flow throughthe
dialyzer or disturbances in hemodynamics of the whole body.It therefore
appears important to quantify flow velocity andvolume flow through the
arterio-venous fistula in such cases.Weused a Vasoview computer controlled
system for noninvasivevascular diagnostics based on B-scan "real-time"
ultrasound forimaging the structure of tissue, combined with pulsed
Dopplerultrasound for determination of hemodynamics.Thirty patients (
16males and 14 females, aged 45+_1) years; range 23 to 61 years),with
different periods spent on hemodialysis ( 5.5+_3.1 years,range 1 to 11
years) were included in the study. The averagesystolic, diastolic and mean
blood volume flows were2131.8+_565.8, 972.0+_309.6 and 728.4+_287.4
ml/minrespectively.The mean blood volume flow was calculated byintegration
of the area under curve of blood flow in one heartcycle on Doppler
signal.The results revealed a markedinter-individual variation in volume
flow through arterio-venousfistulae of dialyzed uremics.

Summary: Blood selenium concentrations in 43 patients with laryngeal
cancer and 47 normal subjets were determined by atomic absorption
spectrophotometry. No significant differences in selenium values were
observed in sera from the cancer patients when compared with controls, but
there were significant differences between patients with advanced (T4)
supraglottic cancer and the normal controls. These results suggest that
lower blood selenium levels in this latter group of laryngeal cancer
patients may be a consequence of therir disease rather than its cause.
