Allergic contact dermatitis from grasses

This study attempts to demonstrate the existence of allergic contact dermatitis from grass, and to develop a patch test series to screen patients with grass intolerance. 6 common grass species from lawns and military training areas were collected. Solvent extracts of polar. non-polar and volatile fractions were prepared and used for patch testing in 20 control subjects and 46 patients with a history of grass intolerance. The 20 control had negative responses to patch testing. 5 out of 46 patients had positive patch tests to Axonopus compressus (carpet grass). Ischaenmum muticum (sea-shore centipede grass). Imperata evlindrica (lalang). Panicum maximum (Guinea grass) and Pennisetum purpureum (elephant grass). Reactions to the non-polar fraction for all 5 species were noted. This study demonstrates the existence of allergic contact dermatitis from various common species of grass. In our series, this is seen in 11% of those with a history of grass intolerance.     

The use of propofol and alfentanil by infusion in military anaesthesia

A total intravenous technique using propofol and alfentanil was used successfully in four battlefield casualties treated at a British Military Field Hospital during the recent Gulf conflict. All patients made a rapid recovery of adequate quality for prompt evacuation. We believe that the use of propofol and alfentanil as an induction and maintenance regimen for military anaesthesia merits further evaluation and comparison with established techniques.

Serogroup B meningococcal disease in the Norwegian armed forces: What can we learn from an inconclusive vaccine protection trial?

Military recruits serving in the armed forces were severelyaffected during the latest serogroup B meningococcal epidemicin Norway. The risk of developing systemic meningococcal disease(SMD) proved highest during the first 12 weeks of service. Adouble-blind, placebo-controlled protection trial with a meningococcalouter membrane vesicle vaccine took place between 1988 and 1991,but the number of proven SMD cases was too low to allow forany conclusions. However, the results of a parallel efficacystudy of the same vaccine among students in secondary school,cross-society examinations for asymptomatic throat carriageof meningococci and recent immunogenicity studies after two-and three-dose vaccination schedules, suggest that a basic immunizationof young teenagers followed by a booster injection at enrolmentwould contribute significantly to preventing SMD in the armedforces.

新兵接种甲肝和乙肝疫苗3年效果

目的：观察新兵接种甲肝疫苗与乙肝疫苗3a效果。方法：随机对照试验。观察3a接种甲肝、乙肝疫苗保护效果。结果：接种甲肝疫苗组2201人,无1人发生甲型肝炎;对照组2611人,发病4人;甲肝疫苗接种3a的保护率为100％。接种乙肝疫苗组2611人,发生乙型肝炎1人;对照组2628人,发生乙型肝炎5人;乙肝疫苗接种3a的保护率为80％。结论：部队新兵接种甲型与乙型肝炎疫苗,可使部队战士甲、乙型肝炎发病率减少80％。     

部队甲型病毒性肝炎疫苗的接种策略

目的 探讨部队甲肝疫苗接种的最佳策略。方法 应用决策树模型和成本效用分析方法。结果 部队官兵接种甲肝疫苗,先筛选后接种方案优于直接接种方案;采用先筛选后接种方案接种干部每增加一个DALY将产生168.23元的正效益,而新兵则需2792.30元的净投入。经灵敏度分析,该决策结果稳定,不随引入决策模型的各参数的变化而变化。结论 在当前条件下,部队接种甲肝疫苗宜首选先筛选后接种方案,优先接种干部人群。     

某部军事训练伤前瞻性流行病学研究

目的：了解军事训练伤的发生规律与特点。方法：采用前瞻性流行病学研究方法,对某部１９９７年３月至２月的军事训练伤进行调查。结果：该部军事训练伤的年度发生率为３０．０４％,上半年训练伤的发生率明显高于下半年,训练伤的发生率随年龄增加而逐渐下降,不同单位训练伤的发生率不同。在训练伤病例中以关节扭伤所占比例最大（３３．２１％）,受伤部位以肘,腿,踝和腕部为主,受伤课目以战术训练和５公里越野跑等所占比例高（     

Pseudohomosexual psychosis in basic military training

The emergence of homosexual anxieties in heterosexual males following a severe blow to masculine self-esteem has been termed pseudohomosexual by Ovesey and has been shown to reflect sexual dependency and power conflicts. This article extends the concept, described largely in neurotic patients, to psychotic reactions occurring in basic trainees following failure to adapt to military life. The military setting is viewed as a culturally specific stress for emergence of pseudohomosexual anxieties in predisposed individuals. Case studies illustrate the power and dependency conflicts, sexual symbolization, projective defenses, and restitutional violence which characterize these patients. The pseudohomosexual psychosis defends the patient against perceiving his inability to effect separation from mother, bear the object loss, and attain cultural manhood.The views presented represent those of the author and are not to be interpreted as representing the Department of Defense or the U.S. Air Force.
