美的侧貌正常儿童Holdaway分析法研究

目的:研究正常美的侧貌人群颅颌面软组织的形态结构特征,以指导正畸临床创造富于个性美的侧貌。方法:从104例正常样本中,按照陈氏唇型分类法中的Ⅱ型、Ⅲ1型及Ⅲ2型“唇型标准”筛选出美的侧貌人群(男12例,女18例)进行Holdaway头影测量分析。结果:得出Holdaway分析法正常值标准。结论:男女颅颌面形态结构特征虽然很相近,但仍存在一定的差异。了解正常美的侧貌人群颅颌面发育特征,有助于诊断和矫治计划的制定。     

Dengue: A Clinicohaematological Profile

Background

Fifty cases of fever, clinically suspected to be dengue were studied. Methods: Complete clinical, haematological evaluation and IgM capture assay was done.

Result

54% of patients clinically suspected to have dengue were positive for IgM antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The commonest clinical feature was fever with rash (85%). Thrombocytopenia was seen in 19% of patients only. One patient died of dengue shock syndrome (DSS).

Conclusion

Out of the 27 cases of seropositive dengue there was one death due to dengue shock syndrome. Thrombocytopenia may not always be a feature of dengue.Key Words: Dengue haemorrhagic fever, Dengue shock syndrome, Thrombocytopenia

Profile of women practicing breast self-examination

The monthly practice of breast self-examination (BSE) can result in the early diagnosis of breast cancer. To explore factors that influence women's habits in the practice of BSE, we interviewed 616 women using an interactive computer program. We found that these women were more likely to practice BSE on a frequent basis if they were living with their sexual partner, had been shown how to perform BSE, and were confident in their examination technique. Women with a maternal history of breast disease were also more likely to practice monthly BSE. Unlike past reports that women with formal education beyond high school practice BSE more frequently than less-educated women, our study showed no association between monthly BSE practice and formal education. Contrary to our hypothesis that BSE practice was associated with the practice of other preventive health activities, our study did not demonstrate such a relationship. These findings suggest that demonstrating BSE at the periodic health examination may help increase the number of women practicing BSE on a frequent basis.     

Profile of amebic liver abscess.

Two hundred cases of amebic liver abscess diagnosed between 1989 and 1991 at the Kasturba Medical College, Manipal were analyzed in this retrospective study. The clinical features and investigation reports were studied and the treatment and its response were analyzed. Amebic liver abscess constituted 0.6% of total hospital admissions during the study period. The male to female ratio was 13:1 with the most common age group of presentation between the fourth and fifth decades of life. Abdominal pain was the most common symptom (92%) and hepatomegaly was observed in 94% of the cases. Ultrasonogram of the abdomen served as the most useful diagnostic aid. Right lobe abscess was observed in 87% of the cases. Abscess was single in 81.5% of cases. Abscess size of more than 4 cm was observed in 46.5% of the cases. Metronidazole and chloroquine were found to be effective in most cases. Aspiration was done in 35.5% of cases. The complications encountered in this study were pleural effusion (two cases), pneumonic consolidation (four cases), pericardial effusion (one case) and ascitis (two cases).     

Profile of a cancer detection camp

The organisation and management of a cancer detection camp in rural area of Andhra Pradesh with the help of Lions Club and medical college staff were described. People with any one of the seven warning signals of cancer were asked to attend the camp. More women, most of them in reproductive age, attended the camp with unusual vaginal bleeding and lump in the breast. Among men, a large group complained of chronic cough. Smear for Papanicolaou's stain was used as a tool for screening of cervical cancer. Ten patients (2.5%) had malignant lesions and 16 patients (4.0%) had premalignant lesions. The programme of prevention, public health education and early detection of cancer can be put into action, successfully through cancer detection camps organised in rural areas.
