Predicaments of the closed ward staff.

Coordinated team work is a sine qua non for efficient functioning of a therapeutic ward. Extreme violence on the part of a patient may disrupt the working relationship within the team to the extent of causing its members to question their choice of profession. Physical assaults and allegations of professional or personal misconduct brought forward by a patient and his/her family may undermine the competence of the attending staff. Recognition by the health, legal and psychiatric authorities of the difficulties to which the personnel on an acute closed ward is continually exposed may alleviate staff burnout. This in turn will contribute to better management of the patients.

Experimental study of the nutritional biological characters of fermented milks.

Fermented milks (yogurt, kefir, sour milk), compared with milk for their non-protein nitrogen and free amino-nitrogen contents gave higher values prior to as well as 1, 2 and 3 h after pepsin digestion in vitro. In feeding trials of 6 weeks duration with diets based on casein, milk and fermented milks, respectively, those groups of weanling (50 to 60 g) male Wistar rats showed the maximum increments of body mass which had been fed the diets based on fermented milks. The highest values of the protein utilization index (increase in body mass in g per protein intake in g) were found in the animals kept on the fermented milk products. The favourable protein utilization and body mass increment on fermented milk diets are attributed to a better digestibility of proteins in these products.

Effect of fermented milk diets on regeneration of the rat liver.

In a comparative study of milk versus fermented milk (yogurt, kefir, sour milk) diets concerning their effect on body mass and on liver regeneration in partially (70%) hepatectomized male CFY rats significantly higher values were found three weeks after the operation in the groups fed on fermented milk diets than in those fed on milk-based diets. No differences between the chemical components of the regenerated liver (solids, total lipids, total N) were found either between the individual groups, or between the various groups and the control. The regenerated liver corresponded to the normal organ in every respect. The values reflecting the increments of solids, total lipids and total N of the regenerating liver, whether expressed in absolute figures or in per cents, were found to be higher in the animals fed fermented milk diets than in those fed milk-based diets. The invention that the biochemical changes associated with bacterial fermentation of milk are beneficial to liver regeneration provides new evidence in support of the high biological nutritive value of fermentation.
