Epidemiology of nondental oral disease in the elderly.

This article presents the descriptive epidemiology, risk factors, and clinical highlights of the oral mucosal lesions that are most common or of greatest concern among the elderly. Leukoplakia, oral cancer, candidiasis, lichen planus, and RAU have not been studied extensively among the elderly. Recent efforts to standardize definitions and research methods should greatly enhance future information. The paucity of research on oral lesions such as herpes zoster, epulis, and oral medication reactions is surprising, given that these are common problems among the elderly.

Clinical assessment of azapropazone in rheumatoid arthritis.

Azapropazone was investigated in a 2-week double-blind clinical out-patient trial against placebo in 23 patients with definite rheumatoid arthritis. The drug was given at a dose of 1200 mg. per day before food. At this dose level the drug was shown to have an antirheumatic effect in terms of pain relief, articular tenderness and duration of morning stiffness.

Vibrio alginolyticus wound infection: case report and review.

Vibrio alginolyticus was associated with a littoral wound infection in an Arizonan injured near the Sea of Cortez. While this is the first instance from this estuary, the relatively recent increase in the number of isolates suggests both that most coastal waters are a natural habitat of the organism and that probably many previous isolates were incorrectly identified in the past. Mischaracterization most likely results from a gram-negative work-up routine deficient for the isolation of halophilic organisms. The morbid course of this case was in part predictable owing to the organism's resistance to several first choice antibiotics. The laboratory characteristics of V. alginolyticus and others in the Vibrio genus associated with maritime disease are reviewed.
