Congenital triangular alopecia.
We report a child with bilateral congenital triangular alopecia. Shaving the scalp and inserting intravenous cannulas into scalp vessels during the neonatal period was misconstrued by the parents as the cause of hair loss, and resulted in medicolegal implications.
Anogenital warts in prepubertal children; sexual abuse or not?
Forty-two prepubertal children presenting with anogenital (AG) warts (15 boys and 27 girls) were prospectively followed up (mean 15.9 months, SD 12.24). Most (73.8%) of these children had perianal condylomatous-type warts and 11 (26.2%) had concurrent non-genital (NG) warts. None had any other AG infections or sexually transmitted disease (STD). Twelve (28.6%) children acquired their AG warts by vertical transmission from an infected maternal birth canal, 3 (7.1%) by autoinoculation from common hand warts and 2 children (4.8%) through sexual abuse. In the remaining 25 children (59.5%) mode of acquisition of AG warts was uncertain but not thought to be sexual. Human papilloma virus (HPV) DNA (types 6/11, 16/18 or 31,33,35-31+) was detected in 10/32 (31.3%) of AG warts biopsied from these children, types 6/11 in the majority of positive biopsies (9/10). Detection of HPV DNA (types 6/11, 16/18 or 31+) in a child's AG warts was significantly associated with either vertical or sexual transmission (P < 0.02). Thirty-one children had their warts treated with a combination of scissor excision and electrocautery under general anaesthesia. Warts recurred in 10 (31.4%) of these children all within 4 months following treatment. Spontaneous resolution of AG warts was seen in 9 (21.4%) children. Of 42 children with AG warts 10 (23.8%) had at least one adult family member with AG warts, 13 (36.9%) on adult family member with another AG infection or STD, and 23 (62.2%) had a mother with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Twenty (47.6%) of these children had a family member with NG warts.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
[A decrease in harm: a new concept for Russian public health].
The main principles of the concept of the "decrease of harm", realized in many countries of the world, are presented and the expediency of using this concept in Russia is substantiated. The beginning of the realization of the Project "Decrease of Harm: the Russian Federation", aimed at training specialists capable of carrying out prophylactic work among users of intravenous drugs (UID), is demonstrated. The principles of the selection of the groups of trainees are shown: the groups are made up of physicians working at AIDS centres, specialists in narcology and representatives of non-governmental organizations. The course of training provides the basic information on the strategy of the prophylaxis of HIV infection among UID, including evaluation and study, outreach, change of syringes and needles, replacement therapy, the program of the treatment of drug addiction. At the present moment 46 specialists from 18 regions of Russia are taking the course of training.
[Harm Reduction--its history and practice].
In September 1997, Médecins sans Frontières-Holland (MSF-H) began a project to provide training and support for HIV/AIDS prevention among injecting drug users in the Russian Federation. The training course is based on the use of the Rapid Assessment Methodology developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) Programme on Substance Abuse (WHO, 1997) and the European Peer Support Manual (Trautmann and Barendregt, 1994) developed by the Trimbos Institute for the European Commission (both of which have been translated into Russian and, where necessary, adapted for use in Russia), as well as significant articles and books. The training programme also receives advice from the reports to UNAIDS Task Force on HIV Prevention among injecting drug users in Eastern Europe and the Newly Independent States. MSF-H is a permanent member of this Task Force.
