Noma (Cancrum Oris) associated with Kwashiorkor: a case report and review of the literature.

Noma (Cancrum Oris/Ulcerogingivostomstitis) is a rare devastating grangrenous orofacial disease. It may lead to severe facial mutilation and deformities with dysfunctional effects. This disease primarily affects malnourished children from underdeveloped countries. It has recently been associated with AIDS in North America and Western Europe. We will be reporting and discussing the pathogenesis, bacteriological complications and treatments according to the literature.

Gastric lipoma and mucocele of appendix. Case history.

An interesting coexistence of two rare diseases in the same patient is presented. A 51 year old female was operated for a benign tumor of the stomach, a lipoma of about 5 cm of the gastric antrum. After the tumor removal, a mucocele of the appendix was surprisingly found, for which an appendectomy was necessary. The clinical course was uneventful and one year after the operation the patient is in a good state of health. A short review of the literature accompanies the description of the case.

Characterization of the epidemiological process of HIV infection using some immunological markers.

In an attempt to elucidate the causes which led to the high percentage of HIV infection in the infantile population in Romania, the paper deals with the study of the evolution of the infection process, in the 0-6 years age group; the process was separately studied in children from closed collectivities (5,318 sera) and children living with their families (2,462). The study of the various patterns obtained with sera analysed by western-blot allowed of concluding that the massive spreading of the infection in both types of infantile population occurred in 1991-1992, the most intense process being reported in the 0-2 years age group (children from closed collectivities). The differences between the evolution of HIV infection epidemic in the above mentioned infantile populations and that noticed in adults are shown.

[Delayed rupture of the spleen in a multiply injured patient].

The authors present a case of delayed rupture of the spleen in a polytraumatised patient. This entity was defined as a late occurrence of signs and symptoms attributed to splenic injury not detected by diagnostic computed tomographic scanning during the initial examination. The mechanisms in which the delayed rupture of the spleen occurs are discussed and the conclusion is that the delayed rupture of the spleen represent a real clinical entity.

[The induction current, an ideal resource for the smelting of dental alloys].

The authors present an electrical furnace for melting dental alloys, made by the German company BEGO. This furnace uses electrical current of high frequency. The advantages of this melting method are the possibility of controlling the adequate melting temperature for a specific type of alloy, the fusion in a protective environment of rare gas and casting by associating the centrifugation with the vacuum. This leads to exact castings without any defects. The authors describe as a personal contribution an external cooling system capable of maintaining the furnace's parameters even when the water pressure is low.

[Guided impression in tooth preparation for the application of full veneer crowns].

In this study the authors emphasize the importance of the guiding impression for checking the depth of the tooth preparation for full veer crowns. For this purpose they took two impressions in heavy-body silicone before any tooth preparation was made. One of these impressions was cut from the buccal to the lingual aspect across the middle of the imprint of the tooth to be prepared. The other one was cut horizontally in a cervical and an occlusal half. We kept and repositioned from time to time over the preparation in order the distal half of the first impression and the cervical half of the second one to check for the adequate tooth reduction. This method of checking the tooth reduction is useful especially for undergraduates and young practitioners and has better results than the articulation paper.
