[Ischemic cerebrovascular accidents in childhood. Problems of neuroradiological diagnosis].

The authors present 19 cases of stroke with subsequent hemiplegia in children from 5 months to 15 years of age. These cases are not strictly correlated with haematologic alterations. The aetiopathogenesis remains uncertain in the most of patients, in which predisposing causes are absent and angiographic pictures do not demonstrate anatomical lesions or occlusions of cerebral vessels. In our series, cerebral angiography was performed in 16 children and showed vascular alterations only in 6 cases. CT scan some time after the acute hemiplegia, demonstrated low-density areas in 12 cases over 17 examined, with the characteristic evolution of ischemic lesions.

[Cerebral changes shown by computed tomography in children with acute lymphatic leukemia after therapy].

The authors discuss the CT findings of the late brain damage by the radiochemotherapic treatment for the prophylaxis of meningeal leukemia in 50 patients, 1 divided by 15 years old. The more frequent CT findings are: enlargement of the subaracnoid spaces; ventricular dilatation; hypodensity of cerebral parenchima; calcifications. These findings correspond to two clinical and anatomo-pathological conditions: subacute leucoencephalopathy and mineralizing microangiopathy. A greater damage on central nervous system was demonstrated in younger children (5 years old) at the time of prophylaxis of meningeal leukemia, that were irradiated with NSD = 950 ret.

[Value and limits of C.T. scan in neurologics diseases in infancy and childhood (author's transl)].

The results obtained in 151 children who underwent C.T. scan at the Pediatric Department of the University of Padova are reported. The high incidence of negative or aspecific results in the cases of static encephalopathy, in primary generalized epilepsy and in acute diffuse cerebral infectious process is emphasized. C.T. confirmed its high diagnostic value in tuberous sclerosis and cerebral abscess. While non providing the precise diagnosis it may be helpful in some demyelinating diseases. In secondary generalized epilepsy and in partial epilepsy C.T. scan may suggest the prognosis and a possible surgical approach. On the basis of these results and of other published reports a greater selectivity in the use of C.T. is strongly recommended.

[The frontal bonding of a microprosthesis with respect to arch physiognomy].

A series of 4124 patients who presented at the Gnathoprosthetic Clinic of Iasi with dental coronary lesions were investigated. The dental lesions situated at the level of frontal arches, the possibilities of aggregating the microprostheses at this level and the clinical-technical procedure of realizing them were studied. By the joint efforts of the entire dental team, artificial substitutes completing the lack of dental substance were obtained and the physiognomic function, cosmetic harmony and facial esthetics were fully restored.

The development of a relevant and comprehensive research agenda to improve Hispanic health.

The development of an appropriate research agenda for Hispanics requires progress in three areas: (a) developing an appropriate research infrastructure, (b) increasing the availability of appropriate research instrumentation, and (c) identifying and assigning priority areas. In addition, a Latino health research agenda must identify mechanisms for increasing the number of trained Hispanic researchers and the number of Latino professional staff members at the Department of Health and Human Services. It is recommended that an Office of Hispanic Health be established within the Office of Minority Health at the Department to oversee the implementation of the recommendations made as part of the Surgeon General's National Hispanic Health Initiative.
