The diagnosis and treatment of orthodontic problems.

Veterinary orthodontics is the most recent and untouched discipline in veterinary dentistry. A thorough understanding of the craniofacial growth, development, and principles of orthodontics is important to identify malocclusions and to develop treatment planning. Once a treatment schedule is devised, the potential problems of orthodontic movement must be addressed and understood so that correct movement is accomplished while the animal's health is maintained.

Prevention of recurrent myocardial infarction and sudden death with aspirin therapy.

In October 1985, the Food and Drug Administration approved a new indication of aspirin for the secondary prevention of recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) and death in patients with MI or unstable angina. Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of this drug, especially when treatment is begun soon after the initial event. The antiplatelet actions of aspirin seem to be the most plausible explanation for its efficacy in reducing mortality and the rate of reinfarction. A single daily 325-mg tablet is effective and produces side-effect incidences of only zero to two percent above those produced by placebo. This article assesses the current state of knowledge regarding the value of aspirin therapy in survivors of acute MI and the implications for clinical practice.

Oral surgery. Basic techniques.

Some of the clinical problems most frequently seen in veterinary dentistry and their surgical solutions are discussed. Extraction of teeth, surgical repositioning of teeth, tooth transplant, oral abscesses of tooth origin, impaction of teeth, repair of maxillary canine oronasal fistula, and simple techniques for oral wiring are among the issues considered.

Drug use among native American young adults.

Young adult Native American students at a postsecondary educational institute showed a very high level of use of all drugs when compared with other samples of college age youth. Alcohol, marijuana, and amphetamines were drugs of choice: 31% had tried inhalants although there was little present use; 10% were involved in a drug subculture, using multiple drugs relatively heavily. The authors' interpretation of these findings is either the institution attracts drug users or young Native Americans from relatively isolated environments have higher susceptibility to drugs when they enter an urban (nonreservation) culture.

Cervical osteoid osteoma: a cause of chronic upper back pain.

A case of an osteoid osteoma occurring in the cervical spine and presenting as scapular and arm pain has been described. Correct diagnosis was delayed for 2 years. Plain radiographs may fail to demonstrate a lesion in the spine. Radiographic evaluation, when osteoid osteoma is a possibility, should include bone scanning. If the bone scan is abnormal, tomography of the area is indicated. If the diagnosis is still unclear, selective angiography may reveal the tumor blush typical of osteoid osteoma. In certain instances, a myelogram may be helpful to establish whether there is encroachment on the spinal canal or nerve root.
