[Microdoses of BCG vaccine for prophylaxis in bladder cancer stage T1].

A prophylaxis with a minidose of BCG Vaccine (1 mgr.) is performed in vesical instillation during one year, to 108 patients bearing bladder cancer in the stage T1. In the first month the instillations are once a week, each fifteen days the second and third month and then, once a month for one year. An 19.4% of recurrences is obtained with an general average observation time of 37.3 months as well as an important increase of muster populations of T lymphocytes and a positive test of dinitroclorobenzene. As complications we have obtained an inguinal BCG adenitis and in a few cases disury and frequency for two or three days. We conclude that the doses of the BCG vaccine used during the period of one year, is satisfactory in the reduction of recurrences and without important complications.

The eastern Cree bush-kit program evaluation; its usefulness.

In 1982 the Cree Board of Health and Social Services of James Bay in northern Quebec created the bush-kit program to provide hunters and trappers with the technical skills to handle medical problems in the bush. A formative evaluation of the program revealed a decrease in calls and in medical evacuations from the bush and high levels of satisfaction among the participants, health professionals and community leaders. However, specific service accessibility problems were identified at the time of the evaluation as indicated by participation rates of only 50% of the targeted hunters and trappers. These findings as well as discussions with bush-kit administrators led to subsequent improvements in the program and an increased participation rate the following year.
