[Hypertension treatment and ability to drive a large vehicle].

The principles of the judgment of the ability of driving a motor vehicle during the antihypertensive medicamentous long-term therapy are discussed. Taking into consideration complications depending on pressure the experienced hypertensive therapy with avoidance of side-effects of medicaments endangering traffic is no contraindication for driving a motor vehicle. The judgment must be carried out in a different way for professional drivers and private drivers. The patients with hypertension shall be instructed and referred to their own responsibility in driving a motor vehicle.

[Changes in the social situation of old-age pensioners in a city (an interval study) (author's transl)].

The results of the study reveal that on the one hand a considerable share of the care required by ageing citizens is provided by members of their family, their friends and neighbours, but on the other hand that due to the forms of life of modern society, especially in cities, the management and organization of the care of the aged must be improved in all its stages in order to register and help every single person in this category in need for help. To achieve this objective all bodies concerned with caring for aged people should work jointly and in a co-ordinated fashion. Owing to the fact that, in our opinion, the present organizational forms of social care no longer meet the requirements determined by the humanitarian objectives of our socialist state the authors propose that new approaches should be elaborated, discussed and introduced.

Luminal eccentricity and deformity in atherosclerotic coronary arteries.

Detailed analyses of the configuration of lumina from one hundred (100) segments of severely atherosclerotic epicardial coronary arteries (at least 75 p. 100 of the area of their original lumina narrowed, determined by planimetry) were made. All lumina were distended by a standardized coronary injection technique. In contrast to the general impression, concentric lumina occurred as commonly as eccentric lumina and there were more arteries with an eccentric lumen and/or with significant luminal deformity, i.e. with their smallest diameter smaller than 50 p. 100 of their greatest diameter, than the concentric and more regular ones. The eccentricity and significant deformity of atherosclerotic lumina apparently cause difficulties in precise angiographic measurements of coronary stenosis. To solve the problem of the discrepancies between angiographic and anatomical estimation of coronary arterial stenosis, utilization of more than three different projection angles should be considered in clinical angiographic appraisal.
