Monitoring of plasma total antioxidant status in different diseases.

The pathological increase of oxygen free radical generation has already been recognised in more than one hundred diseases. To gain information about the consequences of oxidative stress the investigation of plasma antioxidants seems to be plausible. In our study we used a new kit (RANDOX, England) for measurement of total antioxidant status (TAS) to determine whether it has diagnostic value in comparison with our earlier results of measuring other parameters of oxidative stress in the following diseases: i./In the group of patients with ischemic heart disease (n = 19) the TAS elevated from 1.08 +/- 0.13 to 1.16 +/- 0.11 mM after 2 weeks of cardioprotective drug administration showing the beneficial effect of drug treatment. ii./In the group of patients with essential hypertension (n = 47) its values were below the normal range (1.11 +/- 0.15 mM) at the time of the first investigation and increased gradually following antihypertensive treatment. iii./The changes of TAS values of patients who underwent open (n = 21) or laparoscopic (n = 21) cholecystectomy indicated the less surgical trauma following laparoscopic procedures. Our results suggest that determination of TAS is a valuable and reproducible method to detect the actual antioxidant status in patients.

[Cariologic and periodontal screening of children aged 7, 12 and 14 years in the city of Debrecen. II. Periodontal status and need for treatment].

The aim of present survey was to gain epidemiological data on periodontal condition of 7, 12 and 14 yrs old (40 children in 7, 92 children in 12 and 84 children in 14 yrs old groups) schoolchildren as assessed by the CPITN. The peridontal health of children proved to be very poor. Only 33.3% of 7 yrs old, 20.9% of 12 yrs and 13.1% of 14 yrs old children showed healthy gingiva. Bleeding on probing was observed in 66.7% of 7 yrs old group, in 19.8% of 12 and in 16.7% of 14 yrs old groups. The calculus prevalence was 0.0% of 7 yrs old children, 56.0% in 12 and 44.7% in 14 yrs old groups. Oral hygiene instruction was needed by 66.7% of 7, 79.1% of 12 and 86.9% of 14 yrs old children. Scaling was necessary in 11.1% of 7, 59.3% of 12 and 70.2% of 14 yrs old groups. Complex treatment was needed in none of the groups examined.

Solid tumors in children.

A thorough understanding of the incidence, clinical presentation, treatment, prognosis, and psychosocial issues surrounding children with solid tumors enables the nurse to actively participate on the health care team. Although significant advances over the past two-and-a-half decades to improve the outcomes of children with cancer have occurred, there remains room for continued improvement, especially among children with advanced-stage nephroblastoma, neuroblastoma, HCC, and teratoma.

[Cariologic and periodontal screening of children aged 7, 12 and 14 years of age in Debrecen. I. Prevalence of caries and need for treatment].

A WHO survey was carried out earlier on caries prevalence in the 12-year olds. No data are available in the 7- and 14 year old children. The aim of this study was to investigate caries prevalence (DMFT, dmft numbers), percentage of caries free children and treatment needs in these three age-groups. The clinical examination was based on WHO's criteria. DMF numbers were 0,12, 2,11 and 2,51 in 7-, 12- and 14-year old, while dmf numbers were 0,79, 0,51 and 0,05 respectively. Percentage of caries-free children was 25% (aged 7), 3,3% (aged 12) and 3,6% (aged 14) in the primary teeth, 87,5% (aged 7), 3,3% (aged 12) and 0 (aged 14) in the permanent teeth. There is no treatment need in 27,5, 22,8 and 17,9% of studied groups. Extraction need was 0, 4,3 and 3,6% in 7-, 12- and 14-year-old. Restorations need was the following: one surface: 45, 65,2 and 71,4%, two surfaces 57,5%, 37, 52,4%, three surfaces: 35, 8,7, 16,7%, more than three surfaces or crown: 2,5, 1,1 and 2,4% at the age of 7, 12, 14 years. The number of DMF and dmf teeth was lower at the 12-year-old children than the previous Hungarian data.

1993 up & comers.

The achievements of the healthcare industry in the 21st century will depend on the quality of its leadership. In recognition of the contributions of the new generation of healthcare executives, MODERN HEALTHCARE salutes its 1993 Up & Comers. They are a group of healthcare professionals, all 40 or younger, who have refused to be restricted by the ways of the past. Instead, they have contributed to efforts to improve the quality of medical care, expand access to the system and reconfigure the delivery system. The group, whose accomplishments are outlined in the following pages, were selected from a field of nearly 50 candidates nominated by MODERN HEALTHCARE's editorial staff and magazine readers.
