Ultrasonographic assessment of intestinal damage in fetuses with gastroschisis: is it of clinical value?

In cases of gastroschisis detected prenatally it has been proposed that ultrasonographic criteria may play an important role in the decision for early delivery. We evaluated five cases of gastroschisis diagnosed before birth and found a correlation between prenatally detected small bowel dilatation and severe intestinal damage. However, from the limited data available these in utero measurements seem to be ineffective as indicators for delivery intervention (1) because not all fetuses with bowel dilatation have postnatal evidence of intestinal damage, (2) because some infants with intestinal damage and a poor postnatal outcome may show no in utero evidence of bowel dilatation, (3) because initial bowel dilatation may occur before a gestational age when lung maturity is achieved, and (4) because, in those cases in which bowel dilatation did correlate with intestinal damage, the bowel was already beyond the point of salvage and the infant required bowel resection.

[Current viewpoints and methods in caries diagnosis].

Results obtained in the caries pathogenesis in recent years as well as the successes in the field of remineralization opened the way to heal the initial stage of the caries by means of preventive methods. Increased attention should be paid to early diagnostics of the caries, and evolution of the new diagnostics methods should be followed by attention. Combined employment of the various diagnostics methods should be aimed at.

[Xerostomia as a side effect of drugs].

After a definition of xerostomia and a description of it's diagnostics and consequences the most important etiological factors are reviewed with special emphasis on drugs inducing xerostomia as an adverse effect. The most important drugs concerned are summarized in a table indicating generic names as well as proprietary names of preparations marketed in Hungary. Possible therapeutic approaches are also described.
