Plaque and systemic disease: a reappraisal of the focal infection concept.

The review presented here covers metastatic local and systemic disease secondary to the accumulation of plaque or the formation of other pathogenic microbial depots in the mouth. At least 3 pathways may link oral infection to secondary disease, to wit metastatic infection due to transient bacteremia, metastatic immunological injury, and metastatic toxic injury. The available evidence is presented and examples are provided. They concern among others such divergent diseases as acute bacterial myocarditis, infective endocarditis, brain abscess, uveitis and iridocyclitis, trigeminal and atypical facial neuralgia, unilateral facial paralysis, fever of "unknown' origin, and neutrophil dysfunction.

Radiographic interpretation of the mandibular angular cortex: a diagnostic tool in metabolic bone loss. Part II. Renal osteodystrophy.

Panoramic radiographs of patients with chronic renal failure showed a loss of cortical bone at the mandibular angle; the loss of cortical bone correlated very well with the degree of renal osteodystrophy, established by biopsy of the undecalcified iliac crest. The value of using the cortical thickness at the mandibular angle as a parameter in diagnosing metabolic bone loss is discussed.

Predisposing factors in Bell's palsy: a clinical study with reference to diabetes mellitus, hypertension, clotting mechanism and lipid disturbance.

The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency of risk factors for vascular disease like hypertension, lipid disturbances and diabetes mellitus in a group of patients with Bell's palsy. These patients were compared to patients with a peripheral facial paralysis of known origin. We did find a statistically significant difference between the Bell's palsy patients and their controls for cardio-vascular variables only. Hypertension proved to be by far the most important single discriminating variable.

Wegener's granulomatosis, serous otitis media and sinusitis.

A description is given of two patients suffering from Wegener's granulomatosis. The first manifestations were an acute sinusitis and an acute otitis media, with sterile granulomatosis tissue in the diseased organs, high fever and joint complaints. Thereafter the general symptoms of the disease showed themselves. The immediate response to treatment with cytotoxic and corticosteroid drugs was encouraging.

Critical evaluation of low-dose heparin in laryngectomy.

In a clinical trial thromboembolic prophylaxis with subcutaneous low-dose heparin was given to 20 patients admitted for surgery on the larynx. All patients (40 totally) had a malignancy. The study was not primarily directed on the antithrombotic effect, but on complication factors. In the control group pulmonary embolism was found four times, but not in the group of patients receiving heparin. No increase of blood loss in the heparin group appeared, although this group included very difficult operations. No complications were seen to arise from the injections of the heparin.
