[Complications of the nephrotic syndrome].

We described the case of a 27-year-old man presenting pulmonary embolism and hyperlipidaemia. Subsequent investigation revealed that he was affected by renal vein thrombosis and nephrotic syndrome due to membranous glomeruloephritis. Nephrotic syndrome complications are numerous and may represent the first sign of the syndrome. Among these complications we find thromboembolism, infections, negative nitrogen balance and renal failure. There are very few prognostic indicators that enable the prediction of nephrotic syndrome complications. Recent advances in the understanding of alterations in the metabolism of circulating and somatic proteins associated with proteinuria and hypooncotic condition have led to new insights into the pathophysiologic processes associated with the syndrome.

[Oral cancer].

Oral cancer (OC) is a rather frequent pathology representing about 30% of head and neck malignant neoplasms. After many years the incidence of the pathology shows constant values; the male:female ratio is continuously decreasing and at present, it is about of 2:1. The delay in diagnosis is the main cause of unsuccessful treatment and of the high values of poor outcome. OC shows three clinical aspects: exophytic, ulcerative and infiltrative; lips and margins of tongue are the most interested sites. For the diagnosis a correct clinical examination and a biopsy, possibly made with incisional criteria are necessary.

Caries-risk assessment: the role of salivary tests.

Although the incidence of caries has diminished dramatically over the past 3 decades, small groups of subjects remain highly susceptible and do not respond to conventional preventive programs. An accurate individual caries-risk assessment allows to identify the etiological factors responsible for the disease and design a rational approach to treatment, addressed to the specific needs of the patients. The use of appropriate caries-risk prediction models, which include the use of simple chairside caries-susceptibility salivary tests, is the most suitable and modern approach to the problem. A review of the literature on salivary tests, at present available, able to identify the factors contributing to caries susceptibility, is presented. Each test is accurately described, with regard both to its procedure and the interpretation of its results:

[Epidemiological and clinical study of dental agenesis].

This work realized thanks to exchange by IFMSA happened at Medical School Praga's invitation, describes two researchs. The first presents the casuistry of scholastic czechoslovak population; the second 87 cases with multiple teeth agenesis observed at Pedodontic's Clinical of Praga's Hospital Motol. The Authors, after describing the review of literature about epidemiology, etiopathogenetic, symptomatology and diagnosis aspects, present a personal contribution in accordance with existing literature.

[A clinical study of cyclopyroxolamine versus clotrimazole in the treatment of mycotic vulvovaginitis].

The therapeutic efficacy and tolerability of the antifungal agent ciclopiroxolamine have been verified with a double-blind study versus clotrimazole in 46 patients affected by vulvovaginal candidiasis. The patients of the first group (23) have been treated with ciclopiroxolamine globules, one 100 mg globule nightly for six days; the second group (23 patients) received clotrimazole vaginal tablets, one 200 mg tablet nightly for six days. Ciclopiroxolamine treatment showed an equivalent effectiveness to that of clotrimazole both on signs and symptoms and on vaginal smear culture. No local or systemic adverse reaction was observed.

[Costs of caries therapy and prevention in a school].

The prevalence of dental caries in the school children population in Rieti is very high, according to low levels of fluoride content in drinkable water, similar to those detected in other areas of Italy and Europe. The aim of our research is to propose a combined prevention protocol, utilizing fluoride tablets and dental therapy through structures already existing in the public health national organization. The application of this combined (profilaxis-therapy) protocol is expected to decrease the prevalence of dental caries to 50% in a five years period, at a very accettable cost. This protocol should find early application, possibly starting from maternal schools.

[Orthodontic-surgical treatment of impacted canines. Clinical and therapeutic aspects of disimpaction].

An attempt was made to classify the various positions assumed by included canines in order to identify the most appropriate treatment. The surgical phase is indubitably decisive for correct repositioning. The possible corrective techniques are described together with several useful ideas for use in the exposure phase in order to facilitate the procedure and minimal subsequent orthodontic work, while ensuring maximum stability of both tooth and periodontal tissue at the end of the repositioning.

[Fine needle aspiration in the cytologic diagnosis of swellings in the parotid and submandibular regions. Cytologic-histologic correlations in 49 cases].

Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) has been widely used for a number of years and offers considerable advantages in comparison to conventional surgical biopsy. A number of organs can be subject to this diagnostic procedure with good results, including the salivary glands. This paper aimed to compare the cytological diagnosis of biopsy material obtained using FNAB and the subsequent histological diagnosis formulated after surgery in 49 patients with swellings in the parotid or submandibular region who were referred to the Department of Anatomy and Pathological Histology in L'Aquila. Cytohistological concordance was present in 87.7% of the cases in this series, a percentage that is in line with that reported by other authors. The most frequent causes of diagnostic error may be ascribed to moderate nodule size and/or the scanty material obtained not suitable for diagnosis. In this series all cases of malignant neoplasia were correctly diagnosed. In spite of the limitations of this method, the authors consider that it plays an important role in the preoperative diagnosis of salivary gland pathologies.
