A comprehensive treatment program for severely impaired geriatric patients.

Many elderly patients have psychiatric and medical needs that are not met by the traditional care offered at state hospitals, acute psychiatric services, or nursing homes. At Garfield Geropsychiatric Hospital, a program of intensive evaluation and multidisciplinary treatment that emphasizes rehabilitation has been successful in maintaining or restoring independent functioning for severely impaired geriatric patients. The program also benefits the mental health system by reducing the inappropriate use of state hospital and acute psychiatric services, and by providing a first important step toward a comprehensive network of mental health services for the elderly.

[Interactions of phenylbutazone and oxyphenbutazone with glymidine (author's transl)].

In healthy subjects plasma concentrations of 2-benzenesulfonylamino-4-(beta-methoxy-ethoxy)pyrimidine (glymidine) are considerably elevated during ingestion of 600 mg oxyphenbutazone additionally to 500 mg glymidine per day. In contrast phenylbutazone has only a slight and not significant effect on the glymidine plasma concentrations. In vitro equilibrium dialysis experiments show a decrease of serum protein binding of glymidine after the addition of phenylbutazone and oxyphenbutazone. The increase of the glymidine plasma concentrations together with the decrease of serum protein binding is predestined to lead to an increased pharmacodynamic effect of the drug.

[The use of composites (with referenceto their technological and clinical properties)].

In the present paper the authors report of the pulp tolerance, marginal adaptation, abrasive behaviour and discolouration of composites. Starting from these properties, they deal with indications, cavity preparation, pulp protection, enamel etching, processing and finishing. Finally, the composites are evaluated with reference to recent findings.

A group behavior modification approach to adolescent obesity.

This article describes a group weight control project with severely obese adolescent girls in a medical setting. Behavior modification and nutritional principles were utilized with peer group interaction. Significant others were included through separate group meetings. This approach produced small amounts of net weight loss for the girls. The drop-outs continued to have a net gain. As a treatment method, this program was more effective for these girls than previous individual clinic contacts had been. When losing weight, the girls tended to use behavior modification techniques more often, and their diets became more adequate nutritionally. Development of group cohesion was tenuous and temporary. Girls who were functioning more independently appeared to do better in weight loss. Disinterested significant others were preferable to nonsupportive ones. A predictive factor was identified, the girls' perception of control. This was measured by the I-E test. Those with a more internalized perception of control were more likely to continue with the program and more likely to lose weight. Because the patient group was small, findings are tentative. However, this program helped to define particular areas that deserve further exploration.

[Comparative studies of caries epidemiology using skulls from the Iron, Slavic, and Middle Ages as well as modern subjects (author's transl)].

The present paper compares the incidence and intensity of caries (DMF caries index) determined on skulls from the Iron, Slavic, and Middle Ages with corresponding results obtained for a modern civilized population. More specifically, the results reported in this paper were obtained from clinical and roentgenological examinations of 371 skulls from the ages referred to above as well as of 10,340 inhabitants of the city of Rostock. The results indicate a marked increase in cariosity between the Iron Age and the present time. This increase in the incidence and intensity of caries is considered to be due predominantly to the abrasion resulting from the then preparation and composition of food (which contained as much as 3 percent of stone dust), whereby an essential point of predilection for caries is removed.

[The problem of damage to the tooth germ by ionizing radiation].

Experiments on animals (four-week-old dogs) were conducted in an investigation made to study the possibility of dose-dependent tooth-germ damage produced by ionizing radiation. The individual doses were 50 r and 200 r, respectively, and they were administered once to three times at weekly intervals. Hyperemia and edemata could be observed on tooth-germ pulps from 150 r onward. Both of these conditions became more acute as the radiation dose increased (from 150 r to 600 r). Possible damage to both the dentin and enamel is pointed out.

[Decisive factors in the indication for pulp and peridontal treatment].

The explanation of the goal of pulp-periodontium treatment is followed by guidelines concerning the indication for the methods of pulp preservation (indirect capping, direct capping, pulpitis treatment by means of anaesthetics), of partial pulp preservation (vital amputation) and for pulpectomy (vital and non-vital techniques). The different passages of the paper terminate with conclusions for practice.

[Working time analysis in conservative dentistry (dental filling therapy)].

The purpose of the present paper was to determine the time required for filling therapy. The authors deal briefly with the subdivision of time adopted for the present study. Conclusions as to planning in dental practice may be drawn from the results obtained only if values determined by different dentists are available for comparison.

[Epidemiologic studies. I. Secondary caries in tooth areas restored by silver-tin-amalgam, silicate cement or inlays].

On the basis of epidemiologic studies on 10 106 sugjects from the population of the town of Rostock, the authors deal with the frequency of filled tooth areas and their affection by secondary caries with special regard to filling materials (silver-tin amalgam, silicate cement, inlay). The low frequency of secondary caries in tooth areas restored by means of inlays is noteworthy. Finally, the authors give recommendations for practice.

[The diffusion constant for water in dentin in extracted healthy juvenile teeth].

The authors point to the diffusion processes in dental hard tissues and describe a personal method for determining the diffusion constant in dentine. The diffusion constant in the dentine of permanent teeth from adolescents is 0.74 - 10(-2) cm2/d, measured by means of radioactively labelled water. The necessity for further studies is emphasized.

[Studies on the thickness of the hard tissue coating in the 1st upper deciduous molars with special reference to the shape of the crown].

The report is on metric examinations of the thickness of the hard substance coating of the first upper milk molars based on 122 tooth cuts (longitudinal and transversal) and on the shape of the crowns of these teeth. The measurements were made by means of a stereomicroscope SM XX number 551 190 (VEB Carl Zeiss, Jena), and the results were statistically evaluated.

[Comparative studies on the shape of the interproximal surfaces].

Studies on the shape of interproximal contact in the lower side teeth region were performed in 203 persons and 73 models. In 74,9% of cases a spheric-plane and in 25,1% a more punctuous-plane contact was registered. These findings are compared with observations of the interproximal abrasion of the lower premolars and molars in roe.
