Oral diseases and veterinary dentistry.

Oropharyngeal disease is common in dogs and cats. Signs are seldom apparent to the owner until the disease is well advanced, and often are not specific for a particular disease. Signs include inappetence, pawing at the mouth, drooling of saliva, dysphagia, and halitosis. These signs can result from primary oral disease, or from effects of systemic or skin disease. Oral examination requires a cooperative patient; sedation may be necessary so that the entire oral cavity can be examined without causing the animal pain or risking injury to the examiner.

[Acute necrotizing gingivitis].

In the western countries, the acute necrotizing gingivitis occurs mainly in early adulthood. It is characterized by a marginal necrosis of the gingiva. The papillae appear to be punched out. The gingiva is painful and bleeds, and the patient often presents halitosis. This fusospirochetal infection invades the epithelium and the underlying connective tissue in its most superficial layer. With early acute necrotizing gingivitis, the use of chlorhexidine 0.2% is recommended, but a thorough scaling is still necessary. Antibiotics are used when the disease becomes more severe. Gingivoplasty may be required at the end of the treatment but a meticulous oral hygiene is the only way to prevent any recurrence of the disease.

[Functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (author's transl)].

Functional disroders are the most important cause for complaints in the gastrointestinal tract. Dysfunction may concern one or more physiologic properties like tonus, motility, secretion, sometimes also resorption and digestion, or their interaction. Functional disorders of the esophagus (esophagospasm and achalasia) become manifest as dysphagia. Halitosis, bad taste, burning tongue, and flatulent abdomen are frequent symptoms of functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Irritable bowel syndrome is probably the functional disorder most freqently found in the gastrointestinal tract. Characteristic symptoms are pain in the lower and upper middle abdominal region, obstipation and/or diarrhea, flatulent abdomen, mucous discharge with the stools and urgent defecation with cramps relieved after discharge. Prognosis quoad vitam is good, the course, however, is subject to many changes. Therapie is symptomatic. Diagnostic and psychotherapeutic measures are intended to help remove carcinophobia and to overcome conflicts and fears.

[Gastric trichobezoar: a case report (author's transl)].

We describe the case of an 11 years old girl admitted to investigate an abdominal mass. The patient presented with abdominal pain, halitosis, exhaustion, started about 1 year prior to admission. An upper gastrointestinal tract with barium and a gastric endoscopy showed a massive trichobezoar which was then surgically removed. A detailed medical history revealed a prolonged habit of trichophagia.

Te mahi niho hauora ki Ratana Pa: the dental health project at Ratana Pa.

Following the success of a dental health project provided for Maori communities along the Wanganui River by the Royal New Zealand Dental Corps, the people of Ratana Pa, 20 km south of Wanganui, requested a similar service. Funding for a pilot project was provided by the Central Regional Health Authority through Good Health Wanganui. The project was a joint venture between the Health Committee of Ratana Pa and Dental Health of Good Health Wanganui. The dental health of the people at Ratana Pa was generally poor, featuring a high rate of decay and serious periodontal disease. Severe halitosis was common. As a result of poor oral health, many patients, especially young women, were whakama, a state of embarrassment and shame that caused them to keep their teeth hidden. An increase in self-esteem and greater interest in dental health occurred after treatment. A second treatment phase began in March 1995. This community-driven Maori health initiative, in partnership with a Regional Health Authority, fulfils obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi.

Accessibility to minors of smokeless tobacco products--Broward County, Florida, March-June 1996.

Health consequences associated with use of smokeless tobacco (SLT) (i.e., snuff or loose-leaf or fine-cut chewing tobacco) products include halitosis, leukoplakia, and oral cancer. Periodontal degeneration and soft tissue lesions are early indicators of these conditions and diseases among persons who use SLT. Since October 1992, the sale of tobacco products to minors (i.e., persons aged < 18 years) has been prohibited by law in Florida, and since May 1994, Florida law has required businesses to post warning signs stating that tobacco sales to minors are illegal and that proof of age is required to purchase tobacco products such as SLT. To assess the impact of these laws on over-the-counter access to SLT by minors in Broward County (1990 population: 1,244,531), during March-June 1996 faculty from Florida Atlantic University's Department of Exercise Science/Wellness Education conducted a study to measure vendor compliance with tobacco minimum-age sale laws and with the sign statute. This report summarizes the findings of the assessments, which indicated that nearly one third of attempts by minors to purchase SLT products were successful.

[Chronic rhinosinusitis: predominant symptoms in children under 14 years of age who were seen at the Regional Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Allergic Diseases].

Chronic rhinosinusitis occurs to 5% of the population with upper respiratory infections. The objective of this study is to know the main symptoms in a pediatric population younger than 14 years with the diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis, to know age and sex distribution and evolution. We did a medical history, physical examination, nasal cytology, skin tests and sinus X rays in each of 100 patients. Results the main symptoms were: cough, halitosis, postnasal discharge, fever, headache, sore throat, facial sensitivity and periorbital edema. This findings predominated in males and the average evolution time was 1-2 years.

Management of a congenitally shortened soft palate in a dog.

An 8-week-old puppy that was examined because of a nasal discharge was found to have a congenitally shortened soft palate. The palate was partially rebuilt with pharyngeal flaps constructed from the tonsillar crypts. The reconstructed soft palate extended approximately 40% of the distance between the caudal aspect of the hard palate and rostral tip of the epiglottis. During the first 18 months after surgery, the dog had 3 episodes of halitosis, sneezing, and mucopurulent nasal discharge but responded to antimicrobial treatment. The dog was fed dry dog food and drank water from an elevated bowl. Water would flow from the dog's nose if it drank water with its head lowered. Compensatory mechanisms likely play an important role in the outcome of animals with this condition.

[Progressive noma: apropos of 27 cases seen at the National Hospital Center of Ouagadougou].

This retrospective study objects to report epidemiological profile, clinical display and take care of progressive noma at the National Hospital Center of Ouagadougou. We assign the term noma to the gangrenous gingivo-stomatitis occurring in a prone environment, leading in a few days into a sharp ulcer in the soft parts, accompanied by halitosis. This definition excludes noma like-lesions. 27 cases have been observed in the ENT department and the Paediatrics between 1991 and 1995. They were 17 boys and 10 girls aging between 2 and 8 years and most of them coming from families with modest income (76%). The consultation delay averaged 8 days. The research for associated pathologies showed 63% energizing and protein malnutrition. We only observed unilateral localisations and no case of extra-facial one. At the stage we received our patients, the gangrenous was formed and the aspect evoked noma right away. Quite a lot needs to be done for precocious diagnosis because it is at the beginning phase that best evolution is obtained. Even though no evidence of the responsibility of a specific pathogenic germ was established so far, nevertheless, the assumption that has more support remains that of a bacterial infection in a prone environment. The vital prognosis of the progressive noma appears to be much linked with intensive care and feeding again. The hope to see this poverty-linked pathology under control is essentially based on prevention: medical population information, medical personnel's awareness for early diagnosis and best take care of these patients, improvement of the living conditions of the people and the health care services.
