Frequency of major pediatric illnesses hospitalized in Taiwan.

From January 1987 to December 1989, there were a total of 158,576 pediatric admissions to 24 major hospitals in Taiwan. The most common diseases leading to admission included respiratory tract disease (28.88%), neonatal illness (18.44%), gastrointestinal tract disease (14.20%) and common infectious diseases (8.45%). More than half (58.8%) of the children with respiratory tract disease had bronchopneumonia, and 80.8% of the children with gastrointestinal tract disease suffered from diarrhea. During the three-year study period, the average number of children under 14 years of age in Taiwan was 5,556,839. The frequency of each major illness per 1,000 children-years was thus 2.75 for respiratory tract disease, 1.75 for neonatal illness, 1.35 for gastrointestinal tract disease, 0.84 for common infectious disease, 0.49 for cardiovascular disease, 0.38 for neurological disorders, 0.27 for allergic diseases, 0.27 for hemato-oncologic disease, 0.14 for accidents, 0.13 for renal disease and 0.02 for metabolic disease.

A study of greyhounds with tonsillar enlargement and a history of poor racing performance.

Fifteen greyhounds with tonsillar enlargement were subjected to detailed investigation. Affected greyhounds exhibited coughing, poor racing performance and tonsillar lymphoid hyperplasia over a period of months. Each of the 15 affected animals had evidence of respiratory tract disease. Twelve had non-specific respiratory tract disease, two had pneumonia and one had pulmonary infiltration with eosinophils (PIE). Histopathological examination of the tonsils from affected dogs revealed that greyhounds with tonsillar enlargement are more likely to have tonsillar lymphoid hyperplasia than tonsillitis. As a result, lymphoid hyperplasia would be a suitable term to describe this tonsillar condition. Respiratory tract diseases, rather than tonsillar hyperplasia, was the more likely cause of the poor racing performance of affected dogs. The aetiological relationship, if any, between respiratory disease and tonsillar enlargement is unclear from this study and requires further investigation.

[Diagnostics upon hospital release of immigrants in the city of Valencia, Spain (2001-2002)].

BACKGROUND: Immigration has increased remarkably in Spain over the past ten years. For theoretical reasons, the question has been raised as to whether this population may possibly be responsible for a rise in the incidence and/or transmission of infectious diseases. However, very few studies have been conducted regarding the diseases among this group which would afford the possibility of ascertaining the importance of this statement. This study is aimed at quantifying the hospital care provided to this population in the city of Valencia. METHODS: The hospital release records were obtained from the Admissions Departments of the public hospitals in the city of Valencia. A one-year retrospective observational study was conducted throughout the October 1, 2001-September 30, 2002 period. RESULTS: We retrieved 8,444 hospital admissions identifying 1,577 hospital admissions of immigrants. Similar percentages of immigrants recorded with their documentation in proper order (841; 51.16%) and immigrants supposedly undocumented (803; 48.84%) were found. Females (68.3%) were predominant over males (31.7%), and a mean age of under 30 years of age. The most frequent diagnosis on release was "pregnancy, childbirth and post-partum-related complications", totaling 37.7% of all releases, others involving, "injuries and poisoning" (12.9%), "digestive tract diseases" (7.8%) and "respiratory tract diseases" (5.4%), "Infectious and parasitic diseases" totaled 4.4%. CONCLUSIONS: The percentage of infectious and infectious-contagious diseases found did not contribute to encouraging the opinions disseminated regarding the importing or re-emergence of diseases from the immigrant groups. The en masse immigration which has taken place requires many adaptations of the Healthcare System to afford the possibility of setting out the health profile for this group based on population estimates.

[Bee products for treatment of diseases of mouth and upper respiratory tract].

Production of spray (from bee products), which is used for mouth and upper respiratory tract disease treatment and prevention, is described in this article. The optimal technology of spray is prepared, and concentration of ethanol as extragent 70% and 15% of honey is determined. The preparation is called propomel. Methods of analysis were applied, investigations of stability were performed, time of suitableness was determined, as well as the normative and technical documentation was prepared.
