The methods of treatment of dental caries and its complications (pulpitis and periodontitis) with the use of modern stomatologic instruments and materials which should be applied in oral cavity sanation in military airmen are discussed in the article.
When WW II started, Canada had only 4 plastic surgeons. One of them, Dr. Ross Tilley, would treat hundreds of Allied airmen whose bodies needed massive reconstruction because of war injuries. These men became known as the guinea pigs, and Tilley would bring the lessons he learned on them back to Canada.
This study examined the weight standards used by the U.S. Air Force and tested whether Air Force personnel who exceed the maximum allowable weight standard are more likely to engage in health risk behaviors compared with individuals who do not exceed current Air Force weight standards. Participants were 32,144 individuals who completed basic military training from August 1995 to August 1996. Compared with body mass levels known to predict increased health risks, the Air Force maximum allowable weight standards were found to be more stringent for women than for men. Furthermore, exceeding the maximum allowable weight standard of the weight management programs did not consistently indicate that an individual engaged in a less healthy lifestyle than other airmen. Perhaps other risk factors, such as cigarette smoking, may be more closely linked to negative health consequences than body weight.
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed by in-house physicians is effective for long-term-care residents. DESIGN: Retrospective chart review. SETTING: Long-term-care facility with an intermediate care unit, skilled care unit, and a convalescent and assessment unit at a retirement community for veterans. PARTICIPANTS: All residents resuscitated from April 1987 to August 1990. All participants were male. The mean age was 75 years +/- 7.3 (range 42-93 years). MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: Charts were abstracted for demographics, advanced directives information, information about the arrest, and post-resuscitation course. RESULTS: Forty-five elderly residents underwent resuscitation during this period. Nine residents (20%) were successfully resuscitated, with seven dying within 24 hours of hospitalization. No residents survived to return to long-term care (95% CI, 0-7%). The diagnoses were consistent with age-related chronic disease. Seventeen (38%) arrests were witnessed. The predominant rhythm at onset of resuscitation was asystole. CONCLUSION: We conclude that cardiopulmonary resuscitation, even when performed by a trained and experienced physician and team, has limited benefit for elderly long-term-care populations.
