One of the causes of recurrent maxillary sinusitis may be a too narrow natural ostium, which becomes blocked easily. As the mucus transport inside the sinus is directed towards the ostium, i.e, towards the middle nasal meatus, the most suitable place for an artificial extra ostium is in the middle ...

The diagnosis of gout depends on showing urate crystals in synovial effusions or, with less certainty, recognizing a characteristic clinical presentation. The management of gout has four phases: control of inflammation, diagnostic evaluation, education of the patient, and treatment for the hyperuricemia. Sound logical principles guide each aspect. Careful attention ...

The protection of critical ecosystems appears to be a sounder management strategy than the protection of critical species. Environmental quality-control systems designed to protect ecosystems are described. These quality-control systems will make it possible to optimize the ability of ecosystems to assimilate and transform wastes and protect them from degradation.

The control of insect populations by restricting their birth rate offers several advantages over methods based on increasing the death rate. The sterile-male technique scored practical success in the control of the screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel), but more general applications of the sterility procedure may be expected in conjunction with ...

Correction of errors in localizing movements produced by laterally displacing vision by means of wedge prisms has been termed "prism adaptation." Intermanual transfer of prism adaptation from an exposed to an unexposed hand, with subject's head immobilized, has been reported not to occur. However, it was found that a standard ...

As a suitable emergency measure to arrest epidemics of Japanese encephalitis in Korea, the ultra-low-volume method of spraying insecticide to control the mosquito vector Culex tritaeniorhynchus has been tested in 2 successive years over a 16-km (2) area, utilizing a large fixed-wing aircraft. Malathion concentrate applied at 0.36 litres/ha gave ...

A controlled double-blind trial of amitriptyline at two dosage levels (75 and 150 mg/day), amylobarbitone (150 mg/day), and an inert substance for a period of four weeks was conducted on four matched groups of women attending their general practitioners and suffering from a depressive illness. Improvement at 7 and 28 ...

Atje and Roesad analyze Indonesian government's intervention to push for the expansion wood processing industries resulted in unsustainable resource use patterns.

Non-profit organisations like the NHS require mechanisms for evaluating their performance and judging how effectively or efficiently they are achieving their objectives. Management control systems (MCS) can provide a major input to this type of evaluation and, in addition, can assist in planning, motivating staff, and securing co-ordination at various ...

Staff who undertake effective decontamination in non-centralized settings such as general practices must be provided with training and easy-to-follow guidance. In this article we present a distillation of the current guidance in an industrial quality control format of fishbone charts. A fishbone chart (or cause-and-effect chart) depicts all the causes ...

A double-blind cross-over trial of a micronized preparation of flumedroxone, an oral progestogen derivative, and a placebo was undertaken to determine whether this drug had prophylactic value in migraine. No benefit was found in males, or in females with no history of menstrual exacerbation of migraine. In women whose migraine ...

The early diagnosis and treatment of precancerous lesions is an important means of control of intestinal cancer. The precancerous tendency is relatively slight with solitary colo-rectal polyps, ulcerative colitis and bilharzial infestation, but it is exceptionally severe in familial colonic polyposis.For more than 30 years, research into the inheritance and ...

The recent rapid growth of California's population, leading to competition for space between residential, industrial and agricultural interests, the development of its water resources and increasing water pollution provide the basic ingredients of its present vector problems. Within the past half-century, the original mosquito habitats provided by nature have gradually ...

In many instances the cheapest and quickest way of controlling trypanosomiasis is to reduce the number of vectors and the opportunities for contact between man and vector. For permanent results, moreover, eradication of the vectors is necessary, since eradication of trypanosomiasis by chemotherapeutic means has so far not proved feasible.For ...

A remarkable range of variation has been demonstrated in the biting habits of A. darlingi in South America. At the centre of its area of distribution, the species comprises both anthropo-endophilic and zoo-exophilic individuals, but the anthropophilic tendencies increase progressively towards the periphery of its distributional area. Conditions of travel ...

This paper deals with some aspects of the control of louse-borne typhus fever. The epidemic form is associated with famine and overcrowding. In producing an epidemic in a hitherto endemic area malnutrition is of greater importance than over-crowding; another factor which brings this about is widespread movement of civil or ...
