Triggering Factor

A follow-up study of 47 individuals with paroxysmal tachycardia in infancy is reported. The incidence of recurrence decreases from 55% during infancy to 17% up to 10 years of age; a slight increase to 23% is then observed in adolescence. There is a higher incidence of paroxysm in cases with preexcitation in the ECG. Physical overexertion may be a triggering factor in recurrences, but exemption from school physical education and sports should only be granted exceptionally. No signs of reduced physical working capacity were found in this group. The results of maintenance therapy do not appear to have improved in the past decade.

SummaryThe results from a prospective follow-up study of a group of schizophrenic patients suggest that a significant proportion (41 per cent) are likely to relapse during a two-year period despite the prescription of long-acting injectable neuroleptic drugs. Some will relapse because of a failure of the regime, but others (32–37 per cent) because the pharmacological protection of these drugs would appear to be less effective in certain patients. Even with the major advantages of the long-acting injectable neuroleptics over oral medication, the schizophrenic patient population remains a group with a high incidence of psychiatric and social morbidity which continues to require the full resources of both the hospital and community services.

Abstract Twenty-five adults who harbored malignant gliomas received 72 courses of intraarterial 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU) (100 mg/m2) and 67 courses of systemic vincristine (1.0 mg/m2) and procarbazine (100 mg/m2) as induction therapy (BVP) followed by 106 courses of systemic 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(4-methylcyclohexyl)-1-nitrosourea (methyl-CCNU) (130 mg/m2), vincristine, and procarbazine as maintenance therapy (MVP). With a 6-week interval between each treatment, the median and range for the number of courses of BVP were 3 and 1 to 4 and those for MVP were 3 and 0 to 14, respectively. Fifteen patients (60%) responded to both BVP and MVP, and 10 (40%) did not. The overall median survival time was 12.7 months (range, 1.8 to 48.5+ months). Two of 3 patients who had recurrent gliomas responded and survived for 37+ to 45+ months. Seven of 10 who had nonirradiated glioblastomas responded and survived for 9 to 22 months. Four who had nonirradiated anaplastic astrocytomas all responded and survived for 38+ to 48.5+ months. Two who also received radiotherapy (1 glioblastoma and 1 primitive neuroectodermal tumor) benefited and survived for 16.9 and 28.5+ months. All who did not respond favorably died within 8 months. During the infusion of BCNU, complications included transient orbital and head pain, periorbital and scleral erythema in all patients, and a focal seizure in 1 (4%). During the 6-month induction periods, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia occurred in 1 (4%), deep vein thrombosis occurred in 9 (36%), pulmonary emboli occurred in 8 (32%), upper respiratory infections occurred in 6 (24%), pneumonia occurred in 9 (36%), and herpes zoster occurred in 1 (4%). During maintenance therapy, seizures occurred in 4 (16%) and leukopenia and/or thrombocytopenia occurred by the fifth course in 6 of 9 who received 5 to 14 treatments.

The Impact

Abstract: Oral health is an integral part of an individual’s general health, interfering with all dimensions of life: functional, aesthetic, psychological, social, physical, nutritional, and even psychosocial. Hence oral health is directly related to quality of life. Periodontitis is one of the most prevalent oral diseases and one of the major causes of tooth loss, impacting negatively on self-reported individuals’ quality of life. Periodontal maintenance therapy aims to effectively minimize the recurrence of periodontal disease, as well as the incidence of tooth loss. In periodontal literature, studies associated with quality of life indicators, presented in the form of questionnaires aimed at measuring the impact of periodontitis and tooth loss on self-reported individual’s quality of life, highlight the "Oral Impacts on Daily Performance" (OIDP) and "Oral Health Impact Profile" (OHIP). As such, this study presents a critical review of the literature and describes the impact of periodontal disease and tooth loss on the quality of life of patients undergoing periodontal maintenance therapy.
