Retrospective assessment of osteomyelitis. Etiology, demographics, risk factors, and management in 35 cases.

A retrospective review and analysis of the management of osteomyelitis in 35 patients at a major hospital complex has been made. In this patient population sample, trauma and odontogenic sources were determined to be the most prevalent causes of osteomyelitis of the jaws, which in the vast majority of cases affected the mandible. Alcohol and/or tobacco use was reported in at least one half of the cases surveyed.

Role structure and subculture in families of elective mutists.

This study of ten case records points to a common role structure and subculture in families of elective mutists. The paper describes a theory of treatment based on breaking down the family's distrust of the outer world before social training of the identified patient is started.

[Improvement of the endogenous creatinine clearance by blocking the tubules].

In the endogenic creatinine clearance at present a blocking of the tubuli with phenol red cannot be achieved. The elimination follows in the 20th and 40th minute after the injection of a simple exponential function and thus allows the determination of the half-life period. The phenol red 60/60 value lies in the phase of the backflow of phenol red from the space of distribution.
