[Reevaluation of work disability in chronic bronchitis and functional criteria at rest].

As part of an investigation to reassess disability which was performed in 579 subjects with an internist's diagnosis, disability was reassessed in 68 males with chronic bronchitis as the main diagnosis. Disability reassessment was carried out by an informal team of physicians consisting of pulmologists and members of a second degree disability board. The aim of the study was to define the differences between disability reevaluation and residual working capacity.

[Longitudinal recording and follow-up of newborns in the prevention of disease in childhood].

For any society a timely follow-up of the child's psychosomatic development is of utmost importance. Such a follow-up requires that at the very birth of the child there are adequate records on all phases of pregnancy, on risk factors potentially affecting the child's development, and data on labour and the newborn's functions. All this information should be provided by gynecologists in consultation units for women and in maternity wards, as well as by pediatricians in maternity wards and child dispensaries.
