Masking level differences in central nervous system diseases.

The relationship between the tonal masking level difference performance and the behavior of the "sensitized speech tests" according to Bocca and Calearo, were studied in subjects with normal hearing who were suffering from CNS diseases. The results have shown that pathological masking level difference values are present in all cases with pathological sensitized speech tests, and are related principally to the following two conditions: (1) the bulbo-pontine lesions and (2) the central hearing functional asymmetry. In subjects with normal hearing who have CNS diseases, pathological tonal masking level differences indicate the existence of central hearing pathways lesions.

[Facial nerve paralysis and mandibular fracture].

The authors describe three cases of peripheral facial nerve paralysis in patients with a mandibular fracture. In two cases, in which the onset of palsy was uncertain, the facial nerve injury was contralateral to the fractured side. Topodiagnostic tests showed neural damage at the third intrapetrosal portion and at the genicular ganglion. In one of the two patients tomography revealed a fracture line through the anterio-superior wall of the external auditory canal homolateral to the facial palsy. In the third subject palsy set in immediately after the trauma and was ipsilateral to the mandibular fracture; the facial lesion was localized at the genicular ganglion. In the first two cases, functional recovery was spontaneous (40 and 0 days after the trauma respectively). In the third subject, the nerve was decompressed surgically with a complete functional recovery two months later. The functional and clinical findings of these three cases show that a contralateral facial palsy secondary to a mandibular fracture resolves spontaneously while the traumatic displacement of the mandibular condyle may determine a temporal bone fracture sometimes followed by a lesion in the intratemporal portion of the facial nerve. An event such as the latter may delay functional recovery and thus warrant surgery such as in cases of Bell's palsy.

[Epidemiological study of dental caries incidence in a group of 10-year old children in USSL 13, Veneto region].

The Authors, after a study in depth of the incidence of the caries in a ten years old population, following the advices of the HWO, describe on their territory an occurrence of the caries desease similar to the value referred on other works of research published in the same Region, in any case not so far from these pointed by the HWO for the year 2000. But there is still much to do in the prevention and therapy.

[Epidemiological study of gingivitis incidence in relation to hygiene habits in a group of 10-year old children in USSL 13, Veneto region].

The Authors, after an attentive study about a population of 799 ten years old scholarboys, have found out the hygiene of the mouth is a problem thoroughly felt, but the quality isn't the quantity. Therefore we need a wider prevention, using the informations and education in the scholar and familiar world, and not only in the specialistic environment.
