Poliomyelitis eradication programme: acute flaccid paralysis surveillance in mardin and five other provinces around Mardin, Turkey 1998.
After the successful eradication of small pox, the eradication of poliomyelitis was planned. In the poliomyelitis eradication programme, conducted since 1989, routine vaccination, supplemental immunisation activities and acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance were the main strategies. In 1997, in Mardin provinces six poliomyelitis cases were reported. Therefore it was planned to strengthen the eradication programme in this province and those around it. In 1998 in Mardin and five neighboring provinces, a study was conducted that included monthly visits, educational activities, etc. At the result of this study, 64 AFP cases (22 of them poliomyelitis) were reported. Non-poliomyelitis AFP rate had increased from 0.9 in 1997 to 2.8 in 1998. An adequate two specimen ratio was 72%. We recognised that more poliomyelitis cases were reported in hot seasons when compared with non-poliomyelitis cases reported throughout the year. This difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). Most AFP cases were aged under 35 months. At the 60th day follow-up visits of the patients, we found 90.9% of the poliomyelitis cases but only 19.0% of the non-poliomyelitis case had residual paralysis. Presence of prodromal fever was another finding that distinguished poliomyelitis cases from non-poliomyelitis AFP cases. 90.9% of the poliomyelitis cases but only 64.3% of the non-poliomyelitis cases had fever at onset. This finding was also statistically significant (P<0.05).

Intrathoracic aneurysm of the right subclavian artery.
Arterial aneurysms may occur in all arteries of the human body. Arteriosclerosis takes the first place in the aetiology of the aneurysms of the great arteries and lower extremities. We would like to present a rare atherosclerotic aneurysm in the intrathoracic region of the right subclavian artery, in which vascular continuity was re-established by resection and direct end-to-end anastomosis instead of the generally used resection + revascularization technique with vascular grafts.
