[Epidemiological investigation of oral health in a group of Prague University students].

In the submitted paper the authors investigated the state of teeth, periodontium and the need of treatment in a group of Prague university students. In the investigated group they recorder a lower cariosity than in the same age group 30 years ago. The percentage of subjects without dental extraction on account of caries is smaller than foreseen by WHO in the year 2000. Both is evidence of early therapeutic and preventive care in previous years. To maintain therapeutic and preventive care in previous years. To maintain the positive results of systematic dental care, regular dental treatment also in adult age is essential.

[Oral health in cariology and endodontics to the year 2000].

In 1978 the World Health Organization proclaimed the programme "Health for All by the Year 2000". In 1982 the International Stomatological Federation joined this programme with "Oral Health by the Year 2000". It comprises actual anti-caries targets for various age groups, e.g. 50% of 65-year-old subjects should have 20 natural functional teeth. Comparative investigations indicate that the above programme is successfully implemented in those developed industrial countries where it has become a matter of course for the wide public and where in its implementation also non-stomatological medical disciplines participate. The purpose of the present paper is to remind of some comprehensive coordinated aspects of caries prevention and some most frequent complications of caries, i.e. pathological conditions of the dental pulp and apical periodontium.

Prognostic factors in Hodgkin's disease.

Between 1978-84 371 patients with HD were treated according to Protocol of LCG. 72.5% achieved complete, 10.8% partial remission and 16.7% were nonresponders. The evaluation of results was performed by PIL program from BMDP 81. The mean survival was 61 and disease-free survival (DFS) 60 months. The cumulative survival and DFS at 5 years were 65% and 68%, resp. Advanced HD, B symptoms, histopathology LD, male sex and age above 40 years influenced survival adversely. DFS decreased with CS III B, in males and age above 60 years significantly and in histopathology MC and LD with lack of significance. However, the size of mediastinal involvement was not a poor prognostic factor for survival, but influenced DFS. The prognostic value of major risk factors in HD was estimated by means of frequencies of their associations.

[Familial malignant melanoma].

Two families with a familiar occurrence of malignant melanoma have been described. In the first family malignant melanoma has been histologically verified in two generations. In the other family, malignant melanoma occurred in four generations, but it has been verified histologically in two of them only. In the remaining two generations there were positive anamnestic data.
