Information source preferences for selecting dental services among elderly consumers.

This manuscript presents the results of a primary research study conducted among the elderly to determine the sources of information they prefer for the selection of dental services. The results of the study are presented in terms of source preferences by dental need (generalist or specialist), source preferences by gender (male or female), source preferences by level of education (low or high), and source preferences by income level (low or high). Conclusions are drawn from the results of the research, and suggestions are made regarding the use of information source preferences for the marketing of dental services to the elderly.

The findings suggest that physical plot, previous experience with the hospital, location of hospital, overall cost, and reputation of the hospital were important factors in selecting a hospital.

Synovial hemangioma of the knee.

Synovial hemangioma is a rare, benign lesion affecting children and young adults. The lesion most commonly affects the knee joint. A recurrent history of pain and swelling is a characteristic feature. The degree of pain and tenderness can vary from mild to excruciating. Doughy consistency of the mass and quadriceps atrophy are other features. Total excision should be the object of treatment. A clinical diagnosis will be made only if the clinician is aware of the condition.

A comparative study of the frequency of anterior impingement exostoses of the ankle in dancers and nondancers.

True lateral roentgenograms were obtained in 100 nondancers and 32 professional dancers to determine the incidence of anterior talar exostoses. The average age of the nondancers was 45.8 years as compared to 23.0 years in the dancer population. Both groups were asymptomatic in the region of the foot and ankle. All exostoses on the dorsum of the talar neck measuring greater than 1 mm were recorded.
