Objective and subjective attractiveness and early adolescent adjustment.
Using data from the Pennsylvania Early Adolescent Transitions Study (PEATS), this study assessed how objective physical attractiveness (PA), indexed by appraisals from others, and subjective PA, indexed by self-appraisals, relate to each other and, in turn, to early adolescent adjustment (indexed by self-esteem and anxiety). Findings indicated a low relationship between objective and subjective PA. Only subjective PA was associated with adjustment.

[Results of medical selection of drivers and candidates for drivers of motor vehicles].
The aim of this study is the analysis of medical selection of drivers and candidates for car drivers. The examination included 41,561 drivers (36,008 candidates for car drivers sent to preliminary medical examination, 5,175 professional drivers sent to periodic medical examination and 378 drivers sent to special medical examination). At the preliminary medical examination, 1.5% of candidates for car drivers were declared to be incapable of driving and 8.4% of candidates had a limited driving ability. At the periodic medical examination, 8.2% of drivers were declared to be incapable to driving and 26% of drivers had a limited driving ability. At the special medical examination, 34.9% of drivers were declared to be incapable for driving and 54.3% of drivers had a limited driving ability. The reasons for driving incapability and for limited driving ability were the disturbances of psychologic-psychiatric and neurologic state, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine diseases and sight disturbances. In our opinion, medical selection of drivers and candidates for car drivers is a significant preventive measure of traffic trauma. New, more subtle methods for determination of the latent disturbances must be developed. Periodic medical examination for amateurs in the period between the preliminary medical examination and 65 years of age must biobligatory.

[Work capacity evaluation in workers with arterial hypertension].
The aim of this study was to show the results of working ability estimation of the workers with arterial hypertension. The estimation included 313 workers with arterial hypertension estimated by Disability Commission during 1999. Arterial hypertension was a leading diagnosis in 30.9% cause of working ability estimation. The majority of workers belonged to the 41-60 years age group and were with arterial hypertension with complications on the fundus and on the heart. In the examined group the majority of workers was declared as first category invalid (35.8%), while 32.3% of hypertensive workers had to change the working place. The majority of the first category invalids were among the hypertensive workers from textile and chemical industry, as well as among the professional drivers. The changing of the working place was more frequently suggested to the workers in textile and metal industry and in printing firms. These results could be explained by the influence of professional noxious agents on the onset and development of arterial hypertension.
