[Dislocations hip arthroplasty].

The authors present analysis of dislocation following hip arthroplasty based on their own clinical material of 1985-2005 year. It contain 2712 cases of total hip arthroplasty, 2171 (80.1%) cases were cemented including 64 (2.4%) cases of revised arthroplasty, 541 (19.9%) cases were cement-free stabilized including 7 (0.2%) cases of revised arthroplasty. Obtained outcomes of analysis permit to make assertion that dislocation following hip arthroplasty occurred during first three month after surgery, more frequently in case of revised arthroplasty and following fractures of femoral neck. Requirement of success is appropriate steady of implant and right done supervision of rehabilitation with learned necessary motoric behaviors.

[Proximal humerus fractures analysis of treatment and rehabilitation outcomes].

The authors make evaluation of functional outcomes proximal humerus fractures depending on applied method using Constant-Murley score in own modification. The clinical material of 1980-2004 years were 93 cases, 41 male (44.1%) and 52 female (55.9%) aged between 28-81 years. The operative treatment was employed in 52 cases (45.1%), nonoperativ in 18 cases (19.4%) and functional treatment using direct traction by olecranion in 33 cases (35.5%). Obtained outcomes based on Constant-Murley score in own modification notice limitation range of motion injured joint, reduction of muscle streught in shoulder rim and decrease of physical activity independently used method of treatment.

[Fertility and occupational exposure to pesticides].

The epidemiological studies discussed in this paper are concerned with the association between exposure to pesticides among workers employed in agriculture or greenhouses and pregnancy and semen quality. The results of the studies showed that employment in agriculture increases the risk of specific morphological abnormalities in sperm as well as decreases the sperm count and the percentage of viable sperm. The data on the effect of employment in agriculture on the time of pregnancy are not unequivocal, but most of them suggest the relationship between pesticide exposure and decreased fecundity rate. The studies of the gender ratio of the offspring do not yield explicit results showing that more girls than boys are born to workers exposed to pesticides. The results of the literature review also suggest the need to increase the awareness about potential adverse effects of pesticides on fertility among workers occupationally exposed to them. In the light of the available, alas still insufficient evidence that pesticides exert negative effect on fertility, it is essential to reduce pesticide exposure both among men and women before the planned pregnancy.
