Treatment accessibility for physically and mentally handicapped people--a review of the literature.
This paper presents a review of the literature concerning the access of physically and mentally handicapped people to dental care, and the attitudes of dentists towards them. It is particularly concerned with access for those who are housebound, or restricted to wheelchairs. Accessible dental care facilities and information about them may have been difficult to locate in the United Kingdom. This situation may improve in the near future as family health services authorities have data obtained from dentists registering with them under the new National Health Service contract, and general dental practice leaflets are required to provide information on wheelchair access. Transport systems may severely limit the ability of some handicapped people to travel to otherwise accessible surgeries. Professional and societal attitudes towards handicapped people are ambivalent. It has been shown that professional attitudes towards handicapped people, and willingness to treat them, increases with training in this field. At present, this training has a low priority in many dental schools.

A survey into the prevalence of poultry helminths in northwest Arkansas commercial broiler chickens.
A 12-month survey was conducted to determine the prevalence of poultry helminths in Northwest Arkansas commercial broiler chickens. Intestinal tracts from market-ready broilers were collected weekly from two commercial broiler companies; a total of 3542 intestinal tracts were collected for parasite enumeration from 67 company A and 52 company B farms. Ascaridia galli was found on 37.3% of company A farms and 3.9% of company B farms, Raillietina cesticillus was found on 67.2% of company A farms and 69.2% of company B farms, and Heterakis gallinarum was found on 7.5% of company A farms and 1.9% of company B farms. No other parasitic helminths were found. No significant relationship was detected between grow-out feed efficiency and helminth infection rate or magnitude.
