[Epidemiologic and microbiological aspects of mycobacteriosis in Slovakia--Mycobacterium szulgai].

The first case of mycobacteriosis caused by M. szulgai in the territory of Czechoslovakia was discovered in the year 1979 in southern Slovakia and was published in our and foreign literature in the year 1981. The purpose of this investigation is to describe the epidemiological situation of the diseases caused by M. szulgai in Slovakia and to compared it with the experiences in chosen developed countries, especially focused on the localization of the disease, factors of transmission, mechanism of transmission and other epidemiological characteristics. The methodology of this paper is based upon surveillance of tuberculosis applied on mycobacterioses. During the period of last 20 years two cases of the disease without mutual epidemiological connection were discovered. In contradiction to other mycobacterioses, diseases caused by M. szulgai, have not the tendency to endemic occurrence. The most often transmission factors are contaminated water and soil. Both cases of M. szulgai in Slovakia suffered from pulmonary diseases. Other localization reported in other countries, for example: olecranon bursitis, skin infections, cervical adenitis, osteomyelitis and renal disease were not reported in our country up to now.

New trends of postgraduate education in public health in Slovakia (the first experiences of the school of public health in Bratislava).

The School of Public Health (SPH) in Bratislava was established on 1 July 1991, as an organisational unit of the Post-graduate Medical School, directly subordinated to the Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic. The SPH performs both postgraduate and continuing education of specialists in individual public health branches. It participates in the research activities within the field of public health. Our SPH is engaged in the network of European schools of public health, in association with the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER). In coordination with these schools, the SPH elaborates on a system of training Europe-wide a comparable qualification degree in Master of Public Health (MPH). In collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), the SPH also organizes training courses and seminars with international participation. The SPH entered into the school year 1992/93 with its 5 departments and sub-departments in the following organisational structure: 1. Department of Health Strategy with sub-departments: Health Legislation Health Education Health Sociology 2. Department of Medical Informatics 3. Department of Health Management 4. Department of Medical Education 5. Department of Preventive Medicine with sub-departments: Epidemiology Hygiene of Children and Adolescents Environmental Hygiene Nutrition Preventive Occupational Health Health Protection against Ionization

Early detection of airway abnormalities in a selected group of population.

Functional data were collected from 5,746 males from a country region, whose ages ranged from 14 to 65 years. Out of this population we excluded a group of 466 males (9%) who had abnormal results of traditional pulmonary function screening tests (FVC less than 80% reference values or FEV1% FVC less than 70%) and chose a group of 1,092 males (19%) with normal values for the above two parameters but with abnormal forced mid-expiratory flow. In randomly selected persons of the second group we found frequency dependent dynamic compliance (100%), abnormal maximum expiratory flow at 25% of vital capacity (98%), increased residual volume (76%), decreased maximum expiratory flow at 50% of vital capacity (67%), and increased closing capacity (57%); on the contrary static complicane and airway resistance were normal. To account for these results we suppose that measurement of forced mid-expiratory flow, abnormal values of which we obtained in practically one fifth of the experimental population, could represent, in agreement with other reports, a suitable screening test for first or early detection of airway abnormalities.
