Self-image is a representation that each person has on its own body. The personality of an individual develops through progressive knowledge of its own body. Children with motor deficiencies have a modified self-image. For the evaluation of self-image a 1 to 10 self-assessment scale for three items (smart, resourceful, beautiful), and two time periods (now and in the future) was used. As to the dynamic components, the area "locus of control" showed significant positive differences between present and future situations (an increase from 22.1% to 56.5% for smart item, from 35.9% to 65.5% for resourceful item and only a small variation from 30.5% to 37.4% for handsome item, regarding the high marks self-assentiment).

[Oxidative stress and antioxidants in the diet in pathological processes at the level of the cardiovascular system].

After a short review of the data on the free radicals occurring in the human body (hydroxyl radical, superoxide, nitric acid, peroxynitrite), the possible effects of these radical upon the cardiovascular system are presented. The preservation of the oxidants-antioxidants balance is highly important for preventing the cardiovascular diseases. Endogenous antioxidants are not 100 per cent effective, reason why for the individuals with atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease antioxidant supplements (tocopherols, carotenes, vitamin C, selenium) are essential especially during the seasons when diets are deficient in fruits and vegetables.

[The confirmation of a correlation between atmospheric air pollution with sedimentation dusts and pediatric morbidity].

The obtained results support the data in the literature on the correlation of air pollution with morbidity in general and with the infantile one, particularly by respiratory diseases in urban areas of Iaşi district. The maintenance of the pollutants under the minimum admitted concentration by corresponding measures at the level of pollution source together with increasing the general resistance of the population are necessary.
