[Passivity of certain disinfectant substances in the presence of acrylic resins].

On the basis of data published in the specialized literature the authors have experimented the effects of five substances currently used for the disinfection of prostheses. These included: Denclen (a British product), Super Quick's (made in the FRG), and Leodent also a West German product), as well as two general disinfectants of the buccal cavity: perogen and bromocet, on the acrylic resins used for the dental prostheses: Superpont (made in Czechoslovakia) and Romacryl (a Romanian product). The study showed that these substances, both the special ones and the general disinfectants are not completely passive when in contact with the acrylic prostheses. They should be used with care, and in accordance with the indications concerning concentration and duration of application.

Aspects of hydatidosis in the adult population in Banat.

An epidemiological study was performed on a lot of 505 adult subjects (over 20 years old) diagnosed with E.granulosus hydatidosis and operated in surgery units in hospitals from such towns as Timişoara, Arad and Reşita (1985-1992). The incidence of hydatid infection was almost uniformly distributed by sexes, being a little higher in rural areas (52.0%); the highest number of cases was reported in Timiş County (63.6%), followed by Caraş-Severin County (21.2%). Hydatidosis was most frequently found in liver (67.5%) and lungs (23.7%) and more rarely in kidneys (0.4%), brain (0.2%), pancreas (0.2%), ovary (0.2%). Secondary hydatidosis was reported on 12.7% of cases and multiple cyst forms in 12.7% of cases. The distribution of cases by age group was relatively balanced, a slightly increased incidence being found in the 20-29 years age group (23.2%), about 1/3 of pulmonary localizations being reported in the age group. Post-surgery complications were reported in 13.5% of the total hepatic localizations and in 30% of the pulmonary localizations. The average number of days in hospital was 29.5 days/case. The average morbidity in the adult population in Banat over an eight years time interval was 5.36%ooo, being higher in Timiş county-7.8%ooo where a peak (11%ooo) was reported in 1987.
