Distribution of anti HBs in Christchurch hospital staff.

Three hundred and thirty-eight North Canterbury Hospital Board staff in 11 different job categories have been tested for anti HBs during a two-year period, June 1975 to June 1977. Forty-three sera were positive for anti HBs, 10 following documented hepatitis B, nine following prophylactic anti HBs and 23 without any previous history of hepatitis. 22.4 percent of the medical staff, 10 percent of the nurses, 11.4 percent of the laboratory staff, 36.4 percent of the dental staff tested were positive for anti HBs.

Oral surgeons in geographic regions and selected metropolitan areas.

Region of practice location and size of the metropolitan area where a practice is located have been considered important manpower variables. This report of The Manpower Survey of Oral Surgery in 1974 described the relationship of these two variables to various other characteristics of the practice of oral surgery. Geographic region of the respondents and population of the practice location appeared to influence each other to some extent. There was a small but significant relationship between geographic region and age for 2,251 oral surgeons as well as for the 1,584 in full-time private practice. A similar relationship was observed between population of trade area and age. In each situation, the relationship was not consistent enough to describe a definite trend in the relationship. Both geographic region and population of trade area were associated to a small extent with variations in the professional income of oral surgeons. In New England oral surgeons seemed to earn less than expected whereas in the East North Central states they earned more than expected. There was a significant relationship between geographic region, population of trade area, and type of practice. In the eastern part of the United States, there was a tendency for fewer oral surgeons than statistically expected to establish a solo practice. There was some relationship between geographic region and hours devoted to practice for all oral surgeons as well as for those in full-time private practice. Three regions, West North Central, West South Central, and South Atlantic, had significantly more oral surgeons than statistically expected working more than 50 hours/week, whereas three other regions, East North Central, Mountain, and Pacific, had significantly fewer than statistically expected working more than 50 hours/week. In most areas except New England and the West North Central states, geographic region had no association with the average amount of inpatient or outpatient services the respondents provided. Geographic region appeared to influence the average number of surgical procedures performed. It also had some relationship to the incorporation of dental practice and the distribution of dental staff at the principle hospital used by the respondents. According to the 1974 estimated population for calculating the expected frequencies, there were more active members than expected in the American Society of Oral Surgeons in the New England, Middle Atlantic, and Pacific states and fewer than expected in the West North Central, East South Central, and Mountain states. More respondents than expected on the west coast took two weeks or less of vacation whereas more respondents than statistically expected on the east coast took more than three weeks of vacation.

Situational factors contributing to the placebos effect.

The influence of four variables (status of communicator of drug effects, attitude of dentist, attitude of dental technician, and message of drug effects) on the obtainment of placebo effects in an oral surgery clinic was investigated. Dependent variables were (1) rating of pain experienced from mandibular-block injection, (2) pre-post placebo state anxiety, and (3) pre-postplacebo fear of injection. Enthusiastic messages of drug effects produced statistically and clinically significant reductions in postplacebo fear of injection and state anxiety and markedly lower ratings of pain experienced during injection of local anesthetic. Although there was a strong tendency for positive placebo effects to occur when the dental staff was perceived as friendly and supportive, only the attitude factors obtained statistical significance. The status of the communicator accounted for very small portions of the variance.

The Princess Margaret Hospital Dental Unit.

This article describes the development of the Dental Department at Princess Margaret Hospital, Perth, Western Australia from its beginnings with the appointment of the first Honorary dentist in 1910. It details its state today as a comprehensive unit in which all dental specialities are represented and capable of handling any clinical or teaching duties which may present. Princess Margaret Hospital is a large general teaching children's hospital of three hundred beds which handles one third of child admissions in the State. In addition, virtually all congenital abnormalities and conditions requiring specialized unit treatment are admitted. Into this hospital the Dental Department has become fully integrated over the past thirteen years.
