SummaryAn epidemiological study of the first admission rate for mania was carried out in London and Aarhus. The case registers in these two centres were used to conduct a retrospective study of case notes covering several years, and a screening procedure was used for the prospective collection of new cases over the course of one year. The annual incidence of mania was found to be virtually identical in both centres. The retrospective study gave a figure of 2.6 per 100,000 population in both Aarhus and London. But the London sample was found to contain 45 per cent of immigrants in contrast to the Aarhus sample in which only a negligible proportion were born outside Denmark. Male West Indians, in particular, were over-represented in the London sample.

BackgroundA previous cross-national epidemiological study of first admission rates in London and in Aarhus, Denmark, found that the incidence of mania was virtually identical for both centres. This study sought to examine the corresponding rate for a defined catchment area in Dublin, Ireland, and to establish whether the impression of a higher rate could be validated.MethodThe study combined a six-year retrospective review and one-year prospective collection of first-admission cases of mania from a defined catchment area. Diagnosis was according to ICD criteria and the Syndrome Check List of the Present State Examination (PSE). Cross-national comparisons were made using standardised incidence rate ratios (SIRs).ResultsThe crude incidence rate for Dublin in the age range 18–60 years was established at 4.5 per 100 000 per year. A comparison of SIRs for the three centres showed the Dublin rate to be higher than expected (P < 0.02). Age-specific analysis indicated that this increase came mainly from the age range 18–29 (χ2 = 9.08, P = 0.01).ConclusionsThe study confirmed the impression that the local incidence of mania in Dublin is higher than that reported from two other North European centres. A variation in rates from contrasting socioeconomic districts within the catchment area points to some caution in the interpretation of the results and suggests further study from wider catchment areas.

Oral cancer is one of a major health problem in some parts of the world especially in the developing countries. Oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the world whereas in India it is one of the most prevalent cancer. Oral cavity lesions are usually asymptomatic. Accurate diagnosis of the lesion is the first step for the proper management of patients and histopathology is considered as the gold standard. The objective is to study the different patterns of oral cavity lesions seen in a tertiary care hospital of Jammu: One year retrospective study. Post graduate department of pathology.: It was a retrospective study carried out in a tertiary care centre for a period of one year from March 2020 to Feb 2021. 148 cases of oral cavity lesions were included in this study. The parameters that were included in the study were sociodemographic data, site of the lesion, clinical features and histological diagnosis. Data collected was analysed.148 cases of oral lesions were identified during the period of study. The age of patients varied from 5 to 78years and Male to Female ratio was 2.2:1. Buccal mucosa (30%) was the most common site involved which was followed by tonsil (19%). Out of 148 cases 70 cases were malignant, 10 cases pre malignant and 21 cases were benign. Squamous cell carcinoma (33.7%) was the most common lesion present in our study. Oral cavity lesions have a vast spectrum of diseases which range from tumour like lesions to benign and malignant tumours. Our study concluded that squamous cell carcinoma was the most common malignant lesion of oral cavity. Histological typing of the lesion is important for confirmation of malignancy and it is essential for the proper management of the patient.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Hemangiomas are the commonest vascular tumors during childhood. In 2008, the effect of propranolol for treating capillary hemangiomas was demonstrated. Other similar results followed, showing that it rapidly reduces lesion volume. The objective here was to evaluate children and adolescents with hemangiomas that were treated with propranolol. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective study, conducted in a children's hospital. METHODS : Patients aged 0-19 years with or without previous treatment, who were treated between January 2009 and December 2010, were included. The response was assessed by comparing the lesion appearance between the start of treatment and the last consultation. We considered partial or complete responses as the response to treatment. RESULTS : Sixty-nine patients with a median follow-up of 11 months (mean age: 31 months) were included. Of these, 58 patients were recently diagnosed and 11 had had previous treatment. A response (partial or complete) was seen in 60 patients (87%). Among the capillary hemangioma cases, responses were seen in 50 out of 53 (94%), while in other lesion types, it was 10 out of 16 (63%) (P = 0.3; chi-square). Responses in patients less than one year of age were seen in 37 out of 38 (97%), whereas in those over one year of age, in 23 out of 31 (74%) (P = 0.4; chi-square). Side effects were uncommon and mild. CONCLUSIONS: Propranolol seemed to be effective for treatment of hemangiomas in children and adolescents, and not just in the proliferative stage, with responses in almost all the patients.

A retrospective study of patients of the Urogynaecological Unit in Siena is reported. Out of 228 women examined, 141 had urinary incontinence (stress incontinence 110, urge incontinence 18, mixed 13). Predisposing factors and risk factors were investigated. A parallel study in a non-selected population of women was performed by means of a questionnaire of self-evaluation for urinary incontinence. About 20% of this population had urinary incontinence to some degree, but only a small percentage of these women had already sought medical advice.
