Illustrated Book

In this short, well written and illustrated book the author gives an excellent review of the literature related to the etiology and pathology of the congenital form of clubfoot. In the first part of the book he clearly describes the physical findings one would see in clubfeet of varying degrees of severity. The remainder of the book is devoted to techniques and principles of treatment, several of which are only of historical interest. Doctor Hauser describes a method for the treatment of congenital club-foot which in his hands has given uniformly excellent results over a period of 23 years

Bone Deformities

Congenital club foot is the most frequent foot deformity. It occurs in 1% of newborns, two times more frequently in boys, with family inheritance. Patoanatomicaly, entity consists of bone deformities, articular malpositions and soft tissues retraction. All these produce adduction of the forefoot and varus and equinovarus of the hindfoot. Lateral side of the foot is convex and medial side is concave. Forefoot is in adduction and plantar flexion in relation to the hindfoot. The heel is rotated medially which induces varus and eqinus of the foot. The aim of the treatment is to establish anatomically normal foot, painless, with moderate movements, which is suitable for normal shoes. At the beginning treatment is nonsurgical. If nonsurgical treatment fails further step should be surgical treatment. The success of treatment of congenital clubfoot depends on the time of diagnosis and treatment beginning.

Degrees Of Severity

The article is devoted to the problem of chronic tonsillitis. The widespread prevalence of the disease, as well as the high risk of complications from vital organs, make this problem especially urgent. The article describes in detail the factors contributing to the formation of a focus of chronic inflammation in the amygdala. Special attention is paid to the microbiological aspects of the inflammatory process, anatomical, topographic and physiological features of the tonsils, as well as their immune function. The histological changes that form against the background of a long-term chronic inflammatory process in the tonsils are described. Changes in the parenchyma of the amygdala during inflammation can be expressed both by hyperplasia and by involution of follicles with the formation of infiltrates and the subsequent development of abscesses. In the final stages of an active inflammatory process, connective tissue grows, replacing lymphoid tissue. In the paratonsillar tissue and the capsule of the amygdala, an overgrowth of connective tissue is also observed, which is accompanied by the formation of nested infiltrates around small vessels, most pronounced at the upper pole of the amygdala. According to this classification, two clinical forms of chemotherapy are distinguished: simple and toxic-allergic of two degrees of severity. Further, in accordance with this classification, the basic principles of treatment are presented. Then the features of conservative therapy and the benefits of the herbal preparation are described. The composition of this drug includes marshmallow root, chamomile flowers, horsetail herb, walnut leaves, yarrow herb, oak bark and dandelion herb. The results of several clinical trials of the drug indicate its positive effect on the dynamics of both clinical and microbiological, immunological parameters in patients with chronic tonsillitis. All this allows us to recommend wider inclusion of this combined herbal medicinal product in the complex of treatment of chronic tonsillitis.

Physical Findings

The purpose of this study was to establish medicolegal guidelines based upon medical findings which support or refute allegations of sexual penetration, taking into account non-sexual explanations for positive physical findings. A review of the literature was undertaken to examine what has been determined about the range of usual findings which can be expected if the hymen has been penetrated. While a large body of literature is available on the topic, some findings are ambiguous, and further research is required to advance and clarify our knowledge base in these areas. In only a minority of non-acute cases can definitive statements be made as to whether an alleged molestation has occurred. A non-scarred hymen that will not admit a finger is ‘intact’; a hymenal opening accommodating two fingers or a vaginal speculum, with evidence of a deficit or scarring at the lower pole, indicates past sexual or, possibly, non-sexual penetration. Other findings are not definitive and, at best, can estimate only relative probability of occurrence of penetration. Findings within the normal range should be presented as ‘neither confirm nor deny abuse’, not ‘consistent with abuse’. Often, it is impossible to establish whether a hymen is ‘intact’ in regard to past sexual intercourse.

Examination of the anatomical and functional states of feet in children with congenital clubfoot is an urgent priority that has significant theoretical and practical value. The purpose of the study was to investigate the morphological and functional parameters of the foot to evaluate the degree of affection of its support function in congenital clubfoot using the technique of computer plantography. Plantographic characteristics of the feet were determined in 65 children with this disorder, aged from 4 to 16 years. The mathematical processing of plantographic characteristics of the feet was performed using the following; the calcaneo-axial and the calcaneo-metatarsal angles and the angle between the outer tangents on the basis of what were defined border values of angles, depending on the severity of foot deformities. The proposed method of analysis of the foot plantogram is statistically significant for the classification of congenital clubfoot with different degrees of severity: mild, moderate, and severe. This technique is an addition to the clinical and X-ray methods and allows the evaluation of functional support for the feet.
