First Contact

Int roduc t ion: General practitioners (GPs), are the foreground of all medicine. When a disease starts, most patients have their first contact with medicine in the GP’s offices. For this reason, it is likely that the illnesses diagnosed by GPs are consistent with the real number of illnesses occurring in the area of their region. Aim: To preset in this research we focused on the frequency of cases of disease where there was a problem with receiving prompt medical advice. Ma t e r i a l and me thods : We obtained data of 14 279 visits of 2774 patients from January 1 to December 31, 2017, containing an ICD-10 diagnosis, the statistical number of the patient and the patient’s age at the time of visit from the 3 GPs facilities belonging to one practice in a rural area near to Olsztyn. Re sul t s and di s cus s ion: Analysis has shown that the most popular cardiovascular system disease is essentially hypertension. We found out that hypertension was affecting even the youngest people – males from 20 to 30 years old. Under the age group of 40–50 years old, mainly men suffered from hypertension. The family doctor institution should be the basis of the Polish Health System. It is the place where all the patients’ basic needs should be met. This institution should be the first filter of patients, which refers patients to more highly-specialistic medical providers. Conc lus ions : The top 15 diagnoses in our study contains prescribing medication, which is the same in Australia.The difference between the two countries is the percentage of this problem – 24.1% in Polish GPs vs. 1.6% in Australian GPs.

Economic Profile

The present paper is an attempt to analyze the socio-economic profile of the labour households in rural Punjab. The study revealed that majority of rural labour households belonged to the scheduled caste category. As far as the distribution of sampled rural labour households according to the family type was concerned, it was found that 46.42 percent of the total rural labour households had nuclear families, while the remaining 53.58 percent have joint families. Majority of the rural labourers were living in semi-pucca houses. Further, if we look at the housing condition, 54.72 percent of rural labourers owned the houses of average condition, 40.19 percent owned good condition households and 5.09percent owned dilapidated houses. The analysis further showed that as many as 20.35percentof the sampled labour population was illiterate. A few persons from sampled labour households educated above matric. Although large majority of the sampled labour population were from the working-age group yet the ratio of dependents was high among rural labour households. This was due to lower employment opportunities in rural areas.

Delayed Referral

SummaryThis paper reports a pilot study of thirteen children with epilepsy and their families; the parents' efforts to obtain help for the child and the effect of the child's disability on the family relationships are described. About half of the parents did not consult the family doctor immediately after the first appearance of signs of epilepsy (patient delay). About a quarter of the family doctors delayed referral of the patient with epilepsy to the specialist (doctor's delay). Another 3 years passed, on average, before the patient reached a special centre or clinic for epilepsy (specialist delay); in three-quarters of all cases the first step to get there was taken by the parents and not by the specialist and chance plays an important role in determining how the entry into this third echelon is achieved. Reasons for the search for more specialized help were: dissatisfaction with the results of the treatment and the kind of rapport with the second echelon specialist. The out-patient clinic for epilepsy is generally favourably commented on because the expert medical advice is combined with the availability of a social worker, thus offering support with social problems also. As regards the influence of the illness on the family, there is evidence that family life is disrupted to a greater or less extent. The parents experience psychological stress and are generally apprehensive lest something will happen to their child. In a number of cases the relationships between siblings are rather disturbed. The parents, especially mothers, tend to (over-)protect the child with epilepsy. The child with epilepsy has a relatively isolated position in his social environment; he has few informal or formal social contacts with his peer group. The condition epilepsy contributes to a diminution of expectations for the future and curtailment of scholastic behaviour.

Introduction. In the last 30 years, the incidence of non-melanocytic skin tumors (NMRTs) has increased alarmingly. The most common subtype of TCNM is basal cell carcinoma followed by squamous cell carcinoma. Material and method. This retrospective study was performed on a group of 140 patients. Patients diagnosed with C44 nonmelanocytic malignancy according to ICD-10 were included in the study. Results. Of the 140 patients, 118 (84%) received the presumptive diagnosis of CBC and 17 (12%) the diagnosis of CSC. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of CBC in 76% of cases and that of CSC in 58% of cases. Regarding the number of lesions, cases with a single lesion predominate (94%). In terms of clinical form, the most common type of basal cell carcinoma in the study group was 75% nodular carcinoma. Conclusions. There is a need for more studies for the application of prevention and proper management from the family doctor to the specialist.

This work is the result of the doctoral thesis entitled Pilgrimage of Bom Jesus da Lapa: Social Reproduction of the Family and Female Gender Identity, specifically the second chapter that talks about women in the Pilgrimage of Bom Jesus da Lapa, emphasizing gender relations, analyzing the location of the pilgrimage as a social reproduction of the patriarchal family and female gender identity. The research scenario is the Bom Jesus da Lapa Pilgrimage, which has been held for 329 years, in that city, located in the West part of Bahia. The research participants are pilgrim women who are in the age group between 50 and 70 years old and have participated, for more than five consecutive years in the Bom Jesus da Lapa Pilgrimage, belonging to five Brazilian states (Bahia, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Espírito Santo and Goiás) that register a higher frequency of attendance at this religious event. We used bibliographic, qualitative, field and documentary research and data collection as our methodology; we applied participant observation and semi-structured interviews as a technique. We concluded that the Bom Jesus da Lapa Pilgrimage is a location for family social reproduction and the female gender identity, observing a contrast in the resignification of the role and in the profile of the pilgrim women from Bom Jesus da Lapa, alternating between permanence and the transformation of gender identity coming from patriarchy.

The average size of the family worked out to be 5.74 and the average size of owned land holdings was 11.50 acres. The data highlights that 34.96 percent were earners, 31.39 percent were earning dependents and 33.65 percent of the persons were dependents. The major proportion (88.46 percent) of total sampled households followed Sikhism and as many as 87.50 percent were from the general category. About 23 percent of the sampled persons were illiterate and literacy levels were found to be positively linked with the size of landholdings. About 34 percent of the heads of sampled farmer households were illiterate and the majority of the heads of sampled farmer households had education below secondary level. None of the heads among marginal farmers had obtained education up to graduation level, whereas, this proportion was 7.41 for the large farmers. The study points out that overall only 11.54 percent of the sampled farm households read the newspaper. There is a need for effective measures which could enhance the educational and awareness levels of farmers and their family members for raising their levels of living.
