The diabetic foot can be treated only if you know how to work as a team and the diabetologist, the natural referent of the clinical case, has to create a multiprofessional/multidisciplinary team that can manage the patient to prevent injuries and treat them if they show up. The creation of structured diagnostic-therapeutic paths guarantees a better coordination of the professional figures involved, optimizes the management of the direct and indirect resources required to manage such a clinically challenging complication. After many years of activity we have built a solid integration between diabetologist and orthopedic, between hospital and territory and we have simplified a complex path. The fulcrum of this activity is the joint orthopaedic clinic that guarantees the correct care of the patient and allows the professional growth of the whole team.

Last year, Eurosurveillance Weekly covered an outbreak of severe systemic sepsis in injecting drug users (IDUs) in Norway, Scotland, Ireland, and England (1-14). A report into the deaths of 23 drug users who died after injecting contaminated heroin has now been published by a multidisciplinary team in Glasgow (15,16) and is available at http://www.show.scot.nhs.uk/gghb/PubsReps/Reports/druginfect.pdf. Doctors investigating the outbreak, which also affected drug users in the north west of England and in the city of Dublin in Ireland, have drawn up 12 recommendations to prevent further deaths.

Apart from road, water and health difficulties, energy more especially fuel is amongst the issues rural dwellers have to grapple with in their quest for sustainable livelihood. Biogas energy was introduced in Cameroon in the 1970s. In this paper we intend to demonstrate how biogas energy is primordial in sustaining livelihoods in rural areas as a substitute to traditional fuel wood through its environmental, economic and social advantages.To carry out the study we conducted a sample of biogas users in the North West Region of Cameroon. Then we administered questionnaires to identified users followed by interviews and observation of the putting in place of these schemes.We therefore argue that biogas energy schemes can sustain livelihoods in rural areas as the slurry is used in farms for crop cultivation; its use reduces drudgery and improves the health of its users. Our findings equally reveal that the use of biogas energy mitigates the effects of deforestation as well as help in the fight for environmental protection.Further research is required to render such initiatives efficient by upgrading its performance with the required technological know-how as well as diversify its uses from not only a source of fuel but should equally be rendered more flexible.

The North West Thames Regional Health Authority rationalised its in-patient service in 1989 to fund an eight-bedded five day unit for children under 13 years of age at Collingham Gardens. Riverside Health Authority's District Child Psychiatric Day Unit was also relocated to provide ten places primarily for pre-adolescent children. The unit is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of child workers, nurses, occupational therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, teachers, and a psychotherapist, social worker and speech therapist.

The aim of this work is the analysis and interpretation of the results of morphotectonic analysis of the territory of the Kremenets Mountains in order to study its neotectonic history and to identify the regional morphotectonic differences. The methods of the reconstruction of the post-Sarmatic planation surface and lineament analysis were used for this analysis as well as the data received in the process of field studies on the territory where the exploration took place, in particular the study of rocks fracturing. A number of previous studies of the upland area was analysed, in particular, its tectonics and relief. It is discovered that the Kremenets Mountains are the mountains of the monolithic structure, which are under the influence of the differentiated neotectonic movements; a number of faults, that affect the relief situation in the natural area, is also discovered. The theory of the coincidence of the directions of drains valleys with the rocks fracturing is confirmed. The theories of the formation of the North-Podillia ledge, of its confirmation and denial are considered. The origin of the north-west ledge of the escarpment is tectonic and the origin of the south and east ledges is erosive. The relief-forming role of tectonic structure of the region and its expression in the modern morphodynamic processes is evaluated. Key words: the Kremenets Mountains, the Podillia Upland, morphotectonics, neotectonic movements, faults, North-Podillia ledge, planation surfaces, lineament analysis.

Aims and MethodThe aim of the study was to determine whether diagnostic case-mix influenced the distribution of clinical activity within the community mental health team (CMHT). Information concerning every patient involved with the CMHT and every episode of clinical activity was collected over a 2-week period.ResultsData were obtained concerning 417 patients and 1744 corresponding episodes of clinical activity. Diagnostic case-mix significantly differed between the professions. The duration of episodes of clinical activity varied significantly according to the type of patients involved and whether or not direct face to face contact occurred.Clinical ImplicationsDiagnostic case-mix, in addition to absolute numbers, should be considered when estimating the actual work generated by the different professions' case-loads. Patients with psychosis may place an increased time burden upon CMHT members.

Oreochromis mossambicus is currently receiving much attention as a candidater species for aquaculture programs within Southern Africa. This has stimulated interest in its breeding cycle as well as the morphological characteristics of the gonads. Limited information is available on SEM and TEM observations of the male gonads. It is known that the testis of O. mossambicus is a paired, intra-abdominal structure of the lobular type, although further details of its characteristics are not known. Current investigations have shown that spermatids reach full maturity some two months after the female becomes gravid. Throughout the year, the testes contain spermatids at various stages of development although spermiogenesis appears to be maximal during November when spawning occurs. This paper describes the morphological and ultrastructural characteristics of the testes and spermatids.Specimens of this fish were collected at Syferkuil Dam, 8 km north- west of the University of the North over a twelve month period, sacrificed and the testes excised.
