Due to its epidemiological features and to the alarming consequences in dental disability, child abuse represents a real dental health problem. The aim of this study was to identify potential orofacial trauma patterns associated with child abuse and violence. Materials and method. 591 children in possession of a legal medicine certificate issued by the Institute of Legal Medicine Iași were enrolled in a statistical analysis. On hand of statistical tests, various epidemiological correlations regarding the pathogenic pathways and types of traumatic injuries were established. Results and discussion. The trauma patterns that can be identified throughout a complete general and oro-dental examination performed by a trained DMD or a forensic dentist are multiple. They are significantly associated with multiple factors like age or sex-as a basis of optimal prevention. Conclusions. Through their frequency, polymorphism and potential dental and aesthetic disabilities, the orofacial trauma patterns should be a subject of concern for all parties involved. Optimal prevention and treatment are crucial for the future physical and psychological development of the child.

The purpose of the study is to identify perception of doctors and pharmacists on drug promotion practices adopted by pharmaceutical representatives. Material and Methods: A total of 72 pharmacists and 65 doctors responded to a questionnaire about their perceptions on drug promotion practices by pharmaceutical representatives, both in relation to pharmacists and doctors in the relationship. Variables such as age, work environment (urban, rural), seniority, were considered. Of all pharmacists who responded to the questionnaire, a percentage of 47.8% say they have no information about the existence of an ethical code of the pharmaceutical company, and 52.1% believe that there is such a code. Pharmacists estimated that over 75% of pharmaceutical representatives promote clearly the products; the information provided is accurate, complete and balanced enough to compete. Meanwhile, the percent estimated by doctors is 73%. Informal gifts are more often offered to doctors, in both category's opinion. Conclusion: medical doctors have a more positive evaluation about pharmaceutical representative's attitude than pharmacists.

Quantitative determination of ethanol from blood is used for scientific research, for evaluation of ethanol metabolism in the human body or in the forensic laboratory. The aim of our paper is to develop and validate a method in order to determine the quantity of blood ethanol using gas chromatography with headspace. We used a GC 6890 N Agilent equipment, with headspace G 1888, two columns for alcohol analysis (DB-ALC1 and DB-ALC2) and FID detectors. The retention time has been higher when using column DB-ALC1 (1.362 min) rather than for DB-ALC2 column (1.313 min). Internal standard for this method was isopropanol. The developed method for ethanol is specific because the retention time is different from the internal standard. Our method is linear in the range of 0.5-4 g/L. The correlation coefficients were 0.99958 for column DB-ALC1, respectively 0.99953 for column DB-ALC2. Using standard solutions like samples, we determined method precision and the recovery in percentage from theoretical concentrations. The recovery percents were between 98.89% (theoretical concentration 3 g ethanol/L) and 107.70% (theoretical concentration 0.5 g ethanol/L). In order to establish the influence of blood matrix, blood samples with known concentration of alcohol and internal standards, have been evaluated. In this case, the values for RSD were between 0.5 and 3.5% in direct correlation with sample homogeneity. The detection limits were 0.055 g/L (DB-ALC2) and 0.053 g/L (DB-ALC2). In the same conditions, the quantification limits were 0.186 g/L (DB-ALC2) and 0.177 g/L (DB-ALC2). The developed and validated method, in the mentioned conditions, is linear, precise and accurate and could be used for ethanol determination.

Up to the present, there have not been any specific norms regarding medically assisted human reproduction in Romanian legislation. Due to this situation the general legislation regarding medical assistance (law no. 95/2006, regarding the Reform in Health Care System), the Penal and Civil law and the provisions of the Code of Deontology of the Romanian College of Physicians are applied to the field of medically assisted human reproduction. By analysing the ethical and legal conflicts regarding medically assisted human reproduction in Romania, some characteristics cannot be set apart because they derive from religious, cultural and socio-economic aspects. In this article the authors identify the development stages of medically assisted human reproduction in Romania, beginning from these characteristics and insisting upon the failure of the legal system in this specific field. The authors consider that the law regarding medically assisted human reproduction cannot be effective because it did not take into account the ethical and cultural aspects that might appear. Furthermore, in this framework of the legal process, no public debate involving the representatives of civil society was undertaken although the Council of Europe Oviedo Convention approved by our country according to law no. 17/2001 stipulated exactly this working method.

The non-traumatic acute epidural/extradural hematoma is an entity rarely described in the literature. In general, it characterizes the young age, especially due to the relation of the dura mater with the internal side of the skull. In this article the authors present a case of pathological extradural hematoma, following a disseminated intravascular coagulation that appeared to a young woman suffering from a pregnancy that was stopped in progression. The necroptic findings corroborated with the microscopic diagnosis has revealed the presence of a non-traumatic acute extradural hematoma.
