Language: hrvatski
Summary: Beside definitions of accident and injury, the distribution
of intentional and unintentional accidents and injuries was
presented,together with the WHO data on mortality of injuries in the
world.Accidents in developed and in developing countries were described
separately.Furthermore accidents were divided according to circumstances of
occurrence and they were described regarding population(age,sex,profession
etc.),place and time of occurrence.
By describing causes of an accident a person or environment was emphasized.
Road traffic accidents were separately described, because they have the
highest mortality portion in all accidents.
Finally the suggestion for preventive measures on accidents has been given.
Keywords: Injury, accident, causes of accident, injury prevention.

Summary: The prevalence of respiratory symptoms and ventilatory
capacitywere studied in 116 drivers and 119 mechanics.The drivers
andmechanics demonstrated a significantly higher prevalence of mostchronic
respiratory symptoms (CRS) than control workers.Amongdrivers smokers there
was a significantly higher prevalence ofmost CRS than among non-smoking
drivers.Drivers and mechanicswith more than 10 years of service also showed
a higherprevalence of CRS than those employed for less than 10 years.
These data for drivers and mechanics indicate that
long-termemployment,particulary in combination with smoking,may cause
thedevelopment of CRS and changes in lung function.
Keywords: Epidemiological investigation,motor exhaust gases,smokers.

Summary: Epidemiologic research of injuries in road accidents in
Croatia and Zagreb involving pedestrians,drivers and passengers shows a
significantly higher mortality of elderly pedestrians (65 and over).Among
injured,the highest incidence have children (7-14yrs) and then elderly
pedestrians.Three models are briefly presented:Poisson process,Markov chain
and Rank correlation model. Thesemodels use basic traffic variables:number
of registered motorvehicles,motor fuel consumption,length of roads, cyclone
appearance and weekly variations of traffic flow.A set ofpreventive
measures are proposed:from ergonomic approach for the elderly to specific
traffic education of the population.
Keywords: Prevention of traffic accidents,modelling,road traffic variables.

Summary: Mortality trends and distribution in a system of 32 general
andteaching hospitals in the Republic of Croatia for the years 1966through
1989.By means of 13 elaborated and/or selected indicatorsusing hospital
health statistics as a data base,we measured thechanges in the
dynamics,structure and level of death atinstitutions,individual medical
departments and among patients. Hospitals mortality statistics can provide
a solid base for the evaluation of the quality of inpatient medical
care,if thediagnosis of causes of death is improved,and methodology
forsentinel-health-events adopted.

Summary: In the elderly people health care a prevention is needed
for all
those conditions that lead to the deterioration of the maindisease and
functional disabitlity.Among elderly people who needhealth care most
frequent are the patients with long-standing illness and functional
disability.In wartime it is important for
an elderly person to take care of his health and to avoid risks
as much as he can.Two of the important instructions are:
-that elderly people try to prevent accidents by remowing anyobstacles and
contamination and to repair as soon as possible the
damages in their houses related to gas,electricity and fire;
-that they be cautious in road traffic,especially in winter time.
Keywords: Health protection of the elderly,war circumstances, accident prevention.

Institute,118 children were treated from intoxica-tion by pesticides,of
which 65 children were intoxicated byorganophosphorous
insecticides.Epidemiological characteristics:

Summary: Intoxication by herbs althouh less frequent in acute
intoxicationin children,often causes vital danger and is more frequent
thanregistered.It is more frequent in children because of their ten-dency
to oral exploration.Children in Croatia are mostly intoxi-cated
by:castoroil plant(Ricinus communis),deadly nightshade (At-
ropa belladona)and thorn apple (Datura stramonium).Because of itshigh
frequency,intoxication by fungi requires special treatment.Types of berries
by colours are presented in tables.There areslightly toxic,fairly and
highly toxic herbs according to the de-gree of toxin in herbs.The results
of survey on intoxication byherb are presented.The importance of early
dg.and prev.is stresed

Summary: The authors present the diagnostic examinations used in two
boys 12 and 14 years of age exposed to lead in unusual way.No specific
treatment was required except the removal from the further exposition to
lead.The information provided by this presentation may form a reminder to
general practitioners on possible etiologic part of lead intoxication in
numerous non-typical,subclinical forms of diseases.Therefore,diagnostic
methods,staging of the disease,specific treatment and prevention are also
discussed.

Summary: The results based on the 11 year experience in the
treatment of 2000 children with the acute poisoning,the gained knowledge in
epidemiology,diagnostcs and treatment have been presented.The children were
of both sexes between 2-5 years of age and they needed the hospital
treatment due to the ingestion of the medicines from the home supplies in
most cases,rarely because of the ingestion of chemicals or alcoholic
drinks,and very rarely the ingestion of pesticides,plants or the poisoning
caused by carbon monoxide.Due to the diversity of substances in the
etiology of acute poisoning in children, we decided to exclude the chemical
compounds for which there are no specific antidotes and for which only
general detoxication and symptomatic treatment is possible.We prepared the
practical instructions in order to rationalize diagnostic and therapeutic
procedures,decrease insecurity of general practitioners and increase
efficiency for the ill children.Each of the mentioned groups of poisons is
described separately,the most common are throughly discussed and the latest
knowledge from literature is cited. The possible measures for prevention
found out during the mentioned period are suggested.

Summary: A group of so called chemicals for domestic use is ranked
2nd ofcauses of death in children.Almost 50% of patients are childrenaged
2-3years,innocent victims of their interest for environmentand their
inexperience and of neglect of adults who leave thesechemicals at disposal
of children.More often those intoxicatedare boys-by cleaning chemicals with
corrosive effect,and diluti-on chemicals for paint and varnish belonging to
the group of pe-troleum products.Insufficient information about the
ingredientsof chemicals for domestic use and uncontrolled surveillance
ofpacking conditions aggravate to a physician in practice diagno-
sing and treatment of this group of intoxication in children.

Summary: Childhood injuries are very common.The West Glamorgan
injury database shows that one in five children attends a hospital accident
and emergency department as a result of an injury each year and that
roughly one in a hundred children suffers a fractured bone each
year.Further analysis shows that there is a considerable fall off in
attendance with increasing distance from hospital for almost all injuries,
with exception of injuries resulting in fractures.This suggests that
surveillance of fractures would be a useful indicator of injury occurence
in a district and that the amount of work involved in collecting
information of childhood fractures would be feasible for most districts.
Keywords: Children, bone fractures, injuries, accidents.
