All patients had multiple cystic lesions diffusely distributed throughout the lungs. The lack of fibrotic changes was a prominent feature in all patients. HRCT correlated more closely than conventional CT with the pathologic findings.

[Enquiries to the Danish Poison Information Centre concerning children aged 0-14-years during a year].
Acute drug poisoning in children poses a serious health problem. The present study assesses all enquiries to the Danish Poison Information Centre (Giftlinjen) concerning children during a one-year period. ⋯ Most drug poisonings in children are not dangerous. However, there is often an uncertainty as to the toxic dose ingested, and an individual and thorough assessment of each case is therefore necessary. The risk assessment and advice given by Giftlinjen is an important tool to avoid unnecessary contact with hospital emergency rooms or other health care services.

[The antilysosomal sign in the microbiological characterization of river algal-bacterial communities].
The species composition of a river algobacterial association has been determined and the antilysozyme sign of its bacterial component has been studied, which makes it possible to determine the recency of fecal contamination of the water reservoir. The functional dynamics of the system "lysozyme-antilysozyme" in water biocenosis has been followed with a view to evaluate the sanitary and hygienic state of open water reservoirs.

[Some resolutions in difficulties of postgraduate psychiatric education in Japan].
1. Board Certification System of Psychiatry There was a heated debate about "Postgraduate Psychiatric Education and Board Certification of Psychiatry" in the annual meeting for the Japanese Society of Psychiatry and Neurology held in Nagasaki in 1968 and in Kanazawa in 1969. The oppositions of young psychiatrists were as follows; 1) Issues of low cost of medical expense as government politics, social protect politics from psychiatric patients, and improper management of patients in mental hospitals should be dealt before making Board Certification System of Psychiatry. 2) Management of the Society of Psychiatry and Neurology dissatisfies many psychiatrists. ⋯ Furthermore, psychiatric training should be mandatory for every rotating resident. The period of psychiatric training is one, two or three months, which depends upon each teaching hospital. It is epoch-making that every resident should receive psychiatric training, however, in other words, it means that psychiatric education in Japan will be re-evaluated through such a new training system.
