HappinessThrough Health ' —_:_ Kissing May Spread Dental Diseases Kissing can spread germs that cause cavities, bleeding gums and pyorrhea, accord ing to Dr. Paul Keyes, a scientist from the National Institute of Dental Research. “There are reasons to believe that dental diseases can be transmitted from person to person,” he reported at a meeting in New York recent ly Dr. Keyes told of mothers with advanced cases of pyor rhea - loose teeth in infected sockets -- whose children were found to have an alarming number of the suspected di sease-causing bacteria in their mouths. “Because the micro-organ ism involved in dental diseas es are probably transmitted from person to person, when ever possible we examine o ther members in a family and other persons with whom a patient is likely to be intimate - boyfriend, girlfriend ” The germ theory of dental illness may surprise lots of dentists. Up until now most have believed that conditions they treat largely are the result of improper brushing, too many sweets, deficient defense mechanisms and tar LUNG CANCER A team of doctors recently reported a new test for de tecting lung cancer before the usual physical evidence ap pears. The test, reported by University Hospitals of Cleve land and Medical College of Wisconsin physicians, is based on the fact that complex body proteins called inmunoglobu lins - IGA - often reflect the body’s attempts to respond to various diseases. The study involved exami nation of IGA levels in secre tions from a diseased lung and a normal lung in the same individuals. The teams repor ted that great variations found in IGA levels between the two lungs of an individual indicate various diseases. Patients with tuberculosis showed lower than normal IGA levels in their diseased lung while patients w ith one of three types of lung cancer showed IGA levels two to six times higher in affected lungs "The elevated IGA levels are both significant and abso lute. because they compare the two lungs of the same individual, with the unaffected lung used as a control." said Dr. Mark A. Mandel, of Uni versity Hospitals. "Since each patient is his own control, the usual indivi dual variations in response to Wood Veterans Administra tion Hospital in Milwaukee. WOMEN PHYSICI/CNS Three of four women physi cians surveyed in the Detroit area said they took care of all their families' cooking, shop ping, child care and money management in addition to their patient' health. The survey, reported re cently in the Journal of the American Medial Association, also indicated that the women physicians earned less than their male counterparts and rarely l\eld high-status posi tions in their profession. Dr Marilyn Heins of the Wayne State University School of Medicine and Sue Smock of the school s Center for Urban Studies surveyed 87 Detroit-area w omen w ho had been trained as doctors Two thirds of the women said, however, that they had do mestic help one or two days a week to assist with laundry and cleaning chores. The re maining third said they did all their own housework The average family income among women doctors, most of whom have working hus bands. was lower than the average family income of male doctors, few of whom had working wives, the study said. Forty-three percent of the women doctors are mar ried to doctors. "I don't think there's any question that there is sex discrimination in medicine," Dr Heins said. She said the survey findings contradicted an assumption held by some medical educa tors that training women for the profession was a waste of time because they tended to leave to care for their fami lies. The study indicated that 84 percent of the women were doing medical work and 90 percent were working full time at some job. (NNPA) l "' This Is Your Paper Use It.
