ABSTRACT
Chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) is a frequent complication of allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Extensive musculoskeletal and skin involvement may induce severe functional impairment, disability and quality of life deterioration. Physical rehabilitation is recommended as ancillary therapy in these forms, but experiences are sparse. A 39-year-old man affected by musculoskeletal and skin chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) was treated with a homecare-based motor rehabilitation program during palliation for disease progression. Significant functional improvement was obtained. Motor rehabilitation should be strongly considered for patients with musculoskeletal cGVHD, both in the palliative and in the curative phase of disease.
ABSTRACT
"In Autumn 1995 the Czech Statistical Office published the new population prognosis until the year 2020.... The change of population climate connected with the over-all change of economic and social conditions in the process of social transformation appears to be profound and fundamental. It is therefore unlikely that there would occur a turn in the near future and that...natality would grow...again to a...significant extent." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

PIP: The authors describe trends in population dynamics in the Czech Republic in 1994. Aspects considered include change in population size, fertility, migration, nuptiality, age at marriage, mortality (including infant and neonatal mortality), contraceptive use, and abortion.

The "Czech Republic's demographic development in 1993 was characterized particularly by conspicuous abatement of nuptiality, continuance of natality decline, marked reduction of induced abortions...,continued decrease of infant and neonatal mortality rates and by considerable shrinkage of population increase due to migration. [A] steep fall of nuptiality became the most pronounced feature of population development in 1993.... The number of children born in 1993 in the Czech Republic was the [lowest] since 1918 and the crude birth rate...was the lowest...since 1785.... Marked diminution of abortions signifies another outstanding phenomenon of population development in the Czech Republic. There has [been a]...decline of deaths, [a] decrease of crude death rate and [a] medium life span extension." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND RUS)

PIP: The author reviews political and economic trends in Czechoslovakia since late 1989 and their effects on population characteristics, with a focus on the effect of changes in migration policy. A sharp decline in fertility, continued high levels of legal induced abortion due to unmet contraceptive need, and one of the shortest life expectancies in Europe are all noted. Some comparisons are made between the Czech Republic and Slovakia. (SUMMARY IN ENG AND RUS)^ieng

PIP: The author examines population trends in Czechoslovakia in 1988 and finds that for the second year in a row, the rate of population growth has increased slightly. This is attributed to the increase in fertility among women of reproductive age and a decline in mortality in the general population. The author also considers trends in induced abortion and the prospects for future population growth in Czechoslovakia. (SUMMARY IN ENG AND RUS)^ieng
