RESUMO
The author reports on his experience with a new form of local anaesthesia in cosmetic surgery, namely a cream for local application produced by the Swedish firm ASTRA under the name of EMLA. It is a mixture of prilocaine and lidocaine. The effect sets in 45 min after application. The technique and indication range in cosmetic surgery are described.

The study was designed to assess the effect of heavy metal fallouts in industrial areas on the development of primary palatal cleft in Northern Moravia and Silesia over a period of five years (1985-1990). The study involved a total of 110 children; fallout levels in their places of residence were determined. Heavy metal fallout levels were measured in the ashes of needles and forest soil in the nearest possible locality to the place of birth of the child. The data obtained show a striking correlation between increases in cadmium and cobalt levels and the development of primary palatal cleft.

The paper compared three methods of local anaesthesia application used for taking dermoepidermal transplants. 1. Procaine injections: advantage: effectivity; disadvantage: lengthy procedure, uneven surface. 2. Freezing with Kelene: advantage: speed, no preparation needed, good effect; disadvantage: thicker grafts. 3. EMLA local application: advantage: effectiveness, simplicity; disadvantage: none This shows EMLA application as an optimum method. If anaesthesia without preparation needs to be applied quickly, it is advantageous to use Kelene. Undoubtedly, it is a question of the method of choice, standard usage as well as availability of the anaesthetic.

It was found out the titer of antiimmunoglobulins of the rheumatoid factor (RF) type in the sera of melanoma patients can be used in prediction of the development of the patients' status. High titers of antiimmunoglobulins of the RF type, determined by the latex-fixation test (LFT), indicate an unfavorable prognosis in patients with clinical manifestation of uncontrollable recurrence appearing from 1.5 to 2 years after occurrence of the LFT titer.
