This publication points out that while successful safety programs may differ considei ably in the emphasis placed on certain aspects of them, there are certain basic elements which must be incorporated into every program if maximum results are to be obtained. Four basic elements are identified, and program activities to implement these elements are discussed. This bulletin should be particularly helpful to establishments just starting to organize their safety activities. INDUSTRIAL MEDICAL PRACTICE 210 Microstructure of the Lung. V. . Krahl. Arch. Environmental Health >, 37-42 (Jan. 1963). A brief survey of the microscopic anatomy of the delicate, sensitive, and responsive lining of the respiratory tree is presented. Two experimental methods are suggested by meant of which normal pulmonary anatomy and physiology,. phagocytosis, pulmonary ventilation, and perfusion, etc., may be studied. -- Author's summary 211 Age Related Changes in the Fibrous Proteins of the Lungs. Arch. Environmental Health 6, 50-57 (Jan. 1963). J. A. Pierce. Human lung collagen and elastin were measured with an alkaline extraction method. The elastin content of the lungs increased as age advanced during adult life. The collagen con tent did not change. Several techniques employed have failed to show any differences between elastins obtained from young and old people. The lungs of women contain quantities of collagen and elastin similar to those found in the lungs of men. -- Author's summary 2 1 2 Rehabilitation in Disseminated Sclerosis. An Evaluation of 28 Patients. W. O. Geisler and A. T. Jousse. Can. Med. Assn. J. _88, 189-191 (Jan. 26, 1963). The results of rehabilitation have been described and evaluated in a group of 2B pa tients moderately severely disabled with disseminated sclerosis between the ages of 19 and 7 1 years and in a controlled hospital setting. Twenty-three suffered chronic progressive disease and 5 were in remission from an acute exacerbation. They had had the disease an average of 12.7 years and were hospitalized an average of 5.4 months. On admission, 24 required much assistance with their activities of daily living, 6 had poor control of elimination, and 4 were depressed. On discharge, 13 cared for themselves with little or no help, 4 had overcome their problems of elimination, and 3 had improved emotionally. A major symptom in 13, fatigue, did not preclude successful performance, but a progression of disease or failure to react stead lastly did. None were gainfully employed. Six years after discharge, 1 8 of 20 were alive and happy at home. Authors' abst. I 3 Hepatocellular Cytoplasmic Changes in Acute Alcoholic Hepatitis. J. Am. Med.
