Never Hestitate
To Consult Physician
No disease is too grown up
for children. For this reason,
parents should never hesitate to
consult a physician to matter
how unlikely their symptoms or
complaints.
That is the sage advice giv-
en in the July issue of Harp-
er's Bazaar in an article that
spells out the variety of dis-
eases, ordinarily associated
with adults, that actually aff-
lict the young.
Hypertension. Arthritis, Can-
cer. Metabolic diseases, includ-
ing diabetes. Alcoholism. Dep-
ression. The list goes on and on.
"I wouldn't really regard any-
thing as an 'adult disease', says
pediatrician Muriel Kowlessar
of the Medical College of Penn.
sylvania. "Doctors and parents
alike must be alert of all types
of health disorders in children.
Otherwise problems of misdiag-
nares can happen."
Even infants are among the
2,000 children suffering from
juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
The cause is unknown, but it is
believed triggered by a virus or
abnormal immune reaction.
Every child known to have the
disease should be examined by
an eye specialist every six
months, for a complication in
one out of 10 cases is an eye
disorder that can lead to cat.
aracts.
Cancer is the Number 2 kill-
er of children, ranking only
behind accidental deaths.
Thanks to strides in chemoth:"
erapy, the survival rate for
acute leukemia has been climb-
ing. Since cancer is most treat-
able in the early stages, per.
ents should consult the doctor
quickly when unexplained fev.
or, double vision and other sy-
mptoms appear.
Current studies show thai
one- third of our high school
pupils drink regularly, with
many starting at 12 and 13.
'Early symptoms are wide sw-
ings of emotions, undue exhil-
aration, depression, silence, le-
thargy and sleepiness.
"The way to prevent drink-
ing problems in children is for
parents to set a good example
themselves," said Harper's
Bazaar. And on the wide spect-
rum of disease, this advice :
"Any abnormal signs, no matt-
er how unlikely they seem,
should be discussed with a
physician. For children are peo-
ple, and people have all types of
ailments - not just sore throats
and chickenpox."
Session Held
Don't expect braces and oral
surgery to repair your marr-
iage.
That was one sidelight of a
two- day scientific session here
for orthodontists and oral surg-
eons from throughout the state.
Two Ft. Worth. Texas doctors
who were the main speakers
passed along this advice. They
were Dr. Bruce N. Epker, an
oral surgeon, and Dr. Leward C.
Fish, an orthodontist.
"Some patients come in hop-
ing that getting their teeth
straightened and correcting
their facial disharmony will
save their marriage. Others
Impe it will get them a better
job, or make everyone sudden-
ly.like them," Dr. Fish said.
. "That is more than any dental
specialist can do," said Dr.
Epker. "We tell them to get
those things worked out and
then come back to us for treat-
ment. We can work near mir-
acles with a person's bite and
facial appearance, but- we can't
fix a broken marriage."
Surprisingly, some patients
don't really care about correct-
ing their facial disharmony.
"Even though we know we
can improve their looks drama-
tically while lining up their bite,
" said Dr. Fish, "'some pat-
ients think they look fine with,
say, a receding chin or a pro-
trudmg lower lip."
In cases like that, the two
dental specialists try just to
align the teeth so that they close
right.
Usually, though, patients who
are recommended for both br-
aces and oral surgery fall into
two categories -- those who
know exactly what facial short-
comings they want changed and
those who just hope for the best.
"Even though we know ex-
actly what is required to bring
these patmnts into facial har-
mony, it is important to get
them to talk about what they
hope to achieve from the treat-
sent," said Dr. Epker. "After
all, our idea of what will make
Both doctors said there's a
third category: those who would
rather be out fishing. "We don't
try to change their minds," Dr.
Fish said.
Oral surgery is recommended
for patients whose jaws have
grown so much ( or so little)
that just putting on braces is not
likely to bring their teeth back
into line. This is particularly
true in adult patients where the
jaw growth is complete.
It is very effective in treat-
ing open bite - a situation
where the front teeth don't meet
at all when the bite is closed.
One patient described it as
"biting down on a sandwich and
getting nothing but the bread ."
"Five or six years ago," said
Dr. Fish, "we hated to see an
open bite case because we
didn't known much about orth-
odontic and oral surgery team-
work. "Now", he added, "we 'r
glad to see such patients be
cause we know we can help
them."
Using sketches from orthod-
ontic x-rays, the two doctors
determine the ideal relationship
of the teeth. Then, Dr. Epker
plans the surgery by first per.
forming it on models of the
patient's teeth.
In a relatively few minutes in
the operating room, the teeth
can be brought significantly
closer to the ideal position. Also,
facial deformities are correct-
ed.
When the surgery heals, the
orthodonist "fine tunes" the
bite with braces until it is
correct.
Dr. Fish said that, when oral
surgery is performed, usually
the braces do not have to be
worn as long.
"Frequently," he noted, " a
patient's medical insurance will
cover 80 per cent of the oral
surgery where facial deformity
is involved." Increasingly,
there is insurance coverage for
part of the orthodontic fee, too.
Orthodontics and oral surgery

their idea at all. That can lead but they can't insure your mar-
to a bad situation after the riage or popularity.
N o-Fault Insurance
Since no-fault auto insurance
became a reality in Massach-
usetts in 1971, 23 additional
states have adopted some form
of no- fault insurance. In a no-
fault state, motorists involved
in an accident collect their med-
ical expenses and lost income
from their own insurance cam-
pony, rather than collecting
from the insurer of the at- fault
driver. In most no- fault states a
person injured by another per-
son in an auto accident cannot
sue unless he or she sustains
certain defined injuries or in-
curs a certain level of medical
expenses. This limitation on the
ability to sue eliminates small
claims and helps offset the cost
of providing the no- fault bene-
fits previously mentioned.
As is true with any new and
untried concept, experience un-
der the many different no- fault
laws in various states showed
that many of them could be
improved over what was initial-
ly enacted. Two states which
have recently reformed their
no- fault insurance laws are
Florida and New York. In each
instance, the improvemt was
a benefit to both comumer and
Insurer, and as a result of these
reforms, Allstate is currently
paying a dividend to its auto
policyholders in FloMda an
New York. In New York, the
company's dividend is 5 percent
of the bodily injury and par-
sonal injury protectlun prem-
ium while in Florida it is I0
percent of its bodily injury
• remlum.
"These dividan m..made
pouible by changes in New
York's and Florida's immrance
laws that significantly impact
our profit picture in tlume st-
ates," said an Allstate spoke-
sperson.
In December 1977, New York
instituted a fee schedule of
medical services Indicating
payments for verions medical
procedure, as well as a verbal
threshold which permits law-
suits only under certain cir-
cumstances. That move elimin-
ated many of the suits assoc-
iated with New York's former
no- fault laws. For the first time
in several years, Allstate has

York to reform insurance la
particularly the state no- fBl
law," commented the Allate
spokesparson.
Florida also made changes in
its no- fault insurance law in

New 00[)fficers
Have you ever found an in-
sect around your house or gar-
den and wondered what it is, or
if it's harmful? There are a
number of insects present in
West Virginia this time of year.
The majority are quite comm-
on to most of us, but occas-
ionally you run across an in-
sect that you've never seen
before. When we find a strange
insect we usually have many
questions about it. According to
Agriculture Commissioner Gum
R. Douglass, the Pest Identi-
fication Laboratory was estab-
lished by the West Virginia
Department of Agriculture to
answer your questions about
insects and to make recom-
mendations for treatment or
control.
The Pest Identification Lab-
oratory is part of the Plant Pest
Control Division of the West
Virginia Department of Agric-
ulture and is located at new
headquarters at Guthrie Agric-
ultural Center. It is staffed by
entomologists who examine and
identify insect specunens sent
to them. They also make rec-
ommendations on methods of
controlling various insects. Last
year, the lab handled 418 in.
sect or insect-related problems.

at the lab request that you
place all insects, except mo-

The Pest Identification Lab-
oratory is usually very prompt
in dealing with identification
problems. They try to process
specimens the same day they
receive them. However, they
are quite busy this time of the
year; thus, Rmay take two to
three weeks for an individual to
receive an answer. H the lab
gets a specimen they cannot
identify, they wfll. forward it
to the National insoct Musem :.
in Washington, D.C. for
analysis. In this case, it could
take as long as six months to
receive an answor.
