Authors: Soria, M.; Busuttil, Anthony
Abstract: Xanthogranulomatous inflammatory changes of the endometrium are rare and appear to be related to obstructive changes in the endocervical canal. An elderly patient with an advanced squamous carcinoma of the cervix uteri presented with this condition.

Authors: Bonnici, Mario R.
Abstract: Many are the ophthalmic injuries seen daily at the ophthalmic department at St. Luke’s Hospital. The majority are of a minor nature and are treated on an out-patient basis. This is a retrospective survey of ophthalmic traumas of a serious nature occurring during the years 1986/1987. All the case required admission to hospital. The criteria used are various. Since this is a retrospective study no standardised format for data collection was used. There were 110 cases of which 94 were males and 16 females. The aim of the article is not to present the mode of treatment of these cases but to enlighten on the types of injures encountered and their causation.1989-01-01T00:00:00ZSocio-economic aspects of cigarette smoking in Malta and GozoLockhart, Douglas G.https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/8272020-06-16T10:39:33Z1989-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Socio-economic aspects of cigarette smoking in Malta and Gozo
Authors: Lockhart, Douglas G.
Abstract: Questions on smoking behaviour were included in the Census of Population and Housing taken in November 1985. Information was gathered on the number of cigarettes consumed by smokers, those who had stopped smoking and those who had never smoked. Since the Census, smoking has figured prominently in Maltese newspapers and the Health Education unit has been active in publicising the health hazards associated with tobacco dependence. Nevertheless relatively little research has been done on patterns of cigarette smoking and on the demographic, socio-economic and environmental factors that may go some way towards explaining the sharp variations in cigarette addiction within Malta and Gozo. This paper explores a number of these underlying dimensions and using a simple statistical index identifies those neighbourhoods which have high, about average and low levels of smoking behaviour.1989-01-01T00:00:00ZThe Sacra Infermeria since 1800 : a historical surveyEllul, Michaelhttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/7162021-03-15T13:01:30Z1989-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: The Sacra Infermeria since 1800 : a historical survey
Authors: Ellul, Michael
Abstract: This article describes the historical aspect and the ordeals of the Sacra Infermeria as a hospital beginning from its construction in 1574 by the Knights of the Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem, through the two-year French interlude between 1798 and 1980, the years under the British rule, and on until the end of World War II, when the building was taken over by the Education Department. This paper is a result of extensive historical research in European archives especially the Vatican Library for the period of the Knights, the Public Record Office in London for the post-1800 years and the National Archives for both periods.1989-01-01T00:00:00Z
