The theoretical knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation of 50 junior hospital doctors was examined, and an attempt made to assess their practical ability to manage a collapsed patient. Major defects were found in both the doctors' theoretical knowledge and their practical abilities. Only 8% were able to manage a cardiopulmonary arrest adequately. Suggestions are made as to how standards might be improved.

Quantitative techniques have been applied to the exfoliative cytology of normal and abnormal human oral mucosal squames. This study is ongoing but early results indicate that a normal baseline for clinically normal oral squames, related to age and site, may be difficult to achieve. However, results obtained for the pathological smears suggest that these techniques may improve the diagnostic sensitivity of cytology in the management of oral cancer.
