The European Resuscitation Council has developed new guidelines for adult Basic Life Support. These guidelines will be introduced in The Netherlands in August 2006. The most important changes in the new guidelines include the recommendations to begin resuscitation when the victim is unconscious, does not respond and is not breathing normally; to start with cardiac massage; to insufflate for about 1 second at a time; to place the hand directly onto the centre of the victim's chest; and to resuscitate at a ratio of 30 cardiac compressions to 2 insufflations.

This cross-sectional study aimed at explaining the nature of needle phobia and its relationship in dental phobic children with evidence on age-related differences. The patient sample included randomly selected patients and an group of referred anxious children. The children were divided into three age groups and arranged into three anxiety groups. Needle phobia was demonstrated to be age-related, but should be considered as a separate phenomenon, being not specific for dental anxiety.
