    Notes: Abstract  We describe the development of transnasal endoscopic approaches to the cranial base in an interdisciplinary series of 103 patients, including 13 in the pediatric age group. Our aim was to define, with the aid of different case reports, the possibilities of endoscopic techniques in tumor resection, fistula repair, the treatment of mucoceles and meningoceles, and of combined intracranial and endoscopic approaches. The advantages of these minimally invasive approaches are panoramic visualization, rapidity and reduction of the cosmetic and functional disabilities in comparison with other conventional approaches, and a better capacity for identifying and developing key landmarks for surgery. On the other hand, endoscopic surgery requires an exsanguine operation field, technical improvements in instruments, and specific skills. Interdisciplinary collaboration in endoscopic approaches has proved useful in integrating experiences without overlap between fields, and in broadening possibilities: in our opinion endoscopic approaches will certainly be important in the future of cranial base surgery.

    Notes: Abstract In 1990 an investigation aimed at evaluating the possibility of organizing a regional screening programme for the early detection of cervical cancer was carried out in Liguria. Information on resources available for early detection of cervical cancer was obtained from 12 of 20 Public Health Units; a screening programme was feasible in 8 of them. The number of Pap tests examined was evaluted for 6 of 20 cytology laboratories. Only one laboratory examined more than 20,000 Pap tests in 1989 and, according to the international guidelines, can be a referring centre for screening. However, no information was available concerning inter- and intralaboratory quality control programmes. In the same period a population-based survey was carried out using a self-administered questionnaire in order to evaluate the attitudes of women towards cervical cancer prevention. A total of 1,454 of 4,197 women (35%) participated in the study. Younger, well educated women employed in non non-manual work were more likely to participate in the study. About 65% of the respondents had satisfactory practices with regards to the Pap test, suggesting a strong self-selection that probably resulted in a sample of women more health-conscious than the general population. In conclusion, our results suggest that major interventions should be carried out in the Public Health Units to direct resources to the needs of the population. In addition, new educational methods should be adopted to reach selected population groups to encourage them to have a Pap test performed on a regular basis.
