  • Summary

    This chapter describes how prevention of mental disorders can be primary, secondary, or tertiary, but prevention overlaps in practice with active treatment. We still do not know enough about the causes of psychopathology. The reasons why we have insufficient knowledge of etiology to develop useful prevention programs are discussed. The chapter also includes a detailed consideration of a specific example, namely the problems associated with suicide prevention.

  • Background:

    Chronic rhinosinusitis is a common nasal disorder in children that is prone to recurrence. This study investigated the prevention of chronic rhinosinusitis recurrence with bacteria lysate in children.

    Methods:

    Bacteria lysate was administered 10 days per month for 3 months to children with chronic rhinosinusitis, who had just entered a remission phase. Visual analogue score, nasal symptoms scores, rhinitis attack frequency and antibiotic use were assessed at three months and one year.

    Results:

    At one year of follow up, the visual analogue score, nasal discharge and obstruction scores, number of days with rhinitis attacks per month and number of days with antibiotic use per month were significantly decreased in the prevention group versus the control group (p < 0.05).

    Conclusion:

    Bacterial lysate used in the remission period of rhinosinusitis in children was shown to provide long-term prophylaxis. Bacterial lysate can effectively reduce the frequency of rhinosinusitis attacks and ameliorate attack symptoms.
