In preparation for the implementation of the Healthy School project in Yugoslavia, great attention was paid to evaluation procedures and instruments. One of them was the ‘Draw and Write Investigation ...Technique’ suitable for monitoring changes in pupils' knowledge during first four grades of elementary schooL The pupils (n=473) in first four grades were tested in three cities: Belgrade, Novi Sad and Zajecar. The results were compared and tested by age, sex, residence, and type of health-promoting measures mentioned. The results proved that the technique is sensitive enough to reveal expected differences in knowledge acquired in school. The technique was accepted by teachers, health workers, and pupils as very attractive and interesting. With some adaptations and modifications ‘Draw and Write Investi gation Technique’ will be used as a knowledge-change evaluation instrument in the Healthy School project in Yugoslavia

Most centers worldwide use permanent endovenous cardiac electrostimulation in children requiring pacing whose body mass is over 10kg. The normal implantation route is via a subclavian vein puncture. ...In our Center, we have implanted permanent endovenous pacing systems for complete AV block in nine children with a mean body mass 7.4kg (range 2.45-10kg). The endovenous lead was placed using cephalic vein cutdown procedure. To allow 'sliding' during the child's growth, the lead was secured by absorbable sutures.
