RESUMO
The Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators and the Pacemakers are devices that produce electric signals and consequently they are touchy to the electromagnetic interferences. This touchiness may cause a temporary or permanent device's malfunction both for short, but of high intensity, and prolonged exposures. Considered the wide diffusion in the job's environments of the technologies based on the electromagnetic waves, the aim of the study is identify the presence of electronic equipment's electromagnetic interferences in AICD bearing workers. The last aim is give to the AICD bearing workers more detailed information about the prevention of inappropriate AICD shocks.

Pacemaker lead extraction has been shown to be an effective and safe treatment in the case of infected per-manent pacemaker leads. However, it can lead to potentially serious complications, usually occurring during the ex-traction procedure. This report describes a case of a 74-year-old male with a persistent superior vena cava thrombo-sis related to an infected permanent pacemaker lead transvenous extraction. Clinical and surgical management are discussed.

The immunologic, pathogenetic and clinical relationships between HLA antigens and oral immunologic diseases are described. The HLA typing is useful for an early diagnosis because it allows to single out the subjects at risk in a particular studied family.
