RESUMEN
A descriptive epidemiological study was conducted on the characteristics and risk factors of 514 cases of bladder cancer. The results show a higher prevalence in males aged 70 or older. A higher incidence was found in those with a lower occupational level. There is a relationship with smoking and a Quetelet obesity score higher than normal. Anatomo-pathologically, the transitional cell type was the most common. A history of hematuria and obstructive disorders, basically arising from the prostate, were frequently found.

The study describes the mortality (1951-1986) and morbidity (1977-1988) from appendicitis in Spain. Mortality decreased steadily throughout the study period; it was higher in men and in the elderly, both men and women. Hospital morbidity from appendicitis decreased by 40% from 1977 to 1988; this decrease was more pronounced in elderly patients; morbidity was higher in patients 15 to 24 years old. Possible causes of this evolution in morbidity are discussed.

A descriptive study was made of the trend of the stomach cancer mortality rate in Spain over the period 1951-1985. An upward trend was observed until 1963, and from that time on it gradually decreased in both sexes, though the male population always had a higher rate. By age, the mortality rate showed a clear increase in the fifties, in both sexes. A cohort effect was also clearly evident, the mortality rate was gradually lower in the most recent generations and among the different age groups, which is in keeping with the gradual decrease of the "Potential years in life lost" throughout the time period investigated. The above descriptive data would doubtless be of interest should analytical studies be undertaken.

PIP: Mortality trends in Spain from 13 major causes of death are analyzed for the period 1972-1982 and compared with trends for the same period in France. Increases in mortality in Spain are noted for three causes--malignant tumors, cardiac diseases, and suicides and homicides--whereas significant declines in mortality are noted for pneumonia, influenza, chronic bronchitis, and asthma. Excess mortality for males is common to both countries. (SUMMARY IN ENG)^ieng

In this study we review the mortality in Spain from liver cirrhosis between 1951 and 1983. There was a decrease in the general mortality due to this cause, while in the study of mortality by sexes there was only a tendency to decrease in males but not in females. When an analysis was made according to age groups, there was a tendency to rise in younger patients, while there was a lowering in older ones. We also studied comparatively the mortality data for the same cause in France.

In this paper, ways of setting up the functions of personnel management is discussed. For this, the basic factors such as knowing exactly what the potential and needs of the personnel in question are used in order to undertake the objectives of the health care institution, as well as the different ways of employing incentives and motivation to strengthen the work capacity and maximize the results obtained from the hospital institution. In addition, the zero base planning and its role in this model are explained.
