(Stuffy, 1979).

When the present author (Stuffy, 1978) began to wonder about this problem (Stuffy, 1977), the author thought it was just Foolishness (Stuffy, Pretenz, & Pompus, 1975), but so many Authors are doing it that it requires comment (Stuffy & Important, 1977). What are they doing? Referring to their own works much too often (Stuffy & Stuffy, 1973). Too much self-referral has several Negative Consequences (Stuffy, 1970). First, it makes psychologists appear foolish and vainglorious, which of course is Not Possible (Stuffy & Gestalt, 1973). Second, it impedes the Advancement of Knowledge, and makes the History of Psychology unnecessarily difficult, because each Author tries to appear to be the Author of the Idea she or he is dealing with, obscuring the True Fact that the author of the idea was either William James or Kurt Lewin (Stuffy, 1935). Thus, students need about 12 years past their PhD to get the field straight in their heads-if then (Stuffy, 1969a, 1969'b, 1969c)-by which time their creativity is past (James, 1905, and/or Lewin, 1938. The present author (Stuffy, 1977b, 1977g) cannot imagine a profession any more taken up with the task of constantly seeking each other's praise.

Results of 589 dacryocystorhinostomies from 1960 to 1979 (author's transl)

A report of 589 dacryocystorhinostomies performed over a period of 19 1/4 years using a modified Dupuy-Dutemps technique. The operation can be performed at any age and has a provisional success rate of 96.08%. In a control series of 93 eyes between two months and 16.8 years we recorded a 90.32% success rate in the lacrimal ducts on which surgery had been performed.     

Alar fold resection in horses: 24 cases (1979-1992)

Between 1979 and 1992, the alar folds were resected bilaterally in 22 horses and unilaterally in 2 horses. Abnormal respiratory tract noise and exercise intolerance were the primary complaints prior to surgery. Significantly (P = 0.01) more Standardbreds underwent resection of the alar folds, compared with the number of Standardbreds in the hospital population during the same period. The alar folds palpated abnormally thick in 13 horses and normal in 11 horses. Temporary dilatation of the nares with mattress sutures or clips lessened the respiratory tract noise and improved exercise tolerance in all 8 horses in which the diagnostic test was performed. Manual elevation of the alar folds reduced respiratory noise in the 11 horses evaluated. Long-term follow-up evaluation by telephone was available for 14 horses. All surgical incisions had healed cosmetically. Respiratory tract noise was decreased, and exercise tolerance improved in 10 of 14 (71%) horses. Complete charted racing information was obtained for 16 horses. Fourteen horses started their first race a mean of 118 days (range, 13 to 321 days) after surgery. The mean number of starts after surgery was 51, with 14 of 16 (88%) horses starting more than 6 times after surgery. Of the 16 horses, 8 horses raced at least 3 times before and after surgery; 4 had improved racing performance, 2 had similar performance, and 2 had decreased performance. Five Standardbreds never raced, and 1 Standardbred raced once before surgery.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Clinico-epidemiological analysis of imported malaria in Donetsk region (1979-1997)

AIM: The study of possibility of reappearance of malaria foci in the Donets region. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 322 cases of imported malaria (IM) in the Donets region registered in 1979-1997 have been analysed clinically and epidemiologically. Malaria was diagnosed in immigrants from and visitors to Africa, Asia and Latin America, malaria-endemic Azerbaidjan, Tadzhikistan, Afghanistan. RESULTS: Late diagnosis of malaria occurred in immigrants and businessmen who got infected during their business trips. Causative agents of malaria imported from Azerbaijan and Asia were resistant to chemoprophylaxis with delagil and primaxine. Clinical forms of IM are described. CONCLUSION: There is a real danger of malaria reappearance in the Donetsk region as the residents are at risk of being infected from late-diagnosis foreign tourists, immigrants, refugees.
