"Through-glass" injuries

This prospective trial collected all cases where injuries had resulted from the hand passing through or striking glass and had been referred to a hand injury service during 1 year. Eighty-seven cases were referred and the factors relating to these injuries were examined. A record was made of the structures damaged, the surgery performed and prevailing socioeconomic factors. These injuries were very costly in terms of morbidity, surgical effort and time, with significant resource implications. The study appears to confirm other reports that current legislation on glazing safety was too long delayed and is inadequate now that it is in place.     

建筑设计创作中的"形"与"式"

"形式"属于哲学范畴的概念,与"内容"相对.建筑的"形"是点、线、面的统一,建筑设计创作中琦"式"是规律、法则、手法.本文对这两个方面作了一些探讨,以期对建筑创作中的形式有所认识和把握.     

"共情"与"反移情"的比较

共情(empathy)和反移情(counter-transfcrence)分别是人本主义和精神分析理论中的重要概念.理论上两者有很大的差别,但在实际的心理咨询与治疗过程中,两者却有着一些共同之处.     

Vascular "remodeling"

Vascular remodeling means a specific organization of the vascular wall around a diminished lumen as to the before existing conditions, with consequent vascular geometry modification. This organization comes from the response of all vascular components (endothelium, muscular cells, connective component, etc.) to physical and chemical stimuli. Particular behaviour of the vascular wall has lately been pointed out, both in long known pathologies (arteriosclerosis, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerotic aneurysms) and in situations involving both physiopathology (ischaemia-reperfusion, angiogenesis) as therapy (angioplasty).     

Problems in the "evidence" of "evidence-based medicine"

The potential influence of racially or ethnically diverse cultural perspectives on patient compliance with post-transplant treatments is discussed. Domains of competency regarding culturally sensitive clinical practice are outlined to assist providers in better understanding the perspectives that may influence the views and behavior of culturally diverse patients.     

The afterimages of "hallucinated" and "imagined" colors.

"These experiments indicate that another claim for the 'hypnotic transcendence of normal functions' is not substantiated. Some individuals 'hallucinate' a color and 'see' its appropriate afterimage after a minimal 'hypnotic induction procedure'; other individuals do essentially the same thing without a 'hypnotic induction procedure.' In fact, some Ss do better on this task without the 'hypnotic procedure.' However, these experiments also indicate that 'trance' behavior may be an essential component in 'projecting' or 'hallucinating' colors."

"Periodic" seizures

PURPOSE: To describe regularly recurring ictal phenomena as recorded in a single patient whose seizure disorder related to a left temporal cavernous angioma. METHODS: Seizures were recorded by left temporal subdural strip electrodes which were bilaterally placed because of ambiguous seizure origin and right temporal memory dysfunction at Wada testing. Seizure length, interseizure intervals, and interseizure onset intervals were visually assessed. The coefficient of variation was used as an estimate of variability in seizure periodicity. RESULTS: Mean seizure durations varied from 68 to 95 s; coefficients of variation varied from 0.08 to 0.18, values similar to other periodic biological phenomena. Mean daily seizure intervals varied from 96 to 152 s with coefficients of variation ranging from 0.12 to 0.35. Interseizure onset intervals had smaller coefficients of variation (0.03-0.20). Manifestations of these simple partial seizures included a rising epigastric sensation and nausea. CONCLUSIONS: Previously described periodic EEG phenomena are interictal events or appear with peripheral events of similar cadence. Therefore, we remain unaware of any documentation of periodic ictal electrographic events. The restricted propagation and duration of these recorded seizures may have simplified their pathophysiology allowing a stereotyped involvement of excitatory and inhibitory mechanisms producing the periodicity.

Acoustic analysis of cries from "normal" and "irritable" infants

Infant irritability or colic is characterized by recurrent episodes of persistent, unexplained crying. The lack of a precise definition of the type and amount of cry that distinguishes an infant as colicky has hampered research and intervention efforts. The primary aims of this study are to describe the acoustic characteristics of cries of irritable infants and compare these to those of normal infants. Tape recorded cries of 11 irritable and 11 non-irritable infants were compared. The average age for infants of both groups was 8 weeks. The cries of irritable infants were higher in jitter, shimmer, proportion of noise, and tenseness than were the cries of control infants. Findings suggest that colic or infant irritability is more than just excessive crying. Acoustic characteristics of the cries of irritable infants reveal an increase in stress-arousal that supports the thesis of a state regulation disorder. Characterizing the nature and origin of the cries of irritable infants is essential to an understanding that will eventually guide appropriate diagnosis and management of these infants.

"Psychotherapy's" Autonomy.

Comments on the article by A. Astin (see record 1962-03183-001) which examined the functional autonomy of psychotherapy. The current author was left with the vague suspicion that Astin had martialed a good deal of scholarly evidence to prove a point that needs no proof. Psychotherapy is autonomous and serious students of it are giving a good deal of thought, time, and energy to a consideration of its functional properties. Certainly many of the "practitioners" are as unhappy as Astin over the uncertainties involved, but fortunately, unlike Astin they have not washed their hands of the "bothersome business" of outcome or process. The first issue that needs attention is his opening sentence. Unfortunately, here he gives no reference to indicate how long we have been about the business of attempting to formulate rigorously any test hypotheses about the therapy relationship within that situation itself and in the laboratory as well. The second and final point the current author makes is that it is unnecessary to answer Astin's article point by point. It would be more fruitful to look at the term "psychotherapy" and see in what way he may not have attended to what is perhaps the most important part of the problem he raises. That is, what does it mean to condemn "psychotherapy" when there are so many meanings attached to it, all applied by men of general good will who do intend to "provide a service to troubled people."

"Submasteral" psychologists.

The APA is in for another round on the topic of subdoctoral training. Many are convinced that much work in psychology can be performed without the doctorate. I should like, here, only to call attention to the possibility that some and perhaps much work of a psychological nature can be performed by persons at the bachelor's level. Such a solution of psychology's perpetual problem might have many advantages over the conventional solution of a two-year MA program. If the focus is changed from subdoctoral training to a consideration of the requirements for a technician, the perplexing question of the role of the MA can be avoided. A moderate curricular change at the undergraduate level will prepare technicians with almost the same level of skill and will save them and the universities two very expensive years in graduate school.

"Moon-cars" are dangerous

We investigated the number and seriousness of moon-car accidents in our region (a moon-car is a toy-vehicle, see Fig. 1). The study was retrospective combined with a telephone-interview. Forty-seven patients were seen in the emergency room after a moon-car accident in the period 1/1 1990-31/12 95. There were 12 fractures, including five fractures of the tibial shaft and one supracondylar humeral fracture which was operated. There were 17 wounds, 14 of which were sutured. Seventeen patients had distorsions/contusions, three cases of head contusions (observed for concussion) and two with teeth damages. We found that the number of moon-car accidents is increasing (13 patients the last year), and that the accidents are not only minor. New rules in day care centres should be able to especially limit the number of more serious accidents.
