Nqr experiments on Sc-Y alloys at very low temperatures

We have performed Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) experiments on an alloy of scandium and yttrium. We find that the characteristic resonance frequencies in zero external field are 50 percent larger than in pure scandium. This increase in frequency makes the Sc-Y alloy a better candidate for absolute thermometry below 500 µK. However, the spin-lattice relaxation time of this alloy is more than an order of magnitude longer than in the pure scandium. In addition, we have observed an abrupt increase in the Korringa constant for temperatures below 5mK.     

Fathers and children: Predicting the quality and quantity of fathering.

This study looked at the quality and quantity of interactions between fathers and their firstborn 5-year-olds from the perspective of the family as a developmental interdependent system. The goals were to identify predictors of men's parenting from men's own adaptation (direct effects) and from their wives' characteristics (indirect effects), both measured during the expectancy. Twenty-three families from the Boston University Pregnancy and Parenthood Project made up the sample. Measures included self-report scales, observations, and semistructured interviews. Several of men's psychological characteristics, particularly their autonomy and job satisfaction, predicted their play time and the quality of their interactions with their children. Women's autonomy, occupation, and age in the expectancy predicted men's caretaking and weekday time involvement with their 5-year-olds. We suggest that the findings can best be explained by the concepts of complementarity and identification. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Food-related coping strategies after Hurricane Andrew

This telephone survey examined food-related coping strategies in Floridian households after Hurricane Andrew. Approximately 137 households of university faculty and staff who lived in hurricane-damaged areas were interviewed. The average respondent was a college-educated woman between 41 and 60 years old. Prevailing food-purchasing problems included food stores that were either closed, without perishable food, distant, or crowded. In the absence of electricity and water, changes in food preparation included preparation of meals without a stove, more frequent use of grills and canned food, simpler meals, and less cooking. Changes in kitchen cleanup included using more disposables, cleaning more often, washing dishes by hand, and cleaning up less often because of damage in the kitchen. Respondents indicated that the hurricane experience taught them that they should have acquired more general supplies (eg, coolers, thermoses, propane stoves, and gas burners), more water and ice, and more nonperishable foods before the hurricane.     

Inaccuracies in estimates of life expectancies of patients with bronchial cancer in clinical decision making

Cell cultures were derived from adult human brain biopsies [from cortical gray (cultures 9-HB-G and 33-HB-G) and white (culture 14-HB-W) and stroke-injured white matter (culture 33-HB-IW)]. The morphology and growth rate of cultured cells were examined and correlated with the presence of vimentin and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). The cultures from various brain matters differed in cell morphology and rate of growth but not in GFAP and vimentin staining. Cells of primary and rapidly proliferating cultures were GFAP-negative and vimentin-positive. Spontaneous growth deceleration occurred in culture 14-HB-W within passages 5 to 10 and in cultures 9-HB-G, 33-HB-G, and 33-HB-W within passages 17 to 20. This deceleration, as well as the successive complete growth arrest, were accompanied by an appearance of GFAP-positive cells and an elevated intensity for vimentin staining. We propose that GFAP-positive astrocytes originate from glial precursor cells that migrate from the explants and differentiate under prolonged subcultivation.     

Responsiveness of self-reported and objective measures of disease severity in carpal tunnel syndrome

Responsiveness, the ability to detect meaningful clinical change, is a critical attribute of instruments used to evaluate outcomes of treatments. The authors hypothesized that self-administered symptom severity and functional status questionnaires are more responsive to clinical improvement after carpal tunnel release than traditional physical examination measures of strength and sensibility. Data were obtained from a randomized clinical trial of endoscopic versus open carpal tunnel release conducted in four university medical centers. Patients were evaluated before surgery and 3 months after surgery. Seventy-four patients indicating that they were more than 80% satisfied with the results of surgery were assumed to have clinically meaningful improvement and were the focus of the analysis. Evaluations included questionnaires assessing symptom severity, functional status, and activities of daily living as well as measurement of grip, pinch, and abductor pollicus brevis strength, and 2-point discrimination and Semmes-Weinstein pressure sensibility. Responsiveness was calculated with the standardized response mean (mean change/standard deviation of change) as well as the effect size (mean change/standard deviation of baseline values). The symptom severity scale was four times as responsive, and the functional status and activities of daily living scales were twice as responsive, as the measures of strength and sensibility. Self-administered symptom severity and functional status scales are much more responsive to clinical improvement than measures of neuromuscular impairment and should severe as primary outcomes in clinical studies of therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome.
