[Limited radical approach in differentiated thyroid gland cancers. A prospective study of 107 patients].

From 1979 until 1987 a prospective study about limited radical therapy of 107 patients with differentiated cancer of the thyroid was performed. Nearly all of the tumors were occult papillary or encapsulated papillary and follicular carcinomas. The thyroid was not completely resected. Postoperative therapy consisted in TSH-suppression. After a follow-up of 7.5 (5-12) years one patient had died because of the tumor disease. Four patients had to be reoperated for lymph node metastases and then stayed free of disease as all other patients.

History of frontal lobotomy in the United States, 1935-1955.

The history of frontal lobotomy is a dramatic chapter in the development of medical treatment. Based on experimentally induced lesions in primates, lobotomies were introduced as procedures designed to modify the affect and behavior of hospitalized mental patients. Within 10 years, variations in surgical techniques were numerous, and the treatment was an accepted alternative in many hospitals in the United States. Patients on whom the operation was performed had a variety of diagnoses, including schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and affective illness. With the introduction of neuroleptic medication and behavior and milieu therapies, this surgical treatment for the emotional component of psychiatric illness fell into disuse. As its legacy to medicine, frontal lobotomy provided neuroanatomical information from which contemporary biological theories of behavior developed.

Psychologic stress in myocardial infarction.

During the acute phase of myocardial infarction, patients may experience anxiety, depression, denial and decompensation. Their ability to master the painful aspects associated with the stress of this severe illness and to convert defenses to beneficial coping directions depends on their character traits and effective psychiatric intervention. Sequelae to myocardial infarction include invalidism and prolonged disruption of the patient's family life and development.
