Confirmatory factor analysis of the revised Personal Style Inventory.

The revised Personal Style Inventory (PSI) was developed to measure the sociotropy and autonomy personality dimensions; both of these dimensions are thought to confer specific vulnerabilities to the onset, maintenance, and reoccurrence of depression. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the theoretical structure that informed the construction of the PSI. Using a large sample of nonclinical participants (n = 869) and a sample of outpatients with major depression (n = 101), both the items and the subscales of the PSI decomposed into factor structures that were, overall, fair to good representations of the theoretical model. Modifications were needed at the subscale level to achieve an adequate fit for the nonclinical and clinical samples, which provide implications for both the measurement and theory of the PSI and the sociotropy and autonomy domains.

Stanley Rowbotham. Twentieth century pioneer anaesthetist.

Stanley Rowbotham was born in 1890 and spent the first years after qualification in 1915 with the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC). His career in anaesthesia began after the Armistice, when he was posted with Ivan Magill to Harold Gillies's plastic surgery unit at Sidcup. Together, they laid the foundations of tracheal anaesthesia. A versatile and inventive anaesthetist, Stanley Rowbotham later pioneered in the fields of thyroid anaesthesia, basal narcosis, local and intravenous analgesia and in the use of muscle relaxants. He also introduced cyclopropane into this country.

Post-traumatic headache.

The incidence of post-traumatic headache varies widely in different series. This paper presents a group of 84 patients aged between 11 and 38 years who had had severe head injuries. All had been unconscious for at least 24 hours and the majority (85%) for over a week. Only 12% had headaches. The incidence of headaches was lower in the more severely injured of the patients as judged by the extent of the physical disabilities and length of unconsciousness, though it was higher in those with severe mental changes. The reasons for the low incidence of headaches in this series are discussed.

Some factors determining prognosis in young people with severe head injuries.

Eighty-four patients under the age of 40 were rehabilitated after severe head injuries. All had been unconscious for at least 24 hours, and 35 were unconscious for more than four weeks. The mean length of treatment was 30.2 weeks. Seventy were discharged home, 13 remained in hospital, and one died. Seventy-two of the patients were followed up nine months to 15 years after the injury. Twenty-eight were working, 27 were at home but not working, 13 were in hospital, and four were dead. Prolonged unconsciousness, extensive neurological damage, and severe mental changes were found to be the main factors adversely affecting the prognosis; an inadequate family background and cerebral hypoxia were also considered to have an influence.
