Fragrance administration to reduce anxiety during MR imaging.

Fifty-seven outpatients received either heliotropin (a vanillalike scent) with humidified air (n = 20) or humidified air alone (n = 37) via a nasal cannula during magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnostic workup for cancer. Delivery of heliotropin and air was determined by a computer-controlled schedule. Fragrance administration resulted in a statistically significant reduction in average overall patient-rated anxiety (on a visual analog scale) during imaging in patients who found the fragrance moderately to extremely pleasant. Administration of fragrance was associated with 63% less anxiety than administration of humidified air alone. Physiologic measures (pulse and heart rate) did not show a statistically significant effect with fragrance administration.

A theory of the serial lesion effect.

The serial lesion effect is explained as a result of differentiation contingent upon induction by a spared residue. The induction can only take place when the lesion is made since the intact structures repress differentiation when some critical mass is reached. A distinction between the process giving rise to reorganization and reorganization as an outcome is made.
