Comparison of delinquent boys and girls in group homes and factors associated with the outcome.

One hundred boys and girls who were placed in two group homes by court order were studied. The girls were admitted mostly for status offences while the boys were admitted for offences to property and persons. Over half of the sample had an immediate family member who had committed a serious crime. This group differed in several ways from the group with no family history of crime. When the outcome of the entire sample was investigated, it was found that there are some indicators that could be used as predictors for the outcome in a delinquent population. This could have a definite clinical application.

Corneal pathology and aniridia associated with partial trisomy 2q, due to a maternal (2;6) translocation.

A newborn with partial trisomy 2q, due to a maternal (2;6) translocation is presented. The baby had microcephaly, a prominent forehead, hypertelorism, a broad nose with a flat nasal bridge, a long philtrum, micrognathia, and low set ears which are common to cases with partial 2q trisomy. Additional findings of aniridia and marked corneal pathology are reported.

Teaching behaviors in the attending-resident interaction.

A total of 949 interactions between residents and attending physicians in the ambulatory care center were analyzed in terms of defined categories of teaching behavior by using direct observation and the interactional analysis technique of educational research. Results showed that an interaction reflects team problem solving as the predominant teaching mode with the interaction being for the most part directed at the problems of the current patient. Hypothetical situations that broadened the discussion occurred in less than 20 percent of the interactions, and the attending physician rather than the resident virtually always initiated those teaching opportunities. Questioning and verbal expressions of positive, reinforcing behavior were used less often than might have been expected. Problems and opportunities in superimposing teaching goals upon an ambulatory clinical setting are explored in the discussion.

Depression among amputees.

A 35% prevalence of major depressive disorder was found in a prospective study of 65 amputees evaluated in a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department. The findings indicate significantly more alcohol abuse among the depressed group. Higher percentages of female than male amputees were found to be depressed and unmarried. The prevalence of smoking was significantly higher among those whose amputations were due to vascular disease rather than other causes (e.g., trauma). In addition to the physical care of amputees, their emotional needs and well-being merit serious consideration.

Depression in diagnostic subtypes of delinquent boys.

Eighteen percent of the 120 delinquent boys in a training school were found to be depressed when DSM III criteria for Major Depressive Disorder were utilitzed. Contrary to expectations, the prevalence of depression was not significantly more frequent among socialized, undersocialized, aggressive or nonaggressive subtypes. A comparison of depressive symptomatology among the depressed and nondepressed delinquents revealed that psychomotor agitation was not significantly different in the two groups. Over one-third of all parents were depressed and the authors suggest that this could be a contributory factor in the development of delinquency.

Academic and personal predictors of clinical success in medical school.

Admissions interview data and college academic credentials of five classes of University of Missouri-Columbia medical students were evaluated as possible predictors of clinical success. Those students who were judged by admissions interviewers to have high levels of maturity, nonacademic achievement motivation or rapport were approximately two to three times as likely to receive outstanding internship recommendations as those without such personal characteristics. Under-graduate grade-point average had a smaller but nevertheless significant relationship with clinical success as measured by internship letters. These data suggest that additional emphasis during selection upon applicants' personal characteristics would have enhanced the clinical success of these students.

We are losing our brothers: Sorcery and alcohol in an Aboriginal community.

The concerns and fears of the people of an Aboriginal community which follow the premature death of any of its members are discussed. These concerns centre on the competing possibilities that the death has been caused either by sorcery or by chronic and heavy consumption of alcohol. The expressed needs of the people with respect to communication with medical staff both during illness and after a death are presented and are explored in the light of the quest of one of us (D.M., a senior community member) for information about the causes of the deaths of several men of the community.
