Planned random donor blood transfusion in preparation for transplantation. Sensitization and graft survival.

Random donor blood transfusions were used to prepare 183 prospective recipients for one-haplotype living-related donor (LRD) grafts or cadaver donor (CD) grafts. Five units of packed red blood cells were administered over a 7-10 day period, and weekly sera were monitored for six weeks. Sensitization was uncommon in men and nulliparous women (8/153), was of low reactivity, and was not a barrier to transplantation. Multiparous women had a 44% frequency of sensitization on presentation and 11/24 initially lacking cytotoxicity developed reactive serum following transfusion. Single-haplotype LRD recipients had 96% one-year graft survival. CD recipients had one-year graft survival of 72%. The rate of transplantation in surviving candidates exceeded 90%, and supports the hypothesis of a protective immune response.

How fair is the culture I.Q. test?

If a measure of intelligence is culturally biased it is assumed that disadvantaged individuals will score lower on it than on a less biased instrument. The Cattell purports to be "culture fair" and it was compared to the WISC with a delinquent juvenile population, controlling for both order effects and individual administration. The results reveal consistently lower mean I.Q. scores for the Cattell under all conditions. The Cattell appears to be a more difficult test for this population. It is concluded that considerable caution should be exercised inusing the Cattell as a culture fair method of I.Q. evaluation with underprivileged delinquent youth.

Client evaluation of community mental health services: relation to demographic and treatment variables.

Community mental health center (CMHC) outpatient clients' satisfaction and perceived problem improvement were assessed by telephoning 108 clients, representing 40% of clients discharged during the period under investigation. The CMHC's services were perceived positively, and most clients were satisfied with their therapy experience, found it helpful, and felt more able to handle future problems. Data on reasons for termination, expected future behavior, and extratherapeutic factors were also gathered. Of particular interest were the findings that satisfaction and improvement were unrelated to client age, sex, marital status, or social class, but significantly more positive outcome responses were found for those clients who terminated therapy with a mutual client--therapist decision as compared to those who terminated unilaterally.
