Family and group psychoeducational approaches in the management of schizophrenia.

The family movement is one of the most important movements in the mental health field in recent decades. In light of this trend, a psychoeducational focused group for schizophrenics and their families to learn management of schizophrenic illness is described. Antipsychotic medication for patients is assured by depot administration by the facilitator in a clinic immediately after the group sessions. This psychoeducational approach can serve as a prototype for others.

The molecular basis of partitioning in aqueous two-phase systems.

Protein purification based on partition in aqueous two-phase systems has attracted interest for many years. This approach has been advocated as a primary-stage unit operation in downstream processing. In reality, application has been strictly limited through inadequate understanding of the complex molecular forces involved in partitioning processes.

Long-term results of chymopapain injections.

A 10- to 14-year follow-up questionnaire of 146 patients treated for sciatica from a herniated nucleus pulposus by chymopapain (Discase) injection revealed a durable, satisfactory result in 66%. In the 102 patients rated as excellent or good, 5% required surgical discectomy 50-82 months after injection. One-, two-, and three-level injections were performed and the number of levels injected did not influence the success of the procedure or the subsequent need for open surgical intervention. There was no correlation shown between the incidence of job change or unemployment and the number of levels injected.

Native American food and medicinal plants, 8. Water-soluble constituents of Lomatium dissectum.

A continuing investigation of the umbellifer Lomatium dissectum has resulted in the isolation of a known flavonoid [1] and three coumarin glycosides [2-4], two of which are previously unreported. One of these new compounds [4] contains apiose, a sugar uncommon in the coumarins. The ichthyotoxicity of the plant extracts has been traced to the tetronic acids isolated earlier in this study.

Developing a psychiatric self-instruction module.

The development of a psychiatric assessment self-instructional module that incorporated learning needs assessment, collaboration, implementation, and evaluation is described. A tool as flexible as a self-instructional module responds to various learning styles and is adaptable to continuing education needs.
