Retinal detachment following phacoemulsification.

In a consecutive series of 1,500 eyes in which phacoemulsification had been performed, the incidence of subsequent retinal detachment was 3.6%. Vitreous loss occurred in 4.2% (63) of the 1,500 cases, and in this group of eyes the incidence of retinal detachment was 14% (9). The characteristics of retinal breaks and the configurations of retinal detachments following phacoemulsification were in general similar to cases following intracapsular surgery. The surgical reattachment rates in these eyes compared favorably to previous reports on the repair of retinal detachments.

Regression of orbital hemangioma detected by echography.

Two infants had orbital cavernous hemangioma that showed impressive regression documented by ultrasound follow-up. In a 15-week-old infant the hemangioma regressed from a size of 11.49 mm to 5.36 mm in prominence during a six-month period. In a 9-month-old infant the mass regressed from 8.53 mm to 4.6 mm during a six-month period. These cases demonstrate that orbital cavernous hemangioma in infancy occasionally shows impressive regression. Furthermore, they illustrate the value of orbital ultrasonography in defining the natural history of orbital hemangioma. Similar follow-up studies in large numbers of infants with orbital hemangioma are needed to further our understanding of the natural history of this tumor.

The mental health center's role in school consultation: toward a new model.

The 1965 Boston Conference on the Education of Psychologists for Community Mental Health recommended a broad movement into the field of education and the development of the consultation function in an array of settings. The coordinator of that conference--at which the term "community psychology" was coined--presents a model for extending and redefining the traditional mental health--school consultation model. In this model consultation that is reaction to an existent problem by the clinical "expert" is integrated with a comprehensive model of collaboration that moves in the direction of systems change. The concept is presented through a case history of successful school--mental health center collaboration, a documentation of a full consultation service program to a large school system.

Venous angiography of hemodialysis fistulas. Experience with 52 studies.

The authors describe a simple outpatient venous angiographic method of delineating arteriovenous fistulas constructed for chronic hemodialysis, and variations of the basic technique are offered to solve the problems of overlapping vessels and obscured anastomoses. A normal fistula produces enlargement of the involved artery only, but there may be enlargement of multiple veins in the extremity in which the fistula is constructed. Stenoses, occlusions, surgical variations, aneurysms, functional abnormalities in the direction and quantity of flow, and inadequate positioning of the dialysis needles are discussed.
