Reversal of Urinary tract diversion after recovery from hysterical conversion reaction.

We have described a case in which the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis with findings of progressive paraplegia and a neurogenic bladder led to supravesical urinary diversion. Pyocystis led to creation of a urethrovesicovaginal fistula. Psychotherapy later uncovered hysterical conversion reaction. Which was cured with hypnotherapy. The urinary tract diversion was subsequently reversed after reconstruction of the bladder and urethra.

Nutrition intervention strategies in the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT).

The Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT) simultaneously intervenes on three major risk factors for coronary heart disease: Hypercholesteremia, hypertension, and cigarette smoking. It was, therefore, essential to develop intervention strategies which would be appropriate across all modalities. The initial methodology combines the transfer of basic information, the use of small groups of participants and their homemakers to facilitate changes in life style, and the use of the principles of behavioral change and maintenance theory to encourage long-term success in adapting and maintaining new habits over a life time.
