Psychopathology in heart transplant candidates.

Psychodiagnostic data are reported on 69 heart transplant candidates. Twenty-seven patients actually received a transplantation. A high prevalence of anxiety and depression appeared related to their desperate cardiac status. Distressful symptoms did not predict postoperative psychiatric complications. Reduced coping skills as reflected by diagnoses of personality disorders or organic mental impairment were associated with many behavioral problems capable of jeopardizing survival. Psychiatric input is necessary for, and was helpful in, the management of these patients.

Surgery, growth modification or orthodontic camouflage? Brian's case.

A skeletal class II malocclusion can be dealt with in a number of ways. The preferred option is to use orthodontic treatment and growth modification if at all possible, but in cases where this is not possible the problem might be camouflaged or treated by surgery. In the case reported here the options are fully discussed and the opinions of the orthodontists expressed in the CASES project made clear. The actual treatment undertaken is also described.
