Treatment outcome among child psychiatric outpatients in a community mental health center.

The study evaluated the effectiveness of mental health center treatments for children aged 5-12 years. The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was administered before and after treatment to the parents of the treatment group (N = 71). The results were analyzed and compared to the results of the pretest and posttest CBCL administered to the parents of a matched group of comparison subjects (N = 33). The results showed that the treatment subjects significantly improved on both the externalizing and internalizing scales of the CBCL. The controls showed no significant change between pretest and posttest scores. As a result, it appears that clinic treatments can help clients with measurable problems decrease problematic behaviors. More data is needed to determine whether clinic treatments such as the ones described in this study can substantially help the most seriously disturbed school-age children.

Percutaneous vascular surgery after aortic valvuloplasty: initial clinical experience.

Percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty can be associated with significant vascular morbidity. Often, managing the access site prolongs the length of hospitalization. Three patients were successfully treated with percutaneous femoral arterial vascular surgery immediately after aortic valvuloplasty. These patients did not suffer early or late vascular complications. The access site care was dramatically improved when compared to our usual experience.
