Cephamycins, a new family of beta-lactam antibiotics. II. Isolation and chemical characterization.

Cephamycins A and B were isolated from the same fermentation broth of various actinomycetes by adsorption and ion-exchange methods. The antibiotics were separated from each other by column chromatography on a dextran-based ion-exchange resin. Cephamycin C was isolated from a different fermentation broth by ion-exchange and gel-filtration methods. The chemical characteristics of these new antibiotics were determined.

Traumatic stress disorder: diagnostic and clinical issues in former prisoners of war.

Examined are a variety of clinical issues in the diagnosis and treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) of former prisoners of war (POWs). Difficulties and complexities in understanding and diagnosing PTSD in former POWs presenting symptomatic complaints associated with this disorder are explored. Data collected on former POWs complaining of PTSD and diagnosed by DSM-III-R criteria revealed Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) clinical profiles appropriate for clinical application. Comparative data between German-held and Japanese-held POWs experiencing PTSD and adjustment-related stressors are discussed. Import on clinical strategies with diagnosed patients suggests both behavioral approaches to treatment and future directions in research.

Head injury in the presence of alcohol intoxication.

The difficulty of distinguishing between serious head injury and intoxication is presented in the case of an injured patient whose signs and symptoms were attributed to alcohol withdrawal. This report emphasizes the need for a high level of suspicion for all trauma patients, for all health care providers to be familiar with common forms of life-threatening trauma, and how to distinguish between altered levels of consciousness resulting from alcohol intoxication versus intracranial disorders. This case may also demonstrate that a person's wealth and social influence and an institution's orientation to a medical specialty can affect care giver's decisions.

Therapeutic strategies for cancer pain management.

Clinical issues related to treating the oncology pain patient have gained considerable attention in the medical and health care literature. Addressed are management strategies which focus specifically on cognitive-behavioral, psychosocial, and pharmacologic approaches to treating the oncology pain patient. Each strategy possesses unique qualities that can benefit the care and management of the cancer patient and provide a better understanding of the disease entity and the patient's ability to develop coping strategies that may be effective in understanding and confronting pain associated with cancer.

Family mediation: clinical strategies in mediating child custody.

Family medicine has only begun to explore the extent of its contribution to the process of family mediation--the clinical application of conflict resolution theory to the divorce process. This article reviews the literature on the impact of separation and divorce on families and recommends the use of family mediation as a clinical strategy to sensitize parents to the needs of the children during the divorcing process. Goals of family mediation include the assurance that the children have frequent and continuing contact with natural parents to the extent that this is to the benefit of the child. A specific model of family mediation is presented and the role of family physicians in the mediation is explored.
