Reply to Fudin's comments on Hudesman, Page, and Rautianen's experiment on the use of subliminal psychodynamic activation to enhance mathematics learning.

Fudin in 1993 raises a number of methodological concerns that he believes limit the generalizability of the 1992 results obtained by Hudesman, Page, and Rautianen. We believe that the conclusions presented are appropriate to the procedures and results.

Reply to Fudin's (1993B) comments on Hudesman and Page's response to Fudin's (1993A) comments on Hudesman, Page, and Rautiainen's subliminal psychodynamic activation experiment.

Fudin (1993b) raises two methodological concerns that he believes limit the usefulness of the results obtained by Hudesman, Page, and Rautiainen (1992). We have again attempted to address Fudin's concern. The authors believe that the conclusions presented are appropriate to the procedure and results.

Use of subliminal stimulation to enhance learning mathematics.

24 students, who participated in a summer session mathematics enrichment program, viewed subliminally presented messages. Prior to each class, the experimental group of 16 viewed a subliminally presented psychoanalytic merging message and the control group of 8 viewed a neutral message. After 20 sessions students were retested. Experimental students had higher mathematics scores than controls. These data are compared with results obtained by other investigators.

Acromegaly and gastrointestinal cancer.

A cohort of 1041 men who were discharged from the hospital with a diagnosis of acromegaly were examined for subsequent cancer. With a mean follow-up time of 8.3 years, an increased rate of cancers of the digestive organs was observed (27 cases; standard incidence ratio [SIR], 2.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3 to 2.9). Rates were elevated for cancers of the esophagus (7 cases; SIR, 3.1), stomach (4 cases; SIR, 2.5), and colon (13 cases; SIR, 3.1). The increased risk of colon cancer in acromegaly is consistent with previous clinical reports and suggests opportunities for etiologic research and early cancer detection. It would seem prudent to also evaluate this risk in current research on the use of growth hormone in older individuals to increase muscle mass and reduce body fat.
