Methodological note: corroboration of self-reported smoking status using significant other reports.
Significant other reports (SORs) are commonly used in smoking cessation studies to verify self-reports of smoking status. This report focuses on factors related to the smoker and significant other, which can affect self-reported classification of smoking status when using SORs. Data used in this analysis were collected from a cohort of 107 smokers who participated in a smoking cessation program. Participants were contacted at 1, 3, and 6 months after quitting to obtain self-reports of smoking status. SORs also were obtained at each assessment period. The highest discrepancy rate between self-report and SOR was observed among slippers, followed by relapsers, and abstainers, respectively. In addition, corroboration of smoking status was influenced by the social context in which the significant other was likely to see the smoker.

Self-report and medical record report agreement of selected medical conditions in the elderly.
This study assessed agreement between self- and medical record report of medical conditions in an elderly population. Medical charts of 120 participants in a screening program were abstracted, and the questionnaire report of eight major conditions was compared with the medical record. There was substantial or moderate agreement between self-report and medical record report for each condition, although strength of agreement varied by condition. Self-report by elderly individuals compares favorably with medical record report of medical conditions.

An expanded profile of cutaneous reactions to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Reports to a specialty-based system for spontaneous reporting of adverse reactions to drugs.
The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are widely used in the United States and are a frequent cause of cutaneous reactions. Since December 1980, dermatologists have reported 135 of these drug reactions to a specialty-based Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting System. Reactions to piroxicam were most frequently reported; the majority of reactions to this drug were vesiculobullous and occurred most often in sun-exposed areas. Other reactions to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs not previously recognized include serum sickness, exfoliative erythroderma, and photosensitivity associated with sulindac; toxic epidermal necrolysis was reported with tolmetin, zomepirac sodium, and piroxicam. Fixed drug eruptions were noted with ibuprofen and naproxen, and photosensitivity was reported with sulindac and indomethacin. These findings illustrate the usefulness of a specialty-based system for spontaneous reporting of new and serious adverse reactions to drugs.

A Second Report of a Missense Variant in AMMECR1 Causing Midface Hypoplasia, Hearing Impairment, Elliptocytosis, and Nephrocalcinosis: Case Report and Literature Review.
Pathogenic variants in AMMECR1 have been associated with a rare multisystem disorder characterized by midface hypoplasia, hearing impairment, elliptocytosis, and nephrocalcinosis (MFHIEN). To date, most reported cases involve copy number variants or presumed loss-of-function alterations, with only a single prior report describing a missense variant supported by functional studies. Here, we report a patient with a heterozygous de novo AMMECR1 missense variant, NM_015365.3:c.649G>A p.(Val217Met) presenting with clinical features consistent with MFHIEN, including midface hypoplasia, partial hearing impairment, nephrocalcinosis, and elliptocytosis identified on peripheral blood smear. Comparative review of the literature highlights that while previously reported missense variants in AMMECR1 demonstrated altered intranuclear protein distribution and reduced expression in functional assays, clinical evidence supporting pathogenicity of non-truncating variants remains limited. The phenotypic overlap between our patient and prior report strengthens the association between missense variations and the MFHIEN phenotype. Our findings support the pathogenic relevance of missense variation in AMMECR1 and emphasize the importance of integrating detailed phenotyping, including hematologic evaluation, with genomic data in the diagnosis of rare multisystem disorders. Additional cases and functional studies are needed to clarify genotype-phenotype correlations and underlying disease mechanisms.

Agreement of self-reported ovarian number following gynecologic surgery with medical record reports.
In case-control studies of breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis, a woman's ovarian function may be considered as a main exposure, confounding factor, or effect modifier. To evaluate the agreement between self-reported ovarian number following ovarian surgery for nonmalignant disease and medical record reports, we analyzed data from a population-based case-control study, the Cancer and Steroid Hormone Study. Reports on ovarian number after the most recent surgery for a who had been diagnosed with breast cancer and 496 control subjects. We then calculated agreement rates by comparing the number of ovaries indicated by the medical record with the number reported by the woman. Agreement rates on the presence or absence of ovaries exceeded 90% for both case and control subjects. Agreement rates on exact ovarian number exceeded 84% for both groups. Women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer had slightly higher agreement rates than did control women for both presence or absence of ovaries and exact ovarian number. Our data suggest that investigators can rely on self-reported ovarian number as an accurate measure of actual ovarian number in women who have had surgery for nonmalignant conditions.

Effect of the revised AIDS case definition on AIDS reporting in San Francisco: evidence of increased reporting in intravenous drug users.
To examine the effect of the revision of the US national AIDS case definition in September 1987, we compared demographic and clinical information for AIDS patients diagnosed and reported to the San Francisco Department of Public Health between 1 September 1987 and 31 October 1989. Of the 3167 patients diagnosed and reported during the study period, 584 (18%) met the revised case definition only, increasing AIDS case reporting in San Francisco by 23%. One hundred and thirty-four of these 584 patients (23%) subsequently developed diagnoses meeting the old definition. After adjusting for this proportion, the revised case definition increased reporting by 17%. The mean time between initial diagnosis with a disease meeting the revised definition and subsequent development of a disease meeting the old definition was 18.5 months. Patients who met the revised case definition only were slightly older and more likely to be Black, female, and intravenous drug users (IVDUs) than those meeting the old case definition. The majority of patients who met the revised case definition only had initial diagnoses of HIV wasting syndrome (26%), HIV encephalopathy (21%), and presumptive Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (19%). The revised AIDS case definition has significantly increased the reporting of severe morbidity associated with HIV infection, particularly among IVDUs.

Computerized radiographic reporting in a community hospital: a consumer's report.
This report analyzes a 30 month experience with a commerically available mark sense form-based automated radiographic reporting system (RAPORT) in the diagnostic radiology department of a 400 bed general hospital. By using the system, five radiologists were able to completely formulate readable diagnostic radiology reports in 65% of all cases, thereby bypassing a transcriptionist and decreasing report turnaround time dramatically without sacrificing reporting time. Moreover, billing and statistical capabilities provided by the system were found to capture enough lost charges to pay for its entire cost. Trade-offs for these efficiencies included learning of a new code by the radiologist, certain changes in his reading habits, and acceptance of a limited, repetitive, and somewhat stilted jargon both by the radiologist and the referring physician.

Interinstitutional assessment of colorectal carcinoma surgical pathology report adequacy. A College of American Pathologists Q-Probes study of practice patterns from 532 laboratories and 15,940 reports.
In 1991, the College of American Pathologist's Q-Probes Quality Improvement Program evaluated practices in 532 institutions for pathologic information provided in surgical pathology reports of 15,940 resected primary colorectal carcinomas. Participating institutions studied their last 30 completed cases and were from the United States (98%), Canada (1.5%), and Australia (0.4%). The influence of various institutional differences and other practice patterns were analyzed to determine factors associated with an increased institutional likelihood of providing information on pathology reports. The one practice significantly associated with increased likelihood of providing complete oncologic pathology information on eight of 11 gross and microscopic information items surveyed was the use of a standard report form or checklist. Other institutional differences bearing inconsistent associations included teaching institution status, presence of pathology residency, use of microscopic descriptions, institution bedsize category, and performance of DNA ploidy analysis. The development and adoption of a standardized report form or checklist for each case is a simple but effective means to assure report adequacy and consistent communication of oncologic pathology information. In conjunction with accompanying criteria for its accurate use, this process can be considered a practice guideline or practice parameter that can be extended to the surgical pathology examination of all resected malignant neoplasms.

Suggested standards for reports dealing with lower extremity ischemia. Prepared by the Ad Hoc Committee on Reporting Standards, Society for Vascular Surgery/North American Chapter, International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery.
Reports in the vascular surgery literature are often difficult to assess and compare with each other because of poorly defined terms, imprecise categorization, lack of indices for gauging the severity of the disease or the presence of risk factors capable of affecting outcome, and varying criteria for success or failure--in essence, a lack of standardized reporting practices. The joint councils of the Society for Vascular Surgery and the North American Chapter of the International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery have appointed an ad hoc committee to deal with this problem. This report represents the recommendations of the first of its several subcommittees, that is, the one dealing with reports on lower extremity ischemia. Certain terms are defined and criteria offered for uniformly gauging the severity of disease, the findings of diagnostic studies, the types of therapeutic interventions, and the outcome of such treatments. Although future modifications may further improve on this effort, it is hoped that this committee's recommendations will help establish reporting standards for articles dealing with lower extremity ischemia.

Impact of Annual School Fitness Reports on Students' Cardiorespiratory Fitness: A Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial of Parental Reporting.
BACKGROUND: School-based physical fitness testing is an important population health monitoring tool and has the potential to improve student fitness performance. However, few studies exist on the impact of reporting student fitness to parents. METHODS: Using data from the Fit Study (2014-2017) from 12 California public schools, we used mixed-effects models to compare changes in cardiorespiratory fitness (estimated peak oxygen consumption, calculated from the 1-mile run) and strength (curl-ups and push-ups) over 1 and 2 years between students randomized to having their parents receive an annual fitness report (intervention, n = 1638 students) and control (n = 2070) in grades 5 to 8 (ages 10-15 y). The student sample was 47.9% female, 55.9% Hispanic, and 24.1% Asian. RESULTS: After 1 year, intervention students did not demonstrate differential change compared with control students in estimated peak oxygen consumption (between-group change: -0.03 mL/kg/min; 95% CI, -.367 to 0.302), curl-ups (between-group change: 1.2 curl-ups; 95% CI, -0.306 to 2.660), or push-ups (between-group change: 0.1 push-ups; 95% CI, -0.672 to 0.787). Similarly, no differences were seen after 2 years. CONCLUSION: Sending a 2-page, once-a-year school-based fitness report home to parents-in the absence of environmental changes and/or behavioral coaching and support-does not impact student fitness performance after either 1 or 2 years of reporting.

[A report of two cases of multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma: review of 51 cases reported and the results of a prognostic survey].
We report 2 cases of multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma. One was in a 33-year-old male, presenting with ultrasonic abnormality of the left kidney at an annual employee health care examination. Computerized tomography (CT) demonstrated a 5 cm of multilocular cystic mass adjacent to the lower pole of the left kidney. Another was in a 44-year-old male, presenting with microscopic hematuria at an annual employee health care examination. CT of the abdomen revealed a 6.5 cm of multilocular cystic mass on the upper pole of the right kidney. Both were diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma by the angiography and underwent radical nephrectomy. Gross specimens showed typical multilocular cystic appearance and histopathology showed clear cell carcinoma infiltrating septa and replacing epithelium of the cyst walls. Both patients are alive without evidence of disease at, 21 months and 14 months after operation, respectively. Including our cases, 51 multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma and multilocular cystic nephroma associated with renal cell carcinoma have been reported. From the review of the literatures and the answer of the questionnaires inquiring about the outcome of the patient to Japanese reporters, the outcome of 38 patients was ascertained. The 10-year survival rates and non-recurrence rate after operation calculated by the Kaphan-Meier formula were 97.3% and 90.3%, respectively. Because of the good prognosis of reported cases, we concluded that we should choose kidney-sparing surgery for the operation of multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma.

[A case report of corrected transposition of the great arteries without any associated defects in a 36-year-old man and the review of adult cases reported in Japan].
We report a case in a 36-year-old man of corrected transposion of the great arteries (CTGA) without any associated defects. We also review clinical characteristics and later complications of adult CTGA cases reported in Japan. The patients was referred to our hospital for further examination of the abnormal ECG found during regular medical check-up. His ECG showed left axis deviation, first degree AV block, abnormal Q waves in the left precordial leads, and disappearance of septal q waves in the left precordial leads. His exercise capacity was found to be more than 12 METS by treadmill exercise testing. His roentgenogram revealed an egg-shaped ventricle with normal CTR (45%). The following findings were obtained by two-dimensional echocardiogram and heart catheterization: 1) the functional left ventricle had the characteristics of the anatomical right ventricle, 2) The positions of the left and right atrioventricular valves were reversed, 3) Other cardiac anomalies such as VSD, pulmonary stenosis, tricuspid regurgitation (TR) were not proved. Therefore, he was diagnosed as having CTGA without any cardiac defects (SLL type). At present, with ages more than 15 years, 36 cases of CTGA without cardiac anomalies have been reported in Japan including this case. But most cases had significant TR. This case was the 7th reported case without the accompaniment of TR. Among 36 cases, TR was found in 71%, complete AV block in 20%, and congestive heart failure was noted in 45%. Prognosis of CTGA without any defects is dependent on the appearance of TR, advanced AV block, and congestive heart failure. As these later fatal complications are observed very often, it is important to detect the patient of CTGA accurately.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

To report or not to report. Physicians' attitudes toward discipline and child abuse.
Interviews were conducted with 58 physicians to ascertain what factors influenced their reporting of child abuse. When physicians were presented with sample cases of injured children, factors that influenced their decision to report suspected abuse included their attitudes toward physical discipline, seriousness of the injury, presence of other injuries, their familiarity with the family, appropriate parental concern, compatibility of the history and physical examination findings, and the child's behavior. Results indicated that inappropriate discipline was usually not equated with reportable child abuse. Physicians believed that abuse is not often reported because of its low incidence in the private practice setting, the fear of losing patients, the need for certainty, and the lack of confidence in community agencies. These beliefs may conflict with the welfare of young patients.

Directional scanning or reporting preferences are not the cause of visual hemifield x report interactions.
Young, Bion and Ellis (1980) and Young and Bion (1981) suggested that findings of visual hemifield x report interactions in the naming of bilaterally presented line drawings reflect cerebral hemisphere differences in ability to effect the temporary storage needed when an identified drawing must be reported second. This interpretation has been questioned on the grounds that such a result could also arise from a preference for left to right over right to left scanning or reporting of stimuli. This directional preference account is shown to be untenable because when subjects fixate to one side of both members of horizontal pairs of drawings there is no sign of the (left or right) drawing position x report interaction that it predicts.
