An examination of the relationship between personality patterns and symptom/mood patterns.

Relationships between various personality styles measured by the basic and pathological personality scales of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) and mood or symptom states measured by the Profile of Mood State scales were examined. The MCMI personality scale-POMS symptom/mood scale relationships found in this study are compared with MCMI personality scale-MMPI and SCL-90 symptom/mood scale relationships reported in the MCMI manual. Consistent associations of moderate strength were found between: (a) the MCMI Compulsive-Conforming and Passive-Aggressive (Negativistic) scales (negative and positive associations, respectively) and various measures of depression, anxiety and hostility; (b) the MCMI Avoidant, Schizotypal and Borderline-Cycloid scales and various measures of depression and anxiety; (c) the MCMI Schizoid-Asocial scale and various measures of depression; and (d) the Histrionic-Gregarious scale and various measures of high energy-activity. These MCMI personality scale-symptom/mood scale relationships are generally consistent both with the underlying theory of personality and psychopathology upon which the MCMI is based and with the personality-symptom scale relationships found within the MCMI.

[Analysis of the mortality patterns in an area supplying migratory tunnel workers 1. Regional differences in the mortality patterns].

Tunnel work, digging a tunnel at the face, is a highly specialized job today. Many tunnel workers migrate from one place to another away from home throughout the year. They are exposed to hazardous factors such as dust, vibration, noise and so on, working under the two 12-hour shift system. Recently it has been reported that many workers who had suffered from pneumoconiosis and/or vibration disease returned to their home areas. The southern part of Oita Prefecture is well known as being one of the areas which supply many tunnel workers. In order to study the long-term effects of tunnel work on the health of the tunnel workers, the authors compared the mortality rate in the district supplying many tunnel workers with that of the district supplying few workers. Nine causes of death were chosen among many as indices indicating the characteristics of the structure of mortality in the district supplying many tunnel workers. The authors estimated these causes of death in relation to sex and age, analyzing simple correlations between the 9 causes of death and 33 socioeconomic factors. A principal component analysis of these indices was also carried out. The results were as follows. A close relationship was found between tunnel work and three causes of death such as silicotuberculosis (010), tuberculosis (010-019, A 6), and infective and parasitic diseases (000-136). The other 5 causes of death such as diseases of the digestive system (520-577), neoplasms (014-259), all causes (000-999), stomach cancer (151, A 47) and pneumoconiosis (515) were related not only to tunnel work but also to other regional characteristics such as fishery workers rate. No relationship was found between tunnel work and death by cerebrovascular disease (430-438, A 85). These results show that the tunnel work has an influence on the structure of mortality in the area supplying these workers.

Growth patterns of Angus, Hereford and shorthorn cattle. I. Comparison of inbred and noninbred lines, changes in patterns over time and effects of level of inbreeding and reproductive performance.

Mature weight (A) and rate of maturing (K) were estimated for 283 Angus, 140 Hereford and 280 Shorthorn cows utilizing the asymptotic regression equation Yt=A(1-Be-Kt). The Yt was weight of the individual at age t; and B was an estimate related to early life weight changes and provided for a Y-intercept (A-B). Each breed consisted of four inbred and two noninbred lines. Regression of estimated growth curve parameters on levels of inbreeding of the individuals and of their dams and effects of early reproductive performance (EREPRO) were studied as sources of variation in addition to line differences and trends in line values over years. Considered jointly with inbreeding of the dam and with EREPRO, inbreeding of the individual was negatively related (P less than .01) to estimates of A in the three breeds and unrelated (P greater than .10) to estimates of K. Each 1% increase in inbreeding of the individual was associated with about 2 kg decrease in estimated mature weight. An increase in inbreeding of the dam of an individual was negatively related to estimates of K in Angus (P less than .01) and Shorthorns (P less than .05). Inbreeding of dams was positively related to estimates of A in the three breeds, but only in Shorthorns could the relationship be declared significant. Estimates of A were about 46 kg heavier and estimates of K about .010 less for each year an individual failed to produce a calf during her first three opportunities. In general, A values declined in all three breeds during the study. Significant changes were observed in all Hereford analyses and after inbreeding was included in the Angus analysis, while inclusion of inbreeding in the Shorthorn analysis caused the change to become unimportant. The K values increased in all three breeds during the study; however, the change could be declared significant only in Herefords.

Growth patterns of Angus, Hereford and shorthorn cattle. II. Relationship of growth patterns of dams with progeny performance.

Relationships between estimated growth curve parameters of dams and performance traits of their progeny were studied in Angus, Hereford and Shorthorn herds, each divided into four inbred and two noninbred lines. Growth curve parameters were calculated from the growth function Yt=A(1-Be-Kt), where Yt was weight at age t, A was estimated mature weight, B was an estimate related to early life weight changes and provided for a Y-intercept term and K was estimated general rate of maturing. Least-squares analyses of progeny variables were calculated separately for each breed and sex. Line differences did not influence any of the progeny variables except weaning type score of Shorthorn males (P less than .01). Birth year exerted a curvilinear effect on birth weights of Angus female progeny (P less than .01), a linear influence on 205-d weights of Shorthorn male progeny (P less than .05) and a curvilinear effect on weaning type scores of Angus and Shorthorn male progeny (P less than .01). Regression coefficients on weaning age indicated that calves born earlier in the calving season had lighter birth weights and that older calves at weaning received higher type scores. Inbreeding of the progeny negatively influenced (P less than .05) birth weights of Angus male and Hereford female progeny. Hereford male and Shorthorn female 205-d weights were negatively affected (P less than .05) by inbreeding, while weaning type scores of Shorthorn female progeny were negatively influenced (P less than .001) by inbreeding. Regression coefficients of all progeny variables on inbreeding in all analyses indicated negative trends.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

When patterns are broken, new patterns emerge. A story of community collaboration for health.

The Bridge Community Health Clinic (BCHC) is the result of a multifaceted community effort that persevered though seven years of analysis and planning to achieve a community health center that met the entire community need. An influx of Southeast Asian emigrants who held different beliefs regarding medical care showed how the established health system was not meeting the needs of the changing population. This article describes how the Wausau community came together with the help of health care businesses and formed BCHC, promoting community health.
