Pediatricians' perceptions of the effectiveness of early invention for at-risk and handicapped children.

To evaluate pediatricians' perceptions of the effectiveness of early intervention for handicapped and at-risk children, all board-certified pediatricians in the state of Ohio were surveyed. A detailed questionnaire was developed which included the use of brief but specific cases identifying eight different children with documented handicaps and two cases of children at developmental risk. Overall, the results indicated that pediatricians judged early intervention to produce at least a modest effect on children's general development and function. A more optimistic perspective was held for families in that involvement in early intervention was viewed as improving substantially the ability of families to cope with the problems of a handicapped or at-risk child and to provide a supportive and stimulating environment. However, perceptions of effectiveness did vary for specific disability and at-risk groups. The correspondence between perceived effectiveness and existing research findings also was discussed.

The New Zealand accreditation programme: not "re-inventing the wheel".

In some nine months, a remarkable development has occurred in New Zealand. During this period, a pilot Accreditation Programme has been established, four hospitals have been selected and their staff introduced to the programme and a co-ordinating framework has been developed. The ACHS has and will be supportive of these and subsequent developments. The ACHS expects to gain valuable information from this well-formulated pilot project.

William Harvey, 1. That incomparable invention of Dr. Harvey's.

Harvey's discovery of the circulation had its roots far back in his early studies in medicine at the University of Padua where he was a pupil of the famed anatomist Fabricius, who was very interested in the valves of the veins. The difference between his teacher and Harvey was Harvey's dedication to the modern concept "scientific method". Other influences on his findings included the earlier work of Erasistratus and Galen. Harvey, after a long period of experimentation, published his findings on the circulation of the blood in his famous treatise De Motu Cordis in 1628. It is noteworthy that Harvey as a clinical practitioner failed thereafter to apply his discoveries to his work as a physician. The first of two articles on Harvey, this is concerned with his work as a scientist and discoverer. The second article is devoted to his work as a medical doctor.
