A revised checklist of the mosquitoes of Guatemala including a new country record, Psorophora cyanescens.

A newly erected genus, Isostomyia, a recently described subgenus, Phenacomyia, of Culex, and 15 species have been added to the mosquito fauna of Guatemala since the last checklist was published by Clark-Gil and Darsie (1983); therefore a revised list is included. One of the additions is Psorophora cyanescens, a new country record for Guatemala. Its presence in Mexico and Central America is reviewed.

A checklist for suitability of biomarkers as surrogate endpoints in chemoprevention of breast cancer.

By reference to a "checklist" of requirements for substances or processes to qualify as surrogate endpoint biomarkers, both malignin and antimalignin antibody are found to be suitable for use in breast cancer chemoprevention trials. Antimalignin has been shown to be highly specific and sensitive, modulatable and reversible, detectable early in appearance of malignancy and upon recovery therefrom, and differentially expressed in high-risk individuals as compared with the general population.

[Reliability and factorial validity of the Child Behavior Checklist--an analysis of a clinical and field sample].

The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability (internal consistency), the correlations of the scale scores and the factorial validity of the German version of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). The analyses were performed in a sample of patients at two child and adolescent psychiatric facilities (N = 1653) and in a community sample (N = 1622). The analyses were based on the 1991 American version of the CBCL. The internal consistency of most of the scales was good to excellent (rtt > .80). The reliability of the scales "Withdrawn", "Somatic complaints" and "Social Problems" was not completely satisfactory (rtt > .70). The reliability of the syndrome scales "Thought Problems" and "Sex Problems" and the Competence Scales was unsatisfactory (rtt < .70). The internal consistency of the syndrome scales in the German and American samples was very similar. The correlations between the scales were predominantly in the lower range, with some in a medium range (rtt > .50). Factor analyses in the clinical sample confirmed that the syndrome scales had been well-designed. With the exception of the scales "Social Problems" and "Withdrawn", where the items have loadings on a common factor, the scales proved to be factorially valid.

A comparison of psychologic functioning in children and adolescents with severe burns on the Rorschach and the Child Behavior Checklist.

The incidence of psychologic problems in 12 children and adolescents with severe burns was examined through four similar scales on the Children's Behavior Checklist and the Rorschach. No correlations were found for any of the pairs, which were Withdrawn-Isolation Index, Somatic Complaints-Anatomy + X-ray, Anxious/Depressed-Depression Index, and Thought Disorder-Schizophrenic Index. Discrepancies were explained as both accurate reflections of patients' personalities and function of the type of assessment instrument used to determine psychologic problems. Although the statistical power of the study is limited by the small sample size, the results suggest the lack of good objective psychologic assessment tools available to this population and the need for experienced professionals to interpret test results in light of their personal knowledge of the patient.

Israeli norms for the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist: comparison of clinically-referred and non-referred children.

This paper presents the Israeli norms for the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist. Questionnaire data were collected on a clinically-referred sample (N = 2227) and a non-referred sample (N = 1275) of children between the ages of 4-16. Basic descriptive data for total behavior scores and scores for broad-band and narrow-band syndromes by sex, age group, and clinical status are presented. The mean total behavior score in the non-referred sample is similar to that reported for American and Dutch samples. For the Israeli referred sample, the mean total behavior score was considerably lower than that reported for the American and Dutch samples. Issues involved in selecting an optimal cutoff point to discriminate between clinically-referred and non-referred populations are discussed.

[Reliability of the Child Behavior Checklist in a population of 6 to 8-year-old special education students].

66 children attending first grade at a special school for educationally subnormal children were examined medically and psychologically. Classification was done according to ICD-10. In addition, the parents were asked to rate their children's behavior with the "Child Behavior Checklist" by Achenbach and Edelbrock. The most common symptoms rated in this group of 6- to 8-year-old children were lack of concentration, speech and language problems, hyperactivity, demand for attention and arguing. The mean total score (cut-off score: 30) and the number of crucial items (cut-off score: at least two crucial items) differed significantly between the children with and those without psychiatric disorders. No significant correlation was found between the mean total score or the number of crucial items and the sex of the children or the other axes of the Multi-axial Classification of Child Psychiatric Disorders.

A Spanish translation of the Revised Behavior Problem Checklist.

As part of a study on the mental health needs of Hispanic children, behavioral assessments were obtained using the Revised Behavior Problem Checklist (RBPC). Although a Spanish translation was available, it had been designed for a primarily Cuban population. Because the population under study was approximately 80% Puerto Rican, 15% Mexican, and 5% Dominican Republican, a new Spanish version was developed. It is suggested that future researchers be sensitive to the differences in vocabulary among Hispanic subcultures.

The Aberrant Behavior Checklist-Community: factor validity and effect of subject variables for adults in group homes.

The factor validity of the new Aberrant Behavior Checklist-Community (ABC-C) was determined with 1,040 group home residents. Exploratory factor analysis indicated that the factor structure derived from the original ABC appears to be valid for the ABC-C when used with this population. Coefficients of congruence showed a high level of concordance with the original factor structure, and internal consistency continued to be high for each of the five subscales. Analyses for the effects of age, gender, and level of mental retardation indicated that some correction is appropriate for each of these variables when scoring the ABC-C. Further analyses explored the effects of subjects variables such as visual and auditory handicaps and the presence of epilepsy or Down syndrome. Psychotropic medication use was often associated with subscale score differences. The original ABC factor structure appears valid for scoring the ABC-C with community-based adults, at least those living in group homes.

Convergent validity of select scales of the MMPI and the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist-Youth Self-report.

The convergent validity of select clinical scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist-Youth Self-report was evaluated in a sample of 188 adolescent psychiatric inpatients. Clinical scales of the MMPI (Scales 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, and 0) and of the Youth Self-report subscales of Somatic Complaints, Depressed, Aggressive, Delinquent, Thought Disorder, and Unpopular were selected for comparison based on their conceptual similarity. The extent to which scores for self-reported behavior on the Youth Self-report converged with scores on related clinical scales of the MMPI was evaluated by correlations and multiple regression. Concurrent validity for most comparisons between similar scales of the two measures was indicated and support the validity of the Youth Self-report as a self-report measure with an heterogeneous clinical sample of adolescents. The results establish a clear link between self-reported behaviors on the Youth Self-report and scores obtained on the select MMPI clinical scales which would conceptually be associated with those behaviors.

[Mosquito fauna (Diptera:Culicidae) from Falcon State, Venezuela. I. New records and current checklist].

A total of 16 new species records of Culicidae from Falcon State was collected at the "Juan Crisostomo Falcon National Park" (Sierra de San Luis), Natural Monument "Cerro Santa Ana", Coro, and La Vela. Species of Sabethini, Culicini and Toxorhynchitini Tribes were found in natural breeding sites (Phytotelmata), with special occurrence in plants belonging to Tillandsia, Vriesea, Guzmania, Aechmea (Bromelianceae), Heliconia (Heliconiaceae), Calathea (Marantaceae) and Colocasia (Araceae). Aedini and Mansonini were collected only as adults. A specie of Culex (Carrollia) was collected from an artificial container. The Culicidae species belong to 6 genera out of the 23 genera reported from Venezuela (Culex, Wyeomyia, Johnbelkinia, Aedes, Psorophora, Mansonia and Coquillettidia) and to 5 Tribes out of the 9 present in the country. The Aedini, Sabethini and Culicini Tribes were richer in species with 5, 4 and 4 species, respectively, than the Mansonini (2 species) and Toxorhynchitini (1 species) Tribes. We discuss some bioecological aspects regarding the 16 new-species records in Falcon State and give a checklist of the mosquito species previously reported in the literature.

Protocol for the examination of specimens from patients with carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater: a basis for checklists. Cancer Committee, College of American Pathologists.

A protocol for the pathologic examination and reporting of specimens from patients with carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater has been developed by the Cancer Committee of the College of American Pathologists. The protocol incorporates all basic pathology data of diagnostic and prognostic significance appropriate for the treatment of patients with ampullary carcinoma. The purposes of the protocol are to serve as a basis for the development of checklists, as an outline for full narrative reporting, as a basis for research protocols, or as a guide for other types of synoptic or reporting formats. The protocol is stratified to accommodate the surgical procedures usually employed for carcinomas of the ampulla of Vater, including acquisition of cytologic specimens, incisional biopsy, excisional biopsy, and Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy, partial or complete, with or without partial gastrectomy). Explanatory notes detailing specific procedures and rationales for documentation of specific pathologic data are included in the protocol. The protocol uses the staging system for carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater defined by the American Joint Committee on Cancer and the International Union Against Cancer.

Updated protocol for the examination of specimens removed from patients with colorectal carcinoma. A basis for checklists.

The Cancer Committee of the College of American Pathologists has updated and expanded their protocol for the pathologic examination and reporting of specimens from patients with colorectal carcinoma, which was originally developed in 1989. The updated protocol incorporates all basic pathology data of diagnostic and prognostic significance appropriate for the treatment of patients with colorectal carcinoma. The purpose of the protocol is to serve as a basis for the development of checklists, as an outline for full narrative reporting, as a basis for research protocols, or as a guide for other types of synoptic or reporting formats. The protocol is stratified to accommodate the surgical procedures usually employed for colorectal carcinomas, including incisional endoscopic biopsy, polypectomy, local excision (transanal disc excision), and colon/colorectal resection (eg, segmental resection, total colectomy, abdominoperoneal resection). Explanatory notes detailing specific procedures and rationales for documentation of specific pathologic data are included in the protocol. The protocol uses the recently revised TNM staging system for colorectal carcinoma defined by the American Joint Committee on Cancer and the International Union Against Cancer.

[The Duke Severity of Illness Checklist].

Developed at the Duke University Medical Center of Durham, North Carolina, U.S.A., the Duke Severity of Illness Checklist (DUSOI) is a tool for measuring a person's illness severity. The instrument comprises four parameters of a health problem, e.g. in a given diagnosis, namely: symptoms, complications, 6-months prognosis without treatment, treatment potential. Using the numerical ratings (from 0 to 4) for each parameter of every diagnosis, the following three types of severity score (from 0 [lowest degree of severity] to 100 [highest degree of severity]) can be calculated: (1) the DUSOI diagnosis score for each diagnosis stated, (2) the DUSOI overall score for the set of all health problems stated for a patient, and (3) the DUSOI comorbidity score, i.e., all problems except for any one problem of principal interest. The DUSOI is suitable for patients from the entire chain of medical and rehabilitative care, although it had initially been developed for the ambulatory sector. Completing the DUSOI form is very economical in terms of time needed, and is recommended to be done by the physician in charge immediately following the patient's visit. Alternatively, the form could also be filled in by a reviewer on the basis of the patient's medical record. A certain level of judgement is required on the part of the physician or reviewer carrying out the DUSOI assessments.
