    Description / Table of Contents: Advances in medicine have led to the survival of critically ill patients who would previously have died. The physiological response of patients to critical illness is becoming more clearly defined and this book aims to describe the current state of knowledge of the endocrine aspects of that response. The opening chapter with a careful consideration of carbohydrate metabolism, discusses the changes seen in peripheral glucose uptake and hepatic glucose output in illness. In the next chapter body fluids, solutes, osmolality, the role of the kidneys, thirst and its regulation are considered. Chapter three details work which suggests that there is hypersecretion of parathyroid hormone from an early stage of illness, amongst other topics. Characteristic changes seen in thyroid hormone concentrations during illness and the underlying pathophysiological processes are mentioned in chapter four. With further chapters on the Pituitary Gonadal Axis, The Neuroendocrine Regulation of GH Secretion and GH/IGF-1 as Anabolic Therapy this book provides an overview of the current state of knowledge of endocrine and metabolic function in acute illness. This book will be of interest to physicians, anaesthetists and endocrinologists involved in the care of patients with critical illness

    HIV Risk Behavior Patterns Among Young Thai Men (1999)
    Springer
    Aids and behavior 3 (1999), S. 335-346 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-3254
    Keywords: Thailand ; HIV risk behavior ; commercial sex ; injection drug use

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract Correlates of behavior associated with HIV exposure risk were evaluated in cross-sectional data from 3,839 Royal Thai Army (RTA) recruits whose birthplaces and residences were located away from Thailand's main HIV epicenter. Participants were generally 21 years old, unmarried, educated at the primary school level, and previously had been engaged in agriculture or unskilled labor. HIV prevalence in the sample was 1.8%. Condom use with commercial sex workers (CSW) was less than universal, and a small subset of men emerged who had multiple categories of partners. Nonetheless, CSW patronage appeared lower than in early studies in the Thai epicenter of the Upper North, and the venues patronized generally were not low-cost, high-turnover brothels. Sexual experience with girlfriends was more frequent than CSW experience, and the rate of condom use with girlfriends was relatively low. Lifetime injection drug use (IDU) was reported by 4.1% of the total sample and was associated with recent urban residence, CSW patronage, and sexual precocity. Findings suggest gaps in Thailand's condom campaign and the need to better address HIV risk associated with having multiple partners.

    Cognitive distraction and relaxation training for the control of side effects due to cancer chemotherapy (1993)
    Springer
    Journal of behavioral medicine 16 (1993), S. 65-80

    ISSN: 1573-3521

    Topics: Medicine , Psychology
    Notes: Abstract Sixty cancer chemotherapy patients were randomly assigned to one of six conditions formed by a 3(cognitive distraction, relaxation training, no intervention)×2(high anxiety, low anxiety) factorial design. All patients were followed for five consecutive chemotherapy sessions. Outcome measures included patient reports, nurse observations, and physiological indices. Results indicated that distraction patients reported less nausea prior to chemotherapy and lower systolic blood pressures after chemotherapy than controls. Relaxation training patients reported less nausea prior to chemotherapy and exhibited lower systolic and diastolic blood pressures after chemotherapy than control patients. There were no significant differences between distraction and relaxation training patients on any measure. Patients with high initial levels of anxiety exhibited continually elevated levels of distress throughout the chemotherapy experience; however, anxiety level did not interact with the effectiveness of the treatment interventions. Overall, the data support the use of both cognitive distraction and relaxation training for reducing the distress of chemotherapy with both high and low-anxiety patients and suggest that at least some of the effects of relaxation training can be achieved with distraction alone.

    Special characteristics of retarded children rated as severely hyperactive (1971)
    Springer
    Child psychiatry & human development 2 (1971), S. 26-31 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-3327
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary Ninety-four pairs of retarded children, in one of whom hyperactivity was rated as no problem and in the other as a severe problem, were matched for age and year of examination. The findings indicated a higher incidence of central nervous system damage and/or dysfunction in the hyperactive children than in those who were not hyperactive. Of six cases of hemiplegia, all were in the hyperactive group as were seven of eight cases of diplegia. A significantly larger portion of the hyperactive group had a history of convulsive seizures, and significantly more had a residual speech defect. The hyperactive children had lower social quotients than those not hyperactive, and a greater number of them were not yet completely toilet trained for both bowel and bladder control. The hyperactive children showed a significantly higher incidence of destructiveness, of withdrawal, of assaultiveness, and of overanxiousness and fearfulness than those not hyperactive. Possible relations of these behaviors were discussed. Severe hyperactivity affects quite unfavorably the prognosis for the behavioral adjustment of a retarded child.
