The influence of cultural heritage on the health status of Puerto Ricans. The problems of poor health among Puerto Ricans today are compounded by their cultural traditions. Many Puerto Ricans still rely on folk medicine to cure their ills. One study by Suchman found that compared with persons of other ethnic groups in New York City, the Puerto Ricans are more suspicious of scientific medical care, tend to use general health services less, have more limited health horizons than any other ethnic group. Aside from the unsophisticated health practices stemming from a knowledge of Puerto Rican folk medicine, the cultural phenomena of spiritualism plays a significant role in retarding the health status of the Puerto Rican. Puerto Ricans who view illness as possession by evil spirits will consult a medium or curandero(a) for treatment instead a physician. The hot and cold theory of disease has a profound influence on the Puerto Ricans' health status. In the attempt to achieve equilibrium of the four body humors, Puerto Ricans will often disregard a physician's advice which does not conform to this theory. Also, machismo, the concept of male dominance and superiority leads to sexual promiscuity, over-population, venereal disease, family breakdown, early marriage, and a variety of health related problems.

The movement of an unemulsified oil test meal and aqueous- and oil-phase markers through the intestine of normal and bile-diverted rats. An unemulsified oil test meal containing aqueous- and oil-phase markers (PEG and 3-H labelled triether) was fed to control and bile fustula rats. PEG moved ahead of the lipid phase in all groups, and was of limited value as a marker for the test meal. Triether was an excellent marker for studies of gastric emptying. An unexpectedly high correlation was seen between the triether and the test meal and its digestion products in the intestine. The results suggest that triether is a valid marker for following the movement of lipid through the bowel under the conditions of this study. Triether/fat ratios indicated that fat absorption occurred largely from the upper small bowel in control animals and from the lower small bowel in the absence of bile. Bile diversion resulted in more rapid gastric emptying initially, but very slow gastric emptying of the last part of the oil test meal. Intestinal transit of test meal or either marker was not significantly affected by bile diversion. No evidence for a direct effect of bile diversion on gastrointestinal motility was found.


Separation of the placenta in the ewe: an ultrastructural study. Placental separation in the ewe appears to involve an explosive degeneration of the chorionic epithelium which occurs in the short space of time between parturition and the delivery of the fetal membranes. In the goat there is a similar mechanism of separation. By contrast separation of the placenta in the cow appears to depend upon a detachment at the junctional region between fetal and maternal epithelia. There is no obvious explanation for these findings. The results are discussed in the light of the placental hormonal environment in the period which immediately precedes parturition.

The mental health of students--do teachers hurt or help? Students' problems of adjustment are serious, and merit attention. Teachers who are so inclined could help prevent many emotional problems by applying some methods and attitudes of psychotherapists. It is appropriate for them to avoid such tactics, as threat, shame, and sympathy, and adopt such skills and attitudes as acceptance, empathy, genuineness, and relevancy.


Differences in mean adolescent blood pressure by age, sex ethnic origin, obesity and familial tendency. The researcher used the analysis of variance and the uncorrelated t-test to determine the significant differences between age, sex, obesity, race, and familial tendency in systolic and diastolic blood pressures for 496 randomly chosen adolescent subjects. Significance was found in the differences between the systolic blood pressure by sex, obesity and race. Mean values were presented for the systolic and diastolic blood pressure by sex, age, and ethnic origin.

Changes in students' knowledge and attitudes following a course in human sexuality: report of a pilot study. Eleven female undergraduate nursing students and 12 male undergraduates from a private southern university responded to a 163-item questionnaire, the Human Sexuality Knowledge and Attitude inventory, prior to and immediately following a formal course in human sexuality. The results of a pilot test indicated that improvement in respondents' total knowledge score (TOTSC) was correlated with completion of the course. No correlation existed between liberalization of attitudes toward sexuality and completion of the course. Demographic variables of age, sex, perception of self as "somewhat" or "slightly religious" and "somewhat liberal politically", and residence in small cities in the New England/Middle Atlantic area were significantly correlated with improvement of TOTSC. Demographic variables did not appear to affect liberalization of attitudes. The investigators concluded that the course is an effective model for assisting students to accumulate a knowledge base about sexuality. Although attitudinal change was not an immediate outcome of the course, perhaps this variable will change on a long-term basis.

Increasing the quality of nursing care by introducing the concept of primary nursing: a model project. To ascertain the extent and degree of skill with which nurses have carried out processes judged to represent good nursing care, two alternate approaches were tested to organize the delivery of nursing care to children: Nurses on an experimental unit were trained to use primary care, that is, assignment of six to eight patients to one nurse who was responsible for the planning, implementation, evaluation, and coordination of the nursing care until the patient's discharge. On a control unit, nurses participated in delivery of group care, so that the care of each patient was assigned to various nurses. Performance of the nursing care was measured by the Slater Nursing Competencies scale, the Quality Patient Care scale, and the Phaneuf Nursing Audit. Mean scores on the three instruments were found to be higher on the experimental unit.

Increasing nursing students' interest on working with aged patients. The Tuckman-Lorge Attitude questionnaire, which measures stereotypes and misconceptions about the aged, was administered to 311 baccalaureate nursing students who were also asked to indicate their relative preferences for various fields of specialization within nursing and their preferences for working with child, adult, and elderly patients. The study was designed to examine factors--a two-semester course in human development and aging, visits with a physically "well" older person living in the community, attitudes toward the aged, and several biographic factors--associated with increased interest in working with elderly patients. Findings included: Students showed minimal interest in working in nursing homes; they preferred to work with child and adult patients. The more stereotyped their thinking about the aged, the greater their interest in working with ederly patients. Students who previously worked in a nursing home or convalescent hospital showed greater willingness to work with elderly patients. The authors suggest that schools of nursing include gerontology in their curriculums and that nursing students be provided with clinical experience in institutions for the aged to acquaint them with, and to encourage interest in, this increasingly important field of specialization.


Effect of brief training on mental health knowledge and attitudes of nurses and nurses' aides in a general hospital. A six-week psychiatric nursing training program for professional nurses (N equals 15) and nurses' aides (N equals 14) in a stage general hospital setting resulted in significant improvement in both training groups on psychiatric nursing knowledge. No statistically significant change in mental health attitudes was found on the Opinions about Mental Illness (OMI) scale in the nurse group but a significant reduction in social restrictiveness was revealed in the nurses' aide group. No significant change in knowledge or attitudes was found in a matched control group of nurses' aides (N equals 14).


A role-playing simulation approach toward studying nurses' decisions to listen to patients. To test a methodology that used role-playing responses by nurses to simulated patient disclosures, a three-part investigation was carried out at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee. Four simulated patients-with diagnoses of diabetes mellitus, alcoholism with bleeding ulcer, ulcerative colitis, and cancer of the large intestine-tape recorded 20- to 30-second segments on 12 topics pertaining to their illness. Six topics dealt with the patients' physical problems; six with psychological aspects of the problems. In the tests for nurses' willingness both to listen and to pass along information to the next nurse, the 48 tape-recorded segments of patient information were played for 16 volunteer nurses in a laboratory set up for the purpose. Although the nurses had an option of listening or preparing a medication, they were expected to listen to at least 16 of the 48 segments. Following this, they were asked to tape record a report on the patient for the nurse who would follow them. The nurses, on average, listened to 29 of the 48 segments. The diabetic patient was listened to least; the cancer and the colitis patients each received a similar amounts of attention. The nurses gave substantial amounts of information as well as interpretive data about the patients so that the methodology seemed to prove that nurses could become sufficiently involved in a simulated patient setting.

Associate degree nursing students: nonintellective differences between dropouts and graduates. A comprehensive battery of tests designed primarily to measure nonintellective characteristics was administered to 112 students entering five associate degree nursing programs. At the end of two years, analyses of the entrance data revealed significant differences between the 73 graduates (those who completed the program on schedule) and the 32 nongraduates (those who dropped our of the program for various reasons). Seven students who remained in the programs but who had not completed the requirements were not included in the analyses. The data indicated that at the time of entry into their programs, those students who later completed the program on schedule were more mature--older and married, more achievement oriented, responsible, and self-controlled than dropouts. Successful students also manifested more accepting and nonjudgmental attitudes toward other people.

Team teaching: advantages and disadvantages to the student. To test an instrument for its ability to identify advantages and disadvantages of team teaching in baccalaureate nursing education, a questionnaire was given to 97 undergraduate nursing students from two colleges who had experienced similar team teaching experiences. Distinct advantages and disadvantages of team teaching were identified.

Why associate degree nursing students persist. A study of 120 associate degree nursing (ADN) students at Illinois Central College during 1972-1973 tested the hypothesis that there will be no statistically significant difference in certain measured personality factors of the persister compared with the dropout. The Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) was used to measure personality characteristics. The null hypothesis was rejected for four of the 15 variables measured by the EPPS. Significantly greater needs were achievement, deference, and heterosexuality for the persisters and abasement for the dropouts. Differences in needs may have resulted from two specific focuses of the ADN program: on the problem-solving process based on assessment of individual patient's needs and on team nursing which includes both the aspects of assuming responsibility for authority and accepting leadership. Through their greater need for abasement, the dropouts expressed a need for feelings of inferiority, guilt, blame, and inadequacy. Based on the academic prerequisites for admission to the ADN program, the dropouts should have succeeded. Therefore, it appeared the dropouts had a need to fail or withdraw from the program.

Development of an instrument to measure patient satisfaction with nurses and nursing care in primary care settings. An instrument that evaluated patient attitudes toward nurses and nursing care in a primary care setting is described. The tool consists of 25 items, subdivided into three subscales--1) technical-professional area, 2) interpersonal educational relationship, and 3) interpersonal trusting relationship--to which respondents indicate agreement to disagreement in five Likert-type steps. Items, developed from interviews with patients, literature review, and other similar scales, were submitted to two sequential trials and to application of criteria such as variability, representativeness of content definition, ability to discriminate between respondents, and internal consistency. Respondents for the two sequential trials were 78 and 60 patients of internists or general practitioners at a group health cooperative. Scott's homogeneity ratios and reliability coefficients as measured by Cronbach's alpha were obtained for the subscale and the total scale, and subscale intercorrelation coefficients were determined, but further testing of the scale for validity is needed.

Comparison of student achievement with performance ratings of graduates and state board examination scores. For a study concerned with investigating relationships between the on-the-job performance of 1971 graduates of a diploma school of nursing, their achievements as students in the school, and their state board scores, the school's curriculum objectives were used in developing an instrument for measuring graduates' competence. Findings indicated how well the learning experiences provided by the school prepared the students for first-level positions in nursing. The three-year cumulative grade point averages and nursing theory and grades were best predictors of success on state board examinations, and nursing practice grades were best predicators of performance as registered nurses.

Endocrine influences on pulmonary maturation and the lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio in the fetal baboon. By utilizing the baboon model system, preliminary data indicate that intra-amniotic dexamethasone caused an increase in the L/S ratio. Metopirone 11-betahydroxylase inhibition prevented the expected increase in the L/S ratio without influencing pulmonary distensibility, stability on deflation, or lung mince minimal surface tension. Infants born at term to Metopirone-treated baboons were free of pulmonary distress and survived to adolescence.

Psychological characteristics of the nurse practitioner. First, present research on the selection and characteristics of practitioners is both controversial and important. We need good answers to be helpful to those planning directions for the future of nursing. Second, we need good descriptive research indicating how applicants for different types of programs vary; how age, experience, and background factors affect the outcome of training. Third, we need multi-criteria for measuring success and effectiveness-criteria that will take into account both competence and commitment and will measure competence in a variety of ways. Fourth, we need more theory for what we are measuring and why we are measuring it. We need predictions from different personality and developmental theories. We need to contrast and combine these theoretical approaches, and we need more complex variables than we currently have. We need constructs and types rather than simple empiricism and single traits. Finally, we should not overlook the fact that the majority of nurse practitioners are women, and thus we are doing research on an interesting group at a significant time in women's history. If we are alert and responsive to what we learn about our subjects, we may also gain a deeper understanding of the lives of adult women and how they are affected by social change and changing times.

Needs of the grieving spouse in a hospital setting. In an attempt to determine whether the spouse whose mate is terminally ill or had died can recognize his own needs and whether he, himself, perceives that he has been helped by nurses, 27 spouses were interviewed during the terminal illness of their mates. Subsequently, 18 mates died; 14 of the spouses were interviewed after the death event. Data were collected by means of tape-recorded semistructured interviews, with the exception of one written second interview. Eight needs of grieving spouses were noted. Twenty-five spouses identified all eight needs and the other two spouses identified five and seven needs, respectively. The fact that the needs were identified did not mean, however, that these needs had been met. Spouses believed nurses had been helpful to the dying mates. The spouses recognized that the nurses' primary responsibility was to the patients and felt that nurses were too busy to help the families. The death event did not alter the identified needs and concerns of the spouses. Eighty-seven percent of the needs identified in the second interview had been identified in the first interview.

The meaning of mental health: a report of two ethnoscientific studies. The use of the ethnoscientific method in nursing research is demonstrated in an initial study and a replication of that study, utilizing male and female informants. The domain of "mental health" was explored, analyzed, and contrasted within the subculture of the central city resident and the subculture of the psychiatric-mental health professional. To facilitate an understanding of ethnoscience, the method is briefly outlined; then, to illustrate the methodology, data from one informat are presented in depth. A summary of the major similarities and contrasts that emerged from the data of both studies is presented. Implications for nursing of the research and ethnoscience are discussed.


Common cardiovascular problems in the postoperative period. In summary, it should be stated that there is a basic philosophic difference concerning the importance and the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias in postoperative patients when compared to patients with myocardial infarctions. In the latter group the etiology for the arrhythmia is assumed, and very frequently correctly. In the former group of patients, the postoperative group, the etiology of the arrhythmia is often covert and difficult to come by. In patients with myocardial infarction treatment frequently is stereotyped and the effect of therapy often predictable. In the postoperative patient with a cardiac arrhythmia, be it tachycardia or an irregular pulse, the treatment may be as varied as the cause. Thus the thrust of our endeavor in the postoperative patient should be directed primarily toward determining the cause of the arrhythmia and thereafter administering correct therapy based on a reasonable diagnosis.

Effect of timed hygienic measures on oral mucosa in a group of elderly subjects. A study was conducted to identify and compare the effect produced on oral mucosa by the application of oral hygiene by the use of either a toothette or a toothbrush at two-, three-, or four-hour intervals during an eight-hour period for ten days. The sample consisted of 48 geriatric patients randomly selected from an extended care facility. Two investigators were responsible for scoring nine dependent variables--salivation, tongue moisture, tongue color, moisture of palates, color of gingiva, condition of membranes, lip texture, lip moisture, and soft tooth debris-- twice daily. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Results of the study indicated significant improvement in six dependent variables in the four-hour interval groups. In the two-hour interval groups, two dependent variables were improved significantly. The toothbrush was more effective in stimulating gingival tissue and removing soft tooth debris; the toothette was found to be more effective in producing improvement in other oral tissues.


8-4 Research. Part 1: a stance for nursing research--tenacity or inquiry. In a two-part series, a/proprosal is presented for implementation research which integrates practical, technical, and political judgment. This implementation research--or 8-4 research--is contrasted with pseudo-technical research. In Part I it is proposed that nursing research should be assessed in terms of payoff for nursing rather than promise for nursing, that 8-j research is a suitable paradigm for all nursing research, and that nursing research is a suitable preoccupation for any and all nursing personnel. Part II (to appear in the May-June 1975 Nursing Research) develops eight points of encounter--as between 8-4 research and pseudotechnical research--pertinent to designing nursing research. A conception of design is proposed that displays an appropriate role for conation, drive, or intent in any designed research.


Application of selected nursing research findings into nursing practice: a pilot study. This study investigated the extent to which one research finding, obtained through a series of investigations and reported widely in the nursing literature, was being utilized by nurse practitioners for the improvement of nursing practice. Based on the research findings of Nichols and colleagues on the oral mode of temperature determination, a questionnaire was constructed and administered to 87 registered nurses in the states of Massachusetts and New York. Only one response corresponded to the findings of Nichols and colleagues on how oral temperature is correctly determined. Contradictions between theory and practice, moreover, were cited.

Problem-oriented recording as a teaching-learning tool. The assumption that problem-oriented records help teach critical thinking was tested by co-paring clinical recordings and case study data for a group of beginning nursing students who were taught problem-oriented charting with a group who were taught traditional charting. No differences were found between the groups in the mean number of patient problems identified from a case situation. However, in clinical charting, the problem-oriented group identified significantly more patient problems and had significantly higher quality-of-organization scores. Assuming the case situation and clinical situation were equivalent in presentation of identifiable problems, these findings suggested that the problem-oriented format was superior in allowing students to demonstrate their ability to identify and solve patient problems.


Changes in judgment of duration with different patterns of auditory information for individuals confined to bed. A theoretical proposition that changes in the organization and structure of auditory information result in changes in temporal experience was tested in this study. Changes were measured in the judgment of duration of a 40-second interval that occurred in three different patterns of auditory information among individuals confined to bed. The sample consisted of 90 men and 90 women aged 18 to 35 years who had no known physical or mental health problems. Subjects rested in bed in a comfortable room for two and one-half hours. Each subject received one of three forms of auditory information-called decoded, coded, and ambient auditory information. At four periods during the 150 minutes of auditory information (25 minutes, 75 minutes, 120 minutes, 150 minutes) the subject was directed by a lighted sign to produce a 40-second interval by depressing a button. The button was connected to a microtimer which timed the interval to the nearest tenth second. None of the three hypotheses-1) that time would seem to pass more slowly in the coded than in the decoded condition: 2) that time would pass more slowly in the decoded than ambient condition: and 3) that as the period of bedrest progressed differences in duration experience would occur among the three groups--was supported by the data. The produced interval for ambient auditory information was expected to be the longest of the three groups, but the opposite effect occurred; it was the shortest. The significant overestimation that occurred in the ambient condition relative to the decoded condition appeared to be related to the methodological imposition of vigilance, lack of structuring information, and the condition of waiting. The coded auditory input did not effect changes in duration relative to the decoded and ambient auditory information as subjects were able to reorder the coded information.

Increasing the quality of patient care through performance counseling and written goal setting. Patient care scores of staff nurses in seven Veterans Administration hospitals who used a performance counseling protocol that required written goal setting, coupled with head nurse modeling and support to achieve goals (experimental), were compared with scores of nurses who continued with usual practice (control). Staff nurses chose their own goals. One goal was to improve patient care and the other was to improve staff nurse professional competence. After six months, experimental group scores were higher on five patient care scales, one significantly. After 12 months, scores shifted in favor of the control group, one significantly. Experimental group scores were higher on patient interview questions after six months and made additional gains after 12 months. Experimental nurses generally were more satisfied with their nursing careers and described working relationships more positively. Some progress the experimental nurses made after six months was lost after 12 months. Nurses who received high patient care scores from outside observers described the hospital working environment in more positive terms. Relationships of three instruments that measure quality of patient care are presented.

Perception of life change events by the elderly. The perception of the amount of adjustment necessitated by the occurrence of common life events was assessed for 41 members of a senior citizens' club who ranged in age from 65 to 84. Significant agreement was found between the elderly subjects and the normative sample with regard to rank ordering of the life events. Markedly significant differences were found between the elderly and the normative sample in the magnitudes assigned to the life events, with the elderly group assigning the larger magnitude to most items.

Effect of experimental dermatophyte infection on cutaneous flora. The cutaneous aerobic bacterial flora was monitored during the course of experimental dermatiphyte (ringworm) infections on the forearms of 9 volunteers. Micrococcaceae were identified by the new Baird-Parker classification with the aid of a replica-plating technique. There were significant differences in total populations but not in kinds of flora compared with control (opposite) forearms. The proportion of penicillin-resistant microorganisms, however increased the infection, to a degree which varied as to individual. All coccal groups were affected; resistant flora diminished when the fungus was no longer DETECTED. Staphylococci were more frequently isolated than micrococci on the infected areas, but Staphylococcus aureus was not found. Trends toward hierarchies in persistance and quantities IV were observed among the flora, with Staphylococcus subgroups II and dominating the infected sites. On both areas almost all diphtheroids were nonfluorescent, lipophilic, and lipolytic. One subject consistently carried Bacillus firmus; another's normal microbiota contained Alcaligenes faecalis.

Vasopressor agents in shock.

Vasopressor agents in shock. Critical hemodynamic changes that are observed with the reduction of blood pressure in shock and the use of vasopressor agents as a temporary measure for maintaining arterial pressure so that irreparable tissue damage can be prevented are considered in this review of the use and efficacy of vasopressor agents in shock.  Indications for adrenergic stimulators include severe hypotensive episodes, in which case an alpha-beta stimulator such as metaraminol or norepinephrine is the therapy of choice; hemorrhagic shock, in which administration of an alpha-beta stimulator will help maintain essential cerebral and cardiac function by shunting blood to these areas while volume is being replaced; cardiogenic shock, in which vasodilators may reduce cardiac work by reducing diastolic blood pressure but coronary blood flow will also be reduced, counteracting the effects of decreasing the cardiac load; and endotoxic shock, in which the circulating blood volume decreases and venous return and cardiac output also decrease.  Prolonged use of these agents in any of these shock situations is ultimately deleterious.  Vasopressor drugs are best used to treat acute hypotension that occurs in myocardial infarction; in such cses, vasopressors are used to keep the blood pressure within normal range, but only as adjunctive therapy.  In hemorrhagic shock, though norepinephrine administration may increase blood pressure, the only lasting treatment is to replace the blood as rapidly as possible.

From chaos to a structured therapeutic community: treatment programme on Emiliehoeve, a farm for young addicts. Within two years a centre for young addicts emerged; from a chaotic situation where drug use was frequent a drug-free therapeutic community developed with a solid structure; encounter group techniques were the major therapeutic tool. The community is located on a farm providing a great variety of work situations. The evolution in this direction is described, pointing out the failings of several approaches attempted during the different phases of the programme.

Understanding British addiction statistics. The statistical data issued by the Home Office and Department of Health and Social Security are quite detailed and generally valid measures of hard core addiction in Great Britain (Judson, 1973). Since 1968, the main basis of these high quality British statistics is the routine reports filed by Drug Treatment Centres. The well-trained, experienced staff of these clinics make knowledgeable dicsions about a cleint's addiction, efficiently regulate dosage, and otherwise exert some degree of control over addicts (Judson, 1973; Johnson, 1974). The co-operation of police, courts, prison physicians, and general practitioners is also valuable in collecting data on drug addiction and convictions. Information presented in the tables above indicates that a rising problem of herion addiction between 1962 and 1967 were arrested by the introduction of the treatment clinics in 1968. Further, legally maintained heroin addiction has been reduced by almost one-third since 1968, since many herion addicts have been transferred to injectable methadone. The decline in herion prescribing and the relatively steady number of narcotics addicts has apparently occurred in the face of a continuing, and perhaps increasing, demand for heroin and other opiates. With few exceptions of a minor nature analysis of various tables suggests that the official statistics are internally consistent. There are apparently few "hidden" addicts, since few unknown addicts die of overdoses or are arrested by police (Lewis, 1973), although Blumberg (1974) indicates that some unknown users may exist. In addition, may opitate usersnot officially notified are known by clinic doctors as friends of addicts receiving prescriptions (Judson, 1973; Home Office, 1974). In brief, offical British drug statistics seem to be generally valid and demonstrate that heroin and perhaps methadone addiction has been well contained by the treatment clinics.

Inactivation of cefazolin, cephaloridine, and cephalothin by methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Cefazolin was more susceptible than cephaloridine and cephalothin to in vitro inactivation by coagulase-positive, penicillinase-producing strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Inactivation (which was greater with methicillin-resistant than with methicillin-sensitive strains) was demonstrated by assay of the antibiotics in broth cultures with simultaneous colony counts and by exposure of the antibiotics to penicillinase powders extracted from S. aureus. Cefazolin was destroyed to a greater extent than was cephaloridine, whereas cephalothin underwent little, if any, destruction. The clinical implications of this degradation, thought by some to be of importance for cephaloridine, might also apply to cefazolin.

Effect of plasmid carriage on the virulence of staphylococcus aureus. The possession of any of eight different plasmids by Staphylococcus aureus strain 649--either singly or simultaneously (in no. 649MR)--caused changes in growth kinetics. Six of the plasmids caused an increase in exponential doubling time (by 8-25%), and most also altered the duration of the lag period. Strain 649MR was significantly less virulent for 10-day chick embryos than the corresponding plasmid-negative culture (no. 649N). The avirulence persisted even after loss of the plasmids from no. 649MR. The presence of a single plasmid specifying tetracycline resistance produced a moderate reduction in virulence, but chromosomal tetracycline resistance had an insignificant effect on it. The decrease in virulence could not be attributed to reduced formation of soluble products. It probably resulted from alterations in the cell surface, but membrane-polypeptide profiles of virulent and avirulent cells lacking plasmids were similar. Survival of strains 649MR and 649N on glass was identical. Therefore, reduction in the incidence of staphylococcal sepsis may be due in part to loss of virulence that has resulted from plasmid carriage.


Activity of amoxycillin against enterococci and synergism with aminoglycoside antibiotics. Amoxycillin was more active in vitro than ampicillin or benzylpenicillin against clinical isolates of enterococci. All 55 strains tested were sensitive to the three penicillins but 15 strains showed a high level of resistance to streptomycin and two of these were also insensitive to kanamycin. All strains were sensitive to gentamicin, which was the most active of the aminoglycoside antibiotics. The penicillins showed pronounced bactericidal activity against the enterococci but failed to sterilise cultures of these organisms. Combinations of penicillins and aminoglycosides invariably produced synergistic bactericidal effects which resulted in sterilisation of cultures of these organisms. Combinations of penicillins and aminoglycosides invariably produced synergistic bactericidal effects which resulted in sterilisation of cultures of enterococci provided that the strain was sensitive to the aminoglycoside moiety of the antibiotic combination. Synergism was not observed with a combination of a penicillin and an aminoglycoside when the enterococcus was resistant to the aminoglycoside. The data reported suggest that amoxycillin may have certain advantages, compared with ampicillin or benzylpenicillin, for the treatment of enterococcal infections.

Evolution of breast feeding in Europe.

Evolution of breast feeding in Europe. During the first few decades of the 20th century infants in Europe were breastfed for 6 months or more; only during the 30s and 40s did breast feeding begin to decrease especially in those countries, as in Northern Europe, where child mortality had experienced a fast decline.  Information on the frequency and duration of breastfeeding in Europe is scant; one must also differentiate between whole breastfeeding and breast feeding supplemented by bottle feeding.  A study conducted in England in 1947--48 on 1142 infants showed that 58.85%, 33.3% and 22.2% were wholly breastfed at 1, 3, and 6 months, and that breast feeding was more common in professional families than in families of manual workers.  A similar study conducted in 1968 indicated that only 33% of mothers continued to breastfeed beyond the first 4 weeks.  In Poland breast feeding remained extremely popular until about 1930 when at least 90% of mothers breastfed for at least 1 month, after that frequency of breast feeding decreased to 79% in 1950, to 78% in 1960, and to 52% in 1964; figures for breast feeding at 3 and at 6 months are much lower.  The situation in Hungary appears to be much the same.  Breastfeeding practices started to decline in Sweden around 1940, and accelerated during the 1960s.  Factors which provoked a change in breastfeeding practices include changes in the social structure of the family, for example from the extended family to the nuclear family, changes in delivery conditions, improved knowledge about formula feeding, the impact of breast feeding techniques even by health personnel, changed attitudes about physical attributes such as breasts, and the high percentage of working mothers.  Physicians should encourage mothers to wholly breastfeed for 2-3 months, and then switch to mixed breast and formula feeding.  In underdeveloped countries mothers in conditions of extreme poverty and lack of hygiene should wholly breastfeed for at least 6 months.  Should breast feeding be abandoned at all we would see a decrease in the chance of survival of young children, despite improvement in living conditions.


Variation in the properties of a strain of Staphylococcus aureus isolated over three months from a single hospital. A strain  of Staphylococcus aureus has been isolated from a hospital environment over 3 months. Every isolate was lysed by phage 77, had high-level resistance to streptomycin, and was resistant to about 250 pg per ml of both tetracycline and sulphonamide; a combination of sulphamethoxazole and trimethoprim produced little bacteristatic synergy towards each isolate. All These organisms were thus considered to be "the same"; the variation in other properties was probably due to rapid evolutionary change in vivo. the variation in senxitivity to methicillin and neomycin, and the absence of penicillinase production in some isolates, probably indicated loss of the relevant genes. Several isolates had probably acquired resistance to lincomycin by a one-step mutatuon in vivo. The usefulness of lincomycin and analogues in treating staphylococcal infections seems limited.

Strategy and plan of action to combat gastro-enteritis and malnutrition in children under two years of age. (Formulated as requested by Resolution No. 7 of the 5th Caribbean Health Ministers Conference, Dominica, February 1973. The strategy and plan of action to combat gastroenteritis and malnutrtion in children under age 2 in the Caribbean is based on a 4-day Technical Group Meeting held in St. Vincent in January 1974 for this purpose.  7 overall goals -- expressed in terms of morbidity and mortality -- are to be achieved by 1980.  Widely distributed safe water supplies and adequate sewage and solid waste disposal are identified as the most urgent needs within the environmental health services.  Maternal and Child Health Services must be improved by adopting measures to increase their coverage and outreach into the community.  Improved staffing and training, better physical facilities, and upgraded surveillance techniques are among the needed improvements.  The importance of the role of family planning is stressed as is immunization.  Regarding the treatment of malnutrition and gastroenteritis, the need for a standardized practical management routine is to be met by the publication and distribution of a manual.  Coordinated action between the ministries of health and education is a prerequisite to the long overdue development of nutrition education in the schools.  The need for consumer education is also emphasized.  The strategy and plan of action aims at being sufficiently general to be applicable to all territories within the region, but directions and targets have been made specific wherever this seemed to be warranted and practicable.
