Mechanism of hypothalamic control of cardiac component of sinus nerve reflex. The modulatory influence of hypothalamic structures on sinus nerve induced bradycardia was investigated in anaesthetized cats. Stimulation of the hypothalamic defence area inhibits the bradycardia produced by sinus nerve stimulation both in intact animals and also in animals with the spinal cord sectioned at C1 or C6. This inhibition was accompanied in the normal animal by an increased sympathetic discharge and by a sustained inspiration or tachypnoea. The same respiratory effects were noted in a spontaneously breathing C6 spinal animal, while an artificially ventilated C1 spinal animal still displayed a powerful central inspiratory drive in its recurrent laryngeal electroneurogram. The presence of central inspiratory activity was found to be an absolute impediment to the development of bradycardia. If this activity was eliminated by simultaneous stimulation of the superior laryngeal nerve, it was possible to obtain bradycardia during combined sinus nerve and hypothalamic defence area stimulation, though this bradycardia was modified by the presence of sympathetic discharge. The level of sympathetic neural discharge affects the magnitude of the bradycardia produced by sinus nerve stimulation. The bradycardia was less with normal or augmented level of sympathetic activity and was greater if this activity was reduced or absent. A lesion just caudal to the mammillary bodies disclosed a tonic hypothalamic influence both on respiration and on sympathetic discharge; stimulation of the sinus nerve produced a much more powerful bradycardia after the lesion. The existence of a respiratory "gate" through which afferent stimuli pass on their way to the nucleus ambiguus, and which can be operated by the hypothalamic defence and depressor areas, is postulated and discussed.


Effects of bile salts on the motor activity of the guinea-pig gall-bladder in vitro. Intra-luminal pressures were measured in in vitro preparations of the guinea-pig gall bladder. Intrinsic tone and spontaneous activity were recorded together with the response of the gall-bladder to Pancreozymin. The effect of the presence of a variety of conjugated and unconjugated bile salts in the luminal fluid [pH 7.4] was studied. Sodium deoxycholate and sodium chenodeoxycholate had in inhibitory effect on motor activity at concentrations as low as 6.0 times 10(-6) mol. 1(-1) Sodium taurocholate at a concentration of 3 times 10(-3) mol. 1(-1) promoted regular spontaneous activity. The results are discussed in relation to their possible physiological, pathological and pharmacological implications.


Cardiac output during submaximal exercise in New Guineans: the relation with body size and habitat. Cardiac performance in moderate bicycle exercise has been measured in five groups of New Guineans (N = 161). Men and women in both coastal and highland (2000 m) locations were studied, as well as a group of highland men after migration to the coast. The results have all been standardized to an oxygen consumption of 1 1.min(-1). Cardiac output values are similar to those previously quoted for Europeans; a significant positive correlation with body size is found, and resident highlanders appear to have slightly larger cardiac outputs (+4%) and larger stroke volumes (+10%) after adjustment for body size, but this is not because they have larger hearts. The highland migrants at sea-level share none of the 'altitude' characteristics of the highland residents and, after size-adjustment, correspond with the lowlanders. The cardiac frequencies of the lowland women are higher than the other groups (+15 beats.min(-1)) after adjustment for differences in body size. Their values are close to those found previously for moderately active Europeans, while all the other New Guinean subjects have lower cardiac frequencies probably because of their greater habitual activity.

In vitro and in vivo evaluation of benzamidomethyl-benzylpenicillinate (FI7303). A new 'repository' form. A new type of hydrolyzable ester of penicillin G, benzamidomethyl benzylpenicillinate (FI 7303), was studied for the antibacterial activity and kinetics of absorption in comparison with DBED-penicillin G. FI 7303 resulted to be a good repository form of penicillin G, slowly eliminated in mouse, dog and man. It exerted a remarkable therapeutic activity in mice infected with Staphylococcus aureus even when administered 26 h before infection. The protective effect in mice was more prolonged than that of DBED-penicillin G, in agreement with the longer persistence of significant blood levels.

Metabolism of glycosides by Pseudomonas maltophilia. A study of the abilities of 23 strains of Pseudomonas maltophilia to hydrolyze synthetically-prepared and naturally-occurring glycosides is presented. Direct detection of liberated aglycones was used to determine hydrolysis of the five most-commonly-used glycosides (amygdalin, arbutin, esculin, ONPG (o-nitrophenyl-beta-d-galactoside), and salicin). The capabilities of the strain for acid production from 17 glycoside substrates were also determined using a medium designed to minimize the production of acid-neutralizing end-products from peptones.

Ventricular tachycardia-flutter associated with disopyramide therapy: a report of three cases. Three patients developed episodes of ventricular tachycardia and/or flutter-fibrillation while receiving disopyramide (Norpace). Syncope was the presenting complaint in all of them. The arrhythmias did not recur after disopyramide was discontinued. The Q-T interval was markedly prolonged in all three patients. One patient developed syncope associated with both quinidine and Norpace therapy. It is postulated that disopyramide, like quinidine, may provoke ventricular flutter-fibrillation in sensitive patients by similar mechanisms.

Unilateral vascular plethora--a sign in advanced unilateral basal bronchiectasis. Unilateral basal bronchiectasis results in a regional high vascular pressure and the flow of blood is thereby diverted to the uninvolved portion of the lung through bronchopulmonary anastomoses. Unilateral plethora of the upper lobe vessels in significant basal bronchiectasis of the same lung constitutes an important additional sign in the recognition of bronchiectasis on the plain chest radiograph. Attention is drawn to the fact that this will not occur if the adjacent lung is compromised by a related or unrelated disease process.

Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome mimicking myocardial infarction: unmasking by means of rapid atrial pacing. A patient is presented who had Q waves in Leads II, III, and aVF suggestive of inferior myocardial infarction. Despite a normal P-R interval, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome was suspected because of an abnormal delta wave-type QRS configuration. By means of rapid atrial pacing the accessory pathway was blocked, and the QRS complex was temporarily normalized. The abnormal Q waves disappeared, removing the suspicion of infarction. Rapid atrial pacing is a simple procedure that is recommended for clarifying the electrocardiographic diagnosis when WPW syndrome is suspected.

Laetrile--an overview. The original theory in the 1920s on the mode of action of Laetrile is described along with the research that followed in light of this theory. For over 40 years, studies were conducted, using test animals, in an attempt to substantiate the theory. All of these studies have shown Laetrile does not preferentially kill cancer cells. In spite of these studies, the misconception persists that Laetrile prevents and cures cancer. The legal and socioeconomic implications of Laetrile are examined and the role of health education in combating this problem is explored.

The relevance of health education to health activation and self-care. Contemporary medical care is a valuable but incomplete approach to health. The individual is coming to be recognized by many providers and consumers of health care alike as the primary health care resource, and individual behaviors and lifestyles are now recognized as the principle determinants of health. A new trend toward health activation is emerging which emphasizes self-care and self-help. This movement is transforming the traditionally passive patient into an active, informed and effective participant in health care and health promotion. The recent interest in programs designed to enhance self-care skills is extremely relevant to health education in the schools and the community. The prime justification of health education has traditionally been one of promoting individual responsibility for generating and maintaining health. Integration of health education concepts may have an overall effect of enhancing health in the United States.


Parental attendance at a school dental program: its impact upon the dental behavior of the children. The Okanagan dental health team invited parents of kindergarten children to attend an educational and brush-in session of the school dental program. This included actively participating in the brush-in. In four school districts, data were compiled comparing children whose parents attending with children whose parents did not. Behavioral variables compared included dental visits, routine oral hygiene, and the use of fluoride paste and rinse at the sessions. Dental exams both a priori and a posteriori allowed an assessment of the dentition and gingival tissue of both groups. Results showed a significantly greater improvement in both the dental behavior and dental health of the children whose parents attended the session. These results give valid evidence to the advantage of involving parents in a school based dental program.


An evaluation model for school health services. The following article represents a summary of a study conducted during the 1976-77 school year in Virginia. The investigation was an attempt to describe some characteristics of school health services around the Commonwealth. The study also provided an opportunity to implement an evaluation model designed specifically for the Virginia situation, but its flexibility allows for modification in order to meet the evaluation needs of other school populations.

Single and combination antibiotic therapy of Staphylococcus aureus experimental endocarditis: emergence of gentamicin-resistant mutants. The efficacy of nafcillin and gentamicin used alone and in combination at doses giving serum concentrations comparable to those achieved in patients was studied in rabbits with experimental Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis. The organism used was a penicillinase-producing, methicillin-susceptible, clinical isolate. The addition of gentamicin to nafcillin significantly increased the rate of killing of organisms in valvular vegetations, compared to the effect of nafcillin alone. Gentamicin alone delayed mortality but was not effective in reducing the bacterial populations of the vegetations. Bacteremia persisted in the animals treated with gentamicin alone, in contrast to the groups treated with nafcillin or the combination. Selection of a subpopulation of aminoglycoside-resistant small-colony variants occurred in animals treated with gentamicin alone. This variant was subsequently employed in the rabbit model and produced endocarditis, metastatic infection, and bacteremia comparable to those caused by the parent strain. Animals with infection produced by the variant died later than animals infected by the parent strain. Nafcillin was equally effective in reducing the population of both parent and variant strains in vitro and in therapy of the infected animals. Population studies showed the variant to be a mutant emerging at a rate of 1.9 x 10(-7). It was shown to differ from the parent strain in coagulase and hemolysin production, colonial morphology, and aminoglycoside susceptibility, but was similar by light and electron microscopy and in phage type, pigmentation of colonies, deoxyribonuclease production, mannitol fermentation, and growth rate.

Upper extremity total joint replacement. Current techniques of total joint replacement surgically correct badly destroyed joints by the insertion of plastic and metal components, which are secured to the skeleton by methylmethacrylate cement. This approach began in England in 1962 and in the United States in 1967. Recent development in the field of upper extremity joint replacement allow implementation of refined total shoulder, elbow, and wrist prostheses. Although less experience has been gained with these prostheses than with total hip and knee replacements, preliminary results are encouraging.

You and the law: teenagers, birth control and the nurse. Today's teen-agers do need access to contraceptive information.  8 years ago in Canada, there were 14,801 illegitimate births among mothers between the ages of 15 and 19.  Changes in Canadian abortion laws have resulted in a decrease in the number of illegitimate births since then, but the need for contraception continues as indicated by the 12,481 therapeutic abortions performed on adolescents in this age group in 1974.  Teen-age male as well as female adolescents need counseling in the area of sexual conduct regarding the prevention of pregnancy and venereal disease.  Despite school-sponsored classes in sexual development, teen-agers continue to have misconceptions concerning pregnancy and birth control.  Effective teaching and counseling as preventive measures are critical, and the nurse has a key role for often she provides the counseling.  Sensitive listening and open communication are important elements in dealing with young people.  It is important for nurses to be aware of their own personal attitudes and biases regarding human sexual conduct, and these personal views should not be imposed on patients.  A sensitive, open, and non-judgmental approach is necessary with adolescents.  The minor's capacity to give consent to treatment is of major relevance, for without consent a physician or nurse may incur liability.  While some provinces allow teen-agers under the age of majority to give a valid consent to treatment, most provinces restrict capacity to give such consent to those who have attained the age of majority.  Physicians and nurses frequently do deal directly with minors without parental consent, yet the number of reported legal cases in Canada remains miniscule, possibly because parents eventually recognize the need for contraception in their sexually active teen-agers.  Once parental involvement is refused by the teen-agers, the teen-agers should become the primary patient and confidentiality should be respected.

Modification of elongation-factor-Tu . guanine-nucleotide interaction by kirromycin. A comparison with the effect of aminoacyl-tRNA and elongation factor Ts.


The role of guanine nucleotides in the interaction between aminoacyl-tRNA and elongation factor 1 of Artemia salina. The low-molecular-weight form of elongation factor 1 (EF-1L) of the cysts of the brine shrimp Artemia salina and [3H]phenylalanyl-tRNA are able to form a stable complex which can be isolated on a Sephacryl S200 column. The formation of this complex is inhibited by increasing concentrations of magnesium acetate and KCl. Furthermore, the formation of this complex is independent of the presence of guanine nucleotides. Complex formation between EF-1L and phenylalanyl-tRNA appears to be specific, since acylation of the tRNA is a necessity for this interaction. Although EF-1L alone binds GDP somewhat more strongly than GTP, the complex between EF-1L and phenylalanyl-tRNA binds GTP exclusively. Our results support the idea that complex formation between EF-1L and aminoacyl-tRNA precedes the enzymatic binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the 80-S ribosome. Subsequently to this binding, release of EF-1L from the ribosome occurs.

The effect of endotracheal suctioning on arterial blood gases in patients after cardiac surgery.


Ventricular fibrillation in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, type A. A young individual who developed ventricular fibrillation following atrial fibrillation in the WPW syndrome is presented. The precise cardiac rhythm diagnosis is extremely important for proper management. When the QRS morphology is bizarre and the ventricular rate is very fast (200 to 300 b.p.m.) in atrial fibrillation, the WPW syndrome should be considered as the underlying disorder. Digitalis should be avoided in this circumstance because anomalous conduction may be accelerated by the drug, leading to deterioration of the clinical picture and even death. When an antiarrhythmic drug is to be used, intravenous lidocaine is the drug of choice. For the prophylactic measure, oral quinidine or procainamide is equally effective for atrial fibrillation with anomalous conduction in the WPW syndrome.


Reliance on physical signs in acute myocardial infarction and its complications.


Sexual activity in exercising patients after myocardial infarction and revascularization. In order to evaluate the effects of exercise training on coital habits after myocardial infarction and revascularization, questionnaires were mailed to 130 patients enrolled in a gymnasium exercise program. Of 87 (67%) responding, 68 had experienced myocardial infarction and 19 had undergone myocardial revascularization. The postinfarction group significantly decreased their frequency of coitus after infarction by 28%; the revascularization group, however, decreased activity by only 10%. The myocardial infarction group waited 9.4 weeks after infarction to resume sexual intercourse, while the revascularization group waited a mean of only 5.7 weeks. These data suggest that physically trained post-myocardial infarction patients decrease frequency of coitus significantly more than physically trained patients with myocardial revascularization. The overall decrease, however, is notably less than that reported in nontrained post-myocardial infarction patients and suggests a "bedroom benefit" of medically supervised exercise in selected patients after infarction or revascularization.

Exercise stress testing in the patient with coronary artery disease. Part I. Treadmill cardiac stress tests have a number of well known, identifiable criteria for positivity. One that is less known and thus often not appreciated, is the appearance of an inverted U wave in the left chest leads at the peak of exercise. This, even as an isolated finding, indicates a positive test. Of clinical significance is that this electrocardiographic response to a stress test is associated with an isolated lesion of the left anterior descending coronary artery.

A review of microwave oven safety.

A review of microwave oven safety. The microwave leakage from current microwave ovens, which are manufactured to meet government emission standards, is reviewed. Typical leakage values imply exposure values well below the most conservative exposure standards in the world. A review of recent developments discloses increasingly stringent government regulation along with advances in techniques for suppression of microwave leakage. The nature of the leakage field is described and studies relating emission to exposure are reviewed. Field survey data are reviewed and it is found that the overwhelming majority of certified ovens in the field show leakage well below permissible limits with an increasing degree of certainty as time goes on. The conclusion is that microwave ovens are not only just as safe as they were in 1973 but they are being accepted as safe under essentially equivalent emission regulations in various countries including those in Eastern Europe.

Effects of dietary choline and N,N-dimethylaminoethanol on lung phospholipid and surfactant of newborn rats. Pups delivered by rats fed during pregnancy a choline-deficient (CD) diet containing 1% N,N-dimethylaminoethanol (DME) die within 36 hr of birth. The concentrations of sphingomyelins, phosphatidyl cholines, and disaturated phosphatidyl cholines in the lungs of these pups are lower than those in the lungs of pups delivered by dams fed a choline-supplemented diet (CS). The amount of surfactant isolated from the lung of the pups was also reduced. These changes were accompanied by alterations in the activity of enzymes (choline kinase, EC 2.7.1.32; choline phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.8.2) involved in the synthesis of lung lecithins. These results strongly suggest that pups delivered by dams fed a CD diet containg 1% DME die of respiratory distress syndrome due to altered metabolism of lung surfactant.

Status consistency and nurses' expectations and perceptions of role performance. To determine if behavior of individuals at various levels within a profession may be predicted, relationship between expectations and perceptions of role performance among nurses and status consistency and status inconsistency was investigated. Two variables were selected as the best predictors in regression analysis of the scores for expectations and perceptions: type of basic nursing program from which a subject graduated and type of status consistency of the subject. Of the three variables--education, position, and income--education was the most important for determining status consistency. This study supported the conclusion that a significant relationship exists between expectations and perceptions of role behavior and status consistency.

Safe practice in the operating theatre: identification of patients.


Nursing care of oncology patients receiving chemotherapy. As part of a research effort directed at identifying specific nursing activities related to the subsequent health status of the patient, this study explored relationships between selected nursing activities and patient outcomes for the oncology patient who was receiving chemotherapy. The study was correlational in design and descriptive in nature. Included in the study were 57 subjects from oncology and/or medical units in public and private nonprofit general hospitals. Human subjects' clearance was obtained for the study in each participating hospital. Data were collected primarily by means of patient and nurse responses to self-administered questionnaires. In the initial phase of data analysis, zero-order correlations were obtained for each pair of nursing activity and patient outcome variables. In addition, to identify relative contributions of different nursing activities to the health status of patients, regression analyses were performed in selected situations. The content and the quality of the explanation of the treatment and care regime were observed to be correlated positively with the patient's self-esteem. The quality of the explanation was observed to be positively related to the patient's knowledge base. Involving the patient in his care plan and giving him control over the activities of the day were positively correlated with importance of having things explained to him.

Relationship between length of time and contamination in open intravenous solutions. This study investigated rate of contamination in simulated in-use intravenous solutions to obtain data from which to recommend a standard time period for the administration of intravenous solutions. Although the Center for Disease Control and many medical institutions have recommended that all bottles of in-use intravenous solutions be changed every 24 hours, there are no published data to support the 24-hour standard. In this study, samples were drawn from 80 bottles of Ringer's Lactate solution at predetermined time intervals over 48 hours and cultured on blood agar plates to determine rate of contamination. A low incidence of intravenous solution contamination was found at all time periods. Of 430 total samples, only 12 (2.8%) were contaminated. Results of this study did not indicate a significant relationship between time and contamination of simulated in-use intravenous solutions. Therefore, contamination that does occur within 48 hours in intravenous solutions must be introduced from some exogenous source. Further research is required to elucidate exogenous sources of contamination. In the meantime, it can be concluded, the 24-hour standard is adequate to protect against contamination that would occur solely from preparation of the intravenous solution for administration.


Development of a research tool: Patient Indicators of Nursing Care. A tool, Patient Indicators of Nursing Care, was designed to measure quality of nursing care, defined in this study as prevention of nursing care complications. Nursing-accountable complications are seen as the presence of negative patient care outcomes as evidenced by observable physiologic indicators. A negative outcome results when either an observed indicator which was present at admission remains evident up to seven days postadmission or an absent indicator becomes evident during this time period. PINC is a 24-item list. Th list is first administered up to 48 hours postadmission; the second administration takes place between five and seven days postadmission. Scoring of PINC is based on the idea that four important presence-absence conditions exist and that each represents a value of quality of nursing care. Split-half reliability was computed for PINC, based on a sample of 124 patients from four hospital settings. The Spearman-Brown reliability coefficient was .871. An item analysis was accomplished by computing the correlation of each item with the total score. The computed correlation of .797 was a measure of interrater agreement. Face validity was established early in the test development by having the investigators judge the items in terms of observability, availability, and credibility. Predictive validity was not explicity examined although a major difference in PINC scores was found between critical care patients and other groups.

What are some successful strategies for negotiating field research in community agencies?


Evaluating the performance of nurses: a multidimensional approach. This article describes the development--including content, structure, validity, and reliability--of the Six-dimension Scale of Nursing Performance (Six-D Scale), which consists of a series of 52 nurse behaviors grouped into six performance subscales: leadership (5 items), critical care (7 items), teaching/collaboration (11 items), planning/evaluation (7 items), interpersonal relations/communications (12 items), and professional development (10 items). The scale may be used to obtain self-appraisals of performance, employer appraisals of performance, or perceived adequacy of nursing school preparation for performance. The case is made for the construct and pragmatic validity of the Six-D Scale, and all six subscales are shown to be highly reliable. The instrument was found to be suitable for performance evaluation as well as a useful research tool.

Symposium on advances in pulmonary medicine: foreword.


Correlation of chest roentgenology and lung physiology. Most disease states giving rise to pulmonary symptoms represent a composite of physiologic changes involving ventilation and perfusion. The major initial physiologic abnormality is identified for a number of problems commonly encountered.


Preoperative evaluation of patients with bronchogenic carcinoma. The preoperative evaluation of patients with suspected or proven bronchogenic carcinoma is directed at establishing the diagnosis, the extent of disease, and the ability of the patient to withstand the removal of lung tissue. The diagnosis may not be established until thoracotomy, but sputum cytologies or specimens taken at the time of fiberoptic bronchoscopy may diagnose a malignant process preoperatively.


Pulmonary embolism: dilemmas in diagnosis and therapy. Pulmonary embolism is unique among cardiorespiratory diseases because of its high frequency of both overdiagnosis and underdiagnosis. The lack of specific and consistent clinical, laboratory, roentgen, and electrocardiographic features lead to this paradox. While the lung scan may be diagnostic in selected cases, the pulmonary angiogram is the most accurate method of demonstrating emoboli short of operative or pathological examination.


Sarcoidosis.

Sarcoidosis.


Nuclear medicine procedures in diagnosis of pulmonary diseases. Nuclear medicine studies make it possible to identify areas within the lung where ventilation/perfusion changes have occurred, and allow precise quantification of the regional distribution of ventilation and perfusion.


Aspiration pneumonia and anaerobic lung infections. Anaerobic organisms and their role in pleuropulmonary infections have been recognized with increased frequency with advances in diagnostic techniques. Valuable clinical, microbiologic and radiologic clues exist and are extremely useful in the diagnosis and treatment of such infections.


Pulmonary infections in the compromised host. Immunocompromised hosts are predisposed to pulmonary infection with a wide variety of pathogens. A cooperative team effort is recommended to complete, in stepwise fashion, the procedures necessary to establish the specific cause of pulmonary infiltrates in the compromised host. The diagnostic approach needs to be individualized, and will depend in part on the urgency of the clinical situation and the skills available at the institution providing treatment.


Acute respiratory failure: an approach to diagnosis and management. Acute respiratory failure can be diagnosed using clinical judgment and simple bedside measurement of physiologic function. Respiratory support is based on the pathophysiology of the disorder. Initial therapy is directed at correcting life-threatening hypercapnia, hypoxia, and acidosis. The final outcome is positively influenced by skillful intensive care and a team approach.


Chest trauma.

Chest trauma. Direct or secondary injury to the organs in the chest not only present the physician with a structural problem but will set up a situation where his knowledge of cardiopulmonary physiology is tested. Although major operative repair is usually not needed, procrastination and failure to meticulously treat even what appears to be a minor injury may result in rapid death or prolonged morbidity.


Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis. Staphylococcus epidermidis is frequently associated with infection of prosthetic heart valves, prosthetic orthopedic devices, and neurosurgical shunts. Penicillinase-resistant semisynthetic penicillins, such as methicillin, have been the therapeutic and prophylactic agents of choice for S epidermidis infection. However, more S epidermidis isolates are now resistant to methicillin and other penicillins. In our laboratory 41% of S epidermidis isolates were resistant to methici-lin. All of the methicillin-susceptible isolates and 82% of the methicillin-resistant isoates were susceptible to cephalothin. Cephalothin should replace methicillin as the prophylactic and therapeutic agent of choice in institutions with a high percentage of methicillin-resistant S epidermidis.

Major mental handicap: methods and costs of prevention.


A method for neurological evaluation within the first year of life: experience with full-term newborn infants with birth injury. In a prospective study undertaken at Port-Royal Maternity Hospital, Paris, 1785 deliveries were studied during a 15-month period. Signs of cerebral dysfunction were observed in 57 newborn infants--mild signs in 38 infants, moderate in 17, severe in 2. There was a high incidence of abnormal labour in 28 of these 57 infants (50%) (dysfunctional labour patterns without obvious cephalopelvic disproportion, including false labour, prolonged active-phase dilatation, (prolonged descent, marked caput succedaneum). During the first year of life, 30 of the 57 infants were followed. In 14 of the 30 infants transitory abnormalities were observed. In five infants abnormalities persisted at the end of the first year. Eleven infants were normal throughout the first year. In another study the incidence of cerebral symptoms at birth was compared in full-term infants born in 1974 and those born in 1976. Thirteen infants with moderate and severe symptoms were observed out of 1578 deliveries during 1974 and five out of 1934 deliveries during 1976, the incidence of Caesarean section necessitated by acute fetal distress being the same in both groups. This decreasing percentage of complications appears to be linked with improving care, including more widespread use of fetal monitoring.


Aetiology of severe handicapping conditions in early childhood. The hypothesis that the incidence of major childhood handicap could be significantly reduced by an increase in the availability of intensive care facilities for newborn babies has been considered in an examination of possible aetiological factors in 128 young children with mental and/or neurological handicaps referred to the Armitstead Child Development Centre, Dundee, 1973-77. Thirty-three children suffered from primary mental retardation; adverse perinatal factors were possibly implicated in one case. Low birth weight was considered to be the primary aetiological factor in 23 of 73 children with cerebral palsy +/- mental retardation and in 13 with other adverse perinatal factors. Moderate or severe neonatal complications were reported for 37% but in 27% complications were likely to have resulted from existing brain damage or abnormality. Available evidence suggested that early embryonic origin of handicap was most likely in three-quarters of cases of primary mental retardation, and in one-third of cases of cerebral palsy. Severity of handicap in children with cerebral palsy was significantly increased in those whose handicaps had a prenatal origin. Of this selected group of handicapped children (cerebral palsy being over-represented), adverse perinatal factors may have caused or exacerbated existing brain damage in, at most, one-third.


ABCs of perinatal medicine.

ABCs of perinatal medicine. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the continuum of perinatal risks responsible for developmental handicaps in infancy. The first step is the Assessment of risks during pregnancy so that intervention can occur naturally in the process of preventive health care. A valid risk-assessment system has been developed which can facilitate identification of the high-risk pregnancy. New methods of perinatal care during the Birth process are now available which allow active intervention aimed at reducing the likelihood of a high-risk patient delivering an infant destined to become handicapped. During the neonatal period Critical care has been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality. However, the perinatal profile of the handicap is not yet complete enough to fully explain developmental delay. A new health care strategy based on prospective risk assessment and early intervention must now be seriously considered which will allow technological medicine to continue to improve well-being.


Neonatal intensive care and the prevention of major handicap. During the past 20 years there has been a great increase in the understanding of deranged physiological mechanisms in certain groups of newborn infants that were, in the past, at high risk for death or major handicap. Much information of direct clinical relevance has come from the study of experimental animals, particularly about the changes that occur in the lungs and circulation at birth. Work in progress on an animal model of intraventricular haemorrhage suggests that this, like many other causes of brain damage, is a potentially preventable condition. Technological advances, such as continuous blood-gas analysis, make the prevention of handicapping conditions simpler, but the application of modern methods can be expensive. Current evidence shows that neonatal intensive care saves lives, and that the incidence of major handicap in the survivors is reduced. Society will have to decide how much money should be put into this area of medicine, and it will also have to help neonatal paediatricians with the difficult ethical dilemmas that they are now having to face.

Natural family planning: the ovulation method. For the many persons to whom current methods of artificial birth control are not acceptable the ovulation method could be the ideal solution to the problem of contraception.  This method, discovered in 1952, is based upon observable changes in the cervical mucus which precede ovulation, and make it possible for a woman to identify her fertile days.  Reports indicate that this method has a pregnancy rate of 1.3/100 women months.  Women desiring to use this method are advised to keep a record of each cycle till they learn to identify on a given day whether they are fertile or not.  Centers have been developed where women and couples teach other couples this method, which should be included in the armamentarium of services of every competent nurse and midwife.

Weaning from the breast for a happy ending to a satisfying experience. Weaning from breastfeeding is often more traumatic for both the mother and her child than most people think. A mild form of postpartum blues often occurs and is intensified when the mother lacks the needed emotional support. Advice by specialists varies from "weaning naturally" to "gradual omission of each separate breastfeeding", but all emphasize the need for gradual weaning. Little information is available on "how to wean". The nurse's role is to learn of the parent's feelings toward breastfeeding, provide for support, and avoid any actions that might undermine the mother's confidence in her decision to wean or not to wean.


A statewide program to teach nurses the use of fetal monitors. The regionalization concept in perinatal medicine has opened many new areas of information and practice for obstetrical nurses. One of these areas is in electronic fetal monitoring. Since the technique is relatively new to most nurses, the need for in-hospital training is tremendous. This article describes the first steps taken in establishing such an educational program, the expansion of that program to statewide coverage, and the incorporation and expansion of such a program to meet the needs of the area in the regionalization of perinatal health care.


Satisfaction with prepared childbirth and locus of control. The study tests the hypothesis that there is a positive association between a sense of personal control (internal locus of control) and satisfaction with the experience of prepared childbirth. Women delivering at a university hospital were studied by the administration of the Rotter I-E Scale and a postpartum questionnaire. The results demonstrated that internal locus of control was related to satisfaction in the prepared group of women. Class attendance alone did not distinguish the subjects with respect to satisfaction.


Maternal anxiety in pregnancy and fetal homeostasis. Although it is recognized that pregnant women may be extremely anxious and that anxiety is accompanied by sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity, little clinical consideration has been given to the potential harm to the fetus. A review of the literature, including research on both animal and human pregnancies, reveals what is known about this subject. A section on implications for maternity care follows, including a summary of the possible effects of anxiety during pregnancy, identification of women most at risk from anxiety, and intervention measures.


Using a teaching guide for better postpartum and infant care. The development and use of a guide for postpartum and infant care teaching is discussed, including the rationale, methods,and advantages of using this tool at two hospitals of different sizes. Also discussed are the preparation of personnel, ongoing development, and extended uses of the guide.


Evaluation of a prepared childbirth program. A study was undertaken to ascertain what effects on the outcome of labor and delivery could be attributed to a prepared childbirth program. Three tables are included setting forth statistical relationships. The basic conclusion was that more than five hours of structured prenatal education has a positive impact on maternal-child health.

Preparation for breastfeeding: a one-year followup of 34 nursing mothers. A retrospective survey of 34 breastfeeding mothers was undertaken. From the data the following hypotheses have been suggested for further study: 1) Class preparation for breastfeeding favors a longer duration of nursing. 2) Nipple rolling and breast massage with manual expression of colostrum during pregnancy are not associated with a longer duration of nursing, nor do they prevent sore nipples or breast engorgement postpartum. 3) Mothers with multiple complications are at high risk for lactation failure. 4) Limiting nursing time for the first few days postpartum does not prevent sore nipples.


Characteristics of posthospitalization recovery following hysterectomy. A study to determine the characteristics of posthospitalization recovery after hysterectomy was designed and implemented. Explicit consideration was given to women's feelings of sexuality and the fears and myths which precede and follow the surgery. Retrospective and current self-report data on four major areas were obtained: a) physical changes, b) emotional changes, c) changes in sexuality, and d) fears or beliefs. The results identify some common posthysterectomy physical and emotional experiences. The data challenge the belief that hysterectomy is usually a blow to a woman's concept of self and indicate that most women do not harbor unrealistic fears of physical, emotional, and sexual sequelae. The study findings have implications for nursing care of hysterectomy patients.

Theories regarding endocrine contributions to the onset of labor. A review of the literature on endocrine factors influencing labor is presented. Treated separately are oxytocin, the prostaglandins, the fetus, and estrogen/progesterone. Implications for nursing practice and theory are discussed where appropriate, and the reader is encouraged to think of parturition as a complex interplay of factors.


An instrument to assess the quality of maternal behavior. Early assessment, detection, and therapeutic intervention in maladaptive maternal behavior can be facilitated by a simple nursing appraisal instrument employed initially on the third postpartum day. The Funke-Irby Interactional Assessment not only discriminates between early adaptive and maladaptive maternal behaviors, but it also illustrates a mother's progress or lack of progress toward adaptive mothering, making the instrument useful to the community health nurse during the early postdelivery weeks. This instrument has been effectively used as a screening device for nurses making decisions about the need for further referral for family therapy.


Gentle birth: its safety and its effect on neonatal behavior. Leboyer describes a method of handling babies at birth designed to decrease initial stimulation and lessen trauma for the infant. Twenty clinic patients were delivered using a modification of this method. They were compared to 17 control patients delivered in the customary manner. Significant differences were noted between the two groups in five of 18 neonate behaviors observed in the delivery room. Among control subjects there was significantly more time spent with hand muscles tense during the first ten minutes after birth; more trembling, shuddering, and blinking during the first 15 minutes after deliver; and more trembling and shuddering overall. Experimental subjects spent significantly more time with hand muscles relaxed during the first ten minutes after birth and more time with open eyes overall. Results of this study indicate the Leboyer method is safe for mother and infant and promotes infant relaxation in the delivery room.


The role of the nurse during amniocentesis. Amniocentesis is a relatively simple, safe, and accurate diagnostic tool which is being performed with increased frequency in local hospitals. The maternity nurse has a responsibility to know the clinical applications, the role of the nurse during the procedure, and the potential risks associated with amniocentesis.
