Selected AbstractsPsychology's public image in "Topics of the Times": Commentary from the editorial page of the New York Times between 1904 and 1947JOURNAL OF THE HISTORY OF THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES, Issue 4 2002Paul M. Dennis Ph.D. Between 1904 and 1947, the New York Times published in a section of its editorial page, "Topics of the Times," 196 commentaries on psychology. Prior to World War I, the majority of editorials centered on Hugo Münsterberg; psychological topics most frequently examined after the war were the mental test, child rearing advice, and psychoanalysis. Although the Times was enthusiastic in its support for psychology in the years immediately before and after World War I, editorial opinion soon turned negative. Critical of psychology for promising more than it could deliver, being inconsistent in its assertions over time, and not rising above the level of common sense, Times editorials weighed heavily on the side of undermining, rather than promoting, psychology's credibility from the late 1920s to 1940s. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. [source] Subjective and objective incontinence 5 to 10 years after Burch colposuspensionNEUROUROLOGY AND URODYNAMICS, Issue 2 2002Sigurd Kulseng-Hanssen Abstract The outcome of incontinence surgery was studied using a questionnaire, a 24-hour pad test (24hPT), and a stress test (ST). Five to 10 years after a Burch colposuspension, 111 patients were asked to complete the Bristol Female Urinary Tract Symptom Questionnaire (BFLUTS) and to perform a 24hPT and a ST. Eighty-two patients completed the questionnaire and 71 and 69 patients performed the stress and pad tests, respectively. Seventy-three percent of the patients did not leak during the ST and 75% of the patients were not leaking during the 24hPT. Seventy-three percent of the patients stated that they were at least occasionally stress or urge incontinent and 62% stated that they were both stress and urge incontinent. However, only 24% of the stress incontinent and 28% of the urge incontinent patients found their incontinence to be "quite a problem" or "a serious problem." Patients leaking urine only "occasionally," "once a week," leaking "drops," and finding the leakage to be "a bit of a problem" had median leakage 0g during ST and 24hPT. Patients who reported the leakage to occur "sometimes" "most or all of the time" and who found the leakage to be "a bit, quite, or a serious problem" accounted for 20 to 30% of all patients, as did patients leaking during objective tests. Objective tests revealed leakage to occur less frequently compared with self-reported leakage. The BFLUTS questionnaire revealed leakage to occur with varying frequency, amount, and bother. Leakage occurring seldom, of small amount and bother may be of minor clinical importance. Neurourol. Urodynam. 21:100,105, 2002. © 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc. [source] Palatal anaesthesia for the removal of maxillary third molars as practised by oral and maxillofacial surgeons in Australia and New ZealandAUSTRALIAN DENTAL JOURNAL, Issue 4 2007ME Badcock Abstract Background: Injections of local anaesthetic to the palate are well known to be poorly tolerated. The absolute requirement of a palatal injection for the removal of maxillary third molars has never been investigated. The aim of this study was to document the current practice of palatal anaesthesia for extraction of these teeth with local anaesthesia as practised by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Methods: A postal survey was sent via the ANZAOMS office to all oral and maxillofacial surgeons who were members of the Australian and New Zealand Association, a total of 131. A response rate of 64 per cent (n=84) was achieved. The frequency of administration and the factors that determined the decision to administer a palatal injection were assessed, as well as the methods employed for reducing the injection discomfort. Results: The majority (77 of the 84) "always" gave a palatal injection for the removal of maxillary third molars, four respondents administered an injection "most of the time", and two respondents "occasionally". Significantly, one respondent "never" gave a palatal injection. The majority (76 per cent) utilized at least one adjunct in order to reduce the discomfort of the injection. Conclusions: The results of this survey suggest that for removal of maxillary third molars the requirement of the poorly tolerated palatal injection may not be absolute as conventionally taught and demonstrates the need for further investigation. [source] A Survey of Workplace Violence Across 65 U.S. Emergency DepartmentsACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE, Issue 12 2008Susan M. Kansagra MD Abstract Objectives:, Workplace violence is a concerning issue. Healthcare workers represent a significant portion of the victims, especially those who work in the emergency department (ED). The objective of this study was to examine ED workplace violence and staff perceptions of physical safety. Methods:, Data were obtained from the National Emergency Department Safety Study (NEDSS), which surveyed staff across 69 U.S. EDs including physicians, residents, nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. The authors also conducted surveys of key informants (one from each site) including ED chairs, medical directors, nurse managers, and administrators. The main outcome measures included physical attacks against staff, frequency of guns or knives in the ED, and staff perceptions of physical safety. Results:, A total of 5,695 staff surveys were distributed, and 3,518 surveys from 65 sites were included in the final analysis. One-fourth of surveyed ED staff reported feeling safe sometimes, rarely, or never. Key informants at the sampled EDs reported a total of 3,461 physical attacks (median of 11 attacks per ED) over the 5-year period. Key informants at 20% of EDs reported that guns or knives were brought to the ED on a daily or weekly basis. In multivariate analysis, nurses were less likely to feel safe "most of the time" or "always" when compared to other surveyed staff. Conclusions:, This study showed that violence and weapons in the ED are common, and nurses were less likely to feel safe than other ED staff. [source] | ||||||||||
