Psychology Of Drug Abuse, John Buckman

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The history of drug abuse is as long as history. While all drugs are being abused, this paper has attempted only to elucidate some of the psychological reasons why the western adolescent might be attracted to excessive drug use or experimentation. There has grown in the past 8 years a great interest in drugs which produce an altered state of consciousness. It is the opinion of this writer that the adolescent years may be the worst years to experiment with the strong hallucinogens like LSD, mescaline, or psilocybin. The adolescent is already under enormous pressure, both from within and without, …

Autoerthrocyte Sensitization Or Psychogenic Purpura?, Thomas G. Smith

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The following report describes the occurrence, in four women, of an abnormal response to bruising, characterized by local pain, swelling, and extension of bleeding into adjacent areas, often to a serious extent. The histories and laboratory investigations suggest that, in these patients, there has occurred a sensitization against one of their own body tissues, namely red blood cells.

Pacemaker Clinic, Victor Parsonnet

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Pacemaker longevity is a serious problem to overcome. However, our immediate concern is to get as much useful life from a pacemaker as possible. On the average, pacemakers fail in about 23 months. The only pacemaker that lasted much longer was a fixed-rate unit, the Medtronic 5860, which is no longer available. A past suggestion in handling this problem has been to change the pacemaker electively at an arbitrary time, but that time has varied tremendously as the manufacturers once selected 30 months, and more recently 15 months. If a pacemaker is replaced at 15 months, very few of them …

The Adolescent And Competitive Athletics, Isao Hirata Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

An attempt has been made to view the adolescent in organized athletics--sympathetically and understandingly. In doing so, an admittedly-biased vantage point has been selected-the better to evaluate the philosophical desirability of competition, as of itself, and, secondary thereto, the positive or negative value of organized competitive athletics. Since, philosophy or no, athletic programs have long been established in almost every conceivable sport and in almost every age group from grade-school onwards, a pattern of organized medical care to cope with this established need has been advocated, much as it already exists in most colleges, large and small. Based on experience …

Current Trends In College Health Medicine, Philip B. Chase

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

All the complex factors which are bringing about changes in college education--economic, social, political, and cultural--are profoundly affecting college health medicine. These changes are occurring with unusual rapidity, and are certainly causing strains to the old establishment thought to be so secure and unassailable a few years ago. However, in the new trends--student participation in the work of the Health Service, expansion of the work of the Health Service to include the entire college community, and the coming age of the Mental Health Program--we recognize new and more effective ways to deliver health care to our college youth and their …

A Survey Of Laboratory Programs For First Year Medical Students, James L. Poland, Kenneth E. Guyer Jr., Hugo R. Seibel

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Basic science courses offered to freshmen medical students have been traditionally taught by didactic presentations and laboratory work. Various factors have prompted many departments to either markedly reduce the time allotted for the traditional, but more vulnerable, laboratory phase of these courses or drastically alter the content of the laboratory programs. Information concerning the desirability for such changes is incomplete and no evaluation has been developed to determine the effectiveness of change. Before beginning any further alterations in the laboratory programs at the Medical College of Virginia, it seemed desirable to determine anew what we wish to teach in the …

Neoplasms Of The Internal Auditory Canal, James R. Leonard, Marion L. Talbot

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Histopathological studies of tumors of the temporal bone are scarce. The authors examined a relatively large number of sectioned human temporal bones in search of small asymptomatic acoustic neurilemmomata and have reported the findings (Leonard and Talbot, 1970). During that search, several other neoplasms were encountered in the internal auditory canal. This report presents a clinical and pathological review of these lesions.

Gynecological Problems Of Adolescents, John A. Board

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In childhood, prior to adolescence, vaginal bleeding is only rarely a problem. During adolescence, however, vaginal bleeding (or the lack of it) is a common complaint.

Psychological Aspects Fo The Management Of Adolescents With Malignancy, Charlene P. Holton

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The approach to total patient care in a teenager with malignant disease represents one of the greatest challenges to any physician. To bridge the generation gap and communicate in an area of medicine where we cannot always cure, but often only palliate, guide, comfort and listen, is often difficult for we physicians who are so often taught only how to win therapeutic battles. Malignancy is the leading medical cause of death in the 10-21 year age group in the United States. Leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, bone and brain tumors are the most commonly encountered forms of cancer during this period (Heald, …

Group Sequential Methods For Clinical Trials Applied To The Logistic Regression Model, Joy Duci Mele

Theses and Dissertations

The objectives of this thesis are

1. to provide a comprehensive guide to using Pocock's group sequential method for clinical trials and

2. to show by computer simulations that the group sequential method is appropriate when using the logistic regression model.

In section 1.2, clinical trials are defined with an emphasis on Phase III clinical trials. The primary intent of sections 1.2 and 1.3 is to describe clinical trial characteristics which suggest that interim analyses are desirable. In section 1.4, it is shown that interim analyses should not consist of performing the usual significance tests. Chapter 1, then, describes the …
