Treatment Modality And Quality Differences For Black And White Breast Cancer Patients Treated In Community Hospitals, Paula Diehr
Treatment Modality And Quality Differences For Black And White Breast Cancer Patients Treated In Community Hospitals, Paula Diehr
Paula Diehr
This study assessed the relationship of race and patterns of care, defined by an expert NCI-appointed committee, for 7,781 patients with breast cancer treated in 107 hospitals in 45 communities between 1982 and 1985. After control for age and stage of disease, black patients had significantly different care from white patients for four of the ten patterns examined. They were less likely to have a progesterone receptor assay or to be referred for postmastectomy rehabilitation, two patterns deemed desirable for all patients. Black patients were also more likely to receive liver scans and radiation therapy in situations in which these …

Confirmation Of The Structural Dimensionality Of The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (Fourth Edition), Gregory J. Boyle
Confirmation Of The Structural Dimensionality Of The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (Fourth Edition), Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
The new Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (fourth edition) seemingly represents an important advance in design and construction over the earlier form L-M. The latest version of the instrument (SB-IV) is purported to index both crystallized intelligence (Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning Areas) and fluid intelligence (Abstract/Visual Reasoning Area) structural dimensions respectively. Given the prominence of modem information processing theories of cognition, a separate Short-Term Memory (STM) Area is also provided. The authors provided confirmatory factor analytic (CFA) evidence to support their claim for the construct validity of each of the four cognitive ability areas. However, several inconsistent factor loadings were apparent, for …
Factor Structure Of The Differential Emotions Scale And The Eight State Questionnaire Revisited, Gregory J. Boyle
Factor Structure Of The Differential Emotions Scale And The Eight State Questionnaire Revisited, Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
The Differential Emotions Scale (DES-IV) and the Eight State Questionnaire (SSQ) are two separately developed multidimensional instruments purported to index simultaneously a number of fundamental emotional/mood states. The two instruments combined quantify some 20 primary mood states, which, in practice, may provide too complex a picture to be of benefit in many applied and research settings. Attempts to derive higher-order mood-state factors from both the DES-IV and the SSQ have yielded somewhat inconsistent results. In. this paper an attempt was made to resolve this issue by reanalysing data collected from 450 Australian tertiary college students. The results indicated that there …
Anomaly In Equation For Calculating 16pf Second Order Factor Qiii, Gregory J. Boyle
Anomaly In Equation For Calculating 16pf Second Order Factor Qiii, Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
Recently, the Institute for Personality and Ability Testing (IPAT) has released a new set of equations for calculating 16PF second-order factors. These revised equations were compared with the earlier ones provided in the l6PF Handbook, as well as with those used in the Clinical Analysis Questionnaire (CAQ) for computing the second-order trait dimensions. It was found that the earlier 16PF Handbook equation for calculating QIII (Tough Poise) was not accurate. It is recommended that only the new equations be employed in future work with the 16PF. Moreover, this finding may have implications for published studies involving the 16PF second-order factors …
Sex Differences In Reported Mood States, Gregory J. Boyle
Sex Differences In Reported Mood States, Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
It is generally agreed that females tend to assent more readily to negative mood states such as Anxiety or Depression, than do males. The present study explored this issue on a large sample of male and female Education undergraduate students, using the Eight State Questionnaire (8SQ) as the measure of mood states. Several studies had previously suggested that the 8SQ is a useful multidimensional instrument for quantifying a wide range of clinically important mood states. Results indicated that male and female students responded differentially to a minority of the 8SQ items, and that the factor structure of reported moods differed …
Dimensions Of Adolescent Motivation As Measured By Higher-Order Factors In The School Motivation Analysis Test, Gregory J. Boyle, K Brian Start, E John Hall
Dimensions Of Adolescent Motivation As Measured By Higher-Order Factors In The School Motivation Analysis Test, Gregory J. Boyle, K Brian Start, E John Hall
Gregory J. Boyle
Although previous analyses of higher-order motivational dimensions have suggested at least seven major dynamic traits among adults, corresponding analyses among adolescents have not yet been undertaken in any satisfactory manner. To this end, the present article reports the results of a higher-order factor analysis of the subscale intercorrelations for the School Motivation Analysis Test (SMAT) on an Australian sample of 277 Year I 0 students enrolled in various senior high schools. The results suggest that at least six factors maximally account for the common variance in the SMAT. Tentative interpretations of the higher-order factors obtained are made and discussed in …

The Social Impact Of Oral And Facial Pain In An Industrial Population, Rosnah Binti Zain
The Social Impact Of Oral And Facial Pain In An Industrial Population, Rosnah Binti Zain
Prof. Dr. Rosnah Binti Zain
The aim of this study is to determine the social impact of oral and facial pain in a sample involving an industrial population. Out of a total of 355 subjects interviewed, nearly one-half claimed to have oral and facial pain in the previous one month prior to the survey. The most common type of pain was that related to hot or cold fluids or sweet things followed by toothache. On the average, the pain lasted for 4.2 days (SD = 4.9) per person in the past one-month. About one in five persons with pain reported that it was severe enough …
Radiographic Features Of Periapical Cysts And Granulomas, Rosnah Binti Zain, Roswati N., Ismail K.
Radiographic Features Of Periapical Cysts And Granulomas, Rosnah Binti Zain, Roswati N., Ismail K.
Prof. Dr. Rosnah Binti Zain
Many studies have been reported on radiographic lesion sizes of periapical lesions. However no studies have been reported on prevalences of subjective radiographic features in these lesions except for the early assumption that a periapical cyst usually exhibit a radiopaque cortex. This study is conducted to evaluate the prevalences of several subjective radiographic features of periapical cysts and granulomas in the hope to identify features that maybe suggestive of either diagnosis. The results showed that a regular (circular or semi-circular) radiographic outline is likely to be a periapical cyst while an irregular radiographic outline is not indicative of either a …
Radiographic Evaluation Of Lesion Sizes Of Histologically Diagnosed Periapical Cysts And Granulomas, Rosnah Binti Zain, Roswati N., Ismail K.
Radiographic Evaluation Of Lesion Sizes Of Histologically Diagnosed Periapical Cysts And Granulomas, Rosnah Binti Zain, Roswati N., Ismail K.
Prof. Dr. Rosnah Binti Zain
A total of 149 periapical lesions were classified histologically into cysts, granulomas and other lesions. It was found that 53% were cysts, 39% were granulomas and 8% were other lesions. Of the 149 periapical lesions classified, 69 selected cases of cysts and granulomas were obtained and radiographic measurements of area (mm2), largest diameter (mm) and largest root-to-border distance (mm) were recorded. It was found that there is an apparent increase in cystic prevalence with an increase in the area, largest diameter or largest length of the periapical lesions radiographically. A cystic prevalence of 92-100% is observed with a radiographic area …
Oral Lichenoid Reactions During Antimalarial Prophylaxis With Sulphadoxine-Pyrimethamine Combination, Rosnah Binti Zain
Oral Lichenoid Reactions During Antimalarial Prophylaxis With Sulphadoxine-Pyrimethamine Combination, Rosnah Binti Zain
Prof. Dr. Rosnah Binti Zain
The prevalence of clinically observed oral lichenoid reaction in 186 Malay army personnel using Fansidar for 9 weeks was found to be 4.8%. The prevalence was found to be 0.5% in 186 army personnel who had stopped using Fansidar for 2 months and 0% in 143 army personnel (control group) who had not used Fansidar for at least 4 months. The lesion showed a higher prevalence for the gingiva. There was no correlation between cigarette smoking and the occurrence of these lesions in each group
Morphological Changes In Taste Buds Of The Fungiform Papillae After A Single Dose Of X-Ray Irradiation In Rats, Rosnah Binti Zain, Hanks C. T.
Morphological Changes In Taste Buds Of The Fungiform Papillae After A Single Dose Of X-Ray Irradiation In Rats, Rosnah Binti Zain, Hanks C. T.
Prof. Dr. Rosnah Binti Zain
The qualitative and quantitative changes occurring in the taste buds of the fungiform papillae of male Sprague-Dawley rats (aged 51-125 days old) after x-ray irradiation were studied. A single dose of 2000 Roentgen (R) was delivered and observations were made at 0, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 30 days after x-ray irradiation. The changes in taste bud morphology were interpreted first as degenerative and then as regenerative at various stages of the study. The degenerative process appeared at about the third day and reached a peak at 7 days. Regeneration then began after a further week and the taste buds …
Anger Symptomatology, Stress Reactivity, And Health Status Of Mid-Life Women, Sandra Thomas
Anger Symptomatology, Stress Reactivity, And Health Status Of Mid-Life Women, Sandra Thomas
Sandra Thomas
This study examined psychological, behavioral, environmental, and sociodemographic predictors of health status in 87 mid-life women participating in a longitudinal investigation. Correlates of good health were found to be an optimistic disposition, internal locus of control, education, income, employment outside the home, moderate exercise, and adequate sleep. Variables negatively related to health were stress, external locus of control, packyears of smoking, post-menopausal status, body mass index, and anger symptomatology. Age and social support variables were not related to health status, nor were the anger-in, anger-out, and anger-discuss modes of expressing anger. The regression model accounted for 56% of the variance …
