摘要:

Comprehensive neuropsychologic assessments were done for children in continuous remission from acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) following either chemotherapy alone (N = 14) or chemotherapy combined with prophylactic cranial radiation (N = 19). Only 5 of 75 neuropsychologic variables were found to differ at the .05 level for these two groups; trends were seen (p<. 10) on two additional variables. The data indicate few if any meaningful differences related to the presence or absence of radiation therapy, although the differences that were seen occurred on tasks for which other authors have suggested diminished ability as a result of cranial radiation. Additional analysis failed to reveal any effects related to the age at which prophylactic radiation was received.

摘要:

Published reports of toxic hallucinosis during treatment with methylphenidate are rare. Two cases are described, and it is suggested that methylphenidate-induced hallucinosis is more common than has been appreciated. Symptoms may be understood in terms of dose-related effects at pre- and postsynaptic receptors. Two other hypotheses that may clarify underlying mechanisms of action that produce toxic effects relate to (1) noradrenergic facilitation of transmission of information in the visual pathway, and (2) interactions among brain monoamine systems.

摘要:

Studies of the child-rearing competency of mentally retarded parents are few and based primarily on deinstitutionalized populations; results have been equivocal. A checklist devised to assess intellectual limitation in parents led to the identification of 45 families with an intellectually limited parent in the course of evaluations of 370 children in a pediatric developemental clinic. It became evident that the presence of a benefactor was crucial in enabling limited parents to meet community expectations. Identification of parental limitations is seen as a prerequisite to essential modification in service delivery to both parents and children.

摘要:

The postpartum period represents a time when families need and are most receptive to both support and factual information concerning the care and well-being of their infant. This pilot study explored and compared informational issues that mothers and health care providers considered essential to pediatricians' postpartum discussions with parents. Mothers (N = 25), pediatricians (N = 15), pediatric residents (N = 12), and nurses (N = 20) assigned rankings to informational issues generated by their respective peers. Although there were some congruencies, consumer and provider expectations and priorities did not always coincide. In addition, observations of 14 postpartum conseling sessions revealed discrepancies between pediatricians' stated priorties and actual interview content. It is suggested that the priorities found in this study can be used in developing a curriculum for residents and students in the area of postpartum education and counseling.
