    Notes: Objective: To explore the psychosocial effects of infertility and the role that social support plays over time. The major hypothesis was that although infertile persons report less contentment, lower levels of marital and sexual satisfaction, and lower self-esteem over time, those with higher levels of social support will be less affected Design/Setting: Four questionnaires were completed in subjects' own homes, one every 9 months. Participants: Subjects, all of whom perceived themselves as infertile, were recruited through the national newsletter for an infertility support group. Ninety-four subjects entered the study, and 41% of the sample completed it. Main outcome measures: Contentment, marital satisfaction, sexual satisfaction, self-esteem, sex-role identity, press (the measure of perceived internal and external pressures), and social support. Results: Perceived support (F [3,111] = 4.77, p 〈 0.004), as well as contentment and self-esteem, significantly increased over time (F[3,1111 = 12.03, p 〈 0.0001, andF [3, 1111 = 5.378, p 〈 0.002, respectively). Social support was positively correlated with all dependent measures. Conclusions: Contrary to what was hypothesized, infertile persons experienced increased social support and greater contentment over time. As hypothesized, there was a significant positive relationship between social support and all dependent measures. The positive impact of social support, counseling, and the adoption of strategies to deal with the stress of infertility lends credence to the crucial role nurses can play in helping infertile couples cope.

    Notes: Two groups of subjects (couples seeking medical treatment for infertility and couples not yet attempting to conceive) completed questionnaires assessing the impact of infertility on their marriages and self-concept. Infertile individuals experienced greater dissatisfaction with themselves and their marriages. Females experienced greater discontent over time and had greater emotional investment than males. Infertile couples, labeled noncommunicators, were found to be affected even more by infertility. Nurses can play vital roles in counseling infertile couples.

    Pericerebral collections after shunting (1987)

    Notes: Abstract Nineteen pericerebral collections (18 subdural and 1 epidural) occurred in a series of 682 consecutive initial shunt insertions for hydrocephalus in children, performed between 1976 and 1984. No collections were observed in 358 reoperations performed in the same patients during the same period. The incidence rate of this complication is nearly four times higher after 2 years of age than in younger children (6.5% versus 1.7%). The rate is also higher, regardless of age, in noncommunicating than in communicating hydrocephalus. Pericerebral collections are observed with high- as well as low-closing pressure valves. Pericerebral collections after shunting were diagnosed in 80% of the cases less than 2 months after surgery. They were asymptomatic in nearly 60% of the cases but could become symptomatic later when they were not treated. At the onset at least, these pericerebral collections are compensated by the outflow of an equal quantity of intraventricular CSF so that ICP is only moderately elevated. Postshunt pericerebral collections may be the consequence of CSF loss at the time of surgery. In most cases, however, they are due to a CSF overdrainage by the valve. This overdrainage, together with the reversal of CSF flow in the highly resistant CSF pathways of hydrocephalus, establishes a pressure lower in the ventricles than in the subarachnoid space and tends to open up the subdural space. The treatment of postshunt subdural collections is the insertion of a simple tubing without valve between the subdural space and the peritoneum, the ventriculoperitoneal shunt being left in place. With this treatment, more than 80% of the collections disappeared or were improved. No complications or secondary aggravation were observed in any of these patients.

    Intellectual outcome in children with malignant tumors of the posterior fossa: influence of the field of irradiation and quality of surgery (1995)

    Notes: Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the respective parts played by cerebral hemisphere irradiation, posterior fossa irradiation, and surgery in the poor late functional results often observed in children treated for medulloblastoma. To do this we compared the intellectual outcome in a series of 59 children operated on for medulloblastoma, who had received whole-brain irradiation, to that observed in a series of 37 children operated on for ependymoma of the posterior fossa, who had received radiotherapy only on the posterior fossa. Only patients who had survived for more than 2 years without recurrence were included. At the assessment 1 year after treatment, intellectual outcome was somewhat better in the ependymoma group, but the difference was not statistically significant. At the long-term follow-ups at 5 and 10 years the results remained stable in the children treated for ependymoma, around 60% having an IQ above 90, whereas the intellectual level of the children treated for medulloblastoma was seen to have deteriorated progressively: 20% had an IQ above 90 5 years after treatment and only 10% at the 10-year followup. This progressive degradation is most likely due to the irradiation of the cerebral hemispheres, as this prophylactic irradiation constituted the only difference between the two groups. Moreover, irradiation to the posterior fossa did not seem to affect intellectual functions, since in the group of children with ependymomas the proportion of IQs above 90 was high and remained stable over the years. Surgery was certainly responsible for some poor results. The percentage of IQs above 90 observed 1–2 years after treatment was between 70 and 80 when no postoperative complications occurred, and only between 20–40% in the presence of postoperative complications. Postoperative aggravation was in most cases related to a brain-stem lesion. These results encourage the reduction, when possible, of irradiation to the cerebral hemispheres and underline the importance of the quality of surgery.

    New Species of Human Tyrosine Hydroxylase mRNA Are Produced in Variable Amounts in Adrenal Medulla and Are Overexpressed in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (1996)

    Notes: Abstract: Alternative splicing of human tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) pre-mRNA produces four mRNAs leading to four different TH isoforms and is thought to have important regulatory functions. We show that the diversity of TH mRNAs is greater than previously described in the autonomous nervous system: New splice junctions corresponding to the skipping of exon 3 were identified by amplification of cDNA synthesized from pheochromocytoma RNA. In all cases the reading frame was maintained. These species were assayed by RNase protection experiments; their abundance (4–6%) was comparable to that of the previously identified human TH-3 and -4 species in normal adrenal medulla. However, higher levels (11–34%) of these species were found in adrenal medullas of patients suffering from progressive supranuclear palsy. Whether such changes are specific to the disease or the consequences of the stress associated with this severe neurodegeneration remains to be established.

    Theoretical treatment of predissociation of the (4pσ) 1,3Πu rovibrational levels in the spectrum of the oxygen molecule (1998)
    College Park, Md. : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Notes: Ab initio configuration interaction calculations are carried out for eight low-lying 1,3Πu and four 1Δu states of the O2 molecule. Three different types of couplings are considered: nonadiabatic, spin–orbit, and rotational, and the complex scaling method has been employed to determine rovibrational energies and wave functions. The calculations correctly predict a large number of trends in the measured level locations, predissociation linewidths, rotational constants, and line intensities for the (4pσ) 1,3Πu states. It is found that the v=1 level has the lowest frequency and strongest absorption intensity among the four observed vibrational levels of the (4pσ) 3Πu state, while the v=2 has the broadest predissociation linewidth and v=0, the smallest rotational constant, all in agreement with experimental findings. The linewidth of the v=0 level of the 1Πu state is computed to be 0.01 cm−1, consistent with the measured value of less than 0.1 cm−1. The calculations indicate that the v=0 level of the (4pσ) 1Πu state borrows intensity from the allowed (4pσ) 3Πu–X 3Σg− through spin–orbit interaction and that the v=4 level of the (4pσ) 3Π1u component, which has not yet been identified experimentally, is strongly perturbed by the v=3 level of the (4pσ) 1Πu state. The L-uncoupling-type interaction between 1Πu and 1Δu states is also studied, and the explanation for the missing lines of the v=0, J≥2 rovibrational levels of the (4pσ) 1Πu states is sought based on the calculated results. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Luminescent Sr1−xErxF2+x thin films grown on InP(100) substrates. II. Optical properties (1995)

    Notes: Photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence studies, performed at room temperature, on Sr1−xErxF2+x/InP(100) layers exhibit strong light emissions in both the visible range and in the infrared domain. It is shown that in the visible range the highest intensities were found for x=0.02, while for the 4I13/2→4I15/2 infrared emission (1.53 μm) the maximum of luminescence was found for x close to 0.2. For a 4I15/2→4I11/2 (980 nm) excitation, up conversion leads to visible light emissions (red and green). A photoluminescence study at low temperature (2 K) shows that, due to the low growth temperature of the layers, the Er3+ environment is more simple than in bulk crystals. For x=0.03 a single charge compensated Er3+ ion site was evidenced. Up to x=0,15 this site predominates but a clustering process is evidenced. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
