    Empirically derived pain-patient MMPI subgroups: Prediction of treatment outcome (1986)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract Fifty-seven male chronic pain patients admitted to an inpatient multimodal pain treatment program at a Midwestern Veterans Administration hospital completed the MMPI, Profile of Mood States (POMS), Tennessee Self-Concept Scale (TSCS), Rathus Assertiveness Schedule (RAS), activity diaries, and an extensive pain questionnaire. All patients were assessed both before and after treatment, and most also were assessed 2–5 months prior to treatment. No significant changes occurred during the baseline period, but significant improvements were evident at posttreatment on most variables: MMPI, POMS, TSCS, RAS, pain severity, sexual functioning, and activity diaries. MMPI subgroup membership, based on a hierarchical cluster analysis in a larger sample, was not predictive of differential treatment outcome. Possible reasons for comparable treatment gains among these subgroups, which previously have been shown to differ on many psychological and behavioral factors, are discussed.

    Cluster analysis of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) profiles in a chronic headache population (1987)
    Springer
    Journal of behavioral medicine 10 (1987), S. 49-60

    Notes: Abstract Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) profiles from 123 chronic headache sufferers (48 migraine, 47 muscle contraction, 28 mixed) were cluster analyzed in order (1) to replicate results from other pain populations and (2) to examine differences among the clusters along headache parameters and demographic variables. Four homogeneous subgroups were obtained and a multiple discriminant analysis was successful in correctly classifying 97.56% of the headache subjects. Obtained clusters closely resembled those evidenced in previous pain research. Results indicated that diagnostic category was unrelated to cluster membership; however, frequency of headache occurrence was a differentiating factor. Implications for headache treatment and future research are discussed.

    Light and dark uptake and loss of 14C: methodological problems with productivity measurements in oceanic waters (1989)

    Notes: Abstract Measurements of the uptake and loss of 4C in the light and in the dark in the Tasman and Coral Seas have revealed methodological problems with the estimation of productivity in these waters. Rates of productivity estimated without replication, time series incubations and dark controls frequently overestimated the true rates of autotrophic production. The data showed unexpectedly high rates of both uptake and loss in the dark in oligotrophic waters. In oligotrophic oceanic waters, dark incorporation of 14C sometimes equalled the uptake of 14C in the light bottle. Rapid uptake of isotope in the dark controls appeared to be the result of rapid bacterial growth and metabolism. This problem was exacerbated by agitation of the sample before or during the incubation. Tropical samples were particularly susceptible to problems arising from the agitation of the samples. Latitudinal gradients of dark uptake and loss were revealed in these incubations. The loss of label during 8–12 hours in the dark (after 12 hr in the light) was as high as 50% in subtropical waters. The loss was frequently unmeasurable (〈 10%) in temperate waters. The time course of 14C uptake indicated active grazing in the bottles and suggested that most of the nighttime losses of label were due to grazing by microheterotrophs. Respiratory losses appeared to be small. Calculated values of the assimilation number (or photosynthetic capacity) which did not correct for dark 14C uptake were too high to be biochemically realistic. The errors were due to the heterotrophic uptake of label and the lack of dark controls. Rapid release of 14C in the dark after incubation in the light meant that the estimate of ‘productivity’ was dependant on the trophic state of the sample and on the period of incubation.
