    Carotid surgery without arteriography: Noninvasive selection of patients (1991)
    Springer
    Annals of vascular surgery 5 (1991), S. 253-256

    Notes: Abstract All carotid noninvasive studies at our institution comprised of duplex scanning, spectral frequency analysis, and ocular-pneumoplethysmography-Gee supraorbital Doppler assessments from 1985–1987 were reviewed. Forty symptomatic and 104 asymptomatic internal carotid arteries, concomitantly studied noninvasively and arteriographically, were identified. All studies were rereviewed prospectively and in blinded fashion. Utilizing peak frequency—internal carotid artery 〉10 mHz and carotid index (Pf-ICA)/PF-common carotid) 〉5 as criteria for surgery, 39/40 symptomatic internal carotid arteries were considered appropriate for carotid endarterectomy by noninvasive study. All of these internal carotid arteries had arteriographic confirmation of 〉50% internal carotid artery stenosis; 22 of them met noninvasive criteria for surgery of peak systolic frequency-internal carotid artery 14 mHz, carotid index 〉7 and abnormal ocular-pneumoplethysmography-Gee supraorbital Doppler. All of these had arteriographic confirmation of 〉80% internal carotid artery stenosis. Eleven asymptomatic internal carotid arteries met spectral frequency criteria for carotid endarterectomy but had normal ocular-pneumoplethysomgraphy-Gee/supraorbital Doppler. Eight in this group had 〈80% stenosis on arteriographic exam. Carotid endarterectomy may be performed without prior arteriography, provided objective criteria are established in a reliable noninvasive lab and met by individual patients.

    Faculty behavior in low-paradigm versus high-paradigm disciplines: A case study (1978)
    Springer
    Research in higher education 8 (1978), S. 169-175 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-188X
    Keywords: faculty characteristics ; faculty behavior

    Notes: Abstract The notion of academic disciplines being characterized as high- or low-paradigm technologies was developed by Lodahl and Gordon from Kuhn's concept of a paradigm. Using this concept, the voting pattern of high-paradigm faculty (chemistry, physics, mathematics, and engineering) was compared to low-paradigm faculty (sociology, political science, history, and education) concerning a controversial campus issue to liberalize curriculum choices for students. It was found that high-paradigm faculty were not willing to grant students more latitude to select courses for degree requirements, while low-paradigm faculty members were in favor of giving students more latitude to select academic courses for degree requirements. The unique aspect of this study is that faculty behavior, as described in an actual case study, corresponds to theoretical positions supported by questionnaire data.

    Registration of lung cancer in Scotland: an assessment of data accuracy based on review of medical records (1995)
    Springer
    Cancer causes & control 6 (1995), S. 303-310 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-7225
    Keywords: Data collection ; data reliability and validity ; lung neoplasms ; quality control ; registries ; Scotland

    Notes: Lung cancer represents a major public health problem in Scotland. Cancer registration data permit the approximate incidence of this disease to be measured directly and the projected incidence to be modelled. Thus, in addition to epidemiologic studies and survival analyses, cancer registration data may be used for planning and monitoring relevant health services. Since the value of the data depends on their quality, we undertook a largescale study of the accuracy of cancer registration data in Scotland. The medical records of a random sample of cancer registrations attributed to the year 1990 were sought. The sample contained 340 registrations of lung cancer, 309 (91 percent) of which had relevant medical records available for scrutiny. Registration details were reabstracted from available records and compared with data in the registry. Results revealed 19 discrepancies in identifying items of data (surname, forename, gender, and date of birth) involving 16 (5.2 percent) patients. Most were trivial and would not disturb record linkage. Discrepancy rates were found to be: 7.8 percent in postcode of residence at the time of diagnosis, 10 percent in ‘anniversary date’ (excluding differences of six weeks or less), 12.5 percent in histologic verification status; 4.2 percent in ICD-9 site code (the first three digits), and 15.5 percent in four digit ICD-O morphology code (excluding ‘inferred’ morphology codes). This relatively high level of accuracy gives weight to routinely published incidence figures and supports the use of these data for exploratory epidemiologic studies, assessment of health care needs, and calculation of survival.
