    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.

    Notes: Background: It has been hypothesized that changes in heating systems and insulation of homes in developed countries have generated an indoor climate favorable to organisms that excrete allergens inducing sensitization and allergic disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of the installation of highly insulated windows and central heating systems on indoor climate, and mite-allergen (Der f 1) and mold spore concentrations. Methods: The bedrooms of 98 apartments were examined before and 7 months (mean) after installation of insulated windows and central heating systems. The air-exchange rate, temperature, and humidity were measured. In settled dust on carpets and mattresses, the number of colony-forming mold spores and the Der f 1 concentration were determined. The inhabitants completed a questionnaire about their lifestyles and housing conditions. Results: The air-exchange rate decreased from geometric mean 0.73 to 0.52 per hour (P=0.029). Temperature (mean 13.4 vs 17.5°C, P〈0.001), and absolute humidity (mean 4.6 g vs 6.2 g H2O/kg air, P〈0.001) increased. Relative humidity remained nearly unchanged (mean 47.6 vs 49.1%). Der f 1 concentrations on carpets (geometric mean 0.65 vs 1.28 μg/g dust, P〈0.001) and mattresses (geometric mean 1.56 vs 2.40 μg/g, P=0.002) increased. Among the fungi that were analyzed, only the thermotolerant species Aspergillus fumigatus increased (geometric mean 20 vs 60 colony-forming units/g carpet dust, P=0.02). Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that the installation of insulated windows and central heating systems is associated with an increase of Der f 1 concentrations in carpet and mattress dust and A. fumigatus in carpet dust in apartment bedrooms.

    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die von Ghosh und Lardy beschriebene Hemmung des Pasteur-Effektes an der Hefe durch elementaren Schwefel ist keine echte Hemmung des Pasteureffektes. Die Gärungssteigerung wird durch Schwefelwasserstoff hervorgerufen, der aus elementarem Schwefel von der Hefe gebildet wird. Der Schwefelwasserstoff verursacht in bekannter Weise eine Atmungshemmung und steigert dadurch die Gärung. Die Atmungshemmung entgeht der Beobachtung, wenn die Messung der Sauerstoffaufnahme in Anwesenheit von Kalilauge erfolgt, da Kalilauge auch H2S absorbiert. Gärungssteigernde Extrakte konnten nach dem von Ghosh und Lardy angegebenen Verfahren regelmäßig aus Walker-Tumoren gewonnen werden. Jensen-Tumoren gaben nur zu 60% wirksame Extrakte. Aus mehreren Nieren-, Milz- und einer Muskelaufarbeitung wurden entgegen den Befunden von Ghosh und Lardy kräftig wirksame Auszüge hergestellt.

    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.

    Notes: Abstract When intracerebral space-occupying lesions are small or located deeply within the brain parenchyma, it is sometimes difficult to localize them at surgery or to design the most direct and least hazardous surgical approach. Therefore, we have developed a method that combines conventional neurosurgical techniques with craniotomy using stereotactic guidance. We have used the Brown-Roberts-Wells (BRW) stereotactic system, which allows for computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance and does not interfere with the absolute sterility mandatory each time a flap is created. Eleven patients were operated on using this method. The deep tumors were approached through a linear incision of the cerebral cortex. Then a needle, fixed in the right position on the arc system of the BRW, was inserted toward the surface of the lesion; the exposure was finally widened by inflation of a rubber balloon set on the stereotactic needle. This technique allows the two lips of the cortical incision to be glued at the end of the operation. Gluing with a fibrin glue avoids the postoperative subdural collections that often develop when the ventricle has been opened. Except for one case, the post-operative course was uncomplicated in these patients. No permanent postoperative neurological worsening was observed even after the removal of an intrathalamic tumor.

    Notes: Abstract Sixty-four malignant hemispheric tumors in children less than 15 years old were treated in the pediatric neurosurgical department of the H ôpital des Enfants Malades between 1970 and 1989. (1) These tumors evolved rapidly in most cases. However the pre-operative evolution in 20% of the patients had a duration of more than 6 months, which favors the hypothesis that at least one-fifth of these tumors result from malignant transformation of a benign lesion. This observation should prompt neurosurgeons to operate on all benign hemispheric tumors as soon as they are diagnosed. (2) Five of the 64 patients had two successive malignant diseases. In four cases the other malignant disease was an acute lymphoblastic leukemia. (3) Among the malignant hemispheric tumors, the grade III and IV astrocytomas had a dismal prognosis. As it is known from previous studies that grade I and II astrocytomas have a good prognosis in children, it can be concluded that grading these tumors is essential. By contrast, almost one out of two patients with malignant ependymoma was alive 5 years after treatment. This implies that the grading of ependymomas is of modest prognostic values. (4) The harmful effect of radiotherapy was evaluated by comparing the functional outcome of children operated for a benign hemispheric tumor to that of children operated and irradiated for a malignant hemispheric tumor.

    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.
