    Notes: Person-environment congruence, as defined in this series of studies, is the fit between the subordinate's perceptions of the requirements of the job, and the requirements of the supervisor or of the organization. Person-environment congruence is measured in this research by the Performance Priority Survey (PPS), a Q-sort procedure in which respondents rate the relative importance of work behaviors. The priorities of the organization (reported by supervisors) and the priorities of the subordinates (or applicants) are correlated to produce an agreement score. The agreement score for each supervisor-subordinate pair measures the degree of similarity between the perceptions of the relative importance of work behaviors for the job in question, as reported by both members of the pair. The agreement score is calculated in two ways: (a) between the report of the subordinate (or applicant) and the report of the immediate supervisor, and (b) between the report of the subordinate (or applicant) and the organizational culture (aggregated reports of supervisors). The agreement scores correlate significantly with performance ratings. The PPS has a lower adverse impact on African-Americans than a typical multiple-choice test. The PPS is proposed as a means for improving the validity of selection and for reducing adverse impact.

    Notes: Improving patients’ postoperative sleep: a randomized control study comparing subcutaneous with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia One hundred female patients undergoing major reconstructive plastic or gynaecological surgery were randomized to either receive subcutaneous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) (bolus dose 2·5 mg diamorphine in 1 ml with a 20-minute lockout) or intravenous PCA (bolus dose 0·5 mg diamorphine in 1 ml with a 5-minute lockout). Data were collected by questionnaire and interview to evaluate the intervention on pain scores, quality of sleep on the first postoperative night, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and overall patient acceptability. The subcutaneous PCA group experienced less ‘worse pain’ (P 〈 0·01) and less sleep disturbance due to pain (P 〈 0·001). Subcutaneous PCA would appear to offer patients a safe and effective means of analgesia and may offer significant advantages over the intravenous route of administration.

    Recourse and the Principle of Non Lex Sed Corruptio Legis (1997)

    Notes: In his discussion of the nature of law St Thomas Aquinas cites St Augustine's principle that an unjust law ceases by that very fact to be a truly binding one, and this remark provides us with a useful springboard for a discussion of how different institutions have dealt with the occurrence of such a problem within their own systems. There are two principal factispecies envisaged when we deal with such a scenario within the Christian community; when a law has been interpreted erroneously by its officers and when the law is applied by the administration with a rigidity that exceeds the intention of the legislator. In these circumstances, it is arguable that we are dealing not with true law as such but with the corruption of law, non lex seil corruptio legis. The expression corruptio legis is here understood not in a subjective but in an objective sense, i.e. it is not to be understood to refer to the administration or the officials that apply the law but to the legal norm itself. The issues raised by the principle, non lex sed corruptio legis, are not simply ethical but also legal, and the important resolution in Augustine and Aquinas offers a useful window into one of the central problems of comparative administrative law.

    Inversion of Thick-Target Bremsstrahlung Spectra from Nonuniformly Ionised Plasmas (1998)

    Notes: Abstract The effects of non-uniform plasma target ionisation on the spectrum of thick-target HXR bremsstrahlung from a non-thermal electron beam are analysed. In particular the effect of the target ionisation structure on beam collisional energy losses, and hence on inversion of an observed photon spectrum to yield the electron injection spectrum, is considered and results compared with those obtained under the usual assumption of a fully ionised target. The problem is formulated and solved in principle for a general target ionisation structure, then discussed in detail for the case of a step function distribution of ionisation with column depth as an approximation to the sharp coronal–chromospheric step structure in solar flare plasmas. It is found that such ionisation structure has very dramatic effects on derivation of the thick-target electron injection spectrum F0(E0) as compared with the result F*0(E 0) obtained under the usual assumption of a fully ionised target: (a) Inferred F*0 contain more electrons than F 0 and in some cases include electrons at energies where none are actually present. Although the total (energy-integrated) beam fluxes in the two cases do not differ by a factor of more than Aee/AeH, the spectral shapes can differ greatly over finite energy intervals resulting in the danger of misleading results for total fluxes obtained by extrapolation. (b) The unconstrained mathematical solution for F0 for any photon spectrum is never unique, while that for F*0 is unique. When the physical constraint F0 ≥ 0 is added, for some photon spectra solutions for F0 may not exist or may not be unique. (This is not an effect of noise but of real analytic ambiguity.) (c) For data corresponding to F*0 with a low-energy cut-off, or a cut-off or rapid enough exponential decline at high energies, a unique solution F0 does exist and we obtain a recursive summation for its evaluation. Consequently, in future work on the inversion of HXR bremsstrahlung spectra it will be vital for algorithms to include the effects of target ionisation if spurious results on thick-target electron spectra are not to be inferred. Finally it is pointed out that the depth of the transition zone, and its evaporative evolution during flares may be derivable from its effect on the HXR spectrum.

    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: The pathophysiology of anal fissure remains poorly understood. This study examines manometric findings in patients with anal fissure with use of a computer-assisted system, which helps to standardize manometric performance as well as generating longitudinal and cross-sectional profiles of the anal canal. METHODS: Water-perfused, eight-channel, computer-assisted manometry was performed on 12 patients with chronic anal fissure and compared with 12 age-matched and sex-matched controls. RESULTS: Mean maximum average resting pressure (MARP) was 120.5 mmHg in patients and 82.6 mmHg in controls (P =0.0005). Pain was felt during manometry in six patients. In these patients, MARP was 123.2 mmHg, and, in the other six patients, MARP was 117.8 mmHg. Sphincter length was 4.72 cm, and the high pressure zone or that part of the sphincter with pressure more than 50 percent of MARP) was 2.78 cm in length. The high pressure zone/sphincter length ratio was 58 percent compared with 48 percent in controls. Longitudinal profile was bell shaped. Elevated pressures were not confined to the site of the fissure. Cross-sectional analysis showed higher anterior pressures in the distal sphincter. Utraslow waves were seen in as many as 91 percent of patients and 73 percent of controls. However, ultraslow wave amplitude was 31 mmHg in patients and 15 mmHg in controls (P =0.03). The rectoanal reflex was normal; overshoot was not seen. CONCLUSIONS: The primary abnormality in fissure is persistent hypertonia affecting the entire internal sphincter, unrelated to pain. Cross-sectional pressure profiles may explain the predilection of fissures to occur in the posterior midline; other factors must prevent chronic fissures from healing.

    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: Our aim was to determine manometric status and functional outcome of the ileoanal pouch procedure in a subset of patients with defunctionalized anal sphincters as a result of long-term fecal diversion. METHODS: The anal manometric profiles of 12 patients defunctionalized for one year or more were compared with 26 patients with nondefunctionalized anal sphincters. Functional data were obtained from the Lahey Clinic Ileoanal Pouch Registry. RESULTS: Preoperative manometric data revealed a mean resting pressure of 91.5 mmHg in the nondefunctionalized group vs.68.7 mmHg in the defunctionalized group; mean squeezing pressure was 171.7 mmHg (nondefunctionalized group) vs.102.3 mmHg (defunctionalized group); and squeezing pressure volume was 1,283,000 mmHg 3 (nondefunctionalized group)vs.585,000 mmHg 3 (defunctionalized group). Functionally both groups had a mean of 6.1 bowel movements in a 24-hour period and could defer defecation for a mean of 2 hours. Leakage occurred in 22 percent of the defunctionalized group and 17 percent of the nondefunctionalized group (P=0.35). CONCLUSION: Despite physiologic perturbations, the long-term, defunctionalized anal sphincter can adequately support a restorative procedure without regard to timing of pouch creation.

    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: This study was undertaken to determine the role of abnormal distal rectoanal excitatory reflex (RAER) as a marker of pudendal neuropathy and to compare results with pudendal nerve terminal motor latency (PNTML) and single fiber density (SFD) estimation. METHODS: Fifteen female patients (mean age, 47.1 (range, 20–70) years) referred to the pelvic floor laboratory with pelvic floor disorders (fecal incontinence, 13 patients; constipation, 2 patients) were evaluated prospectively with neurophysiologic tests and balloon reflex manometry for evidence of pudendal neuropathy. RESULTS: Pudendal nerve terminal motor latency provided evidence of pudendal neuropathy in ten patients (67 percent) and was normal in five patients (33 percent). Increased SFD confirmed denervation of the external anal sphincter in 12 patients (80 percent), being normal in 3 patients (20 percent). Distal RAER was abnormal in 13 patients (87 percent) and was normal in 2 patients (13 percent). In ten patients (67 percent), the three diagnostic modalities were in complete agreement, correctly identifying neuropathy in nine patients (60 percent) and excluding nerve damage in one patient (7 percent). Distal RAER was normal despite prolonged PNTML and increased SFD in one patient (7 percent). In two patients (13 percent), distal RAER was abnormal or absent despite normal PNTML and SFD. Pudendal nerve terminal motor latency was normal in the presence of abnormal distal RAER and increased SFD on electromyography in two patients (13 percent). CONCLUSIONS: Abnormal distal RAER compares favorably with current neurophysiologic tests used to diagnose pudendal neuropathy.
