Effectiveness of an intensive stress intervention workshop for senior managers

This study investigates the efficacy of an intensive, integrated approach to stress reduction and coping enhancement directed towards an educated, upper level management population. Ninety‐five US governmental senior managers participated in a 35‐h stress management retreat held over a 3.5‐day period. The retreat combined didactic and experiential activities that were designed to increase participants' knowledge of stress liabilities and coping skills. Participants were encouraged to make positive lifestyle changes and to create specific action plans for the year following the workshop. Evaluations of participant satisfaction were completed at the close of the workshop. Eighty‐three participants completed baseline and follow‐up Stress and Coping Inventory (SCI) assessments in order to identify durable changes in these measures. Across 10 months, participants showed significant improvements in their overall Global Balance scores, psychological symptoms, depression symptoms, and all major coping scales, including Health Habits, Social Support, Responses to Stress and Life Satisfactions. Therefore, an intensive, multifaceted approach to stress intervention is a viable option for encouraging sustained behavioural change. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Psychosocial effects of vitiligo

A limited number of studies have paid attention to the psychosocial well-being of patients affected with vitiligo. We review the psychosocial effects of vitiligo, how patients deal with them and the psychiatric morbidity in vitiligo patients. Given the appreciable comorbidity, it is important to consider these observations in the management of patients, for example in patient-physician interaction but also in treatment strategies and evaluation of treatments. The effects of the psychological state on the disease itself together with the potential therapeutic implications are reviewed. Based on these data, we suggest how to further improve patient's management.

胆囊小隆起性病变的诊断及治疗

报告37例胆囊小隆起性病变，其中良性颈变34例，胆囊癌3例。结果：本组23例有临床症状，多表现为反复发作的右上腹疼痛或不适；病灶部位，大小，多少，有无合并胆石及病变性质与临床症状有关；B-us,OCG,CT的诊断符合率例如辚33／37，9／24和5／10（x^2=18.75,P<0.005)。认为对胆囊小隆起性病变的病灶≥10mm，有增大趋势，呈恶性图像，合并胆石或血清CEA升高的病例应及早手术治疗。     

老年主动脉瓣闭锁不全的彩色多普勒超声心动图研究

报告接受彩色多普勒超声心动图检查的老年患者162例，其中75例有不同程度的主要动脉瓣关闭不全（Ar)。老年（Ar)的病因构成与中，老年前期者明显不同，主动脉，瓣钙化及原因不明者的比例占多数（67％）。主动脉瓣钙化者Ar程度多较重。主动脉瓣钙化及原因不明Ar患者的其他三个瓣膜返流检出率及和程度均明显高于无Ar的老年患者。表明多瓣膜退行性病变是此类Ar患者的原因之一。
