Staff involved in the program incuded the gynecologists in charge of the clinic a mental health therapist affilated with the Mental Health Clinic at the Center 3 nurses and a health educator. The team trained themselves for their new tasks by reading pertinent literature visiting abortion clinics and adoption agencies and participating in workshops and discussion groups. During the initial phase clients who brought in urine specimens for pregnancy testing were requested to fill out a form which provided the counselors with needed background information.

The device is compact, lightweight, portable, cost-effective, and easy to operate. Therefore, it is suitable for screening large numbers of children in clinical settings, schools, and communities. PURPOSE This article introduces a new device attached to a smartphone for objective vision screening. It can detect and categorize significant refractive errors, anisometropia, strabismus, cloudy ocular media, and ptosis that may cause amblyopia. METHODS The new device applies the same principles as conventional streak retinoscopy but examines both eyes simultaneously and records the results electronically. The device comprises optical elements that produce a precise streak light beam and move it across a child's both eyes. The smartphone's video camera catches and records the motion of retinal reflex inside the child's pupils. By obser...

This may be contrasted with biological mothering, which is influenced by individual factors such as, for example, whether the child is wanted or unwanted. We should therefore not be discussing how much should a nurse emulate a mother but how much can a mother emulate a good nurse.

London. Bailliere Tindall & Cassell. 2nd ed. 1967. pp. 319. The first edition of Anderson's text was published in 1964. Since then he has retired from the Professorship of Psychiatry in Manchester, and his successor is co-editor of the second edition. This paperback is an excellent summary of traditional psychiatry from the British and European standpoints. It is well larded with vignettes of British and European psychiatric history. Throughout, wherever possible, the psychopathology is of the existentialist-Jaspers-Kurt-Schneider type. Students will find this a valuable book to scan when they wish to revise the ground they have covered, meanwhile remembering that, however good such summaries are, they cannot cover the whole field. This one skimps much which, on this continent, would be called dynamic and social psychiatry.

Muchos tratamientos han sido sugeridos para aliviar los sintomas, incluyendo el bloqueo en el drenaje de la lagrima para conseguir y mantener una buena pelicula lagrimal. Este articulo trata sobre la disponibilidad, diseno e insercion de los oclusores naso-lacrimales que actualmente se utilizan.

The incidence of corneal ulcers was low in the cosmetic (nontherapeutic) daily-wear soft and rigid gas-permeable lens wearers (1/1,923 and 1/1,471 patient-years, respectively). Corneal ulcers and severe adverse reactions occurred two to four times more frequently in extend ed-wear cosmetic soft and rigid gas-perme able lens wearers than in cosmetic daily-wear lens wearers. Aphakic extended-wear soft lens users were nine times more likely to develop a corneal ulcer when compared to the soft daily-wear cosmetic group. Corneal abra sions and keratitis accounted for 81 of 159 severe adverse reactions, whereas corneal ul cers accounted for 28 of 159 adverse reactions. The data indicate that overnight extended wear of contact lenses is associated with a greater risk of serious, sight-threatening com plications than daily wear.

Non‐Contact tonometer (NCT). Fifteen different, normal human eyes were each applanated 150 successive times with the NCT; leading to the conclusion that only minor, superficial corneal epithelial defects sometimes resulted and that, in line with other studies, the initially higher readings (about 1 mm), obtained with the NCT, were most likely due to patient apprehension, while the subsequently lower readings represented patient acceptance of the process and were not a result of true aqueous massage. As in an earlier study, we found the instrument's variability to be about ±1 or ±2 mm and probably due to the subject's own cardiac cycle.
