Staying well. Factors contributing to successful community adaptation.

1. Friends were rated as the most important factor in assisting former psychiatric patients to avoid rehospitalization. 2. When respondents were asked to comment on rehospitalization in their own words, the most frequent responses dealt with factors related to keeping active, developing a healthy lifestyle and positive self-image, and accepting their illness. 3. Self-help groups, community health workers, and community nurses were rated as the least beneficial in preventing rehospitalization.

Intensive care for respiratory failure in Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Although relatively uncommon, Guillain-Barré syndrome remains the most frequent cause of sudden weakness in persons under the age of 40 years. While most patients enjoy spontaneous resolution of their neurologic deficits, death still occurs in some individuals who suffer secondary complications from profound respiratory muscle weakness. This review of patients with ascending paralysis who required intubation and mechanical ventilation underscores that the major factors which contribute to death and morbidity can be anticipated and largely avoided using a vigilant multidisciplinary approach.

Outpatient in vitro fertilization using transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval.

Of 80 patients who initiated in vitro fertilization cycles in an integrated outpatient facility, 61 had oocyte retrievals performed under local anesthesia with ultrasound-guided transvaginal aspiration of ovarian follicles. Ten patients conceived, all in the group of 49 who had human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-timed retrievals. Our results indicate that in vitro fertilization can be performed to a high standard with this method, with excellent patient acceptance and reduced cost without general anesthesia, laparoscopy, or in-hospital setting.
