A model of disease and vaccination for infections with acute and chronic phases.

A general model is presented of a disease in which both recovered and vaccinated individuals are protected from acute disease, but are still susceptible to chronic infection. The special threshold conditions for the establishment and persistence of such a disease are derived and explained in full. The efficacies of alternative vaccination strategies are detailed and a specific example of such a disease is given by examining feline calicivirus (FCV), a cause of upper respiratory tract disease in cats.

Teaching biopsychosocial integration and formulation.

This paper describes the mental processes by which the psychiatrist organizes and integrates data to produce a case formulation. The biopsychosocial formulation uses three perspectives (biological, psychological and social) to view the data and integrates these viewpoints into one broad, complex and dynamic appreciation of the patient. Guidelines for creating and communicating a case formulation are proposed.

Mueller-Weiss syndrome: an uncommon cause of midfoot pain.

There are various osseous pathologies that afflict the tarsal navicular. These range from stress fractures and coalitions to overt fractures. In certain instances there is an interruption of its vascular supply. If this occurs in childhood, it is called Koehler's disease. Spontaneous osteonecrosis of the navicular in the adult is a rare entity and is known as Mueller-Weiss syndrome. There is little English literature available on the latter. A review of the literature and a case report are presented here.
