How illness presents: a study in the People's Republic of China.

Twenty-six patients were interviewed in five clinics at the Hunan Medical School in the People's Republic of China to assess the degree to which patients presenting with medical problems had primarily underlying psychological and social concerns. Patients in all five clinics (paediatrics, internal medicine, otolaryngology, urology and gynaecology) demonstrated a high degree of non-medical concerns. Fear of cancer was common. Many patients mentioned concerns about their children, sexual problems, or other family problems. Both patients and physicians seemed to be comfortable discussing the patients' personal problems and concerns. A medical presentation of psychosocial concerns was as common in China as it is in the United States.

Depression in Chinese medical inpatients.

The authors studied depressive symptoms among 251 Chinese medical inpatients through the use of the Beck Depression Inventory. Assessment of 100 healthy Chinese volunteers validated the use of American score norms for Chinese subjects. A total of 47.8% of the 251 medical inpatients (N = 120) met the Beck scale criterion for depression. Beck scale scores varied with the occupation of patients and the severity of medical illness but did not vary with sex, age, marital status, duration of hospitalization, or medical diagnosis.

Neuropsychological status of patients with congenital and rheumatic heart diseases: preoperative and postoperative comparison.

Thirty surgical patients receiving surgery for congenital heart or rheumatic heart disease were compared with a match control group on a battery of neuropsychological tests. Subjects were examined prior to surgery, 4 weeks post- and again 6 months postsurgery. Preoperative surgical subjects showed a generalized impairment in functioning suggestive of brain dysfunction secondary to hypoxia. Improvement following surgery was attributed to practice effects.
