Interviewing deaf children, the interviewer effect: a research note.

A highly structured diagnostic interview, the Child Assessment Schedule (CAS), was used to investigate the influence of the interviewer's signing ability and cultural status on the outcome of psychiatric assessments of signing deaf children and adolescents. Preliminary findings suggest that linguistic competence of the interviewer had a significant effect on the range of symptoms elicited at interview. In particular that poor competence leads to the masking of a child's emotional difficulties.

Vascular complications following total hip arthroplasty. A review of the literature and a report of two cases.

Major vascular, nonthromboembolic complications of total hip arthroplasty are rare: only 23 have been reported over the last 20 years. This is a report of two additional cases. In an 84-year-old woman, the external iliac artery was lacerated following removal of the acetabular component. Two such injuries have been reported previously, but this is the first case that resulted from a posterolateral approach to the hip. In a 69-year-old woman, a heretofore unrecorded complication consisted of external iliac vein compression occurring 20 months after total hip arthroplasty and culminating in iliac artery thrombosis and an ischemic foot. A below-knee amputation was performed after removal of the total hip components.

Orthopaedics: patient assessment before surgery.

The potential for pre-admission assessment clinics has been discussed for many years, but only recently have such clinics been developed. This article reviews how one clinic was conceived and developed. The perceived benefits included improved patient care, opportunity for informed choice, reduction in patient cancellation rates and improved utilisation of theatre time.
