Terminal phalangeal sclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis.

The incidence of terminal phalangeal sclerosis in the hand radiographs of 150 patients with rheumatoid arthritis was compared with a control group of radiographs of non-rheumatoid patients. Terminal phalangeal sclerosis was more common in females than in males and was more common in females with rheumatoid arthritis than in female controls. In rheumatoid arthritis terminal phalangeal sclerosis may occur with or without erosive changes.

Factor analyses of two 'attitude toward gender role' questionnaire.

Two questionnaires which purport to assess attitudes toward gender role, the Maferr Inventory of Feminine Values and the Sex Stereotype Questionnaire, were submitted to a factor analysis. While each analysis of the five response set items yielded interpretable factors with unequivocal item scores, the obtained factors are not consistent with the a priori assignment of items to "groupings" suggested by the manuals for these instruments. The implications of using questionnaires with questionable psychometric properties is discussed.

The drunken driver: a psychosocial study.

A self-administered questionnaire was used to compare selected psychosocial variables of 306 convicted male drunk drivers with those of 294 alcoholics and 253 controls. The drunk driver group fell between the other groups on many parameters but resembled the alcoholic group on many others. While over 68% of the drunk drivers appeared to be alcoholics, in general they showed significantly less psychosocial incapacity than the alcoholic comparison group. The differences between the alcoholic and presumed non-alcoholic drunk drivers were not sufficient to clearly dichotomize the drunk driver group.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis of the elbow.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a monoarticular condition with a variable prognosis. The first account of it was given by Chassaignac in 1852. The condition was given its name by Jaffe in 1941. In separate studies Miller in 1982 and Flandry et al. in 1994 determined the overall incidence of PVNS varied between 1 and 3 per 1,000,000. The joint most commonly involved is the knee, and according to Dorwart et al. the elbow is rarely affected. Seventeen other cases of PVNS of the elbow have been reported, and very scant information exists about optimal treatment or outcome.

Extensor hallucis longus tendon transfer for correction of hallux varus.

The authors describe radiographic results from nine patients in whom hallux varus was repaired by transferring the extensor hallucis longus tendon (EHLT) under the deep transverse intermetatarsal ligament into the proximal-lateral base of the proximal phalanx. X-ray films revealed clinically significant changes in biomechanical relations, specifically in the hallux abductus angle. No clinically significant changes were seen in the intermetatarsal angle. The EHLT transfer procedure described is a valuable surgical alternative for correction of iatrogenic hallux varus deformity when combined with the appropriate adjunctive procedures.
