Thromboelastography identifies sex-related differences in coagulation.

UNLABELLED: Thromboelastography is an in vitro, point-of-care monitor of whole blood coagulation. Thromboelastography studies have demonstrated a hypercoagulable state during pregnancy. Perhaps the hypercoagulability is attributable to female sex hormones. The aim of the study was to determine if sex, in addition to pregnancy, affected thromboelastography variables by studying male and female (pregnant and nonpregnant) volunteers. Thromboelastography showed significant (P:<0.01) differences in sex, with a significant (P: < 0. 0001) trend of increasing whole blood coagulability from men through nonpregnant to pregnant women. The thromboelastograph, used as a diagnostic tool, shows that women have more whole blood coagulability than men. IMPLICATIONS: The thromboelastograph, used as a diagnostic tool, shows that women have more whole blood coagulability than men.

Aggression and psychopathology in persons with severe or profound mental retardation.

We examined aggression and psychopathology in persons with severe or profound mental retardation. Most aggressive episodes were directed toward other clients, and ratings of aggression were positively correlated with self-injury, stereotypic behavior, and being ambulatory. In a linear regression analysis of psychopathological correlates, aggression was most consistently predicted by dependent personality and psychosis. To better describe the construct of aggression, we also developed an Aggression-psychopathology scale. Persons with mental retardation and aggression were more likely to be impulsive, attention-seeking, dependent, socially inadequate, and anxious. Intensive efforts to modify the psychopathological correlates of aggression may improve treatment planning and outcome.
