Depression in black women of low socioeconomic status: psychosocial factors and nursing diagnosis.
This study examines the relationship between depressive symptomatology and selected psychosocial variables in a sample of low socioeconomic status of Black women. The purpose of the investigation was to determine if a study of attribution style, interpersonal style, and racial identity within this sample of Black women might yield results that would lead to the development of treatment strategies with specific applicability to this population of people. Findings indicated a significant disproportionate prevalence of depressive symptomatology in sample of 101 Black women.

The use of monoclonal antibody B72.3 in the management of gynecologic malignancies.
Monoclonal antibodies are currently used in the diagnosis of gynecologic malignancies by way of immunohistochemical assays, serum assays, and in situ radiolocalization of carcinoma lesions. Among them is MAb B72.3, generated against a human tumor-associated antigen (TAG-72). Using immunohistochemical techniques, MAb B72.3 has shown reactivity with 100 percent of common epithelial ovarian carcinomas and endometrial carcinomas and non-reactivity with normal adult tissues, with the exception of normal secretory endometrium. B72.3 appears to be a valuable immunocytologic adjunct, with greater than 90 percent of effusions and fine-needle aspiration biopsies from gynecologic carcinomas showing reactivity. Using a serum assay developed to detect the presence of the TAG-72 antigen, 48 percent of patients with ovarian carcinoma demonstrated TAG-72-positive sera versus 1 percent of control sera. 131I-labeled MAb B72.3 IgG and gamma scanning have been used for the in situ detection of metastatic carcinoma. Twelve of 15 patients with ovarian carcinoma showed positive gamma scans, and approximately 80 percent of the lesions demonstrated specific localization of the antibody. These studies indicate the potential utility of MAb B72.3 in the diagnosis of gynecologic carcinoma.

Implementation of unit-based continuous quality improvement approach to quality management: applying concepts to practice.
This article describes the implementation of unit-based continuous quality improvement approach to quality management and the resultant fostering of autonomy and decision-making among clinical nurses. Restructuring, education and evaluation activities during implementation are described. Nurses in the post-implementation evaluation survey stated that quality of care was improved by unit-based continuous quality improvement. Unit-based continuous quality improvement promotes a high level of clinical nurse involvement as evidenced by quality improvement initiatives and projects completed. Accompanying this involvement, is a system of continuous quality improvement which facilitates patient care improvement.
