The Model for the Assessment of Psychosocial Problems (MAPP) can help family medicine residents effectively assess patients with psychosocial problems. Following a patient-centred clinical method, MAPP provides a guide to exploring problems and an approach that allows residents and patients jointly to define problems and decide upon management. Emphasis is placed on clarifying patients' expectations of physicians.
using a single step separation procedure, we have developed a method for labelling human neutrophils with 111In-oxine. This method allows a rapid separation of neutrophils from whole blood, with negligible mononuclear or red cell contamination. Preliminary studies using 111In-labelled neutrophils show minimal lung retention and early accumulation in the spleen consistent with viable cells. In addition, focal accumulation of 111In has been imaged in patients with localized inflammation or sepsis.
