Idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis.

IHSS is a familial illness with a significant and frequently lethal effect on cardiac function. Diagnosis can be made on clinical grounds and by echocardiography, and is confirmed by cardiac catheterization. High-dose beta -adrenergic blockade may control symptoms but does not give complete protection against fatal arrhythmias. Surgery may be required. A new class of drugs, calcium antagonists, will soon be marketed in this country and could provide more effective therapy for IHSS.

'Doctor, is my child hyperactive?'.

Hyperactivity is a childhood behavioral disorder which may be due to emotional problems, developmental lags, high-normal energy levels or a combination of these factors. It may also occur as part of the syndrome of minimal brain dysfunction. Appropriate treatment depends on successful determination of the etiology. While drugs can be of appreciable benefit, treatment must also include professional support and education for the child and his family.

The family as patient: preliminary experience with a recorded assessment schema.

Although family medicine has become a well-established discipline, emphasis more often than not continues to be on the individual and not the family. It is the intent of this paper to expand the focus of physician concern beyond the presenting symptom and, indeed, beyond the individual patient, to include the concept of family as patient. The family is discussed as part of a complex interactional system of stress and support factors both from within the family itself and from the wider social system of which it forms a part. A three-dimensional model for the comprehensive psychosocial evaluation of family functioning in health and illness has been presented both diagrammatically and descriptively. Most importantly, a simple set of questions is provided as an instrument to assist the physician in the assessment of family functioning in health and illness.
