Mothers' personality and its interaction with child temperament as predictors of parenting behavior.

In this longitudinal, multimethod investigation, the authors examined mothers' personality and its interaction with infants' negative emotionality as predictors of parenting behavior. When infants were 8-10 months old (N = 112), mothers completed personality self-reports, and the authors observed infants' negative emotionality in both standard procedures and naturalistic daily contexts. When infants were 13-15 months old (N = 108), the authors observed two aspects of parenting, power assertion and maternal responsiveness, in mother-child interactive contexts. Maternal personality alone and also in interaction with child emotionality predicted future parenting behaviors. The longitudinal links established between personality and parenting behaviors indicate the predictive utility of personality. Findings also highlight the bidirectionality of the early parent-child relationship.

Metachronous colorectal malignancies.

Sixty-two patients with metachronous colorectal malignancies who underwent surgery at the Mayo Clinic were reviewed. Fifty per cent of the patients developed a second carcinoma within 5.5 years from the time of resection of their first tumor, and the time interval for the entire group ranged from one to 23 years. Adenomas of the colon or rectum occurred in 25 of the 62 patients (40 per cent). A negative correlation was noted between the age of the patients at the time of their first operation and the time interval in years from the first to second resections. The five-year cumulative probability of survival of the 62 patients after resection of the metachronous lesions was 59 per cent. Seven of the 62 patients (11 per cent) developed a third metachronous lesion. Adequate treatment for metachronous colorectal malignancies should imply surgery with a curative intent, and after resection of a first colorectal carcinoma, lifelong, periodic, total colonic evaluation is essential.

Patients' perceptions of their participation in a clinical trial for postoperative Crohn's disease.

OBJECTIVE: To explore patients' perceptions of their participation in a randomized controlled trial. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A 27-item questionnaire was mailed to all patients who participated in a randomized controlled trial that determined the effectiveness of mesalamine in preventing the recurrence of Crohn's disease postoperatively. RESULTS: The response rate was 66% (99 of 149). Fifty-five per cent of the patients felt that they received better medical care than they otherwise would have and 53% liked taking the medication. Sixty-eight per cent of the patients did not feel that annual colonoscopy was too frequent and 81% felt that the time commitment did not significantly interfere with their job or other activities. Seventy-five per cent and 62% of the patients would have liked more information and education, respectively, about Crohn's disease incorporated into the trial. Although 91% of the patients would agree to participate in a future randomized controlled trial comparing medical therapies, only 44% would agree to participate in a future randomized controlled trial comparing medical with surgical therapies. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of patients were satisfied with their participation in the trial. A large proportion of the patients would participate again but would like more information and education incorporated into the trial. Furthermore, post-trial questionnaires may be helpful in the design of future trials.
