Picking up the challenge: developing a methodology to enumerate and assess the needs of the street homeless population.

This study represents the first enumeration of the street homeless population in Canada. Past enumeration attempts have been challenged on their significant methodological shortcomings. This enumeration directly addressed the lessons learned from previous attempts, and improvements to the methodology are presented and discussed. In addition, lessons learned and recommendations are discussed for application to future enumerations.

Eastern movement therapies.

Tai chi, qigong, and yoga represent a class of exercise that differs from the routine strengthening and stretching programs currently employed in physical medicine. These techniques incorporate a "mind-body" approach to the rehabilitation of disorders commonly seen by physical medicine and rehabilitation clinicians. Research into the efficacy of these techniques clearly is in the beginning stages. What little has been conducted thus far is promising. These methods may serve to add valuable contributions to the continuity of care of ambulatory and non-ambulatory patients.

Cesarean section: indications and postoperative morbidity.

Over an 18-month period, the cesarean section rate was 21.6%. THe primary cesarean section rate was 14.9%. The various indications for the primary cesarean section are detailed. Cephalopelvic disproportion and breech presentation accounted for 50% of the primary cesarean sections. The frequencies of various types of morbidity (ie, endometritis, wound infection, and urinary tract infection) are presented and analyzed with respect to several variables. Patients who underwent primary cesarean section were at significantly greater risk of developing postoperative endometritis than were patients undergoing a repeat procedure. Labor, ruptured membranes, and the use of internal fetal-maternal monitoring were not significant risk factors for endometritis in the patients in this study.
