Phytotoxicity tests with the molluscicide N-tritylmorpholine.

N-Tritylmorpholine (Frescon, WL 8008) has been applied as an emulsifiable concentrate (FX 28) to cotton and rice in glasshouse experiments without any adverse effects. The compound was applied in the irrigation water at 5 and 10 times the rates used for snail control. The experiment on cotton was terminated after 60 days, when the plants became pot-bound. The treatments did not affect the leaf area or the fresh weight of plants. The rice (Oryza sativa ssp. japonica) was harvested and no differences in growth, time of ear emergence or total plant weight were noted.A further experiment using the same formulation of N-tritylmorpholine in an overhead spray on young cotton and rice, at rates up to 48.5 kg/ha of FX 28, resulted in no adverse effects.

Infrequent panic attacks: psychiatric comorbidity, personality characteristics and functional disability.

Primary care patients with infrequent panic attacks were found to have similar levels of disability in their social, family and vocational functioning to patients who met DSM-III-R criteria for panic disorder. Both panic subgroups had significantly more functional disability than controls. Patients with panic and infrequent panic had significantly more Axis I psychiatric comorbidity than primary care controls but similar levels of medical comorbidity. Patients with panic disorder had a significantly higher prevalence of one or more other lifetime psychiatric diagnoses, current major depression, and current DSM-III-R depressive symptoms compared to patients with infrequent panic. Patients with infrequent panic scored as high on the NEO personality measure of neuroticism as patients with panic disorder, and both panic subgroups had significantly higher neuroticism levels than controls.

The portfolio: how was it for you? Views of F2 doctors from the Mersey Deanery Foundation Pilot.

A study was conducted between August 2004 and August 2005 to explore the experiences of Foundation year 2 (F2) trainees who used the learning portfolio on the Mersey Deanery pilot scheme. Seventy-three trainees (77%) reported receiving their portfolio during their induction. In their first four-month placement, 90 trainees (96%) completed the two case-based discussions, 80 (87%) the three mini clinical examinations and 92 (97%) the two direct observation of practical procedures. The number of trainees who felt there was an opportunity to make a record of and analyse clinical critical incidents and critical incidents related to professional behaviour was only 32 (35%) and 13 (15%) respectively. Free text responses suggested that trainees appreciate the portfolio but that an understanding of its content and purpose, particularly by educational supervisors, is paramount to its success.

Profits with a purpose: an interview with Tom Chapman. Interview by Nancy A. Nichols.

Greater Southeast Community Hospital is located in the center of one of Washington, D.C.'s most troubled and isolated neighborhoods. Like so many inner-city hospitals, it serves a population struggling with high rates of poverty, crime, and illiteracy. As a result, the area suffers from the highest rates of infant mortality, cancer, and coronary disease in the D.C. area. When Tom Chapman joined the hospital in 1984, it was giving away roughly 11% of its care-or about $11.5 million worth of medical services to indigent residents. If things continued at that rate, the hospital would soon go out of business. His challenge: to keep Greater Southeast solvent while shoring up the community that surrounds it. Chapman, who grew up in a housing project himself, understands the problems of inner cities innately. Working in tandem with community residents, Greater Southeast has developed a broad range of preventive and supportive programs, such as housing, day care for children and the elderly, nursing home services, and literacy training. Last year, Chapman was promoted to CEO of Greater Southeast Health Care, a broad network comprising two hospitals, three nursing homes, a physician care network, and over 50 community programs. He remains true to his original mission: "I want to create a network of participants, stringing together various organizations and players, each of whom have something special to contribute to urban problems.... What we are really doing is creating a community."
