The disability assessment database model.

Collecting disability-related information in order to prevent and treat specific disabilities is important and necessary, but does it meet the major needs of individuals with disabilities? This article presents preliminary research performed to assess those needs as well as a Disability-service Assessment Database (DAD) model. This model provides local disability service data and surveys users so that their input is used to modify existing data. The content of the database and Web site are discussed and diagramed. A major goal of the DAD is to serve as a model to other communities.

Beyond FIRO-B--three new theory-derived measures--Element B: behavior, Element F: feelings, Element S: self.

Although the FIRO-B instrument has been used widely for a large number of purposes, it was not designed as a general purpose instrument. Several years ago, after revising the FIRO theory underlying the instrument based on over 20 years' experience with the instrument and related activities, the author revised the FIRO-B extensively, so extensively it was given a new name, Element B. The new instrument is much stronger both theoretically and psychometrically while at the same time retaining the simplicity and shortness of the original. In addition, two new instruments based on the same theory were designed, developed, and tested. They measure feelings (Element F) and self-concept (Element S). All three instruments have, over the past 10 years, been used primarily as training instruments. When given in conjunction with other methods, they have been used for improving self-awareness, teamwork, morale, and productivity in such organizations as Procter & Gamble, AT&T, NASA, Amdahl Corporation, the Swedish Army, and about 100 companies in Japan. Included is a comment on scales anchored both logically, using methods such as facet design and unidimensional scaling, and empirically, such as the "big five."

[Transurethral electro-resection in patients with cardiac pacemakers (author's transl)].

Transurethral electro-resection of prostate and bladder in patients with cardiac pacemakers shows no higher risk in comparison with other patients as long as pre, intra- and postsurgical monitoring is strictly performed. The monitoring of intraoperative blood-loss as well as the use of a monitor, which shows no disturbances using high-frequency-current, is essential for the intraoperative control. At the Department of Urology, University Hospital r. d. Isar, Munich, Germany, 33 patients with cardiac pacemakers underwent transurethral surgery without any complications.
