This paper reports the first stages of the development of an integrated care model for people with massive sudden change in their lives with special reference to spinal cord injuries. The model aims to be holistic by placing the patient at the centre of the service. In addition to providing medical care for physical injuries, the model emphasises at the outset that regaining a good quality of life postinjury is expected. There is quality of life after change if individuals and their support network are provided with access to quality information and evidence for them to make informed choices. In New Zealand, this has been referred to as "life beyond bugger"!
We investigated the effect of the anti-progestogen mifepristone (RU-486) on climacteric complaints. Four hysterectomized postmenopausal women, with at least 35 hot flushes per week, were treated with daily 200mg RU-486 for 6 weeks. RU-486 did not significantly improve climacteric complaints. Although this result does not support further clinical research with this dose of RU-486 for the treatment of climacteric complaints, potential effects of higher, but more interestingly of lower, dosages of RU-486 cannot be excluded.
