[Histological diagnosis and individual treatment of cancer in gynecology (author's transl)].

Individualization of cancer therapy in gynecology is based on a perfectly precise histological diagnosis. This implies close cooperation between the clinician and the histopathologist. Making a reliable and therapeutically decisive histopathological diagnosis is possible by means of certain diagnostic interventions which provide a maximum of clinical and histological information on the uterus and the breast, and by means of a systematic fine structure processing of the surgical specimens in carcinomas of the uterus, vulva and breast. Only in this way can the clinician take the extraordinary responsibility of an individual treatment of cancer.

[The use of computer tomography in individual treatment planning (author's transl)].

Computer tomography provides the possibility of individual treatment planning. For this purpose it is necessary to obtain the matrix of linear absorption coefficient for the type of radiation used during radiotherapy. In this paper it is shown that it is necessary to obtain a cross section of the patient using rays of two different qualities. From these results and previous measurements on phantoms it is possible to calculate the density and effective atomic number. It is also shown that the most significant information is obtained from the density matrix, if ultra hard X-rays are used for radiation therapy; With this density matrix it is possible in a simple manner to take account of inhomogeneities within individual patients.

Characteristics of mentally-impaired aged profiting from individualized treatment.

This study investigated subjects' characteristics which related to improvements from individualized treatment of mentally impaired aged. Project variables (158) were reduced to 12 Q-type factors. The excess disability (ED) criteria were partialled into experimental/control influences (EDe/c) and residual ED variance. Statistical regressions were run on the EDe/c criteria vs. age and the 12 Q-factors. Age significantly predicted post-treatment ED functioning in both conditions. Younger subjects (ages 65-82) profited most in both groups. After the statistical removal of age in the regression, Factor Q-3 still retained a significant relationship to EDe/c for the experimentals. The correlations indicate the importance of social capabilities, irrespective of age level, with regard to improvements due to ED treatments. For the control subjects, Q-12 and Q-5 showed significant independent relationships to the criteria. Subjects' competence appeared most important for EDe/c gains made without treatment.

Radiation therapy of malignant melanoma: experience with high individual treatment doses.

Reports of the existence of a large shoulder on the radiation survival curve of cultured mouse and human malignant melanoma cells prompted a clinical trial of radiation therapy using high individual-dose-fractionation schedules. Typically, individual doses of larger than or equal to 600 rads were delivered once or twice weekly. The most clear-cut effect was against skin metastases. Twenty-nine of 33 lesions showed partial or complete regression when treated in this manner. None of 11 lesions responded that were treated with individual treatment doses of 200 to 500 rads, although in some cases the total doses were greater than 5000 rads. Some of the possible roles for an effective radiation regimen in the overall management of this complex disease are discussed.

An analysis of individual treatment on a token economy for chronic schizophrenic patients.

Fifty-one individually designed treatment programmes carried out over a 22 month period on a token economy ward for 12 female chronic schizophrenic patients were analysed. Level of withdrawal was found to be a critical factor in patients' response, both in terms of the rate and extent of improvement during the treatment stage, and presence or absence of deterioration during 'weaning' and follow up. No difference in response between type of behavioural problem and methods of treatment or weaning were found.

Basic concepts in family therapy: a differential comparison with individual treatment.

The author presents basic differences between the approaches of family therapy and of the individual therapies on three dimensions: personality development, symptom formation, and the approach to producing therapeutic change. Family therapy bases its view of these factors in psychotherapy on the idea that they are determined by the family's functioning as an interderdependent transactional unit; the individual therapies base their views of these factors on the idea that they are determined by the dynamic intrapsychic functioning of the individual alone.

The early assessment for individualized treatment in the prune belly syndrome.

Patients with prune belly syndrome present a spectrum of abnormality, both in the abdominal wall and the urinary tract. Ureteral pathology has characteristic features and the ureter may be more severely involved at the bladder end than in its upper portion. Early neonatal investigation is required to determine which patient can be treated in a conservative manner and which require neonatal reconstruction or temporary vesical or upper tract drainage.

[Therapeutic neglect omission of individual treatment of secondary defective developments].

The increasing application of group psychotherapy involves the danger that secondary defective developments which cannot be cured within the group, will be neglected. For these, a specific psychotherapy is necessary and particularly urgent since these cases show a tendency towards becoming chronic. Such cases include obsessional neurosis, situation phobia, nosophobia, occupation neurosis, expectation neurosis, psychogenic impotence, anorexia nervosa, and compulsive vomiting. Secondary defective developments in the majority part of patients who consult a psychotherapist. As fear neuroses, they have to be separated from wishful neurosis (hysterical neurosis). There is an urgent need for psychotherapists to be trained and given continued training in the treatment of secondary defective developments so as to be able to treat such patients.

[The untreated congenital adrenogenital syndrome on the light of modern diagnosis and individualized treatment (author's transl)].

A case of untreated adrenogenital syndrome in a 19 year old patient is described. The patient refused treatment and a name and sex change was effected in the registry following psychiatric consultation. The clinical, genetic and psychological problems of the adrenogenital syndrome are discussed. The importance of early diagnosis and treatment are again emphasized.
