For the Committee on the Handicapped, the Chairman commented as follows: Dr. Mock emphasizes an important aspect which was alluded to in the original statement in the recommendation that if a hearing loss was suspected, the child should be referred for a thorough diagnostic evaluation following which a plan would be developed to meet the child's physical, psychological, and social needs. The audiogram is only a small part of the overall assessment. For a detailed description of hard of hearing vs. deaf, refer to: Educational Audiology Hard of Hearing, Frederick S.

Abstract In the United States, numerous studies on detection and diagnosis of dementia show that large proportions of subjects refuse initial screening tests. Moreover, among those who accept the tests, score poorly, and are therefore referred for a diagnostic evaluation, large proportions do not follow up to get the evaluation. Available data on characteristics of subjects who refuse initial screening and follow-up evaluation suggest that incorporating procedures based on person-centered concepts and practices, such as procedures that acknowledge individuals’ unique characteristics and attempt to involve, enable, and empower them, could lead to more effective detection and diagnosis. Based on results of an analysis of measures used in studies conducted in the U.S. and elsewhere, this presentation will describe frequently used measures and identify person-centered measures that could be added to studies of alternate procedures intended to increase detection and diagnosis.

New Onset

The occurrence of tuberculosis (TB) is exceedingly rare in the United States (US), and incidence has steadily declined since 1993, but the pace of decline has slowed in recent years. The US TB rate during 2019 declined to 2.7 cases per 100,000 persons, the lowest level on record. The abdominal form is the sixth leading cause of extrapulmonary TB, after lymphatic, genitourinary, osteoarticular, miliary, and meningeal. Abdominal TB can infect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, including the peritoneum and the pancreaticobiliary system. We present a case of persistently elevated adenosine deaminase in peritoneal ascites of a young, healthy female with new-onset ascites. An extended diagnostic evaluation was performed to reach the diagnosis.
