Aims and MethodNeuroleptic medication is often used in excess of the BNF maximum. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of neuroleptic dose to patient, prescriber and environmental factors, by using a cross sectional ‘snapshot’ study of psychiatric in-patient prescriptions combined with a retrospective case note survey.ResultsIt was found that certain consultants prescribe higher doses of neuroleptics than others. Patients with a history of aggression had a nine and a half times higher chance of being prescribed higher doses of neuroleptics. Patients with a greater than 5-year history of neuroleptic prescription received higher doses.Clinical ImplicationsHigh neuroleptic prescription is related more to patients' past reputation and prescriber differences than to patients' current behaviour.

SummaryDuplex ultrasonography was used to measure the diameters of the common femoral, superficial femoral and popliteal vein segments in 123 patients following DVT. A cross sectional analysis was done based on the most recent visit to determine chronic venous diameter changes following DVT.Venous diameters in recanalized segments were smaller at all levels compared to those never occluded (p = 0.06 for CFV and p <0.05 for SFV and PV). After accounting for a previous history of occlusion, the diameters of the segments with and without reflux were not significantly different. There was also no evidence of venodilation in segments caudal to cephalad reflux or thrombus.Recanalized veins are smaller in diameter than those which were never thrombosed. Cephalad thrombus or reflux is not associated with venodilatation of caudal segments. Reflux following DVT is probably secondary to valvular damage rather than hypertension, since there was no diameter difference between refluxing and non-refluxing segments.

Fatigue can lead to a decrease in productivity and increase the incidence of workplace accidents. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between nutritional status and history of disease with work fatigue in workers at PT. X. This study was an observational study using a cross-sectional approach. The sample of this study was the total population of 45 workers from the morning shift workers. The independent variables of this study were nutritional status and disease history. The dependent variable was work fatigue. Coefficient correlation is used as data analysis to determine the strength of the relationship of the variables. The results showed that some workers’ nutritional status was fat (57.8%), and as much as (26.7%) workers had history of a certain disease. The conclusion of this study is both nutritional status and history of disease have a moderate relationship with work fatigue in workers of morning shift at PT.X. A monitoring of nutritional status from the companies is needed to be done for the workers also regularly holding a physical activity or exercise every once a week and conducting regular health checks can be done to maintain the good condition of the workers.

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.
