Attention is directed to the diagnosis of acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis and the possibility of its clinical recognition is discussed. Three case histories, two diagnosed at autopsy and one clinically, are presented. The latter was treated with very generous doses of steroids and recovered spectacularly. On omission of steroids, a mild, temporary clinical recurrence occurred. Clinical, clinicopathologic, and pathologic aspects of the disease are discussed, and etiologic factors mentioned. Some thoughts on the relationship of this disease to experimental allergic encephalomyelitis are mentioned. Differential diagnosis is considered and the use of biopsy for confirmation of diagnosis especially from herpes encephalitis considered. A plea is made for the trial of treatment with large doses of steroids.

Data are presented to demonstrate that the effects of gonadectomy on body weight and food consumption differ in male and female rats. The findings are related to the authors' report of sex differences in the effects of ventromedial hypothalamic damage. A review of the literature on the relationship of the gonads to body weight in different species is presented.

<p>Cesarean delivery (CD) is the second most commonly performed surgery in the United States. As such, prevention of complications associated with this procedure is a top priority in nursing care. Nurses at the study insti- tution perceived that postcesarean patients experienced increased uri- nary retention after use of spinal morphine for postoperative pain relief. This observation prompted a review of the literature indicating that limited research had been conducted in this area. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship of postelective CD urinary reten- tion and dose of spinal morphine. A retrospective, quasi-experimental, three-group design was used. Records of 150 patients, ages 17 to 39, undergoing elective primary or repeat CD were examined. Morphine doses included 100, 150, and 200 mcg. No statistically significant differ- ences were found between the three groups.</p>

A review of the literature on change management of foreign researchers on the relationship of organizational values and the success of organizational changes has been presented. Identification instruments of organizational values have been considered. Typology of organizational culture on eight value systems in accordance with Graves’ emergent cyclical levels of existence theory and the concept of spiral dynamics by Beck and Cowan has been proposed. Characteristic of organizational culture depending on the level of value structure development has been given.

The article is devoted to a review of the literature on the impact of hyperuricemia on the development and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The tendency of changes of views on the role of uric acid in the pathogenesis of CKD is demonstrated. An analysis of experimental, epidemiological and clinical studies on the effects of uric acid on the physiology of the nephron and endothelial tissues, the relationship of hyperuricemia with metabolic and cardiorenal syndromes.

This study examined attitudes toward suicide survivors. Two variables were assessed: the impact of information on attitudes toward suicide survivors and whether the survivor's relationship to the victim affects the attitudes of others towards the survivor. Sixty participants responded to one of three fictional case histories that described a child's suicide, a spouse's suicide, or a parent's suicide. Prior to reading case vignettes, thirty of the participants read an article about suicide; the other thirty read death-related but not suicide-related materials. Results indicated that suicide information did not affect attitudes toward survivors. Further results indicated that reactions to suicide survivors are generally negative and the relationship of survivors to victims affects these reactions. Children of victims were seen least negatively; parents of a child who died by suicide received the most negative reactions.

The Relationship

This paper presents an abbreviated review of the literature concerning the relationship of evaporative moisture-loss rate to soil-moisture content. Results from a variety of sources appear to fall into four major types of curve expressing this relationship. The author compares these types and concludes that three of them are mutually supporting and represent special cases of the same process. The fourth type is considered contradictory. It is concluded further that the search for a neat, concise, general statement of the relationship under consideration is probably futile.

The Relationship

A case of sternomastoid tumor of infancy is described which presented clinically as a neck mass without torticollis and simulated a neoplasm. Four aspects of the problem are discussed: (1) the relationship of tumor and torticollis; (2) the etiology and pathogenesis; (3) the differential diagnosis from sarcoma; and (4) the treatment. Prophylactic resection of the mass to exclude a possible malignant tumor or to prevent the subsequent development of torticollis, is not justified, since in about 80% of cases spontaneous regression occurs without sequelae. The institution of passive neck exercises over a period of several months during and following degression of the mass may contribute to a decreased incidence of deformities.
