The Mean

Normative MMPI data for 85 clergymen entering counseling training at a state hospital were computed. Basically, the mean MMPI scores of Ss were similar to those reported previously for male marriage counselors. The correlation between supervisor's and peers' ratings of counseling effectiveness was .64. Three MMPI clinical scales showed negative correlations of more than .30 with supervisor's ratings, whereas six clinical scales and one validity scale correlated –.30 or more with peers' ratings of effectiveness. Two two-scale combinations showed a negative multiple correlation of .50 or more with supervisor's ratings of effectiveness, while six such combinations correlated –.50 or more with peers' ratings of effectiveness.

Following an approach presented by Frantzikinakis [Multiple correlation sequences and nilsequences. Invent. Math. 202(2) (2015), 875–892], we prove that any multiple correlation sequence defined by invertible measure preserving actions of commuting transformations with integer part polynomial iterates is the sum of a nilsequence and an error term, which is small in uniform density. As an intermediate result, we show that multiple ergodic averages with iterates given by the integer part of real-valued polynomials converge in the mean. Also, we show that under certain assumptions the limit is zero. A transference principle, communicated to us by M. Wierdl, plays an important role in our arguments by allowing us to deduce results for $\mathbb{Z}$-actions from results for flows.

Mmpi Profile

This study investigated the diagnostic performance of the MMPI validity and clinical scales, and especially of Scale 7 ( Pt), for the DSM-III—R obsessive-compulsive personality disorder by comparing the MMPI variables for 24 obsessive-compulsive with those for 58 nonobsessive-compulsive inpatients. Both groups were diagnosed by semistructured interview (SCID-II). The obsessive-compulsive group obtained for the mean MMPI profile a 2-(6-l) ( D-Pa-Hs) code, with a tendency for a lowered Scale 4 ( Pd) score, compared to the nonobsessive-compulsive group. Neither the ROC analysis of the individual MMPI scales, including Scale 7 ( Pt), nor the analyses of frequency of two-point codes and elevated ( T>69) scales showed any clear indications of good diagnostic performance for the DSM-III—R obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.

Successive Generations

In order to replicate and expand the work of Dimos (2013), we compiled the largest samples to date of MMPI-2 standard scale profiles among evangelical Christian missionary candidates (n =1227; 530 men and 696 women) and outpatients (n = 1431; 643 men and 788 women). Results indicated our candidate scale scores were remarkably similar to those reported by Dimos and together these datasets appear to converge on a reliable normative profile for this population. We also present a potential outpatient normative profile for our clinical sample. In distinguishing our samples from the MMPI-2 normative sample, we found that validity scale differences were most salient for the missionary candidates and several clinical scales provided the clearest contrasts for missionary outpatients. Potential profile shifts among successive generations were evident in the form of somewhat less defensiveness and, specific to outpatients, slightly more sensitivity and feelings of grievance. Finally, while the profiles of married and single candidates were essentially similar, among the clinical sample married missionaries appeared slightly more guarded and less distressed than their single counterparts.

Sorghum Bicolor L

Ten grain sorghum lines (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) selected from the Conversion Program were evaluated at the Mayagüez Institute of Tropical Agriculture (MITA), Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. Grain yield among the 10 lines ranged from 910 to 4,153 kg/ha. Line 9, brown-seeded, was the highest producer. Days to mid-flower among the 10 lines ranged from 71.2 to 76.2. The high-yielding lines were late flowering. Height ranged from 83.5 to 117 cm. Weight of 10 seeds ranged from 1.63 to 2.81 g. Line 4, the lowest grain producer, had the heaviest seeds. Seed volume ranged from 1.21 to 2.20 cm3/100 seed. Line 4 had the highest volume. Density among the 10 lines ranged from 1.17 to 1.36 g/cm3. Lines 2 and 10 had the highest density. Insect damage caused by armyworms ranged from 3.3 to 4.9 (on a scale of 1 lowest to 9 highest) but no statistical differences were observed among them. Rust, the most prevalent disease observed, ranged from 0.8 to 3.8 on a scale of 1 lowest to 5 highest. The incidence of anthracnose was relatively low, ranging from 0.0 to 2.8. Zonate leaf spot ratings ranged from 0 .4 to 3.1. The mean incidence of leaf blight was relatively low, ranging from 0.1 to 1.5. A multiple correlation analysis showed no significant correlation among insect and disease attacks and total grain yield. It was shown that useful sorghum material, with variations in height and maturity, and with good yield potential and resistance to pests is available in the Conversion Program for direct utilization in the tropics.

The Mean

The body density of 50 healthy young women was determined by underwater weighing, and five skin-fold thicknesses and five girths were measured on each subject. The mean body density was 1.0467 g/ml (sd ± 0.0122), corresponding to 20.06 ± 4.63% by weight of fat in the body by the formula of Keys and Brozcaronek or 22.91 ± 5.58% by the formula of Siri. The mean specific gravity at water temperature 37.5 C was 1.0537 (sd ± 0.0122), corresponding to 22.13 ± 7.08% fat by the formula of Rathbun and Pace. The skin-fold measurement that showed the highest correlation with a composite criterion of skin folds was that over the iliac crest (r = +.92). The best prediction of body density was from skin-fold measurements over the iliac crest and back of arm, which gave a multiple correlation of –.74. Submitted on October 9, 1961

Clinic Population

All parents completed an MMPI upon evaluation of their child at a clinic before diagnosis. For this study, 144 pairs of parents were selected to reflect the sex ratio of the clinic population. This sample was divided into three groups according to the diagnostic classification of the child: (1) minimal cerebral dysfunction, (2) behavior disorder, and (3) normal child. Separate multivariate analyses, computed for the groups by comparing the mean MMPI scores on the validity scales and the clinical scales for fathers and mothers, showed no significant differences in MMPIs of fathers on the validity scales. Also, no difference appeared on the three sex-determined analyses of the clinical scales. However, significant differences were found when scores for both the mothers and combined fathers and mothers were analyzed across the validity scales. The mothers of children with behavior disorders produced lower K scores (test-taking attitude). It was concluded that, while these parents could not be differentiated on the basis of clinical scales of the MMPI, they could be on the test-taking attitude of the mothers of those children evidencing behavior disorders.

BACKGROUND Currently, pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is considered a commonly performed surgery for periampullary tumours; but, it is still a high-risk surgical procedure with potential morbidity and mortality rates. Previous studies have identified a significant volume–outcome relationship for hospitals performing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). We intended to present the results of patients who underwent pancreatic resection with the diagnosis of malignancy in a low-volume centre. METHODS Patients who underwent pancreatic resection with the diagnosis of malignancy at the 2nd stage state hospital between 2014 and 2018 were included in the study. Patients who underwent pancreatic surgery due to trauma and benign reasons were excluded from the study. Clinical data of the patients have been analysed retrospectively. RESULTS 12 patients participated in our study. 8 patients were male. The average age was 65.75 and the oldest patient was 85 years old. The mean values of preoperative laboratory parameters were HGB gr / dl: 12.3; Albumin gr / dl 3.8 Cea ng / ml 4.08 Ca19.9 U / ml 194 Whipple procedure and the other half was applied distal pancretectomy, the mean tumor diameter was 3.67, the mean number of lymph nodes dissected was 18.1. Postoperative morbidity rate was 33.3. Pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, wound infection and pulmonary embolism were seen in one patient each. Average hospital stay was 10.66 days. Mortality occurred in patient who had developed pulmonary embolism. CONCLUSIONS Pancreatic resections can be performed safely in low-volume centres, with morbidity and mortality rates comparable to high-volume centers. Patients who have difficulty in accessing high-volume academic centers can be operated in low volume centers. KEY WORDS Pancreatic Cancer, Low Volume Center, Morbidity

Ego deficit is a frequent theme in the clinical literature for both patients of anorexia nervosa and victims of incest, but no previous study has analyzed, compared or contrasted the dynamics of the two groups psychometrically. The present investigation utilized the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) to study the mean profiles of 30 hospitalized anorexic women, 30 female victims of father-daughter incest, and 30 female subjects in a matched contemporary control group. Remarkable similarities were noted between the anorexic and incest groups (and differences from the control group) in characterological elevations on five clinical scales and lower scores on Barron's ego strength ( Es) scale. The results are discussed in terms of ego deficits shared by the two groups in spite of their distinctly different developmental and behavioral histories.
