Age-at-first-registration and heterogeneity in affective psychoses

Background: Previous research into age of onset in affective disorders has produced conflicting results. This paper examines the influence of heterogeneity on the age-at-first-registration distribution for the ICD-9 diagnostic group 'affective psychosis'. Method: For 1979-1991, data for age-at-first-registration for 4985 individuals diagnosed with affective psychosis (ICD-9 296.x) were extracted from a name-linked mental health register. These data were divided into (i) '296.1 only', a category used to code unipolar depression (males = 700; females = 1321); and (ii) '296 other', all 296 cases other than 296.1 (males = 1280; females = 1684). Inception rates for each 5-year age division were adjusted for the background population age-structure as a rate per 100 000 population. Results: The age-at-first-registration distribution for affective psychosis has a wide age range, with women outnumbering men. There is a near-linear increase in inception rates for both men and women with 296.1 only, while the bulk of those with affective psychoses (296 other) have an inverted U-shaped age distribution. Males have an earlier modal age-at-first-registration for 296 other compared to females. Conclusion: The heterogeneity in terms of subtypes and sex in affective psychosis clouds the interpretation of age-at-first-registration. Separating those with unipolar psychotic depression from other subclassifications and differentiating by sex may provide clues to factors that precipitate the onset of affective psychosis.

EFICÁCIA DE INFORMAÇÕES EM PERÍODO PRÉ-OPERATÓRIO A PACIENTES SUBMETIDOS À CIRURGIA DE REVASCULARIZAÇÃO DO MIOCÁRDIO

Este trabalho investigou o efeito das informações dadas ao paciente no período pré-operatório de cirurgia de revascularização do miocárdio sobre a evolução clínica no período pós-operatório imediato, avaliando 15 pacientes do Hospital de ensino da fundação do ABC, em São Bernardo do Campo. A ansiedade no período pré-operatório foi comparada com a do pós-operatório em dois grupos: um tendo recebido informações detalhadas e específicas referentes ap pré-operatório, intra-operatório e pós-operatório, e outro tendo recebido informações gerais sobre o momento em que encontrava. Para tal, foram utilizados questionários semi-estruturados e um informativo completo com informações específicas e outro com informações gerais, além da avaliação do prontuário do paciente. Para a avaliação da ansiedade foi aplicado o Inventário de Ansiedade Traço e Estado (EDATE). Os achados mostram uma discreta tendência à diminuição da ansiedade no período pós-operatório nos pacientes dos dois grupos, indicando que a informação técnica não fez diferença para a população estudada.

Semi-supervised construction of general visualization hierarchies

We have recently developed a principled approach to interactive non-linear hierarchical visualization [8] based on the Generative Topographic Mapping (GTM). Hierarchical plots are needed when a single visualization plot is not sufficient (e.g. when dealing with large quantities of data). In this paper we extend our system by giving the user a choice of initializing the child plots of the current plot in either interactive, or automatic mode. In the interactive mode the user interactively selects ``regions of interest'' as in [8], whereas in the automatic mode an unsupervised minimum message length (MML)-driven construction of a mixture of GTMs is used. The latter is particularly useful when the plots are covered with dense clusters of highly overlapping data projections, making it difficult to use the interactive mode. Such a situation often arises when visualizing large data sets. We illustrate our approach on a data set of 2300 18-dimensional points and mention extension of our system to accommodate discrete data types.

Risks to Hospitality Firms in the International Arena

Much potential for growth in hospitality firms exists in foreign countries, but expansion abroad typicality bears additional risks that could be detrimental to the operations. The authors explore those risks, currency exchange risk, and country risk, and offer practical techniques to access, manage, control, and reduce them. Deriving benefits from global opportunities requires effective management of these areas

Digital Literacy: A Demand for Nonlinear Thinking Styles

This paper makes a case for a direct relationship between digital literacy and nonlinear thinking styles, articulates a demand for nonlinear thinking styles in education and the workplace, and states implications for a connection between nonlinear thinking styles visual literacy, and intuitive artistic practice.
