PROBLEM: Abstract: A review of 77 patients with traumatic central cord syndrome revealed that atypical variations are more common than the existing literature suggests and that these may be seen in a wide variety of acute injuries to the cervical spine. In general the outcome is good; a favourable prognosis on admission is suggested by good hand function, hyperpathia, Lhermitte's sign and normal perianal sensation. The study has highlighted the value of regular muscle charting and has cast doubt on previous neuroanatomical assumptions about the syndrome.

SOLUTION: A reappraisal of acute traumatic central cord syndrome.

PROBLEM: Abstract: Differences with regard to the effectiveness of health information and attitude change are suggested between people with direct, behavioral experiences with a health topic and people with indirect, nonbehavioral experiences. The effects of three different methods of health education about epilepsy, frequently used in health education practice, are assessed in a pretest posttest design with control groups, controlling for experiences with epilepsy. Subjects were 132 students from teacher-training colleges. After all treatments, attitudes, and knowledge about epilepsy were changed in a positive way. Treatments were found to be equally effective. Before treatment, direct behavioral experiences were related to knowledge and a more positive attitude towards epilepsy. After treatment, subjects with direct behavioral experiences with epilepsy showed less change of attitude and knowledge as compared with subjects with indirect experiences. Direct experiences appear to restrain the processing of new information and attitude change.

SOLUTION: Previous experiences with epilepsy and effectiveness of information to change public perception of epilepsy.

PROBLEM: Abstract: A series of 150 patients with histologically confirmed angiofibroma examined from 1945 through 1983 was studied to contrast treatment methods and surgical approaches. From 1945 to 1955, treatment consisted primarily of radiation. From 1955 through 1971, the primary method of treatment was surgical removal; the lateral rhinotomy approach was used to expose the tumor and its extensions in most cases. From 1971 through 1983, all tumors were removed surgically. Trends in diagnosis, treatment, and adjunctive therapy at a single institution were evaluated. Specifically, the trends considered were operative approaches, blood replacement with and without hypotensive anesthesia, adjunctive measures such as hormonal therapy or tumor embolization, mortality, and morbidity. Lateral rhinotomy provides wide exposure of and access to the nose, nasopharynx, paranasal sinuses, elements of the skull base, temporal fossa, and infratemporal fossa. Surgical treatment, specifically the lateral rhinotomy approach and its extensions, is recommended as the best method of managing angiofibroma in most patients.

SOLUTION:
