[Use of pneumatic anti-shock equipment (MAST = military anti-shock trousers) in prehospital emergency treatment. A review].

Employment of pneumatic anti-shock (MAST) equipment is a therapeutic possibility in some countries for hypovolaemic and shocked patients. This treatment may be associated with particularly serious side effects and no documentation is available to prove that MAST is beneficial for the patients. The only meticulous clinically controlled investigation concludes that MAST is without effect in city regions with well-trained paramedical or medical staff and employment of MAST can thus not be recommended. The effect of MAST outside urban regions is unknown and should be assessed by means of a clinica…

Natural history of male psychological health. XI: Escape from the underclass.

A long-term prospective study of 456 inner-city men tested the hypothesis that extreme poverty and chaotic family life produce a self-perpetuating underclass.

Although attained social class was somewhat lower for the disadvantaged, given the opportunity for steady employment and occupational mobility, the children from multiproblem welfare families did not inevi…

The workplace as a community: promoting employee satisfaction.

Because people's primary commitments lie elsewhere, the workplace will never be a true community. The workplace will be better, however, if employees show concern and respect for coworkers and if employers celebrate traditions, recognize achievement, and encourage creative thinking. Such workplace enhancement should encourage employees' participation in a shared enterprise but not substitute for workers' outside ties. To offset excessive competition, which can lead to suspicion and hostility, employers can (1) provide communication outlets, (2) faster loyalty to the job by providing attractive
