Length of Service of Medical School Deans
The median length of service for medical school deans has remained at approximately 4 years since 1959. This relatively short duration of leadership may limit growth and innovation in the academic and clinical missions. Several factors may account for short deanships, including a mismatch between the institution’s selection criteria and the requisite personal characteristics that promote successful leadership, divergence in the institution’s expe…
Disrupting the Adverse Interplay Between Psychiatric and Medical Illnesses
Psychiatric illnesses increase the morbidity and mortality of comorbid medical disease, and current research targets the identification of specific mechanisms that account for this association. Psychotic illness complicates the management of chronic diseases where self-care activities often play a major role, such as in the regulation of blood glucose levels in diabetes. In this issue, Wykes et al. describe an interactive relationship between cog…

What’s in a Name? Psychosomatic Medicine and Biobehavioral Medicine
Freedland, Kenneth E. PhD; de Geus, Eco J.C. PhD; Golden, Robert N. MD; Kop, Willem J. PhD; Miller, Gregory E. PhD; Vaccarino, Viola MD, PhD; Brumback, Babette PhD; Llabre, Maria M. PhD; White, Victoria J. MA; Sheps, David S. MD, MSPH Author Information
Statistical Guidelines for Psychosomatic Medicine
During the past two years, Psychosomatic Medicine joined many of the leading medical journals in adopting the CONSORT, MOOSE, QUOROM, and STARD guidelines for reporting clinical trials, meta-analyses, and diagnostic studies. This year, we are implementing our own set of statistical analysis guidelines. In doing so, we are joining a much smaller number of journals. Whether we are setting a trend, or simply going out on a limb, remains to be seen. …

Progression to Aids, a clinical Aids condition and mortality
Background. The primary aim of this study is to examine prospectively the association of stressful life events, social support, depressive symptoms, anger, serum cortisol and lymphocyte subsets with changes in multiple measures of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease progression. Methods. Ninety-six HIV-infected gay men without symptoms or anti-retroviral medication use at baseline were studied every 6 months for up to 9 years. Disease prog…
Impact of Stressful Life Events, Depression, Social Support, Coping, and Cortisol on Progression to Aids
OBJECTIVE: This study examined prospectively the effects of stressful events, depressive symptoms, social support, coping methods, and cortisol levels on progression of HIV-1 infection. METHOD: Eighty-two homosexual men with HIV type-1 infection without AIDS or symptoms at baseline were studied every 6 months for up to 7. 5 years. Men were recruited from rural and urban areas in North Carolina, and none was using antiretroviral medications at ent…
High Versus Low Basal Cortisol Secretion in Asymptomatic, Medication-free HIV-infected Men
The authors hypothesized that HIV-infected men with high basal cortisol secretion would exhibit greater stress-related reductions in the ratio of Th1/Th2 cell-derived cytokines and numbers of CD8+ T and NK lymphocytes than low basal cortisol secretors. A semistructured interview was used to assess life stress during the preceding 6 months of 94 HIV-infected men classified as high and low cortisol secretors (n = 47/group). Increased levels of seve…
Progression to Aids
OBJECTIVE: We examined the effects of stress, depressive symptoms, and social support on the progression of HIV infection. METHODS: Eighty-two HIV-infected gay men without symptoms or AIDS at baseline were followed up every 6 months for up to 5.5 years. Men were recruited from rural and urban areas in North Carolina as part of the Coping in Health and Illness Project. Disease progression was defined using criteria for AIDS (CD4+ lymphocyte count …
The Influence of Depressive Symptoms on Cognitive Difficulties Affecting Daily Living in Hiv-1 Infection
Silva, S.; Baldewicz, T.; Jackson, E.; Leserman, J.; Perkins, D.O.; Howe, L.; Evans, D.L.; Golden, R.N. Author Information
Heart Rate Variability in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
OBJECTIVE: This study tested the hypothesis that coronary artery disease patients with higher depression scores have lower heart rate variability during daily life. METHOD: Thirty-three men and nine women, ranging in age from 46 to 79, with coronary artery disease and exercise-induced ischemia were studied. The standard deviation of normal R-R intervals (SDNN) and average heart rate were obtained from 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiographic monit…
Treatment of depression in cancer patients is associated with better life adaptation
Major depression occurs in a significant number of cancer patients, and there is evidence that cancer patients with depression do not receive adequate antidepressant treatment. In an uncontrolled pilot study, the authors assess the degree of depression and the quality of life after the initiation of antidepressant medication treatment in 12 depressed cancer patients who received adequate antidepressant drugs and in 10 depressed cancer patients wh…
