Echocardiographic techniques are becoming more widespread for evaluating patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. Because it affords an excellent overall view of the heart, two-dimensional echocardiography, rather than M-mode echocardiography, is the imaging procedure of choice when dealing with coronary artery disease. This technique can be used to make the initial diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, diagnose complications, and assess prognosis following myocardial infarction. Additionally by combining this test with stress testing, latent coronary artery disease can be detected. Recovery of wall motion can be assessed following interventions such as thrombolysis or balloon angioplasty. Investigational and future uses include tissue characterization, which may allow detection of ischemic but potentially viable myocardium, direct coronary visualization for detection of atherosclerotic involvement of the proximal coronary arteries and myocardial contrast echocardiography. The latter technique allows visualization of perfusion by way of injecting contrast material into the coronary circulation. This has been demonstrated to be an accurate means of determining myocardial infarction size in an animal model and is currently being used in a number of centers in patients at the time of cardiac catheterization. In summary two-dimensional echocardiography currently allows assessment of patients with myocardial infarction from the time of their presentation through their convalescent period with respect to diagnosis, prognosis and presence of complications. Exercise echocardiography can diagnose latent coronary artery disease. The newer investigational techniques show promise for furthering our ability to evaluate patients with coronary artery disease using echocardiography.

Siegel describes issues and controversies related to current and newly proposed definitions of learning disabilities that include the use of intelligence as diagnostic criteria. Several critical controversies and questions are reviewed concerning whether learning disabilities is a specific, possibly neurologic type dysfunction and whether there are multiple subtypes of learning disabilities, specific to academic problem domains. In subsequent sections, research on reading and arithmetic disabilities and a description of related assessment requirements are presented. In the final section, recommendations and accommodations for the remediation of learning problems are presented.

Referral reasons for learning disabled students

1986

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Referral information for 269 LD students in grades one through five was examined. Referral reasons were classified according to three major types: (a) academic, (b) behavior, and (c) academic and behavior. These major referral types also were analyzed according to particular concern (e.g., reading deficits, attentional problems, etc.). The results indicated that the majority of students were referred for either academic (42%) or both academic and behavioral (41 Vo) reasons; referrals initiated solely for behavior problems accounted for only 17% of the total. The grade level analysis revealed that academic concerns were less likely to be noted in the first and fifth grades, and that the number of referrals diminished as grade level advanced (51 Vo of the sample was diagnosed by second grade). Referral statements within each major referral type tended to be general, as opposed to specifying particular concerns to be explored in the evaluation. Preservice and in-service training recommendations are given.
