“…This is consistent with previous research that indicates the total error score on the Category Test effectively discriminates brain-injured from non-brain-injured individuals (Boyle, 1988;Charter et al, 1987;Corrigan et al, 1987;Davidoff et al, 1985;Everett, 1984;Goldstein, 1990;Horton & Siegel, 1990;Matarazzo et al, 1974;Matarazzo et al, 1976;Moses, 1985;Pendleton & Heaton, 1982;Roth et al, 1989;Sarazin & Spreen, 1986).…”

“…43-44). Results from this study are consistent with previous research in terms of the difference between altered forms of the Category Test (Beaumont, 1975;Kupke, 1983;Maclnnes et al, 1981;Miller, 1989), the relationship between neuropsychological impairment and Category Test performance (Boyle, 1988;Charter et al, 1987;Corrigan et al, 1987;Davidoff et al, 1985;Everett, 1984;Goldstein, 1990;Horton & Siegel, 1990;Matarazzo et al, 1974;Matarazzo et al, 1976;Moses, 1985;Pendleton & Heaton, 1982;Roth et al, 1989;Sarazin & Spreen, 1986), the relationship between neuropsychological impairment and the WAIS-R intelligence quotients and factor scores (Bigler et al, 1981;Brooks, 1983;Chadwick et al , 1981b;Jennett, 1986;Levin et al , 1982;Levin & Eisenberg, 1979), and the suspected neuropsychological functions tapped by the Category Test (Boyle, 1988;Golden et al, 1981;Halstead, 1947;Klonoff, 1971;Lansdell & Donnelly, 1977;Nussbaum & Bigler, 1989;Rattan et al, 1986;Reitan & Wolfson, 1985;Rothke, 1986;Swiercinsky, 1979) . Despite these consistencies, however, several considerations should be noted regarding this study.…”

The relative toxicities of amantadine and rimantadine were compared in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving healthy adults. In separate studies, drugs were administered at a dosage of 200 mg/day (52 volunteers) or 300 mg/day (196 volunteers) Clinical trials have documented that amantadine hydrochloride (7,11,14,17,18,22 483, 1978) and rimantadine hydrochloride (6,11,26,33) are effective prophylactic and therapeutic drugs in influenza A virus infections. Several in vitro (10, 31) and animal (1, 28, 31) models have suggested that rimantadine has greater antiviral activity than amantadine against influenza A viruses. However, the relative effectiveness of the two compounds in human infections has not been fully defined.Available information regarding the relative toxicities of the two compounds in humans is also inconclusive. Most studies of amantadine prophylaxis with a dose of 200 mg/day have described few side effects (14,22,25 484, 1978). However, recent work found substantial rates of subjective central nervous system (CNS) complaints and possible adverse effects on objective measures of psychomotor performance at this dosage (4). Rimantadine has been considered to be better tolerated in humans (11), but several studies (25; Noble et al., 18th ICAAC, abstr. no. 484) have not confirmed this observation. Optimal antiviral and therapeutic effects in treatment of influenza A virus infections would likely be achieved with administration of higher drug dosages. If lower drug toxicity were confirmed for rimantadine, then it would be an appropriate candidate for future chemotherapy studies in which higher dosages are used.The present study was undertaken to compare the relative toxicities of equivalent doses of amantadine and rimantadine. Both subjective and objective measures of potential drug side effects were studied at conventional (200 mg/ day) and higher (300 mg/day) dosages in healthy adults. Our results indicated that both drugs were well tolerated at the lower dosage, but that rimantadine was significantly better tolerated than amantadine at a dosage of 300 mg/day.

“…The TMT has demonstrated adequate test-retest reliability over a 14-to 24-week period (Mdn = 20 weeks; Trails A r = .46; Trails B r = .44; Matarazzo, Wiens, Matarazzo, & Goldstein, 1974) although stability may be impacted by population groups and time intervals. Practice effects might be a problem (McCaffrey, Ortega, & Haase, 1993) although research has shown that practice effects between administrations separated by at least 3 months may be negligible (e.g., Basso, Bornstein, & Lang, 1999).…”

The researchers would also like to acknowledge the support of Mr. Aristedes Zavaras and the staff at the Department of Corrections. This project would never have been possible without the commitment and contributions of management, mental health, case management, offender services, and security staff.This document is a research report submitted to the U.S. Department of Justice. This report has not been published by the Department. Opinions or points of view expressed are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official position or policies of the U.S. Department of Justice.ii ABSTRACT One of the most widely debated topics in the field of corrections -the use of long-term administrative segregation (AS) -has suffered from a lack of empirical research. Critics have argued that the conditions of AS confinement exacerbate symptoms of mental illness and create mental illness where none previously existed. Empirical research has had little to offer this debate; the scant empirical research conducted to date suffers from research bias and serious methodological flaws. This study seeks to advance the literature in this regard.This study tested three hypotheses: (1) offenders in AS would develop an array of psychological symptoms consistent with the security housing unit (SHU) syndrome, (2) offenders with and without mental illness would deteriorate over time in AS, but at a rate more rapid and extreme for the mentally ill, and (3) inmates in AS would experience greater psychological deterioration over time than the comparison groups.Study participants included male inmates who were placed in AS and comparison inmates in the general population (GP). Placement into AS or GP conditions occurred as a function of routine prison operations. GP comparison participants included those at risk of AS placement due to their institutional behavior. Inmates in both of these study conditions (AS, GP) were divided into two groups -inmates with mental illness (MI) and with no mental illness (NMI). A third comparison group of inmates with severe mental health problems placed in San Carlos Correctional Facility, a psychiatric care prison facility, was also included. A total of 302 inmates were approached to participate in the study, and 55 refused to participate or later withdrew their consent. Participants were tested at 3-month intervals over a yearlong period.Standardized test data were collected through self-report, correctional staff and clinical staff measures. Tests with demonstrated reliability and validity were selected to assess the eight primary constructs of interest: (1) anxiety, (2) cognitive impairment, (3) depression-hopelessness, (4) hostility-anger control, (5) hypersensitivity, (6) psychosis, (7) somatization, and (8) withdrawal-alienation. Extensive analyses of psychometric properties revealed that inmates self-reported psychological and cognitive symptoms in remarkably reliable and valid ways.The results of this study were largely inconsistent with our hypotheses and the bulk of literature that indi...
