✦ Synopsis

The Koach project included not only assessments before and after the residential phase, but also an ongoing evaluation of the therapeutic process. A systematic self-evaluation of achievement by the Koach trainees, and a concurrent evaluation by the commanderftherapists was built into the Koach project as one of its key elements. Each trainee formulated with his commanderltherapist a broad outcome area in which he wished to gain therapeutic improvement, and then broke it down into specific turget behaviors which they contracted to work on during the project. Progress on each target behavior was monitored every two days. Results indicate a linear pattern of improvement and a high degree of agreement between the ratings of the trainees and those of the therapistsfcommanders. These findings. are congruent with the subsequent impressions of both the participants and the therapists regarding the overall effects of the project.

The long-term psychological effects of war-related stress were assessed 3 years after the Persian Gulf War with the Mississippi Scale for Desert Storm War Zone Personnel (M-PTSD-DS), developed from the Mississippi Scale for Combat-Related PTSD (M-PTSD; Keane, Caddell, & Taylor, 1988).

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Veratrum V

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Veratrum Viride††The Veratrum viride studied was the whole-powdered drug marketed by Irwin, Neisler & Co. under the name, Vertavis. The work reported herein was supported by a grant from this firm. The batch of powder used in these experiments was stated by the manufacturer to have been assayed biologically by the Craw method on Daphnia magna. One Craw unit of the material studied was stated to be 15.6mg. With regard to this assay, Mr. R. O. Craw has been so kind as to allow us to publish a brief explanation: A reference lot of Yerolrum oirid; powder was set-aside as a standard and a 10% w/v aqueous extract was made of this powder. The average median length of life in 50 assays of 1000 daphnia on immersion in the solution was determined to be 2.22 hours. The daphnia were considered dead when the heart was found to be in systolic standstill on microscopic examination. Succeeding lots of powder were assayed and their potency determined by relating the median length of life of daphnia to 2.22 hours, which is one unit. Twenty assays of 10 animals each were used on each lot of powder.‡‡The authors wish to thank Dr. J. F. A.,McManus of the Department of Pathology for a pathologic report on the tissues, and Mr. James Thomas and Mrs. Bobby E. Teague for technical assistance.
