General Practice in Australia 2000 retains most of the format of its predecessor, but many of the chapters have additional (as well as updated) information. There are some entirely new chapters on topics not covered at all (or only in passing) in the first edition. There is also a minor change of style: the Department says that it allowed authors “... more freedom to explore contentious issues ...

READING and, with the help of colleagues, 'field-testing' this manual at various times throughout the Christmas season, I was struck with how sihiilar the editors' problem is with that of the housewife. The latter has to recycle traditional dishes in a fresh manner just as the editors of this manual attempt to rearrange material that has appeared elsewhere often by the same publisher and invari...

Reflection on past achievements and future challenges 10 years after the establishment of the Australian General Practice Training program.

Magnetic excitations in the quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnet IPA-CuCl3 are studied by cold neutron inelastic scattering. Strongly dispersive gap excitations are observed. Contrary to previously proposed models, the system is best described as an asymmetric quantum spin ladder. The observed spectrum is interpreted in terms of composite Haldane spin chains. The key difference from actual S=1...

This paper reports on an exploratory study investigating links between sexual health and social capital in a South African mining community. In this study, social capital is defined in terms of people's membership of voluntary community organizations (e.g. church, residents' associations, youth groups). Using biomedical and social survey data from a stratified random sample of 1,211 Carletonvil...

It is well known that stress is a significant risk factor for the development of drug addiction and addiction relapse. Remarkably, the cognitive processes involved in the effects of stress on addictive behavior remain poorly understood. Here it is proposed that stress-induced changes in the neural circuits controlling instrumental action provide a potential mechanism by which stress affects the...
