“…The impact of combat exposure was not associated with marital problems in the small National Guard study (Renshaw et al ., 2008), or other studies (Goff et al ., 2007;Hamilton et al ., 2009). Data from National Guard troops may not be representative for various reasons: differences in amount of training time and experience, lacking the support of a military community or the postdeployment activities, and being inserted into preformed full-time units.…”

Deployment has well documented psychological consequences for military personnel. To fully understand the human cost of war, the psychosocial impact of separation and homecoming of military personnel on their families must also be considered. Recent arduous conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan make understanding the impact of war on spouses topical and pertinent. Widespread psychological morbidity and social dysfunction have been reported in spouses of military personnel who have been deployed to combat zones such as Vietnam, with difficulties most acute for spouses of military personnel with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A review of the literature published between 2001 and 2010 assessing the impact of deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan on spouses of military personnel was conducted. A total of 14 US-based studies were identified which examined psychological morbidity, help seeking, marital dysfunction and stress in spouses. Longer deployments, deployment extensions and PTSD in military personnel were found to be associated with psychological problems for the spouse. Methodological differences in the studies limit direct comparisons. Recommendations for future research are outlined. The needs of spouses of military personnel remain an important issue with implications for service provision and occupational capability of both partners.

“…Living with a veteran with PTSD can have a negative impact on the mental health of military partners. Secondary traumatic stress, psychological distress, burden (Yambo & Johnson, ), marital and relationship dis‐satisfaction, difficulty coping (Hamilton, Nelson Goff, Crow, & Reisbig, ), and domestic violence (Dekel et al., ) have been documented. Despite the emerging evidence in family resiliency (Peterson et al., ), most research is limited to investigations on the impact of trauma on the primary victim—the veteran with symptoms of PTSD.…”

“…A score of zero is possible for those with no history of trauma exposure, with a potential maximum score of 33. This survey has been used in military couples research (Hamilton, Nelson‐Goff, Crow, & Reisbig, 2009; Nelson‐Goff et al, 2007), but validity data are not yet available for civilian or military populations (Norris & Hamblen, 2004). All respondents completed this measure, regardless of deployment history.…”

We used proposed standard morphologic criteria as a guideline to conduct a 10-year retrospective review of thyroid fine-needle aspiration specimens that were originally interpreted as "follicular lesion of undetermined significance" and followed by surgical intervention. We sought to investigate whether the indeterminate diagnosis could be minimized by assessing various cytomorphologic features and identifying the features predictive of neoplasia. Using the standard morphologic criteria, we semi-quantitatively assessed a total of 24 cytomorphologic features in 123 aspirates and recorded an overall interpretation on completion of the review. Cyto-histologic correlation was evaluated and logistic regression model was performed to identify cytomorphologic features predictive of neoplasia. Although 32 of 123 aspirates remained in the indeterminate category, the retrospective review reclassified 64 aspirates as non-neoplasia and 27 aspirates as neoplasia. Histologic confirmation was achieved in 47 (73.4%) non-neoplastic and 15 (55.6%) neoplastic aspirates with a diagnostic accuracy of 68.1%. Furthermore, our analysis demonstrated that neoplasia is positively associated with the presence of syncytial tissue fragments, isolated microfollicles, follicles with scalloped borders, scant cytoplasm, irregular nuclear membranes, nuclear overlapping, coarse chromatin, and increased cellularity. On the contrary, the presence of honeycombing tissue fragments, background colloid, and histiocytes inversely correlated with neoplasia. Overall, using proposed standard morphological criteria can minimize the diagnosis of "follicular lesion of undetermined significance," and allow for more accurate cyto-histologic correlation, and thereby playing a substantial role in reducing unnecessary surgical intervention.
