High‐resolution spectroscopic observations have been made of a number of southern Cepheids. The stars studied were part of a long‐term programme to observe southern variable stars and to complete a data base of radial velocities over a long time interval. The radial velocities have a precision of ∼300 m s−1, allowing the detection of velocity differences of ∼1 km s−1 with confidence. Our new data provide a consistent set of data against which other sources of data can be compared. Masses were determined for two systems, the 9‐d Cepheid S Mus (6.2 ± 0.2 M⊙) and the 5‐d Cepheid V350 Sgr (6.0 ± 0.9 M⊙). For another seven Cepheids (Y Car, YZ Car, AX Cir, BP Cir, V636 Sco, W Sgr and T Mon), new or improved orbital solutions were found. New results presented here include the first orbital solution for AX Cir, a completely revised orbital solution for YZ Car, which established its eccentricity and orbital motion, and a new pulsation period (2.398 19 d) for BP Cir. The pulsational mass determinations provide further confirmation of the convergence of mass determinations between dynamical and evolutionary methods.

“…Although the relationship between family or marital distress and healthcare utilization has rarely been studied directly, there is considerable evidence that psychological distress is associated with higher healthcare utilization. (Andersen, Francis, Lion, & Daughety, 1977; Barsky, Wyshak, & Klerman, 1986; Godkin & Rice, 1981; Gortmaker, Eckenrode, & Gore, 1982; Manning & Wells, 1992; Mechanic, Cleary, & Greenley, 1982; Pope, 1979). Although the effect of psychological distress may be partly mediated through general and physical health perceptions, there also appear to be direct effects (Manning & Wells, 1992).…”

Perceived Family Criticism and Primary Care Utilization: Psychosocial and Biomedical Pathways

We explored the relationship of perceived family criticism to subsequent healthcare utilization in patients attending a family medicine center. We examined: a) the relationship of perceived criticism to subsequent utilization for biomedical and psychosocial/somatic problems; b) the mediating effects of self-rated mental health and physical function; and c) the mediating effects of social support. The analyses were adjusted for age, sex, race, education, health insurance, and martial status. Higher perceived criticism predicted more psychosocial/somatic and biomedical visits. The relationship of perceived criticism with psychosocial/somatic visits was entirely mediated through self-rated mental health. The relationship of perceived criticism with biomedical visits was partly mediated through self-rated physical function and, in part, independent. Social support played no role in explaining these relationships. Further research is needed to determine whether lowering perceived family criticism lowers primary care utilization.

“…A strong correlation exists between mental health disorders and increased use of general health care services, especially for the elderly, who have a high co-morbidity of physical and mental disorders. (Lave, 1990;Shapiro et al, 1984;Hankin et al, 1982;Andersen et al, 1977). There is also evidence that the use of outpatient mental health services decreases the use of other medical services (Lave, 1990;Mumford et al, 1984).…”
