Sommario/riassunto

Ostrowsky identifies the causes and consequences of alcohol and marijuana use among adolescents. Edward Khantzian's ""self-medication hypothesis"" provides the theoretical framework. However, using longitudinal data from the Rochester Youth Development Study, Ostrowsky extends Khantzian's perspective and also moves beyond previous tests of the hypothesis. Overall, the results provide little support to the five predictions of the self-medication hypothesis, but a few interesting findings did emerge. In terms of drug use, weak school commitment predicts an increase in alcohol use and weak parent

Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the emerging role of endoscopy in the evolution of otologic surgery and details both basic and advanced endoscopic ear surgery techniques. Rich with color images, this text addresses commonly encountered difficulties in chronic ear surgery and explains how endoscope-assisted surgical techniques can help. The use of endoscopes has given rise to the concept of ""functional endoscopic ear surgery,"" which helps reduce cholesteatoma recurrence rates while allowing less invasive, more physiologic surgical approaches.
