Background: COPD is a major cause of all-cause mortality. We examined predictors of 1-year mortality in patients with severe COPD and major depression after inpatient treatment in a rehabilitation hospital.Methods: We screened 898 consecutively admitted patients. Of these, 138 patients received the diagnoses of COPD according to American Thoracic Society Guidelines and major depression by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition and signed consent; 67 were randomized to a treatment adherence enhancement intervention and 71 to usual care. We assessed history of falls, dyspnea-related disability, severity of depression, medical burden, and cognitive functioning. Following discharge from inpatient rehabilitation, participants were prospectively followed, and mortality was ascertained over 52 weeks from hospital notes and reports of primary care physicians and relatives.Results: One-year, all-cause mortality was 22% (31 of 138). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that history of falls in the 6 months preceding hospital admission was the strongest predictor of mortality (OR, 3.05; 95% CI, 1.40-6.66; P < .005). Dyspnea during activities (Pulmonary Functional Status and Dyspnea Questionnaire-Modified domain) was also associated with mortality (OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.02-1.08; P < .002). Depression severity, medical burden, and cognitive impairment were not predictors of mortality.Conclusions: Recent falls and dyspnea during activities identify subgroups of depressed patients with COPD at increased risk for all-cause mortality. These subgroups are in need of clinical attention and follow-up and can serve as targets for prevention research aiming to inform clinical strategies and public health planning.

TRAINING of executives - Abstract
This article presents a summary of trends in management training and development (MT & D) in several countries as of June 1980. The Greek market from the point of view of MT & D is at a low level, both from the services provided and from demand, which determines the provision of services. The German market for training of managers is at a much higher level both in quantity and quality. German businesses are more interested than Greek ones in MT & D. British development and training of executives has been institutionalized with the levy system of Industrial Training Boards. According to this system, each undertaking is required to deposit a sum of money every year, proportionate to the number of people employed. In the U.S. the level of development and training of executive personnel is even higher and the market narrower than that of Britain.

- Abstract
A 27-year-old woman who wants to get rid of contact lenses and spectacles was seen at our clinic. She had strabismus surgery as a child and was patched for the right eye but now shows mild nondisturbing exophoria. Infrequently, she likes to box in the sports school. Her corrected distance visual acuity at presentation in the right eye was 20/16 with -3.75 -0.75 × 50 and in the left eye 20/16 with -3.75 -1.25 × 142. Her cycloplegic refraction in the right eye was -3.75 -0.75 × 44 and in the left eye was -3.25 -1.25 × 147. The left eye is the dominant eye. The tear break-up time was 8 seconds in both eyes, and the Schirmer tear test was 7 to 10 mm in right and left eyes, respectively. Pupil sizes under mesopic conditions were 6.62 mm and 6.68 mm. The anterior chamber depth (ACD) (measured from the epithelium) in the right eye was 3.89 mm and in the left eye was 3.87 mm. The corneal thickness was 503 μm and 493 μm of the right and left eye, respectively. Corneal endothelial cell density was on average 2700 cells/mm2 for both eyes. Slitlamp biomicroscopy showed clear corneas and a normal flat iris configuration. Supplemental Figures 1 to 4 (available at http://links.lww.com/JRS/A818, http://links.lww.com/JRS/A819, http://links.lww.com/JRS/A820, and http://links.lww.com/JRS/A821) show the corneal topography and Belin-Ambrósio deviation (BAD) maps at presentation of the right eye and left eye, respectively. Would you consider this patient a candidate for corneal refractive surgery (eg, laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy, laser in situ keratomileusis [LASIK], or small-incision lenticule extraction [SMILE] procedure)? Has your opinion changed given the recent opinion of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding LASIK?1 The patient herself is slightly favoring an implantation of a phakic intraocular lens (pIOL), as she prefers something reversible. Would you implant a pIOL, and which type of IOL, for this level of myopia? What is your diagnosis or are additional diagnostic methodologies needed to establish a diagnosis? What is your treatment advice for this patient? REFERENCES 1. U.S. Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
