Social Support and Self-Coping of Depressed African-American Cancer Patients
Abstract:
This study examined the differences among 57 depressed and nondepressed African-American cancer patients and their use of social support and self-coping resources. In-depth interviews were used to elicit narrative responses and Fisher's exact test was used to compare the 2 groups. The depressed patients, as determined by 3 depression scales, more frequently reported having no supportive family, lacking a support system, having sedentary hobbies, or using alcohol or drugs as coping strategies compared to the nondepressed patients. To better detect and treat depression, health-care providers must carefully evaluate the social support and coping resource needs in this vulnerable population.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
