    Daniel Coyle.
    Summary: "Daniel Coyle spent three years researching the question of what makes a successful group tick, visiting some of the world's most productive groups--including Pixar, Navy SEALs, Zappos, IDEO, and the San Antonio Spurs. Coyle discovered that high-performing groups relentlessly generate three key messages that enable them to excel: 1) Safety - we are connected. 2) Shared Risk - we are vulnerable together. 3) Purpose - we are part of the same story. Filled with first-hand reporting, fascinating science, compelling real-world stories, and leadership tools that can apply to businesses, schools, sports, families, and any kind of group, The Culture Code will revolutionize how you think about creating and sustaining successful groups."-- Provided by publisher.

    A double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of inactivated influenza virus vaccines in patients with multiple sclerosis. The vaccine used contained 200 chick cell-agglutinating (CCA) units of influenza A/New Jersey/76 and 200 CCA units of influenza A/Victoria/75 whole viruses (Merrell-National Laboratories, Cincinnati, Ohio). The frequency of clinical relapses of multiple sclerosis was the same in the vaccine-treated (four of 33 patients) and placebo-treated (four of 33) groups. An untreated control group had a slightly higher rate of relapses (four of 22). Toxic reactions to the vaccine were not a significant problem. The efficacy of the vaccination as measured by titers of hemagglutination-inhibiting antibody was comparable to that reported for the general population. However, patients with preexisting antibody were less responsive to the vaccine than normal controls studied previously. The patients who did not respond to the vaccine tended to be older and more disabled. There were no changes in titers of antibody to rubeola or rubella virus after vaccination or in relation to change in clinical course. It is concluded that the vaccine is safe and effective in patients with multiple sclerosis.
