No full textThis photograph shows Springfield College faculty member Peter John Polito sitting at a computer. Professor Polito attended Somerville High School and graduated in 1960. He then attended Northeastern University, where he earned his BA in Physics (1965), MS in Physics (1967), and Ph.D. in Physics (1971). Springfield College hired Polito as a physics professor in 1970. While teaching, he also served on the school’s Environmental Studies Committee and ran a ten-week seminar called “Environmental Issues of the 1980’s: Acid Rain, Hazardous Waste, Agricultural Preservation.” Furthermore, he served on the Steering Committee of the Hampden County Energy Task Force. Springfield College granted him tenure in January 1975. In 1980, Professor Polito was chosen as one of twenty undergraduate faculty members from across the country to discuss energy in the Texaco Faculty Forum. He is now a professor of computer science and physics, and he continues to teach at Springfield College. His hobbies, as listed in his faculty background sheet on October 3, 1980, include carpentry, gardening, and auto repairs. He is also the creator of Springfield College's Humanics Day

No full textSimultaneous curvature correction at the time of the penile fracture repair: surgical and functional outcomes
No full textLucio Dell’Atti,1 Simone Scarcella,2 Matteo Tallè,2 Massimo Polito,3 Andrea Benedetto Galosi21Department of Urology, University Hospital “Ospedali Riuniti”, Ancona, Italy; 2Department of Urology, Polytechnic University of Marche, Ancona, Italy; 3Andrology Unit, University Hospital “Ospedali Riuniti”, Ancona, ItalyPurpose: After a penile fracture (PF), an early surgical exploration and defect closure of the lesions are recommended to prevent long-term complications. However, postoperative unsatisfactory penile curvatures are frequent in the literature. In this study, we wished to present surgical outcomes of PF after surgical repair approach with an early intraoperative curvature correction and update our series with postoperative follow-up.Patients and methods: An institutional retrospective review study of 36 patients undergoing surgical treatment for PF was performed. Mean age of patients was 53.2 years. All surgical explorations were performed within 12 hours after the traumatic event. The surgical repair with a contemporary penile plication was then made to straighten the tunica angulations in patients with curvature greater than 30°, using 2– 3 pairs of 2–0 absorbable suture of polydioxanone.Results: The length of the tear ranged from 8 to 20 mm. 77.7% of the patients required a correction of the cavernous body deviation. No early complications occurred in any case. The median patient stays in the hospital was 3.4 days. At a mean follow-up of 20.6 months, all patients were able to insert the penis in the partner’s vagina, and were satisfied overall with sexual intercourse; three patients (10.7%) reported residual pain and discomfort for the knots of the sutures.Conclusions: An early intraoperative curvature correction may be used for a variety of angulation deformities and severe degrees of deviations secondary to a repair after penile trauma, and may be helpful in preventing postoperative morbidity.Keywords: penile fracture, penile curvature, corpora cavernosa, corporoplast
Perceptions of Social Support as Experienced by Caregivers of Children With Special Needs
No full textAbstract
Date Presented 3/30/2017
Perceived social support of caregivers of a child with special needs was analyzed through use of the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey. Results indicate that education level, employment status, marital status, and location of residence impact social support, broadening the scope of practice in occupational therapy.
