We studied the effects after single doses of niguldipine ( 0.3 , 0.6 , and 0.9 mg intravenously ; 8 and 16 mg orally ) and nifedipine ( 2 mg intravenously ; 20 mg orally ) in healthy male volunteers in randomized placebo-controlled experiments . Total peripheral resistance ( TPR ) , heart rate-corrected electromechanical systole ( QS2c ) , and preejection period ( PEPc ) were assessed noninvasively . Both drugs induced a similar pronounced decreased in TRP , indicating peripheral vasodilation , followed by increasing heart rate and cardiac output , a decrease in diastolic blood pressure , and a shortening of the PEPc . QS2c was unchanged after niguldipine . The prolongation of QS2c after oral nifedipine is suggestive of a negative inotropic effect . We conclude that the vasodilatory effects of dihydropyridines may ( as for nifedipine ) or may not ( as for niguldipine ) be associated with changes that are suggestive of negative inotropic effects , and that this difference is detectable by noninvasive methods in healthy subjects ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1120 ] ] } ]

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a brief CBT intervention for anxiety with children diagnosed with Asperger syndrome ( AS ) . A second interest was to evaluate whether more intensive parent involvement would increase the child 's ability to manage anxiety outside of the clinic setting . METHODS Seventy-one children aged ten to twelve years were recruited to participate in the anxiety programme . All children were diagnosed with AS and the presence of anxiety symptoms was accepted on parent report via brief interview . Children were randomly assigned to one of three conditions : intervention for child only , intervention for child and parent , wait-list control . RESULTS The two intervention groups demonstrated significant decreases in parent-reported anxiety symptoms at follow-up and a significant increase in the child 's ability to generate positive strategies in an anxiety-provoking situation . There were a number of significant differences between the two interventions to suggest parent involvement as beneficial . CONCLUSIONS The sample of children with AS in this study presented with a profile of anxiety similar to a sample of clinically diagnosed anxious children . The intervention was endorsed by parents as a useful programme for children diagnosed with Asperger syndrome and exhibiting anxiety symptoms , and active parent involvement enhanced the usefulness of the programme . Limitations of the study and future research are discussed ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1602 ] ] } ]

[ { "id": "24271", "type": "document", "text": [ "Bronchial matrix and inflammation respond to inhaled steroids despite ongoing allergen exposure in asthma . BACKGROUND Inflammatory and structural changes of the airway mucosa are chronic features of asthma . The mechanisms underlying these changes and their modulation by steroid prophylaxis have not been clarified . OBJECTIVE We postulated that asymptomatic ongoing allergen exposure could drive airway inflammation as well as changes in the extracellular matrix ( ECM ) , and that inhaled steroids could prevent this . METHODS Therefore , we exposed patients with mild asthma to 2 weeks of repeated low-dose allergen , with concomitant inhaled steroid or placebo treatment . Bronchial biopsies , which were taken before and after this exposure , were stained and digitally analysed . The ECM proteins in asthmatics were also compared with a normal control group . RESULTS Low-dose allergen exposure alone resulted in a significant increase of bronchial epithelial macrophages . Despite ongoing allergen exposure , inhaled steroids reduced the numbers of mucosal eosinophils , neutrophils and T lymphocytes . At baseline , the mean density of the proteoglycans ( PGS ) biglycan and decorin were , respectively , higher and lower in the bronchial mucosa of asthmatics as compared with normal controls . Steroid treatment , during allergen exposure , increased the mean density of the PGS biglycan and versican . CONCLUSION We conclude that chronic allergen exposure induces inflammatory changes in the bronchial mucosa . Despite ongoing allergen exposure , steroid treatment decreases mucosal inflammatory cells while altering PG density . The latter observation highlights the need to examine steroid-induced changes closely in the airway structure in patients with asthma ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1777 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVE The short-term benefit of risperidone in ameliorating severe disruptive behavior in pediatric patients with autism spectrum disorders is well established ; however , only one placebo-controlled , long-term study of efficacy is available . METHOD Thirty-six children with an autism spectrum disorder ( 5-17 years old ) accompanied by severe tantrums , aggression , or self-injurious behavior , started 8-week open-label treatment with risperidone . Responders ( n = 26 ) continued treatment for another 16 weeks , followed by a double-blind discontinuation ( n = 24 ; two patients discontinued treatment because of weight gain ) consisting of either 3 weeks of taper and 5 weeks of placebo only or continuing use of risperidone . Relapse was defined as a significant deterioration of symptoms based on clinical judgment and a parent questionnaire . RESULTS Risperidone was superior to placebo in preventing relapse : this occurred in 3 of 12 patients continuing on risperidone versus 8 of 12 who switched to placebo ( p = .049 ) . Weight gain , increased appetite , anxiety , and fatigue were the most frequently reported side effects . CONCLUSIONS This study indicates the effectiveness of risperidone during a period of several months , reducing disruptive behavior in about half of the children with autism spectrum disorders .

CONTEXT Supplemental perioperative oxygen has been variously reported to halve or double the risk of surgical wound infection . OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that supplemental oxygen reduces infection risk in patients following colorectal surgery . DESIGN , SETTING , AND PATIENTS A double-blind , randomized controlled trial of 300 patients aged 18 to 80 years who underwent elective colorectal surgery in 14 Spanish hospitals from March 1 , 2003 , to October 31 , 2004 . Wound infections were diagnosed by blinded investigators using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria . Baseline patient characteristics , anesthetic treatment , and potential confounding factors were recorded . INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomly assigned to either 30 % or 80 % fraction of inspired oxygen ( FIO2 ) intraoperatively and for 6 hours after surgery . Anesthetic treatment and antibiotic administration were standardized . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Any surgical site infection ( SSI ) ; secondary outcomes included return of bowel function and ability to tolerate solid food , ambulation , suture removal , and duration of hospitalization . RESULTS A total of 143 patients received 30 % perioperative oxygen and 148 received 80 % perioperative oxygen . Surgical site infection occurred in 35 patients ( 24.4 % ) administered 30 % FIO2 and in 22 patients ( 14.9 % ) administered 80 % FIO2 ( P=.04 ) . The risk of SSI was 39 % lower in the 80 % FIO2 group ( relative risk [ RR ] , 0.61 ; 95 % confidence interval [ CI ] , 0.38-0.98 ) vs the 30 % FIO2 group . After adjustment for important covariates , the RR of infection in patients administered supplemental oxygen was 0.46 ( 95 % CI , 0.22-0.95 ; P = .04 ) . None of the secondary outcomes varied significantly between the 2 treatment groups .

BACKGROUND Subgroups of breast cancer that have an impaired response to endocrine treatment , despite hormone receptor positivity , are still poorly defined . Breast cancer can be subdivided according to standard pathological parameters including histological type , grade , and assessment of proliferation . These parameters are the net result of combinations of genetic alterations effecting tumour behaviour and could potentially reflect subtypes that respond differently to endocrine treatment . AIMS To investigate the usefulness of these parameters as predictors of the response to tamoxifen in premenopausal women with breast cancer . MATERIALS/METHODS Clinically established pathological parameters were assessed and related to the tamoxifen response in 500 available tumour specimens from 564 premenopausal patients with breast cancer randomised to either two years of tamoxifen or no treatment with 14 years of follow up . Proliferation was further evaluated by immunohistochemical Ki-67 expression . RESULTS Oestrogen receptor positive ductal carcinomas responded as expected to tamoxifen , whereas the difference in recurrence free survival between control and tamoxifen treated patients was less apparent in the relatively few lobular carcinomas . For histological grade , there was no obvious difference in treatment response between the groups . The relation between proliferation and tamoxifen response seemed to be more complex , with a clear response in tumours with high and low proliferation , whereas tumours with intermediate proliferation defined by Ki-67 responded more poorly .

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the angiotensin-converting enzyme ( ACE ) inhibitor enalapril and diuretic indapamide on the peripheral blood pressure and the central blood pressure in Chinese patients with essential hypertension . METHODS This study was a double blind , randomized study . Informed consent were given by all patients . After 2 weeks of placebo run-in period , 105 patients with mild or moderate essential hypertension were randomized to receive either enalapril ( 10 mg per day ) or indapamide ( 2.5 mg per day ) for 8 weeks . Radial pulse wave recordings were performed in all the patients before the active treatments were given and at the end of the study . Only those patients who have finished 8 weeks of active treatment in both groups were included into the final analysis . RESULTS One hundred one patients ( 51 in enalapril group and 50 in indapamide group ) completed the study . No significant difference ( all P values > 0.05 ) was found in baseline data between the two groups . After 8 weeks of treatment , all the parameters of pulse wave ( except heart rates in both groups and augmentation index in indapamide group ) decreased significantly . Comparison of the 2 groups showed that there were no significant differences ( all P values > 0.05 ) in all the parameters of pulse wave except that the central systolic blood pressure , augmentation and augmentation index were significantly lower in enalapril group than in indapamide group . In enalapril group , the reduced values of systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure in central aorta were significantly larger than those in brachial artery . However , the difference was not observed in indapamide group . CONCLUSIONS Enalapril and indapamide are both similarly effective in reducing peripheral arterial blood pressure . Moreover , enalapril is more effective in reducing central systolic pressure and augmentation index than indapamide .

CONTEXT Hyperactivity and inattention are common symptoms in children with autistic disorder and related pervasive developmental disorders , but studies of stimulants in these conditions have been inconclusive . OBJECTIVES To determine the efficacy and safety of methylphenidate hydrochloride in children with pervasive developmental disorders and hyperactivity . DESIGN Double-blind , placebo-controlled , crossover trial followed by open-label continuation . SETTING Five academic outpatient clinics . PARTICIPANTS Seventy-two drug-free children , aged 5 to 14 years , with pervasive developmental disorders accompanied by moderate to severe hyperactivity . INTERVENTIONS Prior to randomization , subjects entered a 1-week test-dose phase in which each subject received placebo for 1 day followed by increasing doses of methylphenidate ( low , medium , and high doses ) that were each given for 2 days . The low , medium , and high doses of methylphenidate hydrochloride were based on weight , and they ranged from 7.5 mg/d to 50.0 mg/d in divided doses . Subjects who tolerated the test dose ( n = 66 ) were assigned to receive placebo for 1 week and then 3 methylphenidate doses in random order during a double-blind , crossover phase . Children responding to methylphenidate then entered 8 weeks of open-label treatment at the individually determined best dose . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome measure was the teacher-rated hyperactivity subscale of the Aberrant Behavior Checklist . Response was defined as \" much improved \" or \" very much improved \" on the Clinical Global Impressions Improvement item coupled with considerable reductions in the parent-rated and/or teacher-rated Aberrant Behavior Checklist hyperactivity subscale score . RESULTS Methylphenidate was superior to placebo on the primary outcome measure , with effect sizes ranging from 0.20 to 0.54 depending on dose and rater . Thirty-five ( 49 % ) of 72 enrolled subjects were classified as methylphenidate responders . Adverse effects led to the discontinuation of study medication in 13 ( 18 % ) of 72 subjects . CONCLUSIONS Methylphenidate was often efficacious in treating hyperactivity associated with pervasive developmental disorders , but the magnitude of response was less than that seen in typically developing children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder .

BACKGROUND The efficacy of nebulized corticosteroids in the prevention of exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ) has been poorly studied . OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of nebulized flunisolide ( 1 mg ) + salbutamol/ipratropium bromide ( 1,875/375 microg ) b.i.d . in comparison with placebo + salbutamol/ipratropium bromide . METHODS This was a randomized , parallel-group , double-blind study on 114 patients with COPD of moderate-to-severe degree . The main outcome was the frequency of severe exacerbations over a 6-month period . Before and after treatment , respiratory symptoms , forced expiratory volume in 1 s ( FEV ( 1 ) ) , shuttle walking test distance and St. George 's Respiratory Questionnaire scores were evaluated . RESULTS The total number of exacerbations was slightly lower in the flunisolide group compared to the placebo group ( 19 vs. 34 , p = 0.054 ) ; the number of patients experiencing at least one exacerbation during the study was also decreased ( 16 vs. 26 , p = 0.059 ) . In particular , type 3 Anthonisens 's exacerbations were significantly reduced by flunisolide ( p = 0.044 ) . In the placebo group , scores were higher than in the flunisolide group but nonsignificant for dyspnea , cough , sputum amount and purulence . FEV ( 1 ) was significantly increased compared to baseline in both groups , and the area under the FEV ( 1 ) -time curve during the 6-month period was significantly greater in the flunisolide group ( 5.2 +/- 10.6 vs. 2.1 +/- 5.0 , flunisolide vs. placebo , respectively ; p = 0.047 ) . For shuttle walking test distance and scores of the St. George 's Respiratory Questionnaire , no significant difference between the baseline evaluation and the end of the study was observed in both groups .

Methods Seventy-two patients were randomly divided into two groups , the 36 patients in the treated group were treated with FRCL , and the other 36 patients in the control group simply treated with Western medicine . Efficacy of treatment on clinical condition and some immune function ( IgA , IgG , CD3 , CD4 ) were observed . RESULTS In the treated group , 28 patients were cured ( 77.8 % ) , treatment was markedly effective in 4 patients ( 11.1 % ) , effective in 2 ( 5.5 % ) and ineffective in 2 ( 5.6 % ) , with the total effective rate of 94.4 % . The corresponding number in the control group was 20 ( 55.6 % ) , 7 ( 19.4 % ) , 6 ( 16.7 % ) , 3 ( 8.3 % ) and 91.7 % , respectively . The cure rate in the treated group was obviously superior to that in the control group ( P < 0.05 ) . FRCL could improve serum IgA , IgG , CD3 , CD4 , and CD4/CD8 , lower serum IgE , these indexes in the treated group were significantly different to those in the control group ( P < 0.05 ) .

Postoperative hemodynamic evaluation revealed no significant differences between the groups . However , group I exhibited a tendency toward a better stroke-work index ( 135 +/- 18 % vs. 102 +/- 5 % recovery 15 minutes after bypass and 145 +/- 16 % vs. 119 +/- 11 % recovery 105 min after bypass ) . There were fewer patients in group I ( 5/15 ) needing inotropic support compared to group II ( 9/14 ) . The myocardial content of ATP and creatine phosphate showed no significant differences during ischemia and reperfusion . It is concluded that the myocardial protection during ischemia was sufficient to prevent significant reductions of myocardial ATP and creatine phosphate irrespective of supplementation with CP ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1365 ] ] } ]

In order to assess whether the administration of salmeterol/fluticasone propionate combination ( 50/250 mcg by Diskus ) for 1 week induces tolerance to the bronchoprotective effect of salmeterol on allergen challenge , a single-blind , cross-over study was carried out . We studied nine subjects ( eight men and one woman ; mean age+/-SD : 31.3+/-11.0 yr ) with mild intermittent allergic asthma , never treated with regular beta2-agonists or inhaled corticosteroids . In a previous allergen challenge all subjects had shown a positive early airway response ( EAR ) to allergen . They underwent allergen challenge after 1-week treatment with placebo and a single dose of placebo immediately before allergen challenge ( T1 ) , or 1-week treatment with placebo and a single dose of salmeterol/fluticasone immediately before allergen challenge ( T2 ) , or 1-week treatment with salmeterol/fluticasone combination bid and a single dose of salmeterol/fluticasone immediately before allergen challenge ( T3 ) . EAR was evaluated both as maximum decrease in FEV1 ( MaxDeltaFEV1 % ) after allergen challenge and as area under FEV1 -time curve . MaxDeltaFEV1 % during allergen challenge protected by placebo ( T1 ) was significantly greater than MaxDeltaFEV1 % during allergen challenges protected by single dose of salmeterol/fluticasone ( T2 ) and by salmeterol/fluticasone 1-week treatment ( T3 ) . No difference was found in MaxDeltaFEV1 % between T2 and T3 . The same results were observed also after computing the area under the curve for each challenge . When individually considered , all subjects were protected against EAR ( protection index > or = 80 % ) at T2 , while at 3 seven out of nine subjects were still protected against EAR . In conclusion , the simultaneous administration of salmeterol and fluticasone in the same device prevents in almost 80 % of examined subjects the development of tolerance to the protective effect of salmeterol on allergen challenge .

[ { "id": "24735", "type": "document", "text": [ "Virtual reality colonoscopy simulation : a compulsory practice for the future colonoscopist ? BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIM As for any manual procedure , the learning curves for medical interventions can have undesirable phases , occurring mostly in the early experience of applying a technique . There have been impressive advances in endoscopic procedures during recent years , and there is an emerging trend that the number of procedures is increasing in parallel with these . In addition , the introduction of screening programs for colorectal cancer will also increase the numbers of procedures needed . Recent developments in medical simulation seem promising with regard to the possibility of \" training out \" undesirable parts of the learning curve outside the operating room . The aim of this study was to investigate whether the use of the AccuTouch flexible endoscopy simulator improves the early part of the learning curve in colonoscopy training . METHOD 12 endoscopy trainees , 10 surgeons and two medical gastroenterologists , all with experience in gastroscopy but with no specific colonoscopy experience , were randomly assigned to either simulator training or to a control group . They all received the same theoretical study package and the training group practiced with the AccuTouch colonoscopy simulator until a predefined expert level of performance was reached . All trainees performed their first ten individual colonoscopies described in detail in a separate protocol . RESULTS Trainees in the simulator-trained group performed significantly better ( P=0.0011 ) and managed to reach the cecum in 52 % of their cases ( vs. 19 % in the control group ) , and were 4.53 times more likely to succeed compared with the controls . Additionally , there was a significantly shorter procedure time and less patient discomfort in the hands of the simulator-trained group . CONCLUSION Skills acquired using the AccuTouch simulator transfer well into the clinical colonoscopy environment . The results of this trial clearly support the plan to integrate simulator training into endoscopic education curricula ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2118 ] ] } ]

Two experiments were conducted from 0 to 35 d in floor pens to determine the additive effect of phytase and 1alpha-OHD3 when supplemented to Ca- and P-deficient diets . In both experiments , at least 4 replicates per treatment ( 50 chicks per replicate ) were used . Corn-soybean-meal-and soybean-oil-based diets were fed and birds were raised in a house impervious to ultraviolet light . During the starter phase ( ST ) , from 0 to 18 d , chicks were fed a 23 % CP diet containing 0.60 % Ca and 0.47 % total P ( tP ) . During the grower/finisher phase ( GF ) , from 19 to 35 d , birds were fed a 19 % CP diet containing 0.30 % Ca and 0.37 % tP . A combination of 1,000 phytase units/kg of Natuphos phytase and 5 microg/kg of 1alpha-OHD3 ( P+1A ) was supplemented to some of the feed during the ST and GF .

BACKGROUND The safety and immunogenicity of Viatim , a combined hepatitis A ( HA ) and typhoid fever ( Vi ) vaccine , were compared with the monovalent component vaccines up to and 1 month after a booster dose at 3 years . METHODS Healthy , adult volunteers were randomized to receive Viatim ( group A , n = 179 ) or separate HA and Vi vaccines ( group B , n = 181 ) ; subgroups were boosted after 3 years with Viatim ( groups C and D , n = 56 and 46 , respectively ) . Local and systemic reactions were recorded for 28 days postvaccination . Seroconversion and seroprotection rates and geometric mean antibody concentrations were measured at 14 and 28 days , 1 , 2 , and 3 years postvaccination , and 28 days after the booster dose . RESULTS Local and systemic safety profiles were equivalent between the two groups . Immediate local reactions were infrequent ( 1 in group A and 2 in group B ) . Local reactions , consisting mostly of mild or moderate pain , were least frequent with monovalent HA . Antibody concentrations to both antigens were similar in groups A and B , in which HA seroprotection rates ( > or = 20 mIU/mL ) were respectively , 98.7 % and 100 % at day 28 , and 99.1 % and 99.0 % after 3 years , achieving 100 % after the booster .

OBJECTIVE To examine how improved attention to nutritional status and dietary intake , achieved through the employment of dietetic assistants ( DAs ) , will affect postoperative clinical outcome among elderly women with hip fracture . DESIGN Open prospective randomised controlled trial , comparing conventional nursing care with the additional nutritional support provided by DA . SETTING Thirty-eight bedded acute trauma ward in a teaching hospital . PARTICIPANTS All but 11 of 344 consecutive admissions with acute nonpathological hip fracture were approached . Three hundred and eighteen ( 93 % ) agreed to inclusion . Sixteen were ineligible as they were immediately transferred to another acute ward , were managed conservatively or died preoperatively . PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURE Postoperative mortality in the acute trauma unit . SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Postoperative mortality at 4 months after fracture , length of stay , energy intake and nutritional status . RESULTS DA-supported participants were less likely to die in the acute ward ( 4.1 versus 10.1 % , P = 0.048 ) . This effect was still apparent at 4 month follow-up ( 13.1 versus 22.9 % , P = 0.036 ) . DA-supported subjects had significantly better mean daily energy intake ( 1,105 kcal versus 756 kcal/24 h , 95 % CI 259-440 kcal/24 h , P < 0.001 ) , significantly smaller reduction in mid-arm circumference during their inpatient stay ( 0.39 cm , P = 0.002 ) and nonsignificantly favourable results for other anthropometric and laboratory measurements .

[ { "id": "24856", "type": "document", "text": [ "Prehydration alone is sufficient to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy after day-only angiography procedures -- a randomised controlled trial . BACKGROUND Contrast agents used in angiography procedures for patients with cardiovascular disease are known to cause contrast-induced nephropathy ( CIN ) , which may be partially due to the production of nephrotoxic oxygen-free radicals . It is uncertain whether administration of intravenous ( IV ) anti-oxidant , N-acetylcysteine ( NAC ) , can prevent reduction in renal function and whether this is a cost-effective approach . METHODS Sixty-five day-only patients with renal impairment ( mean serum creatinine concentration 0.16+/-0.03 mmol/l ) due to undergo coronary or peripheral angiography and/or stenting were randomly assigned to IV NAC 300 or 600 mg immediately before and after the procedure or IV fluid alone . RESULTS Of the 60 patients with complete data , none had acute CIN ( increase in serum creatinine concentration > or = 0.044 mmol/l , 48 h after administration of contrast agent ) . Eight patients ( 13 % ) have demonstrated an increase in their serum creatinine concentration > or = 0.044 mmol/l 30 days after administration of contrast agent : 2/19 ( 11 % ) in the control group , 2/21 ( 10 % ) in the 600 mg NAC group and 4/20 ( 20 % ) the 300 mg NAC group ( p = 0.66 ) . The mean volumes of contrast agent used and prehydration given for each of the three groups did not differ significantly ( p > 0.83 ) . There was significant improvement in creatinine clearance within each group from baseline to 30 days ( p < or = 0.03 ) , but no significant difference between the groups at 48 h and 30 days ( p > or = 0.43 ) . Considering the cost of NAC and its administration , we estimate that this would translate to a saving of dollar 26,637 per annum . CONCLUSION For day-stay patients with mild-to-moderate chronic renal impairment undergoing angiography and/or intervention , prehydration alone is less complicated and more cost-effective than a combination of IV NAC ( at doses used ) and hydration ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2073 ] ] } ]

BACKGROUND In familial hypercholesterolemia ( FH ) , low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ( LDL-C ) -lowering therapy is important to avoid predisposition to coronary artery disease . This study investigated the advantages of combined therapy with atorvastatin and colestimide vs intensive monotherapy with atorvastatin . METHODS AND RESULTS The trial used a randomized cross-over design consisting of 2 16-week periods of open-label drug therapy . Among the 24 initial patients , 17 heterozygous FH patients ( age : 54.1 years ; 5 males ) were enrolled after 20 mg/day atorvastatin failed to achieve their target level . The patients received 20 mg/day atorvastatin and 3 g/day colestimide or 40 mg/day atorvastatin . Fifteen patients completed the trial and their LDL-C reduced from 5.07 +/- 1.10 mmol/L to 3.76 +/- 0.90 mmol/L with the combined therapy and to 3.81 +/- 0.50 mmol/L with the intensive monotherapy . Although the 2 therapies showed comparable mean effects for decreasing LDL-C , similar adverse reaction and cost , each therapy was predominantly more effective in some patients than in others . The triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were similar in both therapies .

PARTICIPANTS Twenty eyes of 20 consecutive patients ( spherical equivalent [ SE ] , -2.01+/-1.36 diopters [ D ] ) treated with wavefront-guided Zyoptix Ablation Refinement software ( ZAR ) LASIK and 20 eyes of 20 consecutive patients ( SE , -1.81+/-1.21 D ) treated with standard Planoscan LASIK , both for residual refractive error enhancement . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Efficacy , safety , predictability , stability , HOAs , and CS were evaluated before and after enhancement at 6 months ' follow-up . METHODS Uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) , best-corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , manifest refraction , CS by means of the Functional Acuity Contrast Test , and HOAs by means of Zywave aberrometry were evaluated preoperatively and 6 months after retreatment . RESULTS At 6 months postoperatively , UCVA was 20/25 or better in 100 % of the eyes . Efficacy indexes were 1.09 for ZAR patients and 0.95 for Planoscan patients . No eyes lost > or =1 line of BCVA ; in the ZAR group , 2 eyes gained 1 line and 6 eyes gained > or =2 lines ; in the Planoscan group , 3 eyes gained 1 line . The ZAR group showed a percentage of eyes ( 94.4 % ) within the 0.5-D range in SE higher than that shown by the Planoscan group ( 88.8 % ) . After 6 months , the HOA root mean square ( RMS ) increased on average by a factor of 1.44 for the Planoscan group ( P = 0.003 ) . No change or reduction in HOA RMS was found in the ZAR group ( factor of 0.96 ; P > 0.01 ) . Contrast sensitivity was reduced in the Planoscan group only at the highest spatial frequency ( 18 cycles per degree ; P < 0.01 ) . There was a significant reduction of CS as a function of HOA increase for the Planoscan group ( P < 0.0001 ) . No changes were observed for the ZAR group at any spatial frequency ( 1.5-18 cycles per degree ; P > 0.01 ) . CONCLUSIONS Wavefront-guided LASIK using the ZAR algorithm is an effective and safe procedure for treatment of residual refractive errors .

OBJECTIVE Risperidone is widely prescribed for aggression and self-injury in children , adolescents , and adults with mental retardation ( MR ) and pervasive developmental disorders ( PDD ) . Risperidone elevates prolactin more than other atypical antipsychotic medications . Females may show greater prolactin elevation than males . METHOD In this relatively long-term study of risperidone efficacy and safety for aggression and self-injury in children , adolescents , and adults with MR and PDDs , serum prolactin was measured in a 21-subject subset during the course of a double-blind , placebo-controlled trial . Prolactin was measured in ng/mL at baseline , once during acute treatment , and once during maintenance . RESULTS In children and adolescents ( n=10 ) , mean age of 12.5 years , prolactin increased from mean 13.2+/-8.6 at baseline to 31.0+/-11.6 acutely and remained elevated at 37.9+/-10.4 in maintenance . In adults , mean age of 35.3 years , prolactin increased more markedly from 11.6+/-7.4 baseline ( n=11 ) to 93.3+/-54.2 acutely but decreased to 67.8+/-62.9 in maintenance ( n=7 ) . Prolactin remained significantly elevated above normal in all subjects for at least 26 weeks .

OBJECTIVE In the past years the interaction of GH and 11beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase ( 11betaHSD ) in the pathogenesis of central obesity has been suggested . DESIGN We studied the effects of 9 months of GH treatment on 11betaHSD activity and its relationship with body composition and insulin sensitivity in 30 men with abdominal obesity , aged 48-66 years , in a randomised , double-blind , placebo-controlled trial . METHODS Urinary steroid profile was used to estimate 11betaHSD type 1 and 2 ( 11betaHSD1 and 11betaHSD2 ) activities . Abdominal s.c. and visceral adipose tissues were measured using computed tomography . Glucose disposal rate ( GDR ) obtained during a euglycaemic-hyperinsulinaemic glucose clamp was used to assess insulin sensitivity . RESULTS In the GH-treated group the 11betaHSD1 activity decreased transiently after 6 weeks ( P < 0.01 ) whereas 11betaHSD2 increased after 9 months of treatment ( P < 0.05 ) . Between 6 weeks and 9 months , GDR increased and visceral fat mass decreased . Changes in 11betaHSD1 correlated with changes in visceral fat mass between baseline and 6 weeks . There were no significant correlations between 11betaHSD1 and 11betaHSD 2 and changes in GDR . DISCUSSION The study demonstrates that short- and long-term GH treatment has different effects on 11betaHSD1 and 11betaHSD2 activity . Moreover , the data do not support that long-term metabolic effects of GH are mediated through its action on 11betaHSD ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1567 ] ] } ]

BACKGROUND Curettage and electrodesiccation ( C & D ) is a widely used method to treat nodular basal cell carcinoma ( BCC ) . However , residual tumor is present immediately after the procedure in approximately 20 to 40 % of cases . Imiquimod , a topical immune response modifier that targets Toll-like receptor 7 , is currently approved for superficial BCC . OBJECTIVE In a double-blind , vehicle-controlled study , the administration of imiquimod after C & D was investigated to determine if the combination regimen would reduce the frequency of residual tumor compared with C & D alone in patients with nodular BCC . METHODS Twenty patients received three cycles of C & D followed by imiquimod 5 % or vehicle cream once daily for 1 month as adjunctive therapy . The primary end point was the frequency of residual tumor . The secondary end points included the time to heal and cosmetic appearance . RESULTS Twenty patients were randomized to the imiquimod ( n = 10 ) or vehicle ( n = 10 ) treatment group . At 8 weeks , the proportion of patients with residual tumor was substantially decreased with imiquimod therapy ( 10 % ) compared with vehicle ( 40 % ) . Wounds in the vehicle group healed more quickly than those in the imiquimod group , although by 8 weeks , all excision sites were healed . The majority of scars in the control group were atrophic and hypopigmented , whereas most scars in the imiquimod group were flat and slightly pink . CONCLUSION Imiquimod 5 % cream once daily for 1 month as adjunctive therapy after C & D substantially reduced the frequency of residual tumor and improved the cosmetic appearance compared with C & D alone . These preliminary results suggest that further studies to investigate imiquimod adjunctive therapy are warranted ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1900 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVES There is some reluctance to treat intravenous drug users ( IVDUs ) with chronic hepatitis C ( CHC ) because of presumed lower compliance and response to antiviral therapy . We intended to evaluate the compliance and response to antiviral treatment for CHC in IVDUs compared with non-IVDUs . METHODS A retrospective cohort study -- secondary analysis of the results of a treatment trial -- was performed in Belgium and The Netherlands . A total of 406 previously untreated CHC patients , including 98 ( 24 % ) IVDUs , were studied for compliance ( presentation at the end of treatment ) , complete response ( alanine aminotransferase within normal limits and serum hepatitis C virus polymerase chain reaction negative ) at the end of therapy and sustained virological response ( SVR ) . RESULTS Non-compliance ( 8.2 % ) in IVDUs was not different from non-IVDUs ( 6.8 % ) ( relative risk=1.20 ; 95 % confidence interval=0.55-2.62 ) . Complete response after controlling for hepatitis C virus was similar ( relative risk=1.19 ; 95 % confidence interval=0.89-1.60 ) . Controlling for treatment arm , age , sex , presence of cirrhosis or hepatitis C virus viral load before treatment did not change these results . There was a marginally significant difference in the sustained virological response between IVDUs ( 46.6 % ) and non-IVDUs ( 34.6 % ) ( relative risk=1.35 ; 95 % confidence interval=1.00-1.81 ) , also disappearing after adjusting for genotype . No difference in compliance or sustained virological response was found between active and non-active IVDUs or between IVDU patients in or without a methadone maintenance program . CONCLUSIONS In this group of Benelux patients , IVDUs showed similar compliance and response to treatment with interferon and ribavirin compared with other patients with CHC infection . Therefore , it is no longer justifiable to withhold treatment to chronic hepatitis C patients who use intravenous drugs ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2101 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVES This paper presents up to 5 years post-program outcomes of Project Towards No Drug Abuse ( Project TND ) , a drug abuse prevention program conducted in South California alternative high school system during years 1994-1999 . METHODS The effects of a 9-session health motivation -- social skills -- decision-making curriculum were evaluated . Twenty-one schools recruited were randomly assigned to standard care ( control ) , classroom only , or a classroom plus semester-long school-as-community component . Last 30-day use of cigarettes , alcohol , marijuana , and hard drugs were assessed at three time intervals : short-term ( year 1 ) , middle-term ( years 2 or 3 ) , and long-term ( years 4 or 5 ) . Multilevel random coefficients modeling were employed to estimate the adjusted levels of substance use . RESULTS Among 1578 baseline subjects , follow-up data were available for 68 % ( year 1 ) , 66 % ( years 2 or 3 ) , and 46 % ( years 4 or 5 ) of subjects , respectively . Results revealed significant positive long-term program effects for hard drug use at year 4 or 5 for the two program interventions ( P = 0.02 ) .

MATERIALS AND METHODS This investigation was designed as a randomized , prospective , single-blinded controlled study . Group 1 , the control , received midazolam 0.03 mg/kg , fentanyl 1 microg/kg , and propofol initially at 140 microg/kg/min . Group 2 received midazolam 0.03 mg/kg , remifentanil : propofol ( 1:500 ) given at an initial propofol infusion rate of 40 microg/kg/min . Outcome measures included time to response to verbal command , Aldrete score = 9 , Postanesthesia Discharge Scoring System = 7 , and assessment by the Digit Symbol Substitution Test . RESULTS Forty-seven subjects were entered in the study . Baseline findings were homogenous between the 2 groups . Subjects in group 2 recovered earlier ( P < .005 ) and required less propofol for both the induction ( 0.8 +/- 0.4 versus 1.2 +/- 0.6 mg/kg ; mean +/- SD , P < .01 ) and maintenance of deep sedation ( 46 +/- 9 versus 131 +/- 17 microg/kg/min ; P < .005 ) .

OBJECTIVE We tested the hypothesis that supplementation with a micronutrient-fortified beverage improves micronutrient status and physical and mental development in apparently healthy schoolchildren . METHODS The study was carried out in middle-income students in two residential schools that catered to children from a semi-urban population near Hyderabad , India . Included were 869 children who were 6 to 16 y of age in grades 1 to 10 . Because children at each grade were distributed across two classrooms ( clusters ) and were homogeneous , each grade was considered to consist of a matched pair . There were thus 10 pairs available for the study . Classes in each grade were randomized to receive a micronutrient-enriched beverage or a placebo without added micronutrients . The study was double blinded and the duration was 14 mo , with supervised feeding of the micronutrient-enriched beverage . The effect of the micronutrients on the outcome variables growth , biochemical status , mental function , and bone health were assessed . RESULTS The number of matched pairs varied between seven and eight , and the required number of children per treatment group ranged from 32 in the case of bone heath to 177 for body weight .

BACKGROUND The safety and efficacy of paricalcitol injection have been well established for the prevention and treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism ( SHPT ) in patients with chronic kidney disease ( CKD ) stage 5 . The capsule form of paricalcitol was developed to provide a convenient dosage form for patients with stages 3 and 4 CKD . METHODS Three randomized , placebo-controlled , phase-3 trials were conducted in patients with stages 3 and 4 CKD with SHPT . Enrollment criteria included an estimated glomerular filtration rate between 15 and 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 ( 0.25 and 1.00 mL/s/1.73 m2 ) , an average of 2 consecutive intact parathyroid hormone ( iPTH ) levels greater than 150 pg/mL ( ng/L ) , 2 consecutive serum calcium levels between 8.0 and 10.0 mg/dL ( 2.00 and 2.50 mmol/L ) , and 2 consecutive serum phosphorus levels of 5.2 mg/dL or less ( < or = 1.68 mmol/L ) . Two studies used a thrice-weekly dosing regimen and 1 study used a once-daily dosing regimen for 24 weeks . Dosing was based on serum iPTH , calcium , and phosphorus levels . The primary efficacy end point is 2 consecutive decreases in iPTH levels greater than 30 % from baseline . RESULTS Two hundred twenty patients participated ( n = 107 , paricalcitol ; n = 113 , placebo ) . At least 2 consecutive decreases in iPTH levels of 30 % or greater from baseline occurred in 91 % of paricalcitol versus 13 % of placebo patients ( P < 0.001 ) . Incidences of hypercalcemia , hyperphosphatemia , and elevated calcium-phosphorus product levels were not significantly different between groups .

INTRODUCTION Adherence to treatment in osteoporosis remains poor . The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of an educational leaflet on adherence to medication and to assess the association between adherence and health-related quality of life ( HRQOL ) . METHODS A naturalistic , observational , multi-center , prospective study of 12 months ' follow-up was performed . Consecutive post-menopausal women aged 50 years to 86 years starting treatment with raloxifene according to daily practice were enrolled from 126 primary care offices in Spain . The women were assigned to two study groups . Group A received an educational leaflet with general information about osteoporosis ; group B followed current practice . To assess adherence to medication and HRQOL , the Morisky test and the EuroQoL questionnaire were administered . A total of 745 post-menopausal women ( group A , n=366 ; group B n=379 ) , with a mean age of 62 years , were included . RESULTS Most patients in both study groups showed high adherence to raloxifene at the 3-month visit : 56.3 % vs 62.7 % for groups A and B , respectively ; this proportion at the 12-month visit was 47.4 % ( P=0.15 ) and 52.5 % ( P=0.02 ) , respectively . At baseline , \" pain/discomfort \" was the dimension showing the highest percentage of women reporting problems : 86.4 % vs 83.2 % in groups A and B , respectively ( P=0.22 ) . HRQOL improved in both groups throughout the study , with an overall mean increment in the EuroQoL visual analog scale ( EQ VAS ) of 9.2 at 12 months ( P < 0.01 ) . Correlations between adherence and HRQOL were weak . After receiving an educational leaflet , young post-menopausal women suffering osteoporosis did not show improvement in adherence to therapy . HRQOL improved at 12-month follow-up under treatment . CONCLUSION No consistent correlation between adherence and HRQOL was found ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1990 ] ] } ]

AIM In our randomized prospective study , we aimed to evaluate the efficiency of plasmakinetic resection of prostate ( PKRP ) by comparing the preoperative and postoperative results of the transurethral resection of prostate ( TURP ) and PKRP techniques which we administered in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia ( BPH ) in our clinic . METHODS Of 57 patients for whom we thought an operative intervention was necessary , 30 cases in the first group had a TURP and 24 cases in the second group had a PKRP . International prostate symptom scores ( I-PSS ) , uroflowmetry , measurement of residual urine amount and ultrasonography were performed for each patient both preoperatively and postoperatively ( first month and first year ) . Operation times , urethral catheterization times , preoperative and postoperative Hb , Htc and serum Na values of the patients were compared and the complications of the groups were also compared . RESULTS On first month and first year follow up between the groups , there was no significant statistical difference in I-PSS , maximum flow rate , average flow , residual urine and size of the prostate . The decrease in serum Na level was found to be significantly higher in the TURP group ( P < 0.05 ) . The operation times were not significantly different between the groups . While the postoperative catheterization time was 75.7 h in TURP group , it was found to be 42 h in PKRP group and it was clear that catheterization time was significantly shorter ( P < 0001 ) . CONCLUSION It is obvious that PKRP is as efficient as TURP and it has a similar morbidity . In our opinion , PKRP makes a promising treatment for BPH with its advantages , such as early removal of postoperative urethral catheter , a shorter hospital stay and the absence of TUR syndrome risk ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1920 ] ] } ]

DESIGN A single blind randomised controlled trial created from the two week placebo run-in periods for two nested trials that compared acupuncture and amitriptyline with their respective placebo controls . Comparison of participants who remained on placebo continued beyond the run-in period to the end of the study . SETTING Academic medical centre . PARTICIPANTS 270 adults with arm pain due to repetitive use that had lasted at least three months despite treatment and who scored > or =3 on a 10 point pain scale . INTERVENTIONS Acupuncture with sham device twice a week for six weeks or placebo pill once a day for eight weeks . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Arm pain measured on a 10 point pain scale . Secondary outcomes were symptoms measured by the Levine symptom severity scale , function measured by Pransky 's upper extremity function scale , and grip strength . RESULTS Pain decreased during the two week placebo run-in period in both the sham device and placebo pill groups , but changes were not different between the groups ( -0.14 , 95 % confidence interval -0.52 to 0.25 , P = 0.49 ) . Changes in severity scores for arm symptoms and grip strength were similar between groups , but arm function improved more in the placebo pill group ( 2.0 , 0.06 to 3.92 , P = 0.04 ) . Longitudinal regression analyses that followed participants throughout the treatment period showed significantly greater downward slopes per week on the 10 point arm pain scale in the sham device group than in the placebo pill group ( -0.33 ( -0.40 to -0.26 ) v -0.15 ( -0.21 to -0.09 ) , P = 0.0001 ) and on the symptom severity scale ( -0.07 ( -0.09 to -0.05 ) v -0.05 ( -0.06 to -0.03 ) , P = 0.02 ) . Differences were not significant , however , on the function scale or for grip strength . Reported adverse effects were different in the two groups .

BACKGROUND XS0601 , consisting of active ingredients ( Chuangxiongol and paeoniflorin ) , has been shown to inhibit arterial neointimal hyperplasia in animal models and in preliminary human studies . The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of XS0601 in preventing restenosis following percutaneous coronary intervention ( PCI ) . METHODS A multi-center , randomized , double-blind , placebo-controlled trial was conducted . A total of 335 patients were randomized into treatment with the oral administration of XS0601 , or a placebo for 6 months after successful PCI . Angiographic follow-up was scheduled at 6 months , and clinical follow-ups performed at 1 , 3 and 6 months after PCI . The primary end point was angiographic restenosis . The secondary end points were the combined incidence of death , target lesion nonfatal myocardial infarction , repeat angioplasty , and coronary artery bypass graft surgery . RESULTS A total of 308 patients ( 91.9 % ) completed the study and 145 cases ( 47.1 % ) received angiographic follow-up . The restenosis rates were significantly reduced in the XS0601 group as compared with the placebo group ( 26.0 % vs. 47.2 % , P < 0.05 ) , and the minimum lumen diameter ( MLD ) was greater [ ( 2.08 +/- 0.89 ) mm for XS0601 vs. ( 1.73 +/- 0.94 ) mm for placebo , P < 0.05 ] . XS0601 also significantly reduced the combined incidence of major adverse cardiac event ( 10.4 % in the XS0601 group vs. 22.7 % in the placebo group , P < 0.05 ) . The incidence of recurrent angina at 3 and 6 months after PCI was also significantly reduced in XS0601 group ( 7.1 % and 11.0 % ) as compared with those in placebo group ( 19.5 % and 42.9 % ) ( P < 0.05 ) . No significant side effects occurred within the 6-month follow-up period in the XS0601 group . CONCLUSION Administration of XS0601 for 6 months is demonstrated to be safe and effective in reducing restenosis in post-PCI patients ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2079 ] ] } ]

The experience of aversion is shaped by multiple physiological and psychological factors including one 's expectations . Recent work has shown that expectancy manipulation can alter perceptions of aversive events and concomitant brain activation . Accruing evidence indicates a primary role of altered expectancies in the placebo effect . Here , we probed the mechanism by which expectation attenuates sensory taste transmission by examining how brain areas activated by misleading information during an expectancy period modulate insula and amygdala activation to a highly aversive bitter taste . In a rapid event-related fMRI design , we showed that activations in the rostral anterior cingulate cortex ( rACC ) , orbitofrontal cortex ( OFC ) , and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to a misleading cue that the taste would be mildly aversive predicted decreases in insula and amygdala activation to the highly aversive taste . OFC and rACC activation to the misleading cue were also associated with less aversive ratings of that taste . Additional analyses revealed consistent results demonstrating functional connectivity among the OFC , rACC , and insula . Altering expectancies of upcoming aversive events are shown here to depend on robust functional associations among brain regions implicated in prior work on the placebo effect ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1460 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVE One-third of the total population seems to develop minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis ( RAS ) during their lifetime . However , well-controlled dietary intervention studies to prevent minor RAS are very rare . The objective of the present study was to investigate whether the prevalence of RAS decreased with perilla oil ( rich in alpha-linolenic acid ) . METHODS Thirty subjects ( 8 men and 22 women ) who had minor RAS at least once a month were randomly allocated to a soybean oil group or a perilla oil group in a double-blind manner ( experimental phase ) after a run-in phase of 4 mo during which subjects used a reference oil , the most popular cooking oil in Japan , or a 50/50 mixture of soybean oil and rapeseed oil . During the experimental phase , subjects were asked to use soybean oil or perilla oil as the sole cooking oil for 8 mo . Blood samples were collected at the start and end of the experimental phase for fatty acid analysis of total plasma phospholipid fraction . Occurrence and needed days for healing of minor RAS were recorded during the two phases and compared . RESULTS alpha-Linolenic acid concentrations in the plasma phospholipid fraction increased significantly in both groups during the experimental phase to a similar extent . The prevalence of minor RAS in the experimental phase decreased significantly in both groups compared with the run-in phase to a similar extent , without intergroup differences .

[ { "id": "25478", "type": "document", "text": [ "Perceptual wind-up in the human oesophagus is enhanced by central sensitisation . BACKGROUND Oesophageal acid infusion induces enhanced pain hypersensitivity in non-acid exposed upper oesophagus ( secondary hyperalgesia ) in patients with non-cardiac chest pain , thus suggesting central sensitisation contributes to visceral pain hypersensitivity in functional gut disorders ( FGD ) . Perceptual wind-up ( increased pain perception to constant intensity sensory stimuli at frequencies > or=0.3 Hz ) is used as a proxy for central sensitisation to investigate pain syndromes where pain hypersensitivity is important ( for example , fibromyalgia ) . AIMS Wind-up in central sensitisation induced human visceral pain hypersensitivity has not been explored . We hypothesised that if wind-up is a proxy for central sensitisation induced human visceral pain hypersensitivity , then oesophageal wind-up should be enhanced by secondary hyperalgesia . METHODS In eight healthy volunteers ( seven males ; mean age 32 years ) , perception at pain threshold to a train of 20 electrical stimuli applied to the hand and upper oesophagus ( UO ) at either 0.1 Hz ( control ) or 2 Hz was determined before and one hour after a 30 minute lower oesophageal acid infusion . RESULTS Wind-up occurred only with the 2 Hz train in the UO and hand ( both p=0.01 ) . Following acid infusion , pain threshold decreased ( 17 ( 4 ) % ; p=0.01 ) in the UO , suggesting the presence of secondary hyperalgesia . Wind-up to the 2 Hz train increased in the UO ( wind-up ratio 1.4 ( 0.1 ) to 1.6 ( 0.1 ) ; p=0.03 ) but not in the hand ( wind-up ratio 1.3 ( 0.1 ) and 1.3 ( 0.1 ) ; p=0.3 ) CONCLUSION Enhanced wind-up after secondary oesophageal hyperalgesia suggests that visceral pain hypersensitivity induced by central sensitisation results from increased central neuronal excitability . Wind-up may offer new opportunities to investigate the contribution of central neuronal changes to symptoms in FGD ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1973 ] ] } ]

SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA MCIC can provide valuable information for researchers , healthcare providers , and policymakers . METHODS Data from a randomized controlled trial with 442 patients with low back pain were used . The MCIC was estimated over a 12-week period , and three different methods were used : 1 ) mean change scores , 2 ) minimal detectable change , and 3 ) optimal cutoff point in receiver operant curves . The global perceived effect scale ( GPE ) was used as an external criterion . The effect of initial scores on the MCIC was also assessed . RESULTS The MCIC of the PI-NRS ranged from 3.5 to 4.7 points in ( sub ) acute patients and 2.5 to 4.5 points in chronic patients with low back pain . The MCIC of the QBPDS was estimated between 17.5 to 32.9 points and 8.5 to 24.6 points for ( sub ) acute and chronic patients with low back pain . The MCIC for the EQ ranged from 0.07 to 0.58 in ( sub ) acute patients and 0.09 to 0.28 in patients with chronic low back pain .

CONTEXT Hyponatremia [ serum sodium concentration ( [ Na ( + ) ] ) , < 135 mEq/liter ] is the most common fluid and electrolyte abnormality among hospitalized patients . It is frequently caused by the inappropriate release of arginine vasopressin . OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral conivaptan , a vasopressin V ( 1A ) /V ( 2 ) receptor antagonist , in patients with euvolemic or hypervolemic hyponatremia . DESIGN The study design was a 5-d placebo-controlled , randomized , double-blind study . SETTING The study was performed at a hospital . INTERVENTION Oral conivaptan ( 40 or 80 mg/d ) or placebo was given in two divided doses . PATIENTS Seventy-four patients ( average baseline serum [ Na ( + ) ] , 115 to < 130 mEq/liter ) were studied . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE The main outcome measure was the change from baseline in serum [ Na ( + ) ] area under the curve . RESULTS The least-squares mean change from baseline in the serum [ Na ( + ) ] area under the curve with conivaptan ( 40 and 80 mg/d ) was 2.0-fold ( P = 0.03 ) and 2.5-fold ( P < 0.001 ) greater , respectively , than that with placebo . The median time to achieve a confirmed increase in serum [ Na ( + ) ] of 4 mEq/liter or more from baseline was 71.7 h for placebo , 27.5 h for 40 mg/d conivaptan ( P = 0.044 ) , and 12.1 h for 80 mg/d conivaptan ( P = 0.002 ) . The mean total times during which patients had a serum [ Na ( + ) ] level of 4 mEq/liter or more above baseline were 46.5 , 69.8 , and 88.8 h ( P = 0.001 ) , respectively . The least-squares mean change in serum [ Na ( + ) ] from baseline to end of treatment was 3.4 mEq/liter for placebo , 6.4 mEq/liter for 40 mg/d conivaptan , and 8.2 mEq/liter for 80 mg/d conivaptan ( P = 0.002 ) . A confirmed normal serum [ Na ( + ) ] ( > /=135 mEq/liter ) or increase of 6 mEq/liter or more was observed in 48 % of patients given placebo , 71 % given 40 mg/d conivaptan , and 82 % given 80 mg/d conivaptan ( P = 0.014 ) . Headache , hypotension , nausea , constipation , and postural hypotension were the most common adverse events . CONCLUSION Oral conivaptan ( 40 and 80 mg/d ) was well tolerated and efficacious in correcting serum [ Na ( + ) ] in hyponatremia ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2434 ] ] } ]

BACKGROUND Nasotracheal intubation ( NTI ) has greater potential for trauma of nasopharyngeal mucosa than orotracheal intubation . The present study investigated the success rate of NTI and frequency of nasal bleeding using a curve-tipped suction catheter ( CTSC ) to guide nasotracheal tube advancement . METHODS Subjects comprised 131 adult patients who under-went NTI . Subjects were randomly divided into two groups : a ) NTI under CTSC guidance ( G [ + ] group ) . The CTSC ( 14 Fr ) was first inserted through the tracheal tube , with the tip of the CTSC emerging from the distal end of the tube . The curved tip was directed ventrally . Both tracheal tube and CTSC were advanced together through the nasopharynx ; b ) NTI without CTSC guidance ( G [ - ] group ) . The tracheal tube was advanced into the nasal cavity and passed into the pharynx without CTSC guidance . The time required to pass the endotracheal tube through the nasal cavity ( nasal passage time ) , success rate of nasal passage with nasotracheal tube , and the incidence and severity of nasal bleeding were compared . RESULTS Success rate for nasal passage was 100 % in the G ( + ) group ( 62/62 ) and 82.6 % in the G ( - ) group ( 57/69 ; P = 0.0006 ) . Frequency of nasal bleeding was significantly lower in the G ( + ) group ( 21/62 , 33.9 % ) than in the G ( - ) group ( 37/69 , 53.6 % ; P = 0.023 ) . Severity of nasal bleeding was also significantly lower in the G ( + ) group than in the G ( - ) group ( P = 0.030 ) .

INTRODUCTION Delusions may arise from abnormalities in emotional perception . In this study , we tested the hypothesis that delusional schizophrenia patients are more likely than non-delusional schizophrenia patients and healthy participants to assign affective meanings to neutral stimuli . METHODS Unpleasant , pleasant , and neutral words were randomly presented to three subject groups -- patients with schizophrenia with prominent delusions , patients with schizophrenia without delusions , and healthy participants . Participants performed three tasks : one in which they decided whether a letter string was a word or a non-word ( lexical decision ) and two affective classification tasks in which they judged whether words were 1 ) neutral or unpleasant , or 2 ) neutral or pleasant . RESULTS While there were no significant between-group differences in lexical decision performance , patients with delusions showed selective performance deficits in both affective classification tasks . First , delusional patients were significantly more likely than non-delusional patients and healthy participants to classify words as unpleasant . Second , delusional patients took significantly longer than both other groups to correctly classify neutral words in both affective classification tasks .

STUDY DESIGN Randomized clinical trial . OBJECTIVES To compare the long-term effectiveness of medical and chiropractic care for low back pain in managed care and to assess the effectiveness of physical therapy and modalities among patients receiving medical or chiropractic care . SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Evidence comparing the long-term relative effectiveness of common treatment strategies offered to low back pain patients in managed care is lacking . METHODS A total of 681 low back pain patients presenting to a managed-care facility were randomized to chiropractic with or without physical modalities , or medical care with or without physical therapy , and followed for 18 months . The primary outcome variables are low back pain intensity , disability , and complete remission . The secondary outcome is participants ' perception of improvement in low back symptoms . RESULTS Of the 681 patients , 610 ( 89.6 % ) were followed through 18 months . Among participants not assigned to receive physical therapy or modalities , the estimated improvements in pain and disability and 18-month risk of complete remission were a little greater in the chiropractic group than in the medical group ( adjusted RR of remission = 1.29 ; 95 % CI = 0.80-2.07 ) . Among participants assigned to medical care , mean changes in pain and disability and risk of remission were larger in patients assigned to receive physical therapy ( adjusted RR = 1.69 ; 95 % CI = 1.08-2.66 ) . Among those assigned to chiropractic care , however , assignment to methods was not associated with improvement or remission ( adjusted RR = 0.98 ; 95 % CI = 0.62-1.55 ) . Compared with medical care only patients , chiropractic and physical therapy patients were much more likely to perceive improvement in their low back symptoms . However , less than 20 % of all patients were pain-free at 18 months . CONCLUSIONS Differences in outcomes between medical and chiropractic care without physical therapy or modalities are not clinically meaningful , although chiropractic may result in a greater likelihood of perceived improvement , perhaps reflecting satisfaction or lack of blinding . Physical therapy may be more effective than medical care alone for some patients , while physical modalities appear to have no benefit in chiropractic care ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2470 ] ] } ]

Efficacy results are reported for 581 patients who enrolled in the extension . RESULTS Of the 714 patients enrolled in the initial trials , 581 ( 81 % ) enrolled in the extension , and 388 ( 54 % ) patients are continuing to receive etanercept therapy . The longest individual treatment was 8.2 years , with 3139 total patient-years of etanercept exposure . Rates of serious adverse events ( overall rate=14.8 events/100 patient-yrs ) , serious infections ( overall rate=4.2 events/100 patient-yrs ) , cancer ( overall rate=1.0 events/100 patient-yrs ) , and deaths ( overall rate=0.7 events/100 patient-yrs ) were stable each year , through 8 years of etanercept exposure .

Muscle contractions induced by functional electrical stimulation ( FES ) tend to result in rapid muscle fatigue , which greatly limits activities such as FES-assisted standing and walking . It was hypothesized that muscle fatigue caused by FES could be reduced by randomly modulating parameters of the electrical stimulus . Seven paraplegic subjects participated in this study . While subjects were seated , FES was applied to quadriceps and tibialis anterior muscles bilaterally using surface electrodes . The isometric force was measured , and the time for the force to drop by 3 dB ( fatigue time ) and the normalized force-time integral ( FTI ) were determined . Four different modes of FES were applied in random order : constant stimulation , randomized frequency ( mean 40 Hz ) , randomized current amplitude , and randomized pulsewidth ( mean 250 micros ) . In randomized trials , stimulation parameters were stochastically modulated every 100 ms in a range of +/-15 % using a uniform probability distribution . There was no significant difference between the fatigue time measurements for the four modes of stimulation . There was also no significant difference in the FTI measurements . Therefore , our particular method of stochastic modulation of the stimulation parameters , which involved moderate ( 15 % ) variations updated every 100 ms and centered around 40 Hz , appeared to have no effect on muscle fatigue . There was a strong correlation between maximum force measurements and stimulation order , which was not apparent in the fatigue time or FTI measurements . It was concluded that a 10-min rest period between stimulation trials was insufficient to allow full recovery of muscle strength ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1813 ] ] } ]

METHODS We compared all-cause mortality and recurrent hospitalization during median follow-up of 7.5 years in a heterogeneous cohort of patients with chronic illness initially exposed to a multidisciplinary , home-based intervention ( HBI ) ( n = 260 ) or to usual postdischarge care ( n = 268 ) . RESULTS During follow-up , HBI had no impact on all-cause mortality ( relative risk , 1.04 ; 95 % confidence interval , 0.80-1.35 ) or event-free survival from death or unplanned hospitalization ( relative risk , 1.03 ; 95 % confidence interval , 0.86-1.24 ) . Initial analysis suggested that HBI had only a marginal impact in reducing unplanned hospitalization , with 677 readmissions vs 824 for the usual care group ( mean +/- SD rate , 0.72 +/- 0.96 vs 0.84 +/- 1.20 readmissions/patient per year ; P = .08 ) . When accounting for increased hospital activity in HBI patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease during follow-up for 2 years , post hoc analyses showed that HBI reduced readmissions by 14 % within 2 years in patients without this condition ( mean +/- SD rate , 0.54 +/- 0.72 vs 0.63 +/- 0.88 readmission/patient per year ; P = .04 ) and by 21 % in all surviving patients within 3 to 8 years ( mean +/- SD rate , 0.64 +/- 1.26 vs 0.81 +/- 1.61 readmissions/patient per year ; P = .03 ) . Overall , recurrent hospital costs were significantly lower ( 14 % ) in the HBI group ( mean +/- SD , 823 dollars +/- 1642 dollars vs 960 dollars +/- 1376 dollars per patient per year ; P = .045 ) .

BACKGROUND Nonpharmacologic interventions , such as distraction , have been shown to be powerful adjuncts in reducing pain and anxiety in children with both acute and chronic painful conditions . There are no controlled studies evaluating these interventions as adjuncts to facilitate completion of painful procedures in the pediatric emergency department ( ED ) . OBJECTIVE We assessed the effectiveness of distraction techniques in reducing the sensory and affective components of pain among pediatric patients undergoing laceration repair in the ED . METHODS Eligible children between 6 and 18 years of age ( N = 240 ) presenting to the ED for laceration repair were randomly assigned to an intervention or control arm . Those assigned to the intervention arm were given a choice of age-appropriate distracters during laceration repair . Quantitative measures of pain intensity , situational anxiety , and pain distress ( as perceived by the parent ) were assessed by using the 7-point Facial Pain Scale , State Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children , and a visual analog scale , respectively , before and after laceration repair . The State Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children was performed in children > or = 10 years of age . RESULTS There was no difference in mean change in Facial Pain Scale scores between the control and the intervention groups in children < 10 years of age . Multivariate analysis in this same age group showed that the intervention was independently associated with a reduction in pain distress as perceived by parents based on the mean change in visual analog scale scores . In older children , the intervention was independently associated with reduction in situational anxiety but not in pain intensity or in parental perception of pain distress .

BACKGROUND Interim methadone maintenance has been proposed as a method of providing clinically effective services to heroin addicts waiting for treatment in standard comprehensive methadone maintenance programs . METHODS A clinic that provided initial medical evaluation , methadone medication , and AIDS education , but did not include formal drug abuse counseling or other social support services was established in New York City . A sample of 301 volunteer subjects recruited from the waiting list for treatment in the Beth Israel methadone program were randomly assigned to immediate entry into the interim clinic or a control group . RESULTS There were no differences in initial levels of illicit drug use across the experimental and control groups . One-month urinalysis follow-up data showed a significant reduction in heroin use in the experimental group ( from 63 % positive at intake to 29 % positive ) with no change in the control group ( 62 % to 60 % positive ) . No significant change was observed in cocaine urinalyses ( approximately 70 % positive for both groups at intake and follow-up ) .

OBJECTIVE To determine whether patients with borderline semen should be treated with conventional IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection ( ICSI ) . DESIGN Randomized study . SETTING A university medical center in The Netherlands . PATIENT ( S ) One hundred six couples with borderline semen who were undergoing IVF and ICSI on sibling oocytes . INTERVENTION ( S ) Performing IVF and ICSI on sibling oocytes . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE ( S ) Fertilization and pregnancy rates . RESULT ( S ) One thousand five hundred eighteen oocytes were collected in 106 oocyte retrievals : 849 oocytes were randomly allocated to ICSI , of which 761 were microinjected , and 669 oocytes were randomly assigned to IVF . In 26 of the 106 patients , there was fertilization only after ICSI and not after IVF ( IVF- group ) . The fertilization rate was 51 % ( 92/182 oocytes ) . In 78 patients , there was fertilization after both IVF and ICSI ( IVF+ group ) ; the fertilization rate was 51 % for both the IVF- and ICSI-treated oocytes ( 271/528 oocytes and 334/658 oocytes , respectively ) . In 2 patients , there was no fertilization after either IVF ( 0/6 oocytes ) or ICSI ( 0/9 oocytes ) . Patients of the IVF+ group had a higher total motile sperm count after preparation than did those of the IVF- group . More high-quality embryos were obtained after ICSI in patients of the IVF+ group . In 101 patients , embryo transfer was performed : 26 in the IVF- group and 75 in the IVF+ group . No significant differences were found with regard to pregnancy rates between those two groups : pregnancy rates were 54 % in the IVF- group and 48 % in the IVF+ group .

PURPOSE We determined whether the decrease in serum PSA seen with 5alpha-reductase inhibitors affects the clinical usefulness of PSA for prostate cancer screening using data from 2 dutasteride benign prostatic hyperplasia studies . MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 2,802 men 50 years or older with a clinical diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia , no history of prostate cancer , PSA 1.5 to 10 ng/ml , prostate volume 30 cc or greater , an American Urological Association symptom score of 12 or greater and peak urinary flow rate 15 ml per second or less were randomized to 0.5 mg dutasteride daily or matching placebo for 24 months . Increases in PSA from baseline and the maximum increase from nadir to month 24 were compared between the groups and analyzed by prostate cancer status , as determined by PSA driven biopsy and an advised cutoff of more than 4 ng/ml after doubling to correct for dutasteride treatment with sensitivity and specificity calculated for each . RESULTS In placebo treated men without prostate cancer there was an 8.3 % median increase in PSA at month 24 compared with -59.5 % in those who received dutasteride , using doubled values to correct for dutasteride treatment . In those with prostate cancer these changes were 23.8 % and -37.2 % , respectively . Using the upper PSA limit of 4 ng/ml sensitivity for prostate cancer in men receiving dutasteride vs placebo was 0.737 vs 0.804 , while specificity was 0.671 vs 0.578 . Using a PSA increase from nadir of 0.8 ng/ml the sensitivity of dutasteride was 0.548 and its specificity was 0.795 .

METHOD Forty-eight children ( 5 years to 16 years , 5 months ) who showed behavioral improvement during acute treatment with risperidone were followed for 6 months and assessed with the Vineland Scales . RESULTS Raw scores , age-equivalents , and special norm percentile scores all showed significant increases in adaptive behavior in the areas of communication , daily living skills , and socialization ( p < .01 ) . During a period of 6 to 8 months , children gained an average of 7.8 age-equivalent months in the area of socialization , a > 6 % improvement beyond what would be expected based on baseline growth rates .

BACKGROUND Azimilide dihydrochloride ( azimilide ) is an investigational antiarrhythmic drug that has been tested in patients with a variety of arrhythmias . In patients with atrial fibrillation , it has shown excellent efficacy in some previous trials and minimal efficacy in others . METHODS Patients who had symptomatic atrial fibrillation for > 48 hours but < 6 months were eligible for this multicenter , randomized , placebo-controlled clinical trial . Patients were admitted to a hospital and randomly assigned to receive either azimilide 125 mg or a matched placebo twice daily for 3 days and then once daily . Patients who were in sinus rhythm spontaneously or had sinus rhythm restored by electric cardioversion on day 4 were discharged from the hospital . Recurrence of atrial fibrillation was documented by electrocardiogram . In the primary efficacy analysis , time to recurrence in the 2 treatment groups was compared with the log-rank test in the subgroup of patients with structural heart disease . Safety was assessed as deaths , adverse events , and serious adverse events . RESULTS A total of 446 patients were randomized in the study ; 314 were in the subgroup with structural heart disease . The median time to arrhythmia recurrence in both treatment groups with structural heart disease was 13 days , and the difference between treatments was not significant ( P = .4596 , n = 314 ) . The relative risk for recurrence ( placebo : azimilide ) was 1.104 ( 95 % CI 0.849-1.436 ) . There was 1 death in the placebo group and 3 in the azimilide group .

[ { "id": "26044", "type": "document", "text": [ "Evaluation of a novel technique for wound closure using a barbed suture . BACKGROUND Suture knots present several disadvantages in wound closure , because they are tedious to tie and place ischemic demands on tissue . Bulky knots may be a nidus for infection , and they may extrude through skin weeks after surgery . Needle manipulations during knot-tying predispose the surgeon to glove perforation . A barbed suture was developed that is self-anchoring , requiring no knots or slack management for wound closure . The elimination of knot tying may have advantages over conventional wound closure methods . METHODS This prospective , randomized , controlled trial was designed to show that the use of barbed suture in dermal closure of the Pfannenstiel incision during nonemergent cesarean delivery surgery produces scar cosmesis at 5 weeks that is no worse than that observed with conventional closure using 3-0 polydioxanone suture . Cosmesis was assessed by review of postoperative photographs by a blinded , independent plastic surgeon using the modified Hollander cosmesis score . Secondary endpoints included infection , dehiscence , pain , closure time , and other adverse events . RESULTS The study enrolled 195 patients , of whom 188 were eligible for analysis . Cosmesis scores did not significantly differ between the barbed suture group and the control group . Rates of infection , dehiscence , and other adverse events did not significantly differ between the two groups . Closure time and pain scores were comparable between the groups . CONCLUSIONS The barbed suture represents an innovative option for wound closure . With a cosmesis and safety profile that is similar to that of conventional suture technique , it avoids the drawbacks inherent to suture knots ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1779 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of a parent education and behavior management intervention ( PEBM ) on the mental health and adjustment of parents with preschool children with autism . METHOD A randomized , group-comparison design involving a parent education and counseling intervention to control for nonspecific therapist effects and a control sample was used . Two metropolitan and two rural regions were randomly allocated to intervention groups ( n = 70 ) or control ( n = 35 ) . The parents of consecutive children with autism ( 2 ( 1/2 ) -5 years old ) from the autism assessment services for the intervention regions were then randomly allocated to either a 20-week manual-based parent education and behavior management intervention ( n = 35 ) or a manual-based parent education and counseling intervention ( n = 35 ) . The main outcome measure of parental mental health was the General Health Questionnaire used pre- and postintervention and at 6-month follow-up . RESULTS Both treatments resulted in significant and progressive improvement in overall mental health at follow-up ( F = 2 , 97 , p =.007 ) and mental health significantly improved over time in the 54 % of principal caregivers who had the highest levels of mental health problems . The parent education and behavior management intervention was effective in alleviating a greater percentage of anxiety , insomnia , and somatic symptoms and family dysfunction than parent education and counseling at 6-month follow-up .

A group of 48 critically injured patients were entered into a prospective , double-blind , placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of early infusion of PGE1 for reducing the incidence of severe respiratory failure and mortality . Secondary assessments examined the effects of the PGE1 infusion on plasma mediated suppression of PMN superoxide production and loss of PMN granule enzyme content . The incidence of severe respiratory failure was lower in the PGE1 group -- 13 % versus 32 % , but this did not reach significance . The overall morality was equivalent between the two groups -- 26 % ( PGE1 ) versus 28 % ( placebo ) . The suppressive activity of the patient plasma was assayed by measurement of normal PMN superoxide production relative to normal control plasma ( ratio P : C ) . The baseline ratio P : C was 62 +/- 5 % in the PGE1 group versus 60 +/- 5 % in the placebo group . The day 1 plasma samples showed significant reversal of plasma suppressive activity in the PGE1 group -- ratio P : C 88 +/- 5 % versus 67 +/- 5 % in the placebo group ( P less than 0.02 ) . In patients who received the full 7 days of infusion , the plasma suppressive activity remained significantly diminished in the PGE1 group -- ratio P : C 77 +/- 4 % versus 61 +/- 5 % ( P less than 0.04 ) . The baseline lysozyme content of patient PMN 's relative to that of normal control PMNs ( ratio P : C ) was 119 +/- 14 % in the PGE1 group . A significant loss of lysozyme content was observed in the PGE1 group on day 1 of the infusion -- ratio P : C 79 +/- 8 % ( P less than 0.03 ) , and was associated with a reduction in the plasma suppressive activity .

We evaluated the hypothesis that net leg total FFA , LDL-C , and TG uptake and HDL-C release during moderate-intensity cycling exercise would be increased following endurance training . Eight sedentary men ( 26 +/- 1 yr , 77.4 +/- 3.7 kg ) were studied in the postprandial state during 90 min of rest and 60 min of exercise twice before ( 45 % and 65 % V ( O2 peak ) ) and twice after 9 wk of endurance training ( 55 % and 65 % posttraining V ( O2 peak ) ) . Measurements across an exercising leg were taken to be a surrogate for active skeletal muscle . To determine limb lipid exchange , femoral arterial and venous blood samples drawn simultaneously at rest and during exercise were analyzed for total and individual FFA ( e.g. , palmitate , oleate ) , LDL-C , HDL-C , and TG concentrations , and limb blood flow was determined by thermodilution . The transition from rest to exercise resulted in a shift from net leg total FFA release ( -44 +/- 16 micromol/min ) to uptake ( 193 +/- 49 micromol/min ) that was unaffected by either exercise intensity or endurance training . The relative net leg release and uptake of individual FFA closely resembled their relative abundances in the plasma with approximately 21 and 41 % of net leg total FFA uptake during exercise accounted for by palmitate and oleate , respectively . Endurance training resulted in significant changes in arterial concentrations of HDL-C ( 49 +/- 5 vs. 52 +/- 5 mg/dl , pre vs. post ) and LDL-C ( 82 +/- 9 vs. 76 +/- 9 mg/dl , pre vs. post ) , but there was no net TG or LDL-C uptake or HDL-C release across the resting or active leg before or after endurance training . In conclusion , endurance training favorably affects blood lipoprotein profiles , even in young , healthy normolipidemic men , but muscle contractions per se have little effect on net leg LDL-C , or TG uptake or HDL-C release during moderate-intensity cycling exercise . Therefore , the favorable effects of physical activity on the lipid profiles of young , healthy normolipidemic men in the postprandial state are not attributable to changes in HDL-C or LDL-C exchange across active skeletal muscle ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2275 ] ] } ]

Results of 2 x 2 analysis of covariance with repeated measures indicated significant sex differences in percentage body fat , lean body mass , muscular strength , and in all of the measured indices of the Wingate Anaerobic Test . The step aerobics group showed significant improvement only in mean power relative to body weight compared with the control group and women showed significant improvement only in anaerobic power of vertical jump when compared with men .

OBJECTIVES Few studies of topical microbicides have assessed their safety in HIV-infected women . We conducted this study to evaluate the safety and acceptability of 6 % cellulose sulfate ( CS ) gel as a vaginal microbicide in sexually abstinent and active HIV-infected women . METHODS Fifty-nine HIV-infected women were enrolled in a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study comparing 6 % CS to placebo gel used for 14 days . Sexually abstinent women applied gel once or twice daily and sexually active women used gel once daily . RESULTS CS gel was safe with no reported severe or life-threatening adverse events ( AE ) . Thirty-nine ( 66 % ) of the participants experienced urogenital AE judged as probably or possibly related to gel . The majority ( 51 % ) of these participants reported only mild events . Fewer women ( 62 % ) who used CS experienced urogenital AE than those assigned to placebo gel ( 70 % ) ( P = 0.59 ) . Eleven ( 19 % ) women experienced intermenstrual bleeding judged to be probably or possibly related to gel use ( four in the CS and seven in the placebo gel group ) . There was no increase in AE by frequency of gel use or sexual activity with the exception of abdominal/pelvic pain which was noted more frequently with twice daily use among sexually abstinent women . Women and men found the gel highly acceptable . CONCLUSIONS This Phase I study demonstrated that CS vaginal gel was safe , well tolerated and acceptable by HIV-infected women and their male partners . Thus , further development of CS is warranted as a potential method to prevent HIV transmission and acquisition ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1714 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVE To compare holmium laser enucleation of the prostate ( HoLEP ) with transurethral resection of the prostate ( TURP ) for treatment of men with bladder outflow obstruction ( BOO ) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia with a minimum of 24-month follow-up . PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty-one patients were randomised to either HoLEP or TURP . All patients had BOO proven on urodynamic studies pre-operatively ( prostate size 40-200 g ) . One patient died before treatment , which left 30 patients in each group . Perioperative data , as well as symptom scores , Quality of Life ( QoL ) scores , and maximum urinary flow rates ( Qmax ) were obtained at one , three , six,12 , and 24 months . Post-void residual volumes , transrectal ultrasound ( TRUS ) volumes , and pressure flow studies were obtained six months post-operatively . Continence and potency data were also recorded . RESULTS There were no significant differences between the two surgical groups pre-operatively . Mean pre-operative TRUS volume was 77.8+/-5.6 g ( 42-152 ) in the HoLEP group and 70.0+/-5.0 g ( 46-156 ) in the TURP group . Patients in the HoLEP group had shorter catheter times and hospital stays . More prostate tissue was retrieved in the HoLEP group . At six months , HoLEP was urodynamically superior to TURP in relieving BOO . At 24 months , there was no significant difference between the two surgical groups with respect to American Urology Association scores , QoL scores , or Qmax values ; however , two patients in the TURP group required re-operation .

BACKGROUND Delays and deficits in joint attention and symbolic play constitute two important developmental problems in young children with autism . These areas of deficit have been well studied in autism but have rarely been the focus of treatment efforts ( see Kasari , Freeman , & Paparella , 2001 ) . In this study , we examine the efficacy of targeted interventions of joint attention and symbolic play . METHODS Participants were 58 children with autism aged 3 and 4 years ( 46 boys ) . Children were randomized to a joint attention intervention , a symbolic play intervention , or control group . Interventions were conducted 30 minutes daily for 5-6 weeks . Both structured assessments of joint attention and play skills and mother-child interactions were collected pre and post intervention by independent assessors . RESULTS Results indicate that both intervention groups improved significantly over the control group on certain behaviors . Children in the joint attention intervention initiated significantly more showing and responsiveness to joint attention on the structured joint attention assessment and more child-initiated joint attention in the mother-child interaction . The children in the play group showed more diverse types of symbolic play in interaction with their mothers and higher play levels on both the play assessment and in interaction with their mothers .

BACKGROUND Human rights legislation safeguards the privacy and dignity of patients . OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness in terms of patient assessed privacy of confidential registration . DESIGN Randomised controlled trial . SETTING Emergency Department , University Hospital of Wales . PARTICIPANTS A total of 302 patients aged over 15 years . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Binary choices and ordinal visual analogue scores from a validated questionnaire on self reported measures : patient ability and preference to speak to receptionists and disclose confidential information without being overhead and concern about disclosure of items of confidential personal information . RESULTS Patients who registered in a screened area felt significantly more able to tell receptionists things they did not want others to hear . Control patients were significantly more concerned than intervention patients that others heard their name , address , date of birth , reason for emergency department attendance , and telephone number , but not their marital status . Overall , intervention patients were less concerned about disclosure of information and that they had been overheard . CONCLUSIONS Patients value privacy when they register and are concerned if others can hear them tell receptionists who they are , how to contact them , and why they are there . Confidential registration should be instituted in health services . Confidential registration increased patient privacy and should be instituted in health services ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1590 ] ] } ]

[ { "id": "26280", "type": "document", "text": [ "Tradeoffs and theory : the double-mediation model . Most theories of decision making suggest that , when options imply tradeoffs between their attributes , conflict increases as tradeoff size increases , because greater sacrifices are to be incurred in choosing one option instead of another . An alternative view is that conflict decreases as tradeoff size increases , because stronger arguments can be made for any decision . The authors propose a unified model , the double-mediation model , which combines the mediating effects of sacrifice and argumentation . Our model generally predicts an inverse U-shaped relation between tradeoff size and conflict . Results support this prediction . Also , when the decision situation increases the mediating effect of sacrifice relative to that of argumentation , the relation between tradeoff size and conflict changes in an upward direction ; conversely , when the decision situation increases the mediating effect of argumentation relative to that of sacrifice , the relation changes in a downward direction . Results support these predictions as well . Commonalities and differences between our model and other formulations are discussed ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1188 ] ] } ]
