[ { "id": "6514", "type": "document", "text": [ "Four-year outcomes from adolescent alcohol and drug treatment . OBJECTIVE Knowledge of treatment response for alcohol and drug problems among adults is mounting ; less is known about long-term outcome for adolescents who receive treatment for alcohol and drug problems . The current study examined youth substance involvement over 4 years ( using five waves of data collection ) following treatment for alcohol and drug abuse . METHOD A cohort of youth ( N = 162 , 60 % male ) treated during adolescence ( mean age = 16 years ) was followed into young adulthood , a period associated with stabilization of alcohol use patterns and elevated risk for life problems secondary to both alcohol and drug use . Participants ( 14-18 years old ) were consecutive admissions to inpatient adolescent alcohol and drug treatment centers in San Diego that were abstinence focused and based on the 12-step approach . RESULTS Alcohol and other drug use were reduced during the 4 years posttreatment , with the exception of nicotine . The greatest prevalence reduction occurred for stimulants ; modest changes were evident in alcohol and marijuana use . Nicotine was the most commonly used substance throughout the 4 years after treatment . Several distinct substance involvement trajectories were evident during the 4 years following treatment . CONCLUSIONS Alcohol and drug use patterns during the 4 years following treatment highlight both changes and diversity in substance involvement as youth make the transitions from middle to late adolescence and into young adulthood . Findings demonstrate the importance of identifying transitional periods and the need for alternative intervention strategies that may help the progression of this population into young adulthood ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1758 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVE To investigate the free radicals ( FR ) generation after ischaemic preconditioning and cardiopulmonary bypass and during reperfusion in CABG patients , and the role of ischaemic preconditioning . METHODS Forty-three CABG patients were randomised into an ischaemic preconditioning and a control group . The protocol for ischaemic preconditioning was two cycles of 2-min ischaemia followed by 3-min reperfusion . Free radicals were measured using electron spin resonance spectroscopy . Global and right heart functions were collected . RESULTS The free radicals generation in coronary sinus blood in the ischaemic preconditioning group was 9.7 and 16.6 % after the ischaemic preconditioning protocol and 10 min after declamping , 6.8 and 13.3 % in the controls . The free radicals in arterial samples were , respectively , 21 , 14 , 10 and 9 % at 10 min , 1 , 2 and 24 h after reperfusion . Cardiac index ( CI ) and right ventricular ejection fraction ( RVEF ) were improved by ischaemic preconditioning . CONCLUSION Both ischaemic preconditioning and cardiopulmonary bypass induced free radicals generation . Although ischaemic preconditioning had no effect on free radicals generation after the operation , it protected against postoperative stunning ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1406 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine if an acute nicotine infusion alters insulin sensitivity to a similar degree in type 2 diabetic patients as in healthy control subjects . DESIGN . Double-blind , cross-over , placebo-controlled , randomized experimental study . Nicotine 0.3 microg kg-1 min ( -1 ) or NaCl was infused ( 2 h ) during a euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp ( 4 h ) to assess insulin sensitivity . SETTING University research laboratory . SUBJECTS Six male and female type 2 diabetic patients [ DM2 ; age 54 +/- 10 ( mean +/- SD ) years ; body mass index ( BMI ) 25.6 +/- 2.9 kg m ( -2 ) ] treated with diet or one oral hypoglycaemic agent and six age- and BMI-matched control subjects ( Ctr ) . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Insulin sensitivity ( rate of glucose infusion per kg fat free body mass and minute ) , nicotine and free fatty acid ( FFA ) levels , pulse rate and blood pressure . RESULTS The infusions produced similar nicotine levels in both groups . In the absence of nicotine , DM2 were more insulin resistant than Ctr ( 6.7 +/- 0.4 vs. 10.9 +/- 0.3 mg kg-1 LBM min ( -1 ) , respectively ; P < 0.0001 ) . This insulin resistance was further aggravated by the nicotine infusion in DM2 but not in Ctr ( 4.6 +/- 0.3 vs. 10.9 +/- 0.3 mg kg ( -1 ) LBM min ( -1 ) ; P < 0.0001 ) . Only minor differences were seen in FFA levels , pulse rates and blood pressure . CONCLUSIONS At this low infusion rate , nicotine aggravated the insulin resistance in DM2 but not in Ctr . This finding may be because of the ( dysmetabolic ) diabetic state per se or to an increased sensitivity to environmental factors associated with a genetic predisposition for type 2 diabetes . These results show that diabetic subjects are particularly susceptible to the detrimental effects of nicotine ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1913 ] ] } ]

The major causes of poor nutritional status are related to the underlying disease , socio-economic factors , age , and length of hospitalization . Despite its high prevalence , medical teams often overlook malnutrition , and screening of these patients is not routine . It is of utmost importance to identify patients at risk for malnutrition in order to prevent related complications . METHODS The 374 patients evaluated in this study were a subgroup of a larger multicenter , cross-sectional , randomized study that was carried out in 1996 . Nutritional status was assessed by using Subjective Global Assessment . RESULTS Malnutrition was present in 55 % of the patients , with 19 % of the patients severely malnourished . The presence of cancer , infection , age over 60 years , upper gastrointestinal disease , and longer length of hospital stay all negatively influenced nutritional status . Despite the high prevalence of malnutrition , the medical teams only assessed the nutritional status of a few patients . CONCLUSION Malnutrition was highly prevalent in this setting of patients . Therefore , patients with the risk factors above presented should routinely undergo nutritional screening and/or assessment in order to be able to early diagnose or prevent malnutrition and its correlated morbidity and mortality ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1930 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the haemorrhagic complications and efficacy of enoxaparin , a low molecular weight heparin ( LMWH ) , and conventional standard heparin ( SH ) in gynaecological oncologic surgery . MATERIALS METHODS A double blind , randomised trial was performed on 102 consecutive women undergoing gynaecologic cancer surgery with pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy . The women were separated into those who were given 2,500 IU enoxaparin once daily and SH in a dose of 5,000 IU three times daily . The groups were analysed for intraoperative blood loss , drainage , transfusion requirements , perioperative haemoglobin decrease , wound haematoma , and clinical deep venous thrombosis . RESULTS The two groups were well matched for age , weight , and other factors , which could predispose to the development of deep venous thrombosis ( DVT ) and haemorrhage . No patient developed clinical significant DVT , wound haematoma or intra-abdominal bleeding . There was no significant difference in bleeding complications between the two regimens . The antiFXa level in the plasma was correlated strongly with patient weight . CONCLUSIONS A dose of 2,500 IU enoxaparin/day does not cause more bleeding complications than SH 5,000 IU three times daily when used to prevent thrombosis .

This was designed as a prospective , randomized , double-blind , placebo-controlled , crossover pilot study . Participants were selected if they had a total laryngectomy and complained of rhinorrhea . They were asked to rate the severity and duration of their rhinorrhea each day throughout the study on a scale from zero to six . Each participant was initially given a saline nasal spray for one week . They were then randomized to use either IB or saline for the double-blinded portion of the study . Two sprays of IB at a dose of 42 micrograms/spray ( 0.06 % ) , or saline , were administered intranasally twice daily for two weeks , after which time the participants were given another nasal spray ( either IB or saline ) for the crossover portion of the study . Six patients entered and completed the study . Those patients using the IB recorded a mean 55 % decline in severity and a mean 51 % decline in duration of the rhinorrhea as compared to placebo . The relief in both severity and duration of rhinorrhea obtained by patients was analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and found to be highly significant ( p < 0.001 ) .

Previous clinical trials have demonstrated the important influence of ethnicity and dietary salt on the antihypertensive efficacy of drugs that block the renin angiotensin system . Angiotensin II receptor blockers are a new therapeutic entity that have not been widely studied in African American hypertensives , either alone , or in combination with other therapies such as diuretics or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors . We performed a pilot , prospective , open label , randomized design clinical trial to evaluate the effects of the angiotensin II receptor blocker valsartan ( 160 mg once a day ) on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive African Americans ( n = 88 ) on a low salt ( 100 mEq Na+/day ) for 2 weeks and the same diet supplemented by 100 mEq Na+ for 4 weeks . After this evaluation , while continuing the Na+ supplementation , patients were randomized to valsartan 320 mg/day ( n = 28 ) , or the addition of hydrochlorothiazide ( HCTZ ) 12.5 mg/day ( n = 30 ) , or benazepril 20 mg/day to the valsartan 160 mg/day for an additional 6 weeks . Valsartan ( 160 mg/day ) lowered blood pressure significantly in African American patients on both low salt ( -6.4/-4.8 mm Hg : P < .001 ) and a high salt diet ( -4.9/-3.8 mm Hg : P = .01 ) . The high salt diet attenuated the antihypertensive effect slightly ( 1.6/1.3 mm Hg , P = not significant ) . When comparing the efficacy of the three randomized therapeutic regimens while on the Na+ supplement , the valsartan 160 mg/HCTZ 12.5 mg was the most effective therapy with an incremental reduction in blood pressure of -10.5/-6.9 mm Hg ( P < .01 ) , compared to valsartan 160 mg/day alone . Doubling the dose of valsartan to 320 mg incrementally lowered blood pressure by -3.8/-3.3 mm Hg ( P = not significant ) . The least effective approach was adding benazepril 20 mg/day to valsartan 160 mg/day with no incremental reduction in systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure reduction of only 1.7 mm Hg ( P = not significant ) . We conclude that in our open label pilot study , the antihypertensive activity of valsartan is not significantly attenuated by supplemented salt diet in hypertensive African Americans . Moreover , adding a low dose of HCTZ appears to be the most effective strategy in enhancing the antihypertensive activity of this angiotensin II receptor blocker in contrast to either doubling the dose or adding an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2593 ] ] } ]

BACKGROUND The relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and non-ulcer dyspepsia is not established . AIM To determine whether eradication of H. pylori might be of benefit in non-ulcer dyspepsia patients . METHODS We randomly assigned 129 H. pylori infected patients with severe epigastric pain , without gastro-oesophageal reflux symptoms , to receive twice daily treatment with 300 mg of ranitidine , 1000 mg of amoxicillin , and 500 mg of clarithromycin for 7 days and 124 such patients to receive identical-appearing placebos . RESULTS Treatment was successful ( decrease of symptoms at 12 months ) in 62 % of patients in the active-treatment group and in 60 % of the placebo group ( N.S. ) . At 12 months , the rate of eradication of H. pylori was 69 % in the active-treatment group and 18 % in the placebo group ( P < 0.001 ) . Complete relief of symptoms occurred significantly more frequently in patients on the active treatment ( 43 % ) than in placebo-treated patients ( 31 % , P=0.048 ) . Within the active-treatment group , therapeutic success was significantly more frequent in the non-infected patients ( 84 % vs. 64 % , P=0.04 ) .

OBJECTIVES Conventional neuroleptics ameliorate symptoms in children with autistic disorder ; however , they are known to cause dyskinesias . Atypical neuroleptics , including olanzapine , may have less risk for dyskinesia , but their efficacy in autistic disorder is not established . This study was designed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of open-label olanzapine as a treatment for children with autistic disorder by using haloperidol as a standard comparator treatment . METHOD In a parallel groups design , 12 children with DSM-IV autistic disorder ( mean age 7.8+/-2.1 years ) were randomized to 6 weeks of open treatment with olanzapine or haloperidol . Mean final dosages were 7.9+/-2.5 mg/day for olanzapine and 1.4+/-0.7 mg/day for haloperidol . Outcome measures included the Clinical Global Impressions ( CGI ) and the Children 's Psychiatric Rating Scale ( CPRS ) . RESULTS Both groups had symptom reduction . Five of six in the olanzapine group and three of six in the haloperidol group were rated as responders according to the CGI Improvement item . Subjects showed improvement on the CPRS Autism Factor ( F1,9 = 24.4 , p = .0008 ) . Side effects included drowsiness and weight gain .

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of a community mobilization and youth development strategy to prevent drug abuse , violence , and risky sexual activity . DATA SOURCES/STUDY SETTING Primary surveys of youth , parents , and key neighborhood leaders were carried out at baseline ( 1994 ) and at the end of the intervention period ( 1997 ) . The study took place in four intervention and six control neighborhoods in Seattle . STUDY DESIGN The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial with neighborhood as the unit of randomization . The intervention consisted of a paid community organizer in each neighborhood who recruited a group of residents to serve as a community action board . Key variables included perceptions of neighborhood mobilization by youth , parents , and key neighborhood leaders . DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION METHODS Youth surveys were self-administered during school hours . Parent and neighborhood leader surveys were conducted over the phone by trained interviewers . PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Survey results showed that mobilization increased to the same degree in both intervention and control neighborhoods with no evidence of an overall intervention effect . There did appear to be a relative increase in mobilization in the neighborhood with the highest level of intervention activity . CONCLUSION This randomized study failed to demonstrate a measurable effect for a community mobilization intervention .

UNLABELLED Besides the standard method of anterior rhinomanometry ( aR ) , the impulse-oscillometric rhinometry ( IOS ) is available for measurements of the nasal resistance . The aR is a procedure dependent on the cooperation of the patient , whereas IOS is measured regardless from the breathing activities of the patient . We examined weather the resistance-measurement by means of IOS in comparison to the aR is a more suitable method for nasal allergic provocation . METHOD 17 patients with anamnestic known rhinokonjunktivitis ( 6 f , 11 m ) had a pricktest and then a nasal provocation testing with an allergen which provoked a reaction on the skin . The complete resistance of the nose was measured in a randomized order by means of aR and IOS . RESULTS The complete resistance showed neither in the basic measurement ( aR 0,38 +/- 0,14 kPa/l/s ; IOS 0,38 +/- 0,11 kPa/l/s ) nor in the control solution ( aR 0,38 +/- 0,14 ; IOS 0,39 +/- 0,14 ) nor after application of the allergenic solution ( 15 min : aR 0,69 +/- 0,27 ; IOS 0,77 +/- 0,42 ; 30 min : aR 0,65 +/- 0,29 ; IOS 0,6 +/- 0,38 ) a significant difference between the two methods . The results of the measurement of aR and IOS after the allergenic solution showed a positive correlation ( 15 min : r = 0,63 , p < 0,01 ; 30 min : r = 0,67 , p < 0,01 ) . We found by means of clinic and measurement methods in the aR of 7 patients a positive reaction , within 7 patient a negative reaction , 3 patients had a unspecific nasal hyperreactivity . There was a correspondence in 6 of the 7 patients with positive reaction in aR between both methods . 4 of the 7 results with negative reaction in the aR would have been positive then underlying the same criteria in the IOS without announcing the symptomscore a relevant clinical symptomatic while testing . CONCLUSION IOS is a suitable procedure for nasal provocation testing and provides results similar to the aR . In comparison to aR IOS is not dependent on the patients cooperation . Due to its higher sensitivity the valid limits of the aR at provocation testings can not be transferred to IOS to avoid a false positive reaction ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2271 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVE To determine concentrations of ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride in aqueous humor after topical or combined topical and oral administration in eyes with filtering blebs . DESIGN A prospective , investigator-masked , randomized , controlled comparative study involving 36 eyes of 34 patients with functioning filtering blebs who were to undergo cataract surgery . Treatment groups received either topical ofloxacin or topical ciprofloxacin ( instillation of 0.3 % ophthalmic solution every 30 minutes for 4 hours before surgery ) , or a combined topical plus oral regimen ( ciprofloxacin hydrochloride , four 100-mg tablets , or ofloxacin , one 400-mg tablet , administered 24-26 , 12-14 , and 2 hours preceding surgery ) . The main outcome measure was antibiotic concentration measured by chromatographic separation and mass spectrometry of aqueous samples obtained during surgery . RESULTS Topical antibiotic treatment yielded mean concentrations of ofloxacin , 0.75 microg/mL , and ciprofloxacin , 0.21 microg/mL , in aqueous . With combined topical and oral therapy , significantly more ofloxacin was measured than ciprofloxacin ( 3.84 microg/mL vs 0.35 microg/mL [ P < .001 ] ) . The combination regimen produced significantly greater ofloxacin levels than did topical therapy alone ( P =.007 ) . CONCLUSIONS Ofloxacin penetrates better than ciprofloxacin into the aqueous of eyes with filtering blebs , particularly after combined topical and oral administration , by which ofloxacin reaches more than a 10-fold greater concentration than does ciprofloxacin .

A meta-analysis of 13 randomized placebo-controlled trials published between 1960 and 1992 showed evidence of benefit for dipyridamole in the treatment of angina pectoris , especially with longer duration of treatment . Aim To assess the efficacy and safety of dipyridamole in the treatment of patients with chronic stable angina in a large scale , international , randomized , placebo-controlled , parallel group study . METHODS Four hundred patients with chronic stable angina pectoris and a positive treadmill exercise test were randomized to receive either modified release dipyridamole ( 200 mg b.i.d . p.o. , n=198 ) or corresponding placebo ( n=202 ) , for 24 weeks as an add-on to conventional antianginal therapy and for 4 additional weeks as monotherapy -- the latter after withdrawal of standard treatment with calcium antagonists and/or beta-blockers and/or long-acting ( prophylactic ) nitrates . RESULTS Of the 198 patients randomized to dipyridamole , 134 completed the add-on and only 12 the monotherapy phase . Of the 202 patients randomized to placebo , 162 reached the add-on and only 12 the monotherapy phase . Serious adverse events occurred in 15 patients with dipyridamole and in 12 with placebo ( 7.6 % vs 6.0 , P=0.52 ) . Increase over the baseline treadmill exercise test was similar in the treatment groups at each stage of the trial for all the main efficacy parameters : total treadmill exercise test duration ; time to first anginal pain ( except for a -13 s difference in favour of placebo at week 24 ; P=0.040 ) ; time to ST segment depression > 0.1 mVolt ( except for a +21 s difference in favour of dipyridamole at week 8 ; P=0.024 ; this latter difference was totally attributable to patients with lower exercise tolerance -- Bruce stage II at study entry ) .

To determine whether antioxidants can influence human susceptibility to ozone ( O ( 3 ) ) -induced changes in lung function and airway inflammation , we placed 31 healthy nonsmoking adults ( 18 to 35 yr old ) on a diet low in ascorbate for 3 wk . At 1 wk , subjects were exposed to filtered air for 2 h while exercising ( 20 L/min/m ( 2 ) ) , and then underwent bronchoalveolar lavage ( BAL ) and were randomly assigned to receive either a placebo or 250 mg of vitamin C , 50 IU of alpha-tocopherol , and 12 oz of vegetable cocktail daily for 2 wk .

Tropisetron and granisetron are selective serotonin ( 5-HT3 ) antagonists that have been proven effective in the prevention of nausea and vomiting in adults and children receiving cancer chemotherapy . This prospective , randomised study was designed to compare the efficacy of the two agents in the prevention of vomiting and nausea in children receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy for various malignancies . A total of 51 children ( mean age : 7.7 +/- 4.8 year ) were studied in 133 chemotherapy cycles . In 66 chemotherapy cycles , the children received tropisetron as an antiemetic agent in a dose of 0.2 mg/kg/24 h intravenously and , in 67 cycles , they received granisetron 40 micrograms/kg/24 h intravenously before cytotoxic drug administration during the days they received chemotherapy . The response per 24 h of chemotherapy was defined as complete ( no nausea and vomiting ) , partial ( 1-4 events of vomiting and/or nausea ) , and failure ( more than 4 events of vomiting and/or nausea ) . Efficacy of antiemetic therapy was evaluated as acute ( Day 1 ) and overall was based on the worst day during the chemotherapy . Complete control of acute vomiting was achieved in 74 % of tropisetron and 88 % of granisetron patients ( P = 0.04 ) , and complete control of acute nausea in 56 % and 82 % respectively ( p = 0.002 ) . Overall response by means of complete control of both vomiting and nausea during the whole therapy period was 29 % of tropisetron group and 55 % of granisetron group ( p = 0.007 ) . The statistical analysis ( depending on the emetogenicity of the chemotherapy cycles ) showed increased efficacy of granisetron in highly ( grade 3 ) emetogenic chemotherapy cycles ( p = 0.002 ) , whereas there was no difference in the very highly emetogenic cycles ( p = 0.7 ) . Also , granisetron was found to be more effective than tropisetron , especially in patients heavier than 25 kg ( p = 0.02 ) . The adverse reactions were few and mild . There were no differences in the tolerability of the two antiemetic therapy modalities . In conclusion , granisetron was found to be more effective than tropisetron in controlling nausea and vomiting in children receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy . This increased antiemetic efficacy of ganisetron might have been related to maximal dose differences according to body weight ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2484 ] ] } ]

Dose Dependency for pharmacokinetics of theophylline and the formation of its major metabolites , 3-methylxanthine ( 3-MX ) ; 1-methyluric acid ( 1-MU ) ; 1,3-dimethyluric acid ( DMU ) , were examined by administering three single oral doses ( 250 , 375 , 500 mg ) of theophylline to six healthy adult volunteers . The serum and urine concentrations of theophylline and the metabolites in serum and urine were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography . Total clearance of theophylline decreased and its half life increased over the range of doses administered ( p < 0.01 ) . There was a significant dose related decrease in the fractional recovery of 3-MX and 1-MU ( p < 0.001 ) and a dose related increase in fractional excretion of DMU and unchanged theophylline ( p < 0.01 and p < 0.001 respectively ) . No significant dose related changes were observed in the renal clearance of 3-MX , 1-MU and DMU , indicating linear urinary excretion kinetics of the metabolites . Theophylline metabolic clearance to 3-MX as well as to 1-MU decreased with increasing dose but clearance to DMU remained unnaffected by the size of dose . The individual Michaelis-Menten parameters Km and Vmax were estimated for six subjects receiving three different single doses . The Km values for theophylline metabolism to 3-MX , 1-MU and DMU were 2.4+/-0.6 , 5.1+/-1.8+/- and 112.3+/-36.8 mg/L respectively and the Vmax values were 3.5+/-0.7 , 7.5+/-2.6 and 112.3+/-36.8 mg/hr respectively . The Km values for the N-demethylation pathways ( 3MX and 1-MU ) were lower corresponding to therapeutic serum concentrations of drug .

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Epidural analgesia has been shown to provide superior pain control compared with intravenous ( IV ) opioids after major surgical procedures . In this study , we compared the effect of epidural analgesia and IV morphine patient-controlled analgesia ( PCA ) on pain relief , duration of hospitalization , oral nutrition , ambulation , and side effects in patients undergoing a major surgical procedure ( i.e. , unilateral mastectomy with immediate transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap reconstruction ) . METHODS Eighteen patients were prospectively randomized to receive either epidural analgesia or PCA during the postoperative period . The intensity of pain was assessed daily by a 100-mm visual analog scale . The total length of hospital stay , time to ambulation , and time to oral nutrition were recorded . RESULTS The epidural group had significantly lower pain scores at 3 evaluation times through postoperative day number 4 ( P < .05 ) . The total length of hospitalization for the epidural group ( median , 101 hours ) was significantly less than the PCA group ( median , 126 hours ; P = .0498 ) . The time to first ambulation , time to first bowel sounds , time to tolerating oral nutrition , incidence of nausea/vomiting or pruritus , and time to first flatus were not statistically different between the groups . CONCLUSIONS These results show that epidural analgesia compared with PCA offered improved pain control after breast reconstruction with immediate transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap reconstruction .

OBJECTIVE To test the effectiveness of interventions intended to increase rates of regular breast cancer screening , according to recommended guidelines . STUDY DESIGN A randomized controlled trial of 2 outreach interventions ( a mail reminder and a telephone reminder plus appointment scheduling ) compared with a routine publicity campaign to encourage continued participation in mammography screening . PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS Participants were 1908 women aged 50 to 75 years continuously enrolled in a large group-model HMO during the study who underwent a bilateral mammogram during the first quarter of 1994 and no subsequent mammogram during the next 18 to 21 months . Data were obtained from health plan administrative data files supplemented by medical chart review . Women were randomly assigned to receive ( 1 ) a mail reminder , ( 2 ) a telephone reminder , or ( 3 ) routine publicity on mammography for all women . The outcome measure was a mammogram received after the intervention period and within 2 years of the initial mammogram date . RESULTS Bivariate and multivariate statistical analyses showed that participation was significantly higher for women contacted by telephone than through routine publicity . Mail reminders were no more effective than a routine publicity campaign . Primary care physician and gynecologist visits increased the likelihood of a subsequent mammogram for women in all intervention groups . CONCLUSIONS Telephone contact by regular health plan staff was more successful than publicity in encouraging continued participation in mammography screening in women enrolled in a group-model managed health care plan .

The aim of this study was to determine whether the rates of in vitro oocyte maturation , fertilization and cleavage , as well as implantation rate and pregnancy rate , could be improved by low-dose priming with FSH in vivo before retrieval of immature oocytes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome ( PCOS ) . From March 1998 to June 2000 , a total of 28 women underwent 36 completed treatment cycles , randomized sequentially in one of two groups . Women in group 1 ( n = 12 cycles ) received no stimulation and women in group 2 ( n = 24 cycles ) received 150 iu recombinant FSH day ( -1 ) for 3 days , initiated on day 3 after menstruation . Aspiration was performed transvaginally between day 9 and day 17 in the unstimulated group and on day 8 or day 9 in the FSH-primed group after FSH deprivation for 2 or 3 days . All cumulus-enclosed oocytes of healthy appearance were matured in culture medium ( TCM-199 ) in vitro for 28-36 h before intracytoplasmic sperm injection ( ICSI ) . After oocyte retrieval the women were given oestradiol ( 6 mg day ( -1 ) ) and progesterone administration ( 300 mg day ( -1 ) ) was initiated 2 days later . Suitable embryos ( maximum two embryos ) were transferred on day 3 after ICSI . The percentage of oocytes reaching metaphase II was significantly higher ( P < 0.05 ) in the FSH-primed group ( 59 % , 92/156 ) compared with the non-primed group ( 44 % , 36/81 ) . There were no significant differences in the rates of oocyte fertilization and cleavage between these groups . No pregnancies were obtained in group 1 ( 0 % , 0/12 ) , whereas seven clinical pregnancies were obtained in group 2 ( 29 % , 7/24 ) ( P < 0.05 ) . In group 2 , 37 embryo transfers resulted in eight implantations ( 21.6 % ) . Three healthy singleton children have been born at term ; the remaining pregnancies ended with spontaneous abortions in the first trimester . These results indicate that priming with recombinant FSH before harvesting of immature oocytes from patients with PCOS may improve the maturational potential of the oocytes and the implantation rate of the cleaved embryos ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2243 ] ] } ]

METHODS This 12-month , open , prospective study was conducted in 15 centers in France and 1 center in Belgium ; 309 patients were randomized to receive either induction therapy with ATG ( n=151 ) followed by initiation of tacrolimus on day 9 or immediate tacrolimus-based triple therapy ( n=158 ) . In both study arms , the initial daily tacrolimus dose was 0.2 mg/kg . Steroid boluses were given in the first 2 days and tapered thereafter from 20 mg/day to 5 mg/day . Azathioprine was administered at 1-2 mg/kg per day . RESULTS At month 12 , biopsy-confirmed acute rejections were reported for 15.2 % ( induction ) and 30.4 % ( noninduction ) of patients ( P=0.001 ) . The incidence of steroid-sensitive acute rejections was 7.9 % ( induction ) and 22.2 % ( noninduction ) ( P=0.001 ) .

STUDY OBJECTIVES This study sought to establish the effects of caffeine on sleep inertia , which is the ubiquitous phenomenon of cognitive performance impairment , grogginess and tendency to return to sleep immediately after awakening . DESIGN 28 normal adult volunteers were administered sustained low-dose caffeine or placebo ( randomized double-blind ) during the last 66 hours of an 88-hour period of extended wakefulness that included seven 2-hour naps during which polysomnographical recordings were made . Every 2 hours of wakefulness , and immediately after abrupt awakening from the naps , psychomotor vigilance performance was tested . SETTING N/A . PARTICIPANTS N/A . INTERVENTIONS N/A . MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS In the placebo condition , sleep inertia was manifested as significantly impaired psychomotor vigilance upon awakening from the naps . This impairment was absent in the caffeine condition . Caffeine had only modest effects on nap sleep . CONCLUSIONS Caffeine was efficacious in overcoming sleep inertia . This suggests a reason for the popularity of caffeine-containing beverages after awakening . Caffeine 's main mechanism of action on the central nervous system is antagonism of adenosine receptors .

BACKGROUND To elucidate the most efficient topical therapy for carcinoma in situ of the bladder , the efficacy of intravesical mitomycin C plus doxorubicin therapy was compared with bacillus Calmette-Guerin ( BCG ) therapy . The clinical behavior of the tumor was analysed according to the histological grade . METHODS Forty-two patients with carcinoma in situ of the bladder were randomized to intravesical BCG ( 21 patients ) or mitomycin C plus doxorubicin sequential therapy ( 21 patients ) as first line treatment . The non-responders underwent the subsequent instillation of the other intravesical therapy alternately . Of the patients , 27 had grade 2 and 15 had grade 3 cancer . RESULTS Both topical therapies were equally effective with initial response rates of 86 % ( 18/21 ) for BCG and 81 % ( 17/21 ) for mitomycin C plus doxorubicin , irrespective of the tumor grade . Of seven initial non-responders , five patients achieved a complete response by subsequent instillation , resulting in a total response rate of 95 % . After a mean follow-up of 47 months , five patients ( 12 % ) developed disease progression . The progression rates were not different between the topical therapies , but were significantly higher in grade 3 than in grade 2 cases . CONCLUSION It appears likely that mitomycin C plus doxorubicin instillation has an equivalent efficacy to BCG as the initial therapy of carcinoma in situ and the combination of them would be the most efficient treatment for the disease . Moreover , histological grading would be clinically useful in defining the tumor characteristics and behavior of carcinoma in situ of the bladder ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1790 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme ( ACE ) inhibition on the local stimulated release of tissue plasminogen activator ( t-PA ) from the endothelium . BACKGROUND Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor therapy may exert a beneficial effect on the endogenous fibrinolytic balance . METHODS Blood flow and plasma fibrinolytic factors were measured in both forearms of eight healthy males who received unilateral brachial artery infusions of the endothelium-dependent vasodilators substance P ( 2 to 8 pmol/min ) and bradykinin ( 100 to 1,000 pmol/min ) , and the endothelium-independent vasodilator sodium nitroprusside ( 2 to 8 microg/min ) . These measurements were performed on each of three occasions following one week of matched placebo , quinapril 40 mg or losartan 50 mg daily administered in a double-blind randomized crossover design . RESULTS Sodium nitroprusside , substance P and bradykinin produced dose-dependent increases in the blood flow of infused forearm ( analysis of variance [ ANOVA ] , p < 0.001 for all ) . Although sodium nitroprusside did not affect plasma t-PA concentrations , they were increased dose-dependently in the infused forearm by substance P and bradykinin infusion ( ANOVA , p < 0.001 for both ) . Bradykinin-induced release of active t-PA was more than doubled during treatment with quinapril in comparison to placebo or losartan ( two-way ANOVA : p < 0.003 for treatment group , p < 0.001 for t-PA response and p = ns for interaction ) , whereas the substance P response was unaffected .

OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to determine whether cardiac pacing reduces falls in older adults with cardioinhibitory carotid sinus hypersensitivity ( CSH ) . BACKGROUND Cardioinhibitory carotid sinus syndrome causes syncope , and symptoms respond to cardiac pacing . There is circumstantial evidence for an association between falls and the syndrome . METHODS A randomized controlled trial was done of consecutive older patients ( > 50 years ) attending an accident and emergency facility because of a non-accidental fall . Patients were randomized to dual-chamber pacemaker implant ( paced patients ) or standard treatment ( controls ) . The primary outcome was the number of falls during one year of follow-up . RESULTS One hundred seventy-five eligible patients ( mean age 73 +/- 10 years ; 60 % women ) were randomized to the trial : pacemaker 87 ; controls 88 . Falls ( without loss of consciousness ) were reduced by two-thirds : controls reported 669 falls ( mean 9.3 ; range 0 to 89 ) , and paced patients 216 falls ( mean 4.1 ; range 0 to 29 ) . Thus , paced patients were significantly less likely to fall ( odds ratio 0.42 ; 95 % confidence interval : 0.23 , 0.75 ) than were controls . Syncopal events were also reduced during the follow-up period , but there were much fewer syncopal events than falls-28 episodes in paced patients and 47 in controls . Injurious events were reduced by 70 % ( 202 in controls compared to 61 in paced patients ) . CONCLUSIONS There is a strong association between non-accidental falls and cardioinhibitory CSH .

OBJECTIVES To test the hypotheses that : ( 1 ) Lumbar spine radiography in primary care patients with low back pain is not associated with improved patient outcomes , including pain , disability , health status , sickness absence , reassurance , and patient satisfaction or belief in the value of radiography . ( 2 ) Lumbar spine radiography in primary care patients with low back pain is not associated with changes in patient management , including medication use , and the use of primary and secondary care services , physical therapies and complementary therapies . ( 3 ) Participants choosing their treatment group ( i.e . radiography or no radiography ) do not have better outcomes than those randomised to a treatment group . ( 4 ) Lumbar spine radiography is not cost-effective compared with usual care without lumbar spine radiography . DESIGN A randomised unblinded controlled trial . SETTING Seventy-three general practices in Nottingham , North Nottinghamshire , Southern Derbyshire , North Lincolnshire and North Leicestershire . Fifty-two practices recruited participants to the trial . SUBJECTS Randomised arm : 421 participants with low back pain , with median duration of 10 weeks . Patient preference arm : 55 participants with low back pain , with median duration of 11 weeks . INTERVENTION Lumbar spine radiography and usual care versus usual care without radiography . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Roland adaptation of the Sickness Impact Profile , visual analogue pain scale , health status scale , EuroQol , use of primary and secondary care services , and physical and complementary therapies , sickness absence , medication use , patient satisfaction , reassurance and belief in value of radiography at 3 and 9 months post-randomisation . RESULTS Participants randomised to receive an X-ray were more likely to report low back pain at 3 months ( odds ratio ( OR ) = 1.56 ; 95 % confidence interval ( CI ) , 1.02 to 2.40 ) and had a lower overall health status score ( p = 0.02 ) . There were no differences in health or functional status at 9 months . A higher proportion of participants consulted the general practitioner ( GP ) in the 3 months following an X-ray ( OR = 2.72 ; 95 % CI , 1.80 to 4.10 ) . There were no differences in use of any other services , medication use or sickness absence at 3 or 9 months . No serious spinal pathology was identified in either group . The commonest X-ray reports were of discovertebral degeneration and normal findings . Many patients did not perceive their information needs were met within the consultation . Satisfaction with care was greater in the group receiving radiography at 9 months . Participants randomised to receive an X-ray were not less worried , or more reassured about serious disease causing their low back pain . Satisfaction was associated with meeting participants ' information needs and reduced belief in the necessity for investigations for low back pain , including X-rays and blood tests . In both groups , at 3 and 9 months 80 % of participants would choose to have an X-ray if the choice was available . Participants in the patient preference group achieved marginally better outcomes than those randomised to a treatment group , but the clinical significance of these differences is unclear . Lumbar spine radiography was associated with a net economic loss at 3 and 9 months . CONCLUSIONS Lumbar spine radiography in primary care patients with low back pain of at least 6 weeks duration is not associated with improved functioning , severity of pain or overall health status , and is associated with an increase in GP workload .

Cardiovascular risk is increased in GH deficiency ( GHD ) . GHD adults are frequently abdominally obese and display features of the metabolic syndrome . Otherwise healthy abdominally obese subjects have low GH levels and show features of the metabolic syndrome as well . We investigated in healthy nonobese males the effect of the GH receptor antagonist pegvisomant in different metabolic conditions . This is a model for acute GHD without the alterations in body composition associated with GHD . We compared the effect of pegvisomant with that of placebo before and after 3 d of fasting . In addition , we investigated the effect of pegvisomant under normal , i.e . fed , conditions . Three days of fasting as well as pegvisomant alone decreased serum free IGF-I levels ( 1.0 +/- 0.15 vs. 0.31 +/- 0.05 ng/ml and 0.86 +/- 0.23 vs. 0.46 +/- 0.23 ng/ml , respectively ) . Fasting in combination with pegvisomant also decreased serum free IGF-I levels ( 1.0 +/- 0.15 vs. 0.31 +/- 0.07 ng/ml ) . Treatment with pegvisomant had no additional influence on the decline of free IGF-I induced by fasting . Pegvisomant alone had no influence on insulin sensitivity . The increase in insulin sensitivity induced by fasting was comparable to the increase in insulin sensitivity induced by fasting combined with pegvisomant . Among serum lipid concentrations , only serum triglycerides increased significantly as a result of pegvisomant alone ( 1.0 +/- 0.2 vs. 1.6 +/- 0.4 mmol/liter ) . The changes in lipid concentrations induced by fasting alone or pegvisomant were not different from those induced by pegvisomant alone . von Willebrand factor antigen levels declined significantly under the influence of pegvisomant alone ( 1.1 +/- 0.07 vs. 0.8 +/- 0.06 U/ml ) . In conclusion , in different metabolic conditions the GH receptor antagonist pegvisomant induces no significant acute changes in the major risk markers for cardiovascular disease .

BACKGROUND Arginine vasopressin may contribute to abnormalities in hemodynamics and fluid balance in heart failure through its actions on V ( 1A ) ( vascular and myocardial effects ) and V ( 2 ) receptors ( renal effects ) . Inhibiting the action of vasopressin may be beneficial in patients with heart failure . METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 142 patients with symptomatic heart failure ( New York Heart Association class III and IV ) were randomized to double-blind , short-term treatment with conivaptan , a dual V ( 1a ) /V ( 2 ) vasopressin receptor antagonist , at a single intravenous dose ( 10 , 20 , or 40 mg ) or placebo . Compared with placebo , conivaptan at 20 and 40 mg significantly reduced pulmonary capillary wedge pressure ( -2.6+/-0.7 , -5.4+/-0.7 , and -4.6+/-0.7 mm Hg for placebo and 20 and 40 mg groups , respectively ; P < 0.05 ) and right atrial pressure ( -2.0+/-0.4 , -3.7+/-0.4 , and -3.5+/-0.4 mm Hg for placebo and 20 and 40 mg groups , respectively ; P < 0.05 ) during the 3- to 6-hour interval after intravenous administration . Conivaptan significantly increased urine output in a dose-dependent manner ( -11+/-17 , 68+/-17 , 152+/-19 , and 176+/-18 mL/hour for placebo and 10 , 20 , and 40 mg groups , respectively ; P < 0.001 ) during the first 4 hours after the dose . Changes in cardiac index , systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance , blood pressure , and heart rate did not significantly differ from placebo . CONCLUSIONS In patients with advanced heart failure , vasopressin receptor antagonism with conivaptan resulted in favorable changes in hemodynamics and urine output without affecting blood pressure or heart rate .

OBJECTIVE We performed a randomized , prospective trial to assess the impact of fibrin glue on the incidence of lymphocysts after systematic pelvic or pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy in patients with gynecologic malignancies . METHODS Ninety-three consecutive patients with gynecologic pelvic malignancies who underwent surgery including pelvic or pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy were randomized during surgery to be treated with fibrin glue or not . Serial computed tomography ( CT ) scans were performed during follow-up . CT findings of a smooth and thin-walled cavity filled with a water-equivalent fluid , sharply demarcated from its surroundings and without signs of infiltration were interpreted as lymphocysts . RESULTS Forty-seven patients ( 51 % ) were treated with fibrin glue and 46 ( 49 % ) were not . All 93 patients underwent pelvic lymphadenectomy ; 15 patients ( 32 % ) of the fibrin group and 12 ( 26 % ) of the controls also underwent paraaortic lymphadenectomy . We found no significant differences between patients who received fibrin glue and those who did not . CONCLUSION Intraoperative application of fibrin glue did not reduce the rate of postoperative lymphocysts after lymphadenectomy and had no impact on any follow-up parameter .

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of treatment with the antiherpes drug valacyclovir on MRI-evident lesions in patients with relapsing-remitting MS in a phase 2 , randomized , double-blind , placebo-controlled study . BACKGROUND It has been postulated from virologic studies that herpesvirus infection could play a role in the progression of MS. METHODS Patients were eligible for the study if they had had two or more MS relapses in the 2-year period before enrollment . Seventy patients with Expanded Disability Status Scale scores of 0 to 5.5 were randomly assigned to receive 1 gram of valacyclovir ( n = 36 ) or placebo ( n = 34 ) three times daily for 24 weeks . Patients underwent MRI every fourth week for 32 weeks : twice during pretreatment , six times during treatment , and once after treatment . Scoring of neurologic disability was performed at the start and end of the treatment period . The primary endpoint was the number of new active MRI-evident lesions over 24 weeks of treatment . Secondary endpoints included other MRI measures and clinical endpoints . RESULTS The mean number of new active lesions +/- SD per patient during 24 weeks of treatment with valacyclovir was 11.9 +/- 17.6 and that during placebo treatment was 14.5 +/- 21.4 . A protocol-planned exploratory analysis stratified patients according to baseline activity ; this analysis showed that patients with high levels of disease activity in the valacyclovir treatment group ( n = 17 ) developed fewer new active lesions per scan than did those in the placebo treatment group ( n = 11 ) . The median number ( Q ( 1 ) , Q ( 3 ) range ) of active lesions was 2.0 ( 1.38 , 3.96 ) in the valacyclovir treatment group and 6.5 ( 2.63 , 9.0 ) in the placebo treatment group . CONCLUSIONS Valacyclovir treatment did not reduce the formation of active lesions in patients with relapsing-remitting MS who had two or more relapses during the previous 2-year period . In a subgroup of patients with high levels of disease activity who had more than one active MRI-evident lesion during 4 weeks , valacyclovir treatment was associated with a reduced number of new active MRI-evident lesions and with an increase in the number of scans free of new active lesions . The results of the exploratory subgroup analysis provide support for further studies of antiherpes therapy for patients with MS and high levels of MRI-evident disease activity ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2508 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVES The study was done to investigate the relationship between clinical restenosis and the relative angiographic location of the recurrent restenotic lesion , after treatment of in-stent restenosis with vascular brachytherapy in the Washington Radiation for In-Stent Restenosis Trial ( WRIST ) . BACKGROUND Intracoronary radiation therapy reduces recurrence of in-stent restenosis . We investigated the above objective in patients enrolled in WRIST . METHODS The WRIST study randomized 130 patients to double-blinded therapy with gamma irradiation ( iridium-192 [ ( 192 ) Ir ] ) versus placebo after interventional treatment of diffuse in-stent restenosis . After the intervention and at follow-up , three vessel segments were individually analyzed with quantitative coronary angiography : 1 ) the \" stent , \" 2 ) the \" radiation ribbon , \" and 3 ) the \" ribbon+margin \" segment ( including 5 mm on either end of the injured or radiation-ribbon segment ) . Receiver operator curves ( ROC ) were used to assess the value of the follow-up percent diameter stenosis ( DS ) for each of the three analyzed segments in predicting target vessel revascularization ( TVR ) . RESULTS ( 192 ) Ir reduced recurrent restenosis ( 23.7 % vs. 60.7 % , p < 0.001 ) and the length of recurrent restenosis ( 8.99 +/- 4.34 mm vs. 17.54 +/- 10.48 mm , p < 0.001 ) at follow-up compared to placebo . Isolated stent edge ( 3.4 % ) and ribbon edge ( 1.7 % ) restenoses were infrequent in both groups . The best angiographic surrogate of TVR was the 50 % follow-up DS obtained from the ribbon+margin analysis ( ROC area 0.806 ) .

BACKGROUND Treating hypertension with drugs is so far the most cost-effective way to reduce this important risk factor for cardiovascular disease ( CVD ) . It is , however , important to determine absolute risk , and thereby estimate indication for drug treatment , in order to maintain a cost-effective drug treatment . WHO/ISH Hypertension Guidelines from 1999 propose a risk stratification for estimating absolute risk for CVD based on blood pressure and additional risk factors , target organ damage ( TOD ) and CVD . OBJECTIVES We studied the consequences of applying the recent WHO/ISH risk stratification scheme to a MONICA sample of 6000 subjects from a geographically defined population in northern Sweden , regarding indications for treatment , target blood pressure and risk distribution . METHODS We have risk-classified each of these patients using a computer program , according to the WHO/ISH scheme . Data on TOD were not available . RESULTS In all , 917 ( 15 % ) had drug-treated hypertension . Three-quarters ( n = 737 ) were inadequately treated , with blood pressure levels at or above 140 or 90 mmHg . 1773 ( 30 % of 5997 ) untreated subjects had a blood pressure of 140/90 or above ; 16 % in the low- , 62 % in the medium- , 8 % in the high- , and 14 % in the very-high-risk group . The corresponding risk-group pattern for the inadequately treated hypertensives ( n = 737 ) was 5.5 , 48.3 , 11.1 and 35.2 % , respectively . If we shifted the target blood pressure from below 140/90 to below 130/85 for drug-treated subjects under 60 ( n = 278 ) the number of inadequately treated subjects increased by 34 ( 12.2 % of 278 ) ; 14 in the low-risk group , 15 in the medium-risk group , and only five in the high- or very-high-risk groups . CONCLUSIONS Only one-fifth of the drug-treated hypertensives were well controlled . Moreover , the incidence of newly detected blood pressure elevation was high . The majority of younger subjects with high blood pressure had low risk , but in those aged 45-54 this had already risen to a medium risk . Changing the target blood pressure to below 130/85 , for subjects aged below 60 , as recommended by WHO/ISH , affects predominantly low- and medium-risk groups ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2301 ] ] } ]

UNLABELLED We conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare the recovery characteristics of selective spinal anesthesia ( SSA ) and desflurane anesthesia ( DES ) in outpatient gynecological laparoscopy . Twenty ASA physical status I patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopy were randomized to receive either SSA with lidocaine 10 mg + sufentanil 10 microg or general anesthesia with DES and N ( 2 ) O. Intraoperative conditions , recovery times , postanesthesia recovery scores , and postoperative outcomes were recorded . Intraoperative conditions were comparable in both groups . All patients in the SSA group were awake and oriented at the end of surgery , whereas patients in the DES group required 7 +/- 2 min for extubation and orientation . SSA patients had a significantly shorter time to straight leg raising ( 3 +/- 1 min versus 9 +/- 4 min ; P < 0.0001 ) and to ambulation ( 3 +/- 0.9 min versus 59 +/- 16 min ; P < 0.0001 ) compared with the DES group . SSA patients had significantly less postoperative pain than DES patients ( P < 0.05 ) . We concluded that SSA was an effective alternative to DES for outpatient gynecological laparoscopy .

[ { "id": "7951", "type": "document", "text": [ "Marginal biotin deficiency during normal pregnancy . BACKGROUND Biotin deficiency is teratogenic in several mammalian species . Approximately 50 % of pregnant women have an abnormally increased urinary excretion of 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid ( 3-HIA ) , which probably reflects decreased activity of the biotin-dependent enzyme methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase . However , increased 3-HIA excretion could result from pregnancy per se ( eg , from an effect of pregnancy on renal handling of organic acids ) . OBJECTIVE We tested the hypothesis that biotin supplementation significantly decreases 3-HIA excretion in pregnant women with abnormally increased 3-HIA excretion . DESIGN Twenty-six pregnant women with increased 3-HIA excretion were studied in a randomized , placebo-controlled trial ; 10 women were studied during early pregnancy ( 6-17 wk gestation ) and 16 women during late pregnancy ( 21-37 wk gestation ) . Urine samples were collected before and after 14 d of supplementation with 300 microg ( 1.2 micromol ) biotin/d or placebo . RESULTS In the early-pregnancy group , 3-HIA excretion decreased ( P < 0.006 ) by 11.7 +/- 3.6 mmol/mol creatinine ( mean +/- SEM ) in the 5 women who received biotin supplements , whereas 3-HIA excretion increased by 1.6 +/- 0.6 mmol/mol creatinine in the 5 women who received placebo . In the late-pregnancy group , 3-HIA excretion decreased ( P < 0.002 ) by 7.1 +/- 1.2 mmol/mol creatinine in the 8 women who received biotin supplements , whereas 3-HIA excretion increased by 0.9 +/- 1.8 mmol/mol creatinine in the 8 women who received placebo . CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence that the increased excretion of 3-HIA seen frequently in normal pregnancy reflects reduced biotin status .

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and toxicity of the liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin , TLC D-99 ( Myocet , Elan Pharmaceuticals , Princeton , NJ ) , and conventional doxorubicin in first-line treatment of metastatic breast carcinoma ( MBC ) . METHODS Two hundred twenty-four patients with MBC and no prior therapy for metastatic disease were randomized to receive either TLC D-99 ( 75 mg/m ( 2 ) ) or doxorubicin ( 75 mg/m ( 2 ) ) every 3 weeks , in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity . The primary efficacy endpoint was response rate . Responses were assessed using World Health Organization criteria and were required to be of at least 6 weeks ' duration . The primary safety endpoint was cardiotoxicity . Cardiac function was monitored by multiple-gated radionuclide cardioangiography scan , and the left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF ) was scored at a central laboratory . Patients were removed from study if LVEF declined 20 or more EF units from baseline to a final value of greater than or equal to 50 % , or by 10 or more units to a final value of less than 50 % , or onset of clinical congestive heart failure ( CHF ) . RESULTS Median age was 54 years in both treatment groups . All relevant prognostic factors were balanced , with the exception that there were significantly more progesterone receptor positive patients in the doxorubicin-treated group . Protocol-defined cardiotoxicity was observed in 13 % of TLC D-99 patients ( including 2 cases of CHF ) compared to 29 % of doxorubicin patients ( including 9 cases of CHF ) . Median cumulative doxorubicin dose at onset of cardiotoxicity was 785 mg/m ( 2 ) for TLC D-99 versus 570 mg/m ( 2 ) for doxorubicin ( P = 0.0001 ; hazard ratio , 3.56 ) . The overall response rate was 26 % in both treatment groups . The median TTP was 2.9 months on TLC D-99 versus 3.1 months on doxorubicin . Median survival was 16 versus 20 months with a nonsignificant trend in favor of doxorubicin ( P = 0.09 ) . Clinical toxicities , commonly associated with doxorubicin , appeared less common with TLC D-99 , although the difference was not statistically significant .

METHODS It is a prospective , randomized , double blind , placebo controlled multinational multicenter trial . Men between 55 and 65 years of age with a gastric cancer phenotype of Helicobacter pylori gastritis are randomized to receive a 7 day course of omeprazole 2 X 20mg , clarithromycin 2 X 500mg , and amoxicillin 2 X 1g for 7 days , or omeprazole 2 X 20mg plus placebo . Follow-up endoscopy is scheduled 3 months after therapy , and thereafter in one-year intervals . Predefined study endpoints are gastric cancer , precancerous lesions ( dysplasia , adenoma ) , other cancers , and death . RESULTS Since March 1998 , 1524 target patients have been screened , 279 patients ( 18.3 % ) had a corpus dominant type of H. pylori gastritis , and 167 of those were randomized ( 58.8 % ) . In the active treatment group ( r = 86 ) , H. pylori infection infection was cured in 88.9 % of patients .

AIM To compare a limited palmar incision for carpal tunnel release ( CTR ) with a traditional open technique , which is still considered the gold standard . METHODS Seventy-two patients with a carpal tunnel syndrome were individually randomized into the trial ( limited incision CTR ) ( n=36 ) and control group ( traditional technique CTR ) ( n=36 ) . In the trial group , skin incision parallel to the thenar crease was made up to 2.5 cm in length , under an operating microscope and endoscopic transillumination . Skin incision in the control group began at the distal border of the carpal ligament , followed the longitudinal crease of the palm , and crossed the base of the palm in a zigzag fashion . Three months after surgery , the patients were asked about symptomatic relief and intervals between the operation and return to their daily activities and work , and examined for scar tenderness and esthetic outcome . Distal motor latency , conduction velocity , scar length , scar width , and operation time were measured . RESULTS There were no differences between the two groups in symptomatic relief and electrophysiological parameters . Intervals between the operation and return to daily activities ( median 5 days , range 2-15 ) were shorter in the trial group than in the control group ( median 10 days , range 2-21 ; p < 0.001 ) , as well as the intervals between the operation and return to work ( median 15 days , range 5-45 vs median 30 days , range 10-60 ; p < 0.001 ) .

BACKGROUND Recently , there has been an increase in popularity and participation in the sport of snowshoeing . While the sport has gained considerable recognition , to date there is little or no scientific research regarding training responses to snowshoeing as a form of exercise . Therefore , the purpose of this study was to determine whether snowshoe training could improve fitness measures . A further purpose was to compare responses from a snowshoe training program to a similarly designed run training program . METHODS This prospective , comparative study was conducted with healthy males and females between the ages of 19 and 24 . These subjects were recruited from the University of Vermont population and surrounding community . Following baseline measurements in VO2max , running time to exhaustion ( RTE ) , and anthropometry , 17 subjects ( 10 snowshoers and 7 runners ) participated in a six week conditioning program . Both groups exercised for 30 min at 75-85 % age predicted maximum heart rate , 3-4 times per week , for a total of 18 sessions . RESULTS VO2max improved significantly in both running and snowshoeing groups , 6.3 and 8.5 % , respectively . Run time to exhaustion also improved significantly in both groups , 23.3 and 33.5 % , respectively . There were no changes in anthropometry for either group . With the exception of RTE , there were no statistically significant differences between groups in any other measurements at baseline .

BACKGROUND A 10-J energy safety margin has traditionally been used in programming implantable cardioverter defibrillators ( ICDs ) . The Low Energy Safety Study ( LESS ) tests the hypothesis that programming shocks to lower energy margins is safe and effective . METHODS Patients with standard ICD indications undergo defibrillation threshold testing ( DFT ) at the time of ICD implant , with reconfirmation of lowest successful energy twice ( DFT++ ) . Patients are randomized to 2 groups : the first has the initial 2 shocks for ventricular fibrillation conversion programmed at 2 energy steps above DFT++ ( typically 4-6 J , maximum 10 J ) with subsequent shocks at maximum energy , and the second has all shocks programmed at maximum energy . Patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years to assess shock conversion efficacy of spontaneous arrhythmias . In a subgroup of patients , there is a second randomization to energy levels of 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , or 4 steps above implant DFT++ for conversion testing of 3 induced ventricular fibrillation episodes at prehospital discharge , 3 months , and 12 months after implant . RESULTS Enrollment is complete ( 702 patients ) , but follow-up results are pending . There were no significant variations in implant indications and baseline antiarrhythmic drug use over the 3-year enrollment period , although an increase in the percentage of dual-chamber ICDs implanted occurred , with the majority ( 65 % ) of implanted ICDs being dual-chamber devices by the end of the enrollment period . CONCLUSION The results of LESS should facilitate the development of algorithms for programming ICD energy safety margins ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1772 ] ] } ]

Malignant mesothelioma is almost invariably fatal . The incidence of the disease is rising rapidly in many countries , and there is no generally accepted standard treatment for patients with unresectable disease . According to current British Thoracic Society ( BTS ) guidelines , patients should be treated with active symptom control ( ASC ) , involving ( 1 ) regular follow-up in a specialist clinic ; ( 2 ) structured assessments of physical , psychological and social problems with appropriate action ; ( 3 ) rapid involvement of additional specialists ; and ( 4 ) parallel nursing support . Although many nonrandomized studies have reported tumor responses to anticancer chemotherapy , few have studied palliation and it is not known whether chemotherapy prolongs survival or provides clinically worthwhile palliation with acceptable toxicity when given in addition to ASC . We therefore plan to conduct a multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing ( 1 ) ASC alone , ( 2 ) ASC plus mitomycin vinblastine and cisplatin ( MVP ) , and ( 3 ) ASC plus vinorelbine ( N ; Navelbine , Pierre Fabre Oncology , Winchester , UK ) .

OBJECTIVE Parameters of oxidative stress were quantitated in 50 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in uncontrolled state and after control using oral glibenclamide or gliclazide . The estimates were further compared between the two groups irrespective of drug used to evaluate the difference , if any . METHODS The study was a double blind , uncontrolled , noncrossover and randomized trial . Fifty patients of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes were divided in to two groups . Group I ( 25 patients ) received capsule A ( glibenclamide ) while Group II ( 25 patients ) received capsule B ( gliclazide ) . The parameters studied were Superoxide dismutase ( SOD ) , malonyl-dialdehyde ( MDA ) and reduced glutathione ( GSH ) . They were done at ( a ) uncontrolled stage ( FBS -- 165 +/- 16.7 mg/dl , PP -- 240 +/- 30.1 mg/dl and HbA1 -- 10.5 +/- 0.9 % in group I and FBS -- 150 +/- 15.8 mg/dl , PP -- 246 +/- 29.1 mg/dl HbA1 10.6 +/- 0.8 % in group II ) and during controlled stage at 12 weeks ( FBS -- 120 +/- 18.5 mg/dl , PP -- 180 +/- 19.1 mg/dl and HbA1 -- 8.4 +/- 0.29 % in group I and FBS -- 118 +/- 17.6 mg/dl , PP -- 176 +/- 20.1 mg/dl and HbA1 -- 8.5 +/- 0.39 % in group II patients ) . RESULTS The significantly raised levels of MDA and SOD , and decreased levels of reduced glutathione ( GSH ) during uncontrolled stage of diabetes indicated free radical stress induced lipid peroxidation . The significant fall of MDA and SOD and increased levels of GSH in blood in both groups after control revealed beneficial effects of glycemic control on oxidative stress . The levels were not normalized and stayed higher than those in controls . On intergroup comparison ; the control of diabetes with gliclazide ( group II ) showed improvement in oxidative stress ( MDA , GSH ) better ( p < 0.001 ) than glibenclamide ( group I ) . CONCLUSION Oxidative stress in uncontrolled diabetes is decreased with glycemic control . The control of diabetes with gliclazide reduced oxidative stress more than glibenclamide , indicating higher antioxidant properties of gliclazide . Normalization of oxidative stress was not achieved . Further studies are required to see long-term effect of drug therapy in combating oxidative stress after achieving acceptable control of diabetes ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2418 ] ] } ]

The only significant difference found between soy formula and human milk/formula-fed infants was the percentage of CD57 + NK T cells at 12 months ( human milk/formula > soy formula , P = 0.034 ) . There were significant differences at some time points between human milk/formula-fed and nucleotide-supplemented soy formula-fed infants in populations of lymphocytes , eosinophils , total T , helper T , naive helper , memory/effector helper , CD57 - T , and CD11b + CD8 + NK cells . None of the cell populations differed between infants fed soy formula versus soy plus nucleotides . CONCLUSIONS Infants fed this commercial soy formula demonstrated immune cell status similar to human milk/formula-fed infants , consistent with normal immune system development . The addition of nucleotides to soy formula did not significantly change specific individual immune cell populations but tended to increase numbers and percentages of T cells and decreased numbers and percentages of NK cells ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2304 ] ] } ]

PURPOSE To determine the prophylactic properties of amifostine against acute and late toxicities from radiochemotherapy in patients with head-and-neck cancer . METHODS AND MATERIALS Fifty patients were randomized to receive conventional radiotherapy ( RT ) ( 2-Gy fractions , 5 days weekly , to a total of 60-74 Gy , depending on the tumor localization and TNM classification ) and carboplatin ( 90 mg/m ( 2 ) infusion once per week before RT ) . Amifostine ( 300 mg/m ( 2 ) ) was administered in the study group only 15-30 min before RT for 6-7.5 weeks . The primary study end point was the grading of acute and late nonhematologic toxicities ( mucositis , dysphagia , xerostomia ) induced by radiochemotherapy . Secondary end points included treatment duration , hematologic toxicity , and clinical outcome . RESULTS The treatment duration was significantly shorter in the amifostine-treated group ( p = 0.013 ) , because treatment interruptions were more frequent in the control group . Acute toxicities ( mucositis and dysphagia ) were less severe in the amifostine-treated group . By Week 3 , all in the control group experienced Grade 2 mucositis compared with only 9 % in the amifostine-treated group ( p < 0.0001 ) . By Week 5 , 52.2 % of the patients in the control group experienced Grade 4 mucositis compared with 4.5 % in the amifostine-treated group ( p = 0.0006 ) . Similar results were obtained for dysphagia . At 3 months of follow-up , only 27 % of patients in the study group experienced Grade 2 xerostomia compared with 73.9 % in the control group ( p = 0.0001 ) . Eighteen months after cessation of therapy , the proportion of patients with Grade 2 xerostomia was 4.5 % vs. 30.4 % for each respective treatment group ( p = 0.047 ) . Cytoprotection with amifostine did not affect treatment outcome , with 90.9 % complete responses in the amifostine-treated group compared with 78.3 % in the control group ( p = 0.414 ) . CONCLUSION Amifostine was effective in reducing mucositis and dysphagia resulting from radiochemotherapy in patients with head-and-neck cancer . Furthermore , amifostine reduced the severity of late xerostomia , a side effect of RT with long-lasting consequences . Amifostine treatment did not affect the clinical outcome ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2382 ] ] } ]

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare laparoscopic treatment for stage I endometrial cancer with the traditional transabdominal approach . From July 1996 to July 1998 , 61 patients with clinical stage I endometrial cancer were treated at the Gynaecology Oncology Unit at the Royal North Shore of Sydney , Australia . Twenty-nine patients were treated with laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy ( LAVH ) and bilateral salpingo-oophrectomy ( BSO ) plus minus laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy ( LPLA ) , while 32 patients were treated with the traditional laparotomy and underwent total abdominal hysterectomy ( TAH ) and BSO plus minus pelvic lymphadenectomy ( PLA ) . The main outcomes studied were operative time , blood loss , blood transfusion , intraoperative complications , postoperative complications , duration of hospital stay , and number of lymph nodes obtained . In conclusion , laparoscopic treatment of endometrial cancer is safe in the hands of experienced operators with minimal intraoperative and postoperative complications . This procedure is associated with significantly less blood loss and shorter hospitalization ; however , it is associated with significantly longer operating time . Proper selection of patients for the laparoscopic procedure is the vital step in achieving the major goals of this approach ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1465 ] ] } ]

BACKGROUND The benefits of the long-term administration of oral anticoagulant therapy remain unclear in patients with lower extremity arterial bypass surgery . We studied the effect of warfarin plus aspirin therapy ( WASA ) versus aspirin therapy alone ( ASA ) on patient mortality , morbidity and bypass patency rates in a randomized clinical trial . METHODS In a multicenter , prospective , nonmasked clinical trial , 831 patients who underwent peripheral arterial bypass surgery were compared in a long-term treatment program of WASA ( target international normalized ratio of 1.4 to 2.8 ; 325 mg/day ) with ASA ( 325 mg/day ) . The primary end point was bypass patency , and mortality and morbidity were the secondary endpoints . RESULTS There were 133 deaths in the WASA group ( 31.8 % ) and 95 deaths in the ASA group ( 23.0 % ; risk ratio , 1.41 ; 95 % confidence interval , 1.09 to 1.84 ; P =.0001 ) . Major hemorrhagic events occurred more frequently in the WASA group ( WASA , n = 35 ; ASA , n = 15 ; P =.02 ) . In the prosthetic bypass group , there was no significant difference in patency rate in the 8-mm bypass subgroup , but there was a significant difference in patency rate in the 6-mm bypass subgroup ( femoral-popliteal ; 71.4 % in the WASA group versus 57.9 % in the ASA group ; P =.02 ) . In the vein bypass group , patency rate was unaffected ( 75.3 % in the WASA group versus 74.9 % in the ASA group ) . CONCLUSION The long-term administration of warfarin therapy when combined with aspirin therapy has only a few selected indications for improvement of bypass patency and is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1860 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVES So far it has not clearly been demonstrated that systematic mediastinal lymphadenectomy improves survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer . One explanation might be that in some patients an early spread of tumor cells has occurred which might not be curable by surgical means . To test this hypothesis lymph nodes of patients which were treated either by lymph node sampling or systematic lymphadenectomy were screened for micrometastatic spread of tumor cells and the influence of nodal micrometastases on the efficacy of lymphadenectomy was analyzed . METHODS Lymph nodes from patients ( n=94 ) which were included in a randomized trial of lymph node sampling ( LS , n=41 ) versus radical systematic lymphadenectomy ( LA , n=53 ) were screened by immunohistochemistry for disseminated tumor cells using the antibody Ber-Ep4 . The median observation time was longer than 5 years and follow-up data were available from all 94 patients . Kaplan-Meier curves were calculated and tested for statistical significance using the log-rank test . RESULTS Standard histopathological analysis revealed no lymph node involvement ( pN0 ) in 61 patients , pN1 disease in 13 patients and pN2 disease in 20 patients without significant differences between LA and LS with respect to T-stage , N-stage or age and sex of the patients . By immunohistochemistry a minimal nodal spread of tumor cells was detected in 21 out of 94 patients ( LS , n=10 ( 24 % ) ; LA , n=11 ( 21 % ) ) . Similar to the entire group of patients also in the subset of patients with nodal micrometastases the type of lymphadenectomy did not significantly influence the long-term survival ( P=0.27 and P=0.39 , respectively ) . In contrast , in patients with a negative immunohistochemical analysis systematic lymphadenectomy resulted in an improved overall survival ( P=0.044 ) . CONCLUSIONS Our data provide some evidence that systematic lymphadenectomy improves survival in patients without an early locoregional spread of cancer cells . As long as these patients can not be identified preoperatively all patients should undergo a systematic mediastinal lymphadenectomy ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2312 ] ] } ]

There is no information , however , regarding the effect of oral clonidine premedication on the propofol blood concentrations required for loss of consciousness , and the interaction between propofol and clonidine . We randomly administered target effect-site concentrations of propofol ranging from 0.5 to 5 . 0 microg/mL by using computer-assisted target-controlled infusion to 3 groups of healthy male patients : Control ( n = 35 ) , 2.5 microg/kg Clonidine ( n = 36 ) , and 5.0 microg/kg Clonidine ( n = 36 ) groups . Nothing was administered to the Control group . Clonidine ( 2.5 or 5.0 microg/kg ) was administered orally 90 min before the induction of anesthesia in the Clonidine groups . After equilibration between the blood and effect-site for 15 min , a verbal command to open their eyes was given two times to the patients . Arterial blood samples for analysis of the serum propofol and clonidine concentrations were taken immediately before verbal commands were given . Measured serum propofol concentrations in equilibrium with the effect-site at which 50 % of the patients did not respond to verbal commands ( EC50 for loss of consciousness ) were determined by logistic regression . The EC50 +/- SE values in the Control , 2.5 microg/kg Clonidine , and 5.0 microg/kg Clonidine groups were 2.67 +/- 0.18 , 1.31 +/- 0.12 , and 0.91 +/- 0.13 microg/mL , respectively . The EC50 in the 2.5 and 5.0 microg/kg clonidine groups was significantly smaller than that in the Control group ( P < 0.001 ) . The use of a response surface modeling analysis indicated that there was an additive interaction between measured arterial propofol and clonidine concentrations in relation to loss of consciousness .

BACKGROUND Experimental data in humans on the contribution of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers to the nitric oxide system of the renal vasculature are inconsistent . Enalapril and eprosartan , alone and in combination , were used to determine their short-term effects on the renal nitric oxide system and renal hemodynamics of human subjects with essential hypertension . METHODS Twenty male , white patients ( 27 +/- 1 years ) with mild essential hypertension ( 143 +/- 11/95 +/- 6 mm Hg ) were included in a double-blind , randomized , placebo-controlled , fourfold cross-over study with placebo , enalapril ( 20 mg/day ) , eprosartan ( 600 mg/day ) , or combination of both drugs ( 10 and 300 mg/day , respectively ) each over a one week period followed by a two-week washout phase . After each study phase the glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ) and renal plasma flow ( RPF ) were determined . Basal nitric oxide synthesis of the renal vasculature was assessed by the decrease in RPF after inhibition of nitric oxide synthase with NG-monomethyl-L-arginine ( L-NMMA ; 4.25 mg/kg ) . RESULTS After one week of therapy , the combination therapy decreased casual blood pressure by 5 +/- 2/3 +/- 1 mm Hg versus placebo ( P < 0.01 ) . Neither enalapril alone ( -2 +/- 2/1 +/- 2 mm Hg , NS vs. placebo ) nor eprosartan alone ( -1 +/- 1/0 +/- 2 mm Hg , NS vs. placebo ) had a clear-cut significant effect on casual blood pressure . In the combination phase , RPF increased by 123 +/- 36 mL/min ( P < 0.01 ) . Neither enalapril alone ( +59 +/- 46 mL/min , P = 0.21 ) nor eprosartan alone ( +113 +/- 51 mL/min , P = 0.06 ) had a clear-cut significant effect on RPF . Changes of RPF induced by treatment correlated with the L-NMMA induced decrease in RPF in the combination ( r = 0.70 , P < 0.01 ) and eprosartan phase ( r = 0.86 , P < 0.001 ) , but not in the enalapril phase ( r = -0.44 , P = 0.10 ) . Renal vascular resistance was reduced by each active treatment with the most prominent reduction in the combination phase . GFR was unaffected by any treatment . CONCLUSIONS In contrast to the effects of either substance alone , a combination of half the dose of eprosartan with half the dose of enalapril had a prominent effect on renal perfusion . The effects of eprosartan on RPF are mediated , at least in part , by an increased bioavailability of nitric oxide in the renal vasculature ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2551 ] ] } ]

BACKGROUND There is increasing evidence that dietary factors may play a role in the production , metabolism , and bioavailability of sex hormones and their impact on target tissues . The specific objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of supplementing a group of premenopausal women who were free of breast carcinoma with a dietary supplement of isoflavones ( 40 mg per day ) in producing a change in steroid hormones and menstrual cycle length . METHODS Sixty-eight consecutively recruited , premenopausal , omnivorous women of all races and ethnicities between the ages of 25 years and 55 years were admitted to the study and randomized to an experimental group supplemented with soy ( 40 mg genistein per day ) or to a control group that consumed a placebo for a 12-week period . Changes in their anthropometric , nutritional , and hormonal biomarkers from early follicular phase were analyzed at baseline and post-intervention . RESULTS Serum-free estradiol and estrone levels decreased moderately in the experimental group . Serum hormone-binding globulin levels increased in 41.4 % of women in the experimental group compared with 37.5 % of women in the placebo group . Free estradiol decreased in 53.85 % of women in the experimental group compared with 37.5 % of women in the placebo group . Estrone decreased in 55.56 % of women in the experimental group compared with 42.86 % in the placebo group .

Flavonoids , such as troxerutin , have been shown to be safe and effective agents for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency . The fixed combination between troxerutin 150 mg and carbazochrome 1.5 mg ( Fleboside ampoules ) was previously shown to have a good efficacy and safety profile in non-surgical patients with acute uncomplicated hemorrhoids . The purpose of this randomized , double-blind , placebo-controlled study was to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of the active combination in the treatment of post-hemorrhoidectomy patients . 30 patients were randomized to receive one of two treatments : troxerutin 150 mg and carbazochrome 1.5 mg , or placebo , i.m . 3 ml ampoules twice a day for five consecutive days after the surgical procedure , starting from the day of surgery . Efficacy parameters were assessed as follows : at baseline ( T1 ) , after the first administration ( T2 ; day of surgery ) , the second day after the surgical procedure ( T3 ) , and the fifth day after the surgical procedure ( T4 ) ; hemorrhoidal symptoms based on a visual analogue scale ( VAS ) : pain , discharge , bleeding , inflammation , and pruritus ; analgesic intake , if any ; time to restore a physiological defecation ; edema evaluation ( based on a four-point scale : 0 = absent ; 1 = mild ; 2 = moderate ; 3 = severe ) ; camera pictures taken at T1 and T4 ( in selected patients ) ; and blood coagulation tests . Analysis between treatment groups revealed a highly significant difference at T3 and T4 for the total VAS score ( p = 0.007 and p = 0.001 , respectively ) in favor of the active combination treatment . A statistically significant difference was also observed for bleeding and pruritus at T3 and for these two parameters and both inflammation and edema at T4 ( p < 0.001 ) in favor of the active combination group . No adverse events were reported . Neither the active combination nor placebo affected blood coagulation tests . We conclude that intramuscular administration of the fixed combination of troxerutin 150 mg and carbazochrome 1.5 mg is effective , well tolerated and superior to placebo in improving hemorrhoidal and post-surgical symptoms during the five days following surgery ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2393 ] ] } ]

PURPOSE To report data regarding the safety of intravitreous fomivirsen for treatment of cytomegalovirus ( CMV ) retinitis in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome ( AIDS ) . DESIGN Critical review of safety data from three randomized controlled clinical trials with supplemental information from an expanded drug access program . METHODS Adverse ocular events reported by clinician investigators were listed using terms modified from the COSTART dictionary . Data for two doses ( 165-microg/injection [ 35 eyes , 30 patients ] and 330-microg/injection [ 153 eyes , 120 patients ] ) and two 330-microg/injection dose schedules of different intensity were pooled to calculate incidence rates for each event . Rates were calculated as \" events/patient-year \" ( based on total cumulative reported events and duration of treatment ) for events that could recur during treatment . Rates were calculated as \" patients with events/person-year \" for the following events : retinal detachment , cataract , visual field disturbance , and retinal pigment epitheliopathy . To assess the ability to manage events , we reviewed treatments given for two events ( anterior chamber inflammation , increased intraocular pressure ) in one trial . We also report an analysis comparing the proportion of eyes that developed one or more key events to the cumulative number of injections . RESULTS Incidence rates were dose and schedule dependent ( 165 microg/injection , 4.06 events/patient-year ; 330 microg/injection , 6.58 events/patient-year [ less intense regimen ] and 8.35 events/patient-year [ more intense regimen ] ) . The most frequently reported events were anterior chamber inflammation and increased intraocular pressure . We found no evidence that the proportion of patients with events increased as the number of injections increased . CONCLUSIONS Intravitreous fomivirsen is well tolerated with an acceptable safety profile . Adverse ocular events associated with doses and schedules used clinically can be managed successfully with medical therapy ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2158 ] ] } ]
