In multiple-dose bioequivalence studies , it is possible at steady state to take repeated measurements of pharmacokinetic variables , such as area under the curve ( AUC ) and the maximum concentration ( CMAX ) of the blood concentration-time profile , within each period of a crossover design . We develop a bivariate random effects model for such a situation in a 2 x 2 crossover design using the natural log scale for AUC and CMAX that assumes no differential carryover effects and includes components for inter- and intrasubject variability with respect to both formulations .

Fourteen healthy , non-smoking , Caucasian male volunteers took part . On treatment days volunteers remained recumbent for 4 hours after drug administration , with food and fluid intake standardized over this period . Serial blood samples were drawn over a 14-hour period after drug administration . Plasma methylprednisolone concentrations were determined by high performance liquid chromatography . The geometric means of AUCi.v . and AUCtablet were 4,049 and 3,334 ng.h/ml , respectively . The absolute bioavailability of the tablet product was 82 % , which is in agreement with published data for other oral dosage forms of methylprednisolone . Volunteers displayed the expected rise in peripheral blood neutrophil count , but no other clinically relevant changes in hematology or clinical chemistry were observed .

Antibody ( IgG ) responses to mycobacterial ( BCG ; PPD ; Mycobacterium leprae soluble antigen , MLSA ) and leishmanial ( Leishmania mexicana LV4 ) antigens were measured in 208 initially PPD and leishmanin skin-test negative volunteers divided into four vaccine groups as follows : 68 received BCG plus killed promastigotes ( group A ) , 47 received BCG alone ( group B ) , 47 received killed promastigotes alone ( group C ) , and 46 formed the diluent control ( placebo , group D ) . Three vaccine doses were administered at 8-12 week intervals . Vaccinees were bled immediately prior to each vaccination , and again at 3- and 12-month follow-up . Skin tests were performed prevaccination , and again at the 3- and 12-month follow-up . Anti-BCG , anti-PPD and anti-MLSA IgG levels increased significantly in groups A and B receiving BCG . The presence of leishmanial antigen ( with BCG ) in the inoculum suppressed the IgG response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis/Mycobacterium bovis-related ( PPD and BCG ) , but not M. leprae-related ( MLSA ) -related , antigens . A small but significant increase ( relative to prevaccination level ) in response to MLSA , but not to BCG or PPD was observed in the non-BCG-vaccinated groups . The background level of response to mycobacterial and leishmanial antigens was higher in the Venezuelan vaccinees than in non-endemic ( British ) volunteers . Responses to leishmanial antigen were not enhanced in the two vaccine groups receiving killed promastigotes ( with/without BCG ) compared with the BCG alone and placebo groups . Instead , all vaccine groups showed a pattern of response consistent with either ( i ) a response to the skin-test antigen or , more likely , ( ii ) seasonal endemic exposure to leishmanial antigen . Interestingly , this endemic response to leishmanial antigen was enhanced in the vaccine groups receiving BCG , despite the fact that group B received no leishmanial antigen in the vaccine inoculum . When prevaccination IgG levels ( mean + 3 standard deviations ) were used to determine a negative cut-off , a low percentage ( < 38 % ) of vaccinees converted to responder status for either anti-mycobacterial or anti-leishmanial responses , and those who did would be classified as 'low-responder ' status compared with titres observed in severe forms of disease . Hence , although there was evidence for a background endemic response to both leishmanial and mycobacterial antigens , there was no evidence that vaccination per se led to a potentially disease exacerbatory level of TH2-associated antibody response especially with respect to the anti-leishmanial response .

The aim of this study was to compare the systemic bioactivity of low and high doses of inhaled budesonide and fluticasone propionate given by respective dry powder inhaler devices . 2 . A randomised , single blind cross-over design was used in nine healthy subjects who were given 800 micrograms day-1 of budesonide Turbohaler ( B800 ) for 1 week , followed by 1 week of 1600 micrograms day-1 ( B1600 ) , or fluticasone Diskhaler 750 micrograms day-1 ( F750 ) for 1 week followed by 1 week of 1500 micrograms day-1 ( F1500 ) . There was a 1 week washout between treatments with fluticasone or budesonide . A twice daily dosing regime was used and mouth-rinsing was employed to reduce gut bioavailability as well as to obviate local adverse effects . 3 . Parameters of hypothalmic-pituitary adrenal ( HPA ) axis activity and bone metabolism were measured at baseline ( B0/F0 ) , at the end of each week of treatment and after the 1 week washout ( F0 or B0 ) . 4 . Both fluticasone and budesonide significantly ( P < 0.05 ) attenuated the post tetracosactrin serum cortisol at low and high doses whilst early morning cortisol was unchanged . No dose-response effect was observed with either drug , and there was no significant difference between treatment with fluticasone or budesonide . 5 . Neither budesonide nor fluticasone produced significant suppression of plasma osteocalcin , although the higher doses of both drugs significantly reduced fasting urinary calcium levels .

Treatment with enalapril significantly reduced plasma angiotensin II levels and supine blood pressure compared with placebo . The percentage reductions in forearm blood flow in the infused arm , in response to the maximum dose of angiotensin II ( 50,000 fmol min-1 ) were 48.1 +/- 3.6 % at baseline , 57.5 +/- 3.6 % on placebo and 54.5 +/- 4.2 % on enalapril .

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of naltrexone , an opiate blocker , in the treatment of autism . METHOD Thirteen children with autistic disorder , aged 3.4 to 8.3 years ( mean 5.4 ) , were studied in home , school , and outpatient laboratory . Naltrexone , 1.0 mg/kg , was given daily in a randomized , double-blind , placebo-controlled crossover design . Dependent measures included parent and teacher Clinical Global Impressions ( CGI ) , Conners Rating Scales , and Naltrexone Side-Effects ( SE ) Rating Scale ; laboratory CGI , movement actometer readings , and a 10-second interval recording system analysis of on-task , communication initiations , disruptive behavior , and self-stimulation . RESULTS Eight of 13 subjects improved in two or more settings . Changes in parent measures ( CGI , Conners Impulsivity-Hyperactivity Factor , and SE-Restlessness ) and Teacher CGI achieved statistical significance . Teacher SE-Restlessness and initiation of communication in the clinic showed a trend toward improvement . Actometer readings improved in two children who were very active at baseline . Adverse side effects were behavioral , mild , and transient . Administering the bitter tablet was a challenge .

To determine the effect of two levels of educational intervention on benzodiazepine-prescribing behavior in an elderly population in a controlled prepaid group practice ( PPGP ) setting , we designed a prospective controlled trial , with six-month follow-up . Our setting was a 270,000 member group-model PPGP in Colorado , from 1990 to 1991 . Participants included 91 physicians , 62 men and 29 women ; median age was 38.7 years . Group 1 received a one-on-one educational presentation by a clinical pharmacist , written educational materials , a brief follow-up visit , and feedback with recommendations . Group 2 received only a face-to-face presentation , given to departmental groups , as well as the same written educational materials used in group 1 . Controls received no intervention . Our primary outcome measure was the benzodiazepine \" on/off \" status of the elderly PPGP members . The secondary outcome measure was the median change ( preintervention minus postintervention ) in a standardized amount of benzodiazepines prescribed per physician . Logistic regression analysis failed to show a significant effect on postintervention benzodiazepine on/off status between study groups , when controlling for preintervention on/off status , PPGP-member age , PPGP-member gender , and all possible interactions . Analysis of variance failed to demonstrate an effect of either intervention on the median change in standardized amount of benzodiazepines prescribed per physician , with groups 1 , 2 , and controls yielding values of -278 ( range : -4,137 , 2,844 ) , -330 ( -1,531 , 1,358 ) , and -541 ( range : -3,716 , 2,185 ) , respectively .

Warfarin is an established treatment for prevention of ischaemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation , but the value of this agent relative to aspirin in unclear . In the first Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation ( SPAF-I ) study , direct comparison of warfarin with aspirin was limited by the small number of thromboembolic events . SPAF-II aims to address this issue and also to assess the differential effects of the two treatments according to age . We compared warfarin ( prothrombin time ratio 1.3-1.8 , international normalised ratio 2.0-4.5 ) with aspirin 325 mg daily for prevention of ischaemic stroke and systemic embolism ( primary events ) in two parallel randomised trials involving 715 patients aged 75 years or less and 385 patients older than 75 ; we sought reductions in the absolute rate of primary events by warfarin compared with aspirin of 2 % per year and 4 % per year , respectively . In the younger patients , warfarin decreased the absolute rate of primary events by 0.7 % per year ( 95 % CI-0.4 to 1.7 ) . The primary event rate per year was 1.3 % with warfarin and 1.9 % with aspirin ( relative risk [ RR ] 0.67 , p = 0.24 ) . The absolute rate of primary events in low-risk younger patients ( without hypertension , recent heart failure , or previous thromboembolism ) on aspirin was 0.5 % per year ( 95 % CI 0.1 to 1.9 ) . Among older patients , warfarin decreased the absolute rate of primary events by 1.2 % per year ( 95 % CI-1.7 to 4.1 ) . The primary event rate per year was 3.6 % with warfarin and 4.8 % with aspirin ( RR 0.73 , p = 0.39 ) . In this older group , the rate of all stroke with residual deficit ( ischaemic or haemorrhagic ) was 4.3 % per year with aspirin and 4.6 % per year with warfarin ( RR 1.1 ) . Warfarin may be more effective than aspirin for prevention of ischaemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation , but the absolute reduction in stroke rate by warfarin is small . Younger patients without risk factors had a low rate of stroke when treated with aspirin .

Since no significant differences were found between AD patients and age-matched controls with regard to the fraction of CD45RA+ or CD45RO+ CD4+ T cells nor the ability of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to produce IL-2 or IL-4 , it is unlikely that the difference in DEX sensitivity is due to a changed lymphokine profile or a changed composition of the CD4+ T cell population .

We conducted a randomized , double-blind , placebo-controlled study to determine if intravenous aminophylline adds any benefit to high doses of inhaled salbutamol in patients who presented for treatment of acute asthma . We studied 94 patients ( mean age , 35.6 +/- 11.2 years ) with moderate to severe acute asthma . All patients received therapy with salbutamol delivered with metered-dose inhaler ( MDI ) into a spacer device ( Volumatic ) in four puffs ( 400 micrograms ) at 10-min interval , and intravenous hydrocortisone ( 500 mg ) . Patients were randomly assigned to receive either a loading dose of intravenous aminophylline followed by a routine infusion ( n = 45 ) or an equal volume of placebo as a loading dose and infusion ( n = 49 ) . The two groups showed no differences in measurements of peak expiratory flow , FEV1 , and FVC at baseline and at the end of treatment . However , the patients treated with aminophylline had significantly more adverse effects ( p < 0.05 ) . There were no differences in the final mean dose of salbutamol ( 6.3 +/- 44.5 mg for the placebo group and 5.8 +/- 4.2 mg for the aminophylline group ) , hospital admission rate ( 10.2 percent for the placebo group and 9.0 percent for the aminophylline group ) , and mean duration of Emergency Department treatment ( 2.5 +/- 1.83 h for the placebo group and 2.37 +/- 1.75 h for the aminophylline group ) . The results were similar when the patients were divided in accord with the degree of respiratory obstruction ( baseline FEV1 < 30 percent of predicted ) and theophylline level at 30 min of treatment ( placebo group patients with theophylline level < 10 mg/L vs aminophylline group patients with theophylline level > or = 10 mg/L ) .

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of interferon gamma in reducing infection and death in patients sustaining severe injury . DESIGN Multicenter , randomized , double-blind , placebo-controlled trial with observation for 60 days and until discharge for patients with major infection on day 60 . SETTING Nine university-affiliated level 1 trauma centers . PATIENTS Four hundred sixteen patients with severe injuries , assessed by Injury Severity Score and degree of contamination .

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Incidence of major infection , death related to infection , and death . RESULTS Infection rates were similar in both treatment groups ; however , patients treated with interferon gamma experienced fewer deaths related to infection ( seven [ 3 % ] vs 18 [ 9 % ] ; P = .008 ) and fewer overall deaths ( 21 [ 10 % ] vs 30 [ 14 % ] ; P = .17 ) .

OBJECTIVE Primary prophylaxis against Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia ( PCP ) for patients with HIV infection has been recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . We evaluated alternatives to routine primary PCP prophylaxis with aerosolized pentamidine . METHODS A total of 121 HIV-infected patients with CD4+ cell counts < or = 200 x 10 ( 6 ) /l or an AIDS diagnosis were enrolled in a controlled study of aerosolized pentamidine as primary PCP prophylaxis . Patients were randomly assigned to treatment ( n = 61 ) with aerosolized pentamidine once every month or to no treatment ( n = 60 ) . Patients were evaluated for PCP , mortality , morbidity and progression of HIV disease . Morbidity was estimated from the number of days patients were unable to work due to illness , number of days hospitalized and AIDS events . RESULTS Baseline characteristics were similar in the treatment and control groups and mean CD4+ cell counts were 116 and 107 x 10 ( 6 ) /l , respectively . Eight incidents of PCP and 19 deaths were observed in the treatment group during a median follow-up of 16.4 months ( range , 2.3-32.4 months ) . Nineteen incidents of PCP and 13 deaths , of which one was related to an acute episode of PCP , were noted in the control group . Median follow-up of controls was 18.5 months ( range , 3.1-32.9 months ) . Patients in the treatment group were unable to work 19 % of the observation time and were hospitalized for 4.3 % of that time . Corresponding figures were 20 and 3.0 % , respectively , in the control group . CONCLUSIONS Aerosolized pentamidine had significant prophylactic efficacy , but we could not detect any major effect on mortality and morbidity . The overall mortality and morbidity were not markedly influenced by PCP . Clinical check-ups and treatment of acute PCP could be a justifiable alternative to drug prophylaxis with aerosolized pentamidine in selected patients ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2049 ] ] } ]

To examine whether it is possible to evaluate the degree of ultraviolet B ( UVB ) -induced inflammation by measuring the degree of hyperpigmentation , we investigated the relationship between UVB-induced erythema and the subsequent pigmentation quantitatively . At 24 h and 7 d after irradiation with erythemogenic doses of UVB to the backs of 16 Japanese subjects , the degree of induced erythema ( delta erythema index ) and that of pigmentation ( delta melanin index ) were examined by an image analytic method using a videomicroscope interfaced with a computer . The relationship between two indices was linear in each subject , and the correlation coefficient was 0.83 when evaluated using whole data . The slope of the regression line for the delta melanin index against delta erythema index tended to become steeper as non-irradiated skin color became darker ( r = 0.63 ) , suggesting that more efficient melanogenesis takes place after the same level of inflammation in the subject with darker skin . Both erythema and hyperpigmentation were suppressed significantly and in a parallel manner by corticosteroids and indomethacin applied topically immediately after UVB irradiation . These results imply that the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation correlates closely with the severity of the prior inflammation and that chemical mediators released in the inflammatory process have considerable influence on the melanogenesis .

OBJECTIVE To analyze clinical , radiological , and drug ( disease modifying antirheumatic drug , DMARD ) dependent factors influencing bone turnover in patients with rheumatoid arthritis ( RA ) . METHODS We investigated in a one-year double blind randomized study comparing intramuscular ( im ) gold with im methotrexate ( MTX ) , whether the variation of inflammatory activity or functional capacity , the ascending anatomic stage , or DMARD treatments have an influence on bone formation ( osteocalcin ) in patients with RA . RESULTS Patients ( n = 48 ) enrolled at the beginning of our study had significantly increased osteocalcin levels ( 3.45 +/- 0.93 -- > 4.42 +/- 1.39 ng/ml p < 0.02 ) after one year if inflammatory activity decreased ( > or = 1 SD : erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( ESR ) 26.4 mm/h , C-reactive protein ( CRP ) 3.8 mg/dl ) . We found a significant negative correlation of the one-year CRP- ( r = -0.44 , p < 0.001 ) or ESR differences ( r = -0.45 , p < 0.001 ) with the corresponding osteocalcin differences . This was also evident if these patients were pooled with 15 patients excluded from the double blind study as already receiving DMARD treatment ( n = 63 ; p < 0.01 ) . Patients with impaired functional capacity also had significantly reduced osteocalcin levels ( p < 0.01 ) . In both cases , alkaline phosphatase showed no significant differences . CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that osteocalcin , a useful followup variable of bone turnover , is changed significantly ( p < 0.02 ) in patients with RA regarding inflammatory activity and functional capacity . In contrast to alkaline phosphatase , a fall in inflammatory activity stimulated and impairment of functional capacity significantly decreased osteocalcin levels in patients with RA ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1858 ] ] } ]

The final results . PURPOSE High-dose rate ( HDR ) remote afterloading intracavitary therapy has been recognized as an effective and safe treatment modality for carcinoma of the uterine cervix . Since 1983 , a prospective randomized study was started in order to investigate the more advantageous treatment schedule with keeping the local control rate . This paper reports the final results in terms of survival , local control and complications . PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 1983 and February 1989 , a total of 165 patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix was entered in a prospective randomized study concerning the point A dose of HDR therapy ( 6 Gy/fraction vs 7.5 Gy/fraction ) and external irradiation dose at Department of Radiation Therapy , The Center for Adult Diseases , Osaka . UICC [ 20 ] stage distribution of patients was as follows : stage IA = 4 , stage IB = 33 , stage IIA = 18 , stage IIB = 38 , stage III = 57 , stage IV = 15 . RESULTS Overall 5-year cause specific survivals were as follows : stage IA = 100 % , stage IB = 96 % , stage IIA = 92 % , stage IIB = 79 % , stage III = 57 % , stage IV = 27 % . In each stage , 5-year survival rates in groups A and B were 100 % , 93 % in stage I , 82 % and 85 % in stage II , 62 % and 52 % in stage II and 22 % and 31 % in stage IV , respectively . There were no statistically significant differences among these survival curves in each stage . Five-year local failure rates were 16 % in group A and 16 % in group B ( p = 0.9096 ) , and corresponding distant failure rates were 23 % in group A and 19 % in group B ( p = 0.2955 ) . Moderate-to-severe complications requiring treatment ( Kottmeier 's grade 2 or more ) were noted in 6 patients ( 7 % ) in group A and 6 patients ( 7 % ) in group B . All of the bladder and rectal complications needed medical treatment ( Kottmeier 's grade 2 ) . Severe complications receiving surgery were noted in 4 patients ( A : 1 ; B : 3 ) , i.e. , small intestine 3 and sigmoid colon 1 patient . Another 1 patient ( A ) was dead of ileus . CONCLUSIONS There were no statistically significant differences between 2 treatment schedules in survival rates , failure patterns and complications rates . This fact suggests that small number of fractions ( 7.5 Gy/fraction ) may be advantageous because of short duration and a low load of treatment ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2494 ] ] } ]

To study the regulation of the human immune response to hepatitis B surface antigen ( HBsAg ) we have carefully monitored the in vivo humoral and in vitro cellular immune responses to HBsAg in 50 subjects receiving four doses of hepatitis B vaccine according to a 0 , 1 , 2 , 12 month vaccination scheme . Twenty-three subjects were given a plasma-derived vaccine ( Hevac B ) and 27 received a recombinant HBsAg vaccine ( yeast-derived ; Engerix-B ) . The humoral and cellular immune responses were measured before vaccination ( day 0 ) ; 6 days after the second dose ( day 36 ) ; 6 days ( day 66 ) , 2 months ( day 120 ) and 10 months ( day 365 ) after the third dose and 1 month after the fourth dose ( day 395 ) . Based on the kinetics of the humoral immune responses , the vaccinees could be classified into fast , intermediate and slow/non-responders . Based on the magnitude of the immune response ( anti-HBs titre ) on day 395 , the vaccinees could be divided into high ( > or = 2000 U l-1 ) and low ( < or = 2000 U l-1 ) responders . A close correlation between the kinetics and the magnitude of the humoral immune response was observed . The in vivo anti-HBs response was measured using commercially available immunoradiometric assays . The in vitro cellular immune response was measured using an HBsAg-specific lymphoproliferation assay . Because of interassay variability the results were considered as dichotomous variables ( proliferation versus non-proliferation ) for further data analysis .

OBJECTIVES Because preventing disability and falls in older adults is a national priority , a randomized controlled trial was conducted to test a multicomponent intervention program . METHODS From a random sample of health maintenance organization ( HMO ) enrollees 65 years and older , 1559 ambulatory seniors were randomized to one of three groups : a nurse assessment visit and follow-up interventions targeting risk factors for disability and falls ( group 1 , n = 635 ) ; a general health promotion nurse visit ( group 2 , n = 317 ) ; and usual care ( group 3 , n = 607 ) . Data collection consisted of a baseline and two annual follow-up surveys . RESULTS After 1 year , group 1 subjects reported a significantly lower incidence of declining functional status and a significantly lower incidence of falls than group 3 subjects . Group 2 subjects had intermediate levels of most outcomes . After 2 years of follow-up , the differences narrowed . CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that a modest , one-time prevention program appeared to confer short-term health benefits on ambulatory HMO enrollees , although benefits diminished by the second year of follow-up .

Cooperative Group of Study and Treatment of Multiple Myeloma . The purpose of the study was to ascertain whether the prognostic significance of staging in multiple myeloma ( MM ) is influenced by the aggressiveness of effective induction treatment and/or by continuing or discontinuing maintenance chemotherapy . Patients with untreated stage I MM ( defined according to Durie and Salmon ) were randomised between being followed without cytostatics until the disease progressed and receiving six courses of melphalan and prednisone ( MP-P ) just after diagnosis ; stage II patients were uniformly treated with MPH-P and stage III patients were randomised between MPH-P and four courses of combination chemotherapy with Peptichemio , vincristine and prednisone ( PTC-VCR-P ) . Within each stage , responsive patients were randomised between receiving additional therapy only until maximal tumour reduction was reached ( plateau phase ) and continuing induction therapy indefinitely until relapse . With resistant , progressive or relapsing disease , patients originally treated with MPH-P for induction received combination chemotherapy and vice versa . The overall first response rate was 43.8 % ( 42.2 % in 206 stage I , II and III patients treated with MPH-P and 48.0 % in 75 stage III patients treated with combination chemotherapy , P = NS ) . Combination chemotherapy was more myelotoxic than MPH-P and , in particular , caused more non-haematological side-effects . Both the less and the more aggressive induction policies gave the same disease control . Progression of disease was statistically similar in stage I patients who were initially left untreated and in t hose who received MPH-P just after diagnosis ; median duration of first response was similar in stage III patients receiving MPH-P and in those on combination chemotherapy . In all stages , discontinuing or continuing maintenance did not alter the median duration of first response . The overall second response rate was 28.5 % ( 34.0 % to MPH-P and 25.3 % to combination chemotherapy , P = NS ) . Median survival was greater than 78 months in stage I , was 46.3 months in stage II and was 24.3 months in stage III patients , still independent of both induction and post-induction policies . In MM , the significance of staging for survival is independent of both the aggressiveness of induction and of continuing or discontinuing maintenance chemotherapy after the maximal tumor reduction has been achieved . Both MPH-P and and the association of PTC , VCR and P are effective in inducing first response and also second response in patients failing on the alternative regimen , but PTC-VCR-P causes more side effects . Thus , the overwhelming majority of patients with MM can safely be given MPH-P as first therapy , and this treatment may be delayed in early diseases ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 3012 ] ] } ]

The effects of sex , the menstrual cycle , oral contraceptives , pregnancy , and the menopause on skin perfusion in healthy women and in patients with Raynaud 's phenomenon suggest a role of female sex hormones . However , no clear relation between skin blood flow and circulating concentrations of oestrogens or progestogens has yet been found . The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of orally administered 17 beta-oestradiol and progesterone on finger skin blood flow before and during heat and cold challenge in 17 healthy normotensive women and in 12 women with Raynaud 's phenomenon . In each subject standardized finger heating ( 45 degrees C water bath , 10 min ) and cooling tests ( 15 degrees C water bath , 5 min and 20 min recovery ) were performed twice on the second ( or third ) day of two consecutive menstrual cycles . 17 beta-Oestradiol ( 9 mg ) or progesterone ( 300 mg ) were given before the second test , after a first test with placebo . Both hormonal doses resulted in ( high ) physiological concentrations . Fingertip skin temperature and laser Doppler flux were measured . There were no significant differences in the test results after placebo and after progesterone . Although values of fingertip skin temperature and laser Doppler flux after 17 beta-oestradiol tended to be higher only the precooling values in the healthy subjects reached significance : fingertip skin temperature respectively with placebo and with oestradiol ( mean ( SD ) ) : 32.7 ( 1.0 ) and 33.1 ( 0.8 ) degrees C ; laser Doppler flux with placebo and with oestradiol : 33.6 ( 11.7 ) and 42.2 ( 9.5 ) perfusion units ; both P < 0.05 ) .

Twenty healthy men , aged 18-55 years participated in a 14-day skiing tour through the Swedish mountains , carrying a pack load of 30 kg , and spending each night in self-dug igloos ( ambient temp -10 degrees to -25 degrees C ) , and were randomized to 2 food regimens having 30 or 40 energy percent of fat . Individual records were kept of all consumed food . Citrated plasma was obtained before and after 1 and 2 weeks of exercise : tPA release was assessed by a 10 min venous occlusion ( VO ) test . At baseline , daily dietary fiber intake correlated negatively with PAI-1 activity . Already after the first week of the skiing tour there were significant drops in PAI-1 activities , cholesterol and triglycerides . The tPA mass concentrations also dropped , both before and after VO , but tPA activities were unchanged , as were von Willebrand factor ( vWF ) levels . These changes were related mainly to the expenditure of energy , calculated from the food consumption , and appeared to be mediated through changed insulin sensitivity and decreased body fat mass . The energy percent of fat in the food had no differential impact . The effects receded a few weeks after cessation of the endurance exercise .

BACKGROUND Despite enthusiasm for the use of mild hypothermia during neurosurgical procedures , this therapy has not been evaluated systematically . This study examined the feasibility and safety of deliberate mild hypothermia and rewarming . METHODS Thirty patients scheduled for craniotomy were assigned to either a normothermic or mildly hypothermic group . Tympanic membrane temperature was monitored at anesthetic induction , throughout the isoflurane-fentanyl-N2O-O2 anesthetic , and for 18 h postoperatively . Normothermic patients were warmed to 36.5-37.0 degrees C after an initial temperature decrease , and hypothermic patients were cooled to 35 degrees C. In the hypothermic group temperatures were allowed to drift to 34.5 degrees C before rewarming was initiated . Water blankets and convective heating devices were used to cool and rewarm . RESULTS The minimum temperature achieved by the hypothermic group was 34.3 +/- 0.4 degrees C. Cooling occurred at a rate of 1.0 +/- 0.4 degrees C/h . Rewarming took place at a rate of 0.7 +/- 0.6 degrees C/h ( range 0.1-1.8 ) in the hypothermic group . Hypothermia did not delay emergence from anesthesia ( 20 +/- 15 min ) compared with normothermia ( 15 +/- 15 min , P = .45 ) . Mean temperature upon intensive care unit admission was 35.8 +/- 1.0 degrees C for the hypothermic group and 37.1 +/- 0.5 degrees C for the normothermic group ( P < 0.0001 ) . The hypothermic patients had more postoperative shivering . From 8 to 18 h postoperatively the temperatures of the two groups were similar except for a slightly greater temperature in the hypothermic patients at 12 h ( 37.6 +/- 0.5 vs. 37.3 +/- 0.4 degrees C , P = .029 ) . CONCLUSIONS Although deliberate mild hypothermia is easily achieved intraoperatively , complete rewarming may be difficult to attain during craniotomy with current methods .

Therefore , the data of the prospective INTACT study ( International Nifedipine Trial on Antiatherosclerotic Therapy ) were reviewed . In 348 patients with moderate coronary artery disease , standardized coronary angiograms were taken 3 years apart and were quantitatively analysed . Changes in the minimal diameter of the 1063 preexisting coronary stenoses compared between both angiograms were set in relation to a number of conventional stenosis parameters at baseline . Regression analysis demonstrated a significant correlation of the changes in minimal diameter with baseline % diameter stenosis ( r = 0.30 ; P < 0.001 ) , minimal diameter ( r = -0.28 ; P < 0.001 ) and reference diameter of stenoses ( r = -0.14 ; P < 0.001 ) .

Epanolol , a selective beta 1-receptor blocker with intrinsic sympathomimetic activity , induced a fall in intraarterial pressure of 8 % at rest sitting and 11 % during 100 W bicycle exercise after the first dose of 200 mg in 12 patients with essential hypertension .

BACKGROUND The short-term effects of denopamine , an orally available beta-stimulant , on exercise capacity were studied in patients with chronic heart failure . METHODS AND RESULTS Nineteen patients entered the study . Three patients had ischemic heart disease , 13 had dilated cardiomyopathy , and three had valvular disease ; 16 patients were in New York Heart Association class II , and three patients were in New York Heart Association class III . Symptom-limited exercise testing ( ramp protocol ) on a bicycle ergometer with gas exchange analysis was conducted 1 hour after oral administration of either 20 mg denopamine or placebo . Drug administration sequence was randomly assigned in a double-blind crossover method , with 1 week between drugs . Peak VO2 was 20.4 +/- 3.2 and 21.2 +/- 3.1 ml/min/kg , respectively , for those administered the placebo and the drug , and anaerobic threshold was 13.1 +/- 2.1 and 14.0 +/- 2.0 ml/min/kg . There was a significant increase in peak VO2 ( p < 0.05 ) and anaerobic threshold ( p < 0.01 ) with denopamine , whereas no significant change was observed in peak work rate or exercise time . Denopamine increased heart rate in patients with atrial fibrillation but had little effect on heart rate in patients with sinus rhythm . CONCLUSION Data obtained from gas exchange analysis are more sensitive and potentially more useful in the detection of short-term changes in exercise capacity than data obtained from either exercise time or peak work rate , indexes that are commonly used to assess drug therapy . Patients with mild-to-moderate heart failure with sinus rhythm , but not those with atrial fibrillation because of its frequent induction of tachycardia , may be good candidates for denopamine therapy ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1912 ] ] } ]

Post-stroke pathological crying is a distressing condition in which episodes occur in response to minor stimuli without associated mood changes . There is preliminary evidence of disturbed serotoninergic neurotransmission in such cases . We investigated the effect of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor citalopram on uncontrolled crying in stroke patients in a double-blind placebo-controlled crossover study . 16 consecutive patients ( median age 58.5 years , range 40-83 ) entered the 9-week study a median of 168 days ( range 6-913 ) post stroke and were treated with citalopram 10-20 mg daily for 3 weeks . Crying history was determined from semistructured interviews and from diaries kept by the patients . Psychiatric assessment was made with the Hamilton depression scale ( HDS ) , and unwanted effects were measured with the UKU side-effect scale . In 13 patients in whom frequency of crying could be assessed , the number of daily crying episodes decreased by at least 50 % in all cases during citalopram treatment vs 2 patients during placebo treatment ( p < 0.005 , McNemar 's test ) , the effect being rapid ( 1-3 days ) and pronounced in 11 ( 73 % ) . There was a concomitant significant decrease in depression rating from HDS 8.9 to 5.3 ( p < 0.005 , Wilcoxon 's test ) .

STUDY OBJECTIVE To compare the intraoperative conditions and postoperative recovery of patients following the use of either propofol-nitrous oxide ( N2O ) or enflurane-N2O for maintenance of outpatient anesthesia . DESIGN Randomized , single-blind study . SETTING University hospital outpatient surgery center . PATIENTS 61 ASA physical status I and II , healthy female outpatients undergoing laparoscopic surgery . INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomly assigned to one of three anesthetic regimens . Group 1 ( control ) received thiopental sodium 4 mg/kg intravenously ( i.v . ) , followed by 0.5 % to 1.5 % enflurane and 67 % N2O in oxygen ( O2 ) . Group 2 received propofol 2 mg/kg i.v. , followed by 0.5 % to 1.5 % enflurane and 67 % N2O in O2 . Group 3 received propofol 2 mg/kg i.v. , followed by propofol 50 to 160 micrograms/kg/min i.v . and 67 % N2O in O2 . All patients received succinylcholine 1 mg/kg i.v . to facilitate tracheal intubation and atracurium 10 to 20 mg i.v . to provide adequate relaxation during the maintenance period . MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Recovery from anesthesia was assessed by a research nurse who was unaware of the anesthetic technique used . The mean +/- SD time to eye opening was significantly longer in the thiopental-enflurane-N2O group ( Group 1 ) than in the propofol-propofol-N2O group ( Group 3 ) ( 6.1 +/- 2.5 minutes vs. 3.5 +/- 2.8 minutes , respectively ) . In addition , the mean time to respond to verbal commands was significantly shorter in the propofol induction groups compared with the thiopental induction group . However , the use of enflurane versus propofol for maintenance of anesthesia did not significantly prolong the time from arrival in the recovery room to sitting , tolerating oral fluids , walking , or being judged \" fit for discharge . \" There were no differences among the three groups with respect to postoperative pain or analgesic requirements . Finally , patients who received enflurane for maintenance of anesthesia had a significantly higher frequency of nausea and vomiting than the propofol maintenance group . CONCLUSION Induction of anesthesia with propofol is associated with a more rapid emergence from anesthesia than induction with thiopental . Maintenance of anesthesia with enflurane did not prolong recovery compared with maintenance with propofol , but enflurane was associated with increased frequency of postoperative nausea and vomiting ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2517 ] ] } ]

[ { "id": "84139", "type": "document", "text": [ "Peripheral intravenous line survival and phlebitis prevention in patients receiving intravenous antibiotics : heparin/hydrocortisone versus in-line filters . OBJECTIVE To compare the use of in-line filtration with the addition of heparin/hydrocortisone ( hep/hc ) to the infusate for both phlebitis prevention and intravenous ( i.v . ) line survival in peripheral i.v . catheters . This study was specific for a patient group receiving prolonged courses of i.v . antibiotics . Analysis of the two endpoints for conventional short i.v . catheters ( short lines ) versus long ( 30 cm ) i.v . catheters ( long lines ) was also performed . METHODS Patients with cystic fibrosis receiving intermittent i.v . antibiotics were randomly allocated to receive their drugs either through an in-line filter using a drug-free infusate or with no filter and an infusate containing heparin 500 units and hydrocortisone 10 mg/L . Infusion sites were assessed daily . RESULTS Both the hep/hc and filter groups were similar in terms of phlebitis incidence and i.v . line survival when analyzed separately for both short and long lines . Long lines displayed markedly prolonged survival times and reduced phlebitis compared with short lines . CONCLUSIONS The effectiveness of i.v . filters in excluding the large particle load introduced by i.v . antibiotics and hence in reducing the subsequent phlebitis makes them a useful alternative to the use of hep/hc . The use of filters in this patient group may offer advantages in terms of ease of use and a possible decrease in hep/hc-related problems .

[ { "id": "84228", "type": "document", "text": [ "A controlled trial of intravenous immune globulin to reduce nosocomial infections in very-low-birth-weight infants . National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network . BACKGROUND Nosocomial infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in premature infants . As a rule , their low serum gamma globulin levels at birth subsequently decline to hypogammaglobulinemic values ; hence , prophylactic administration of intravenous immune globulin may reduce the rate of hospital-acquired infections . METHODS In this prospective , multicenter , two-phase controlled trial , 2416 infants were stratified according to birth weight ( 501 to 1000 g and 1001 to 1500 g ) and randomly assigned to an intravenous immune globulin group ( n = 1204 ) or a control group ( n = 1212 ) . Control infants were given placebo infusions during phase 1 of the study ( n = 623 ) but were not given any infusions during phase 2 ( n = 589 ) . Infants weighing 501 to 1000 g at birth were given 900 mg of immune globulin per kilogram of body weight , and infants weighing 1001 to 1500 g at birth were given a dose of 700 mg per kilogram . The immune globulin infusions were repeated every 14 days until the infants weighed 1800 g , were transferred to another center , died , or were sent home from the hospital . RESULTS Nosocomial infections of the blood , meninges , or urinary tract occurred in 439 of the 2416 infants ( 18.2 percent ) : 208 ( 17.3 percent ) in the immune globulin group and 231 ( 19.1 percent ) in the control group ( relative risk , 0.91 ; 95 percent confidence interval , 0.77 to 1.08 ) . Septicemia occurred in 15.5 percent of the immune globulin recipients and 17.2 percent of the controls . During phase 1 the rate of nosocomial infections was 13.4 percent in the immune globulin group and 17.8 percent in the control group ; the respective rates during phase 2 were 21.0 percent and 20.4 percent . The predominant organisms included gram-positive cocci ( 53.0 percent ) , gram-negative bacilli ( 22.4 percent ) , and candida species ( 16.0 percent ) . Adverse reactions were rarely observed during the infusions . Immune globulin therapy had no effect on respiratory distress syndrome , bronchopulmonary dysplasia , intracranial hemorrhage , the duration of hospitalization , or mortality . The incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis was 12.0 percent in the immune globulin group and 9.5 percent in the control group . CONCLUSIONS Prophylactic use of intravenous immune globulin failed to reduce the incidence of hospital-acquired infections in very-low-birth-weight infants ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2619 ] ] } ]

[ { "id": "84334", "type": "document", "text": [ "Antifungal prophylaxis during remission induction therapy for acute leukemia fluconazole versus intravenous amphotericin B . BACKGROUND Fungal infection is a frequent and often fatal complication in patients undergoing remission induction therapy for acute leukemia . Although candidiasis is the most common infection , mold infections are increasing in frequency . Fluconazole ( FLU ) is a new antifungal agent that has been used successfully to treat Candida infections and has modest activity against aspergillosis in animal models . Subtherapeutic doses of amphotericin B ( AMB ) have been considered effective as prophylaxis in these patients . This study was designed to compare the efficacy and toxicity of these agents as antifungal prophylaxis . METHODS Adults with acute leukemia undergoing remission induction chemotherapy randomly were assigned to receive antifungal prophylaxis with AMB ( 0.5 mg/kg three times weekly ) or FLU ( 400 mg daily ) . Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was administered as an antibacterial prophylaxis . Prophylaxis was continued until the patient achieved complete remission or was treated for 8 weeks without antileukemic response . Prophylaxis was discontinued if the patient experienced a possible or proven fungal infection or a serious toxicity . RESULTS Overall , 58 % of the 36 patients assigned to AMB successfully completed prophylaxis compared with 80 % of the 41 patients assigned to FLU ( < 0.05 ) . Proven , probable , or possible fungal infections occurred in 31 % and 17 % of the patients , respectively . The risk of discontinuing prophylaxis due to fungal infection or toxicity increased with time in the study and was significantly greater for AMB ( P = 0.02 ) . CONCLUSIONS At the dose used in this study , AMB was no more effective and was more toxic than FLU for prophylaxis of fungal infections in patients undergoing remission induction chemotherapy for acute leukemia ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1930 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy ( maintenance of remission ) , safety and tolerability of cyclosporin ( CsA ) with those of cyclophosphamide in patients with steroid-dependent or frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome ( NS ) . DESIGN Open , prospective , randomized , multicentre , controlled study for parallel groups , stratified for adults and children . The setting was in nephrological departments in Italy . SUBJECTS AND INTERVENTIONS Seventy-three patients with steroid-sensitive idiopathic NS admitted to the study were randomly assigned to cyclophosphamide ( 2.5 mg/kg/day ) for 8 weeks or CsA ( 5 mg/kg/day in adults , 6 mg/kg/day in children ) for 9 months , tapered off by 25 % every month until complete discontinuation at month 12 . Seven patients lost to follow up were not considered in the analysis . The remaining 66 patients were followed up for 3-24 months after randomization . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Relapse-free survival ; number of N.S . relapses/patient/year ; cumulative dose of prednisone/patient ; laboratory investigations ( kidney and liver functions , haematological parameters ) ; incidence of adverse events . RESULTS At month 9 , 26 of 35 CsA-treated patients were still in complete remission and a further five patients were in partial remission ; 18 of 28 cyclophosphamide-treated patients were in complete remission , and one in partial remission ( P = NS ) . No difference between adults and children was seen with either treatment . The risk of relapse was similar between frequent relapsers ( 19 of 22 ) and steroid-dependent patients ( 8 of 14 ) given CsA , and those given cyclophosphamide ( 5 of 15 and 6 of 15 ) . The mean number of relapses per year and the mean dose of prednisone per year were significantly less ( P < 0.001 ) in both groups for the experimental year than for the year before randomization . At 2 years , 25 % of the patients given CsA ( 50 % adults and 20 % children ) and 63 % of those given cyclophosphamide ( 40 % adults and 68 % children ) had not had any relapse of NS . Tolerance to the two drugs was generally good . The CsA-related side-effects were mild and disappeared after drug discontinuation .

A comparison of three procedures for general anesthesia ( propofol , halothane and midazolam/fentanyl ) in combination with catheter epidural anesthesia ] . Early mental and psychomotor recovery was studied in 67 patients undergoing colorectal surgery under continuous epidural anaesthesia and light general anaesthesia using propofol , halothane , and midazolam/fentanyl . The study was approved by the local ethics committee . All patients received epidural anaesthesia with 0.25 % bupivacaine and were then randomly allocated to one of three groups . In group I ( halothane ) , light general anaesthesia was induced with thiopental 3-5 mg/kg and maintained with halothane . The propofol group ( II ) received 2 mg/kg for induction and a mean continuous infusion of 1.7 mg/kg.h . In group III ( Mi/Fe ) , midazolam and fentanyl were used for induction and maintenance . All patients were intubated , received non-depolarising muscle relaxants , and were manually ventilated with nitrous oxide-oxygen ( 2:1.2 ) . For postoperative analgesia , 0.05 mg/kg morphine was administrated epidurally 30 min before the end of the operation ; 30 , 60 , 90 , and 120 min after arriving in the recovery room , vigilance was assessed using a modified Steward score , the Trieger test , the ability to recall a column of numbers ( KAI test ) , and symbol counting ( CI test ) . Heart rate , blood pressure , arterial oxygen saturation , and blood gases were recorded . RESULTS . The three groups were comparable with regard to age , sex , ASA classification , and duration of anaesthesia and operation ( Table 3 ) . There was no difference between the groups in performance of the recovery tests ( Figs . 2-5 ) , blood pressure , heart rate , arterial blood gas analysis ( Fig . 6 ) , or oxygen saturation . Comparing pre- and postoperative values , we found severe psychomotor and mental impairment in all groups . pCO2 was slightly elevated in all groups , but only 3 patients in the propofol group and 6 in the midazolam/fentanyl group developed hypercapnia above 50 mm Hg . Patients receiving propofol or midazolam/fentanyl had significantly less postoperative nausea and vomiting than those receiving halothane ( Table 5 ) . CONCLUSION . It is concluded that propofol offers no advantage over halothane or midazolam/fentanyl where early postoperative recovery is concerned . Intraoperatively , all three techniques provided good anaesthesia . Propofol and midazolam/fentanyl caused less postoperative nausea and vomiting than halothane anaesthesia ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2623 ] ] } ]

Early morning sleep deprivation ( patient awake from 0200 to 2200 hours ) produces a same-day antidepressant effect in approximately one-half of patients with major depression .

Recent work suggests , however , that the use of lithium with early morning sleep deprivation sustains this rapid antidepressant effect and makes it clinically useful . In a 30-day study , we compared the abilities of four different treatments ( lithium plus early morning sleep deprivation , lithium plus a control sleep deprivation procedure , and desipramine with either of the two sleep manipulations ) to induce a rapid ( next-day ) and sustained antidepressant response in 16 depressed patients . Lithium plus early morning sleep deprivation produced a quicker response than lithium with the control sleep deprivation , and the response was sustained for at least 30 days . In this design , however , lithium/early morning sleep deprivation was no faster than either of the two desipramine/sleep deprivation conditions in inducing remission .

Comparison of propofol/alfentanil/N2O anaesthesia with thiopentone/halothane/N2O anaesthesia . Simple clinical tests , like Romberg 's test or a walking test , have proved to be inadequate guidelines for safe discharge after outpatient anaesthesia . A randomised study was therefore planned to compare postural stability measured by computerised posturography in 31 oral midazolam-atropine premedicated children aged 6.9 ( s.e . 0.4 ) years who had been anaesthetised with either propofol/alfentanil/N2O or thiopentone/halothane/N2O . The sway velocity of the children was measured before premedication and 1 , 2 and 3 h after the end of anaesthesia . Results show that sway velocity had returned to baseline values 3 h after the end of anaesthesia in all children who had received propofol/alfentanil/N2O and in 12 of the 15 children who had received thiopentone/halothane/N2O . The quantified version of the Romberg test performed with eyes open or closed was not impaired after anaesthesia , compared with the control values , indicating that in children poor equilibrium is not compensated by vision .
