Comparison of Methods for Blood Glucose Monitoring
Authors: Michael L Reeves, Sarah E Forhan, Jay S Skyler, Charles M Peterson
Journal: Diabetes Care (1981)

Seven testing methods for self-monitoring of blood glucose were compared with standard reference methods. All of the methods examined showed reasonably close correlation with the reference methods. There was a general trend toward greater absolute and percentage deviation with higher plasma glucose values. Nevertheless, for clinical purposes, accuracy is sufficient to permit use of any of the methods tested.
Incidental Detection of Atelectasis on Tc-99m MDP Bone Scans
Authors: Mustafa Yildirim, Erhan Varoglu, Hatice Uslu, Coskun Ak, Mecit Kantarci, Sahin Aslan
Journal: Clinical Nuclear Medicine (2004)

A 61-year-old man with carcinoma of the right lung was admitted because of dyspnea. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) showed right upper lobe atelectasis. A Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate (MDP) bone scan was performed to rule out metastases. Increased Tc-99m MDP soft tissue uptake was seen in the right upper hemithorax. Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy of this area was negative. Since there was no pathologic Tc-99m MIBI accumulation and no evidence of tumor on the CT scan in the right upper lobe, the increased Tc-99m MDP uptake was at the site of the atelectasis.

Teaching Physical Diagnosis— Emotions and Privileges
Authors: Rich Davis
Journal: JAMA (1973)

Although the primary purpose of any text or course in physical diagnosis is to enlighten the learner about successful methods of physical diagnosis, there should be an important, if somewhat secondary, purpose. That is to alert and educate the learner about the psychological process occurring and the emotions being stirred during a physical examination. The great majority of both texts and courses tend to ignore the emotional dimension engendered by one human physically and verbally probing another. Yet physician-patient interaction is rarely more delicately experienced, at least by the patient, than during a physical examination. All that a physician need do to refresh the intense personal significance of such an experience is to submit to it by a fellow physician. However sophisticated and educated he or she may be, there is a feeling, at times bordering on helplessness, as one submits to nakedness, cold instruments, and casual, if professional, disinterest
Increased Cancer-Related Mortality for Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Who Use Sulfonylureas or Insulin
Authors: Samantha L. Bowker, Sumit R. Majumdar, Paul Veugelers, Jeffrey A. Johnson
Journal: Diabetes Care (2006)

We thank Farooki and Schneider (1) for their comments on our recently published article (2) on diabetes treatments and cancer-related mortality. As we had indicated (2), we agree with Drs. Farooki and Schneider that additional clinical data would aid our understanding of pathophysiologic mechanisms. Clinical intervention studies may be optimal in obtaining such pathophysiologic data. However, such studies may be impractical given the large numbers of patients required …

An audit of the treatment of cancer of the oesophagus.
Authors: P M Sagar, T Gauperaa, H Sue-Ling, M J McMahon, D Johnston
Journal: Gut (1994)

The treatment of cancer of the oesophagus in The General Infirmary at Leeds between the years 1975 and 1988 was reviewed. All cases with histologically proved cancer of the oesophagus were included, data being obtained from case notes, theatre operation books, endoscopy records, pathology records, and the Yorkshire Cancer Registry. Three hundred and sixteen patients were identified. Demographic details, mode of presentation, preoperative investigations, surgical management, methods of palliation, and survival data were entered into a database. The male to female ratio was 3:2 and the median age at presentation was 69 years (range 35-96). Surgical exploration was carried out in 134 of 316 patients (42%). Resection of the tumour, whether curative or palliative, was possible in 106 of 134 patients (79%). Operative (30 day) mortality was 27%. In 22 of 134 patients (16%), only intubation of the tumour was possible, while six patients (5%) had a thoracotomy or laparotomy alone. Median survival of the 106 patients after surgical resection was 292 days (range 0-14.2 years) and seven of them (7%) were still alive five years later. Of the remaining 182 patients (58%) who were not operated upon, 36 patients (11%) had a radical course of radiotherapy with a median survival of 175 days (range 80-453) and 146 patients (46%) either had endoscopic intubation (n = 64) or received no specific treatment (n = 82) with a median survival of 106 days (1-725) and 91 days (1-358) respectively. None of the 182 patients who did not have surgical treatment was alive at five years.
Cooperative effect of biliverdin and carbon monoxide on survival of mice in immune-mediated liver injury
Authors: Gabriele Sass, Stefan Seyfried, Miguel Parreira Soares, Kenichiro Yamashita, Elzbieta Kaczmarek, Winfried L. Neuhuber, Gisa Tiegs
Journal: Hepatology (2004)

Induction of the heme-degrading enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) has been shown to be beneficial in terms of improvement of liver allograft survival and prevention of CD95-mediated apoptosis in the liver. In the present study, we investigated the effects of HO-1, and its products carbon monoxide (CO), biliverdin (BV), and iron/ferritin, in a mouse model of inflammatory liver damage inducible by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice sensitized with the hepatocyte-specific transcription inhibitor D-galactosamine (GalN). Our results show that HO-1 induction by cobalt-protoporphyrin-IX (CoPP) reduced cytokine expression, protected mice from liver injury, and prolonged survival. While in contrast to ferritin overexpression, single administration of the CO donor methylene chloride (MC) or of BV also protected mice from liver damage, only coadministration of both HO products prolonged survival and reduced the expression of cytokines, e.g., tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma). In conclusion, HO-1-induced prolongation of survival, but not the protection from liver damage, seems to be dependent on down-regulation of cytokine synthesis.

MODERN TREATMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS.
Authors: C. O. PROBST
Journal: JAMA (1905)

It would be impossible fully to present this phase of the subject in the time allotted, so I will speak only of essentials, and be as brief as possible. By modern treatment I mean the general lines of treatment now carried out in practically all closed sanatoria for tuberculosis, following after Brehmer, the leader. Closed sanatoria are those in which patients are compelled to follow a daily routine prescribed by the physician in charge. This system of treatment rests on the hygienic tripod—pure air, special diet, and rest, rest including exercise. This seems so simple as to require very little study on the part of the physician. Indeed, the danger is that the public may come to believe that there is scarcely need for a physician, once the diagnosis is made. Only recently a lady asked me to give her, by telephone, directions for the fresh-air treatment of consumption, which she wished to send to an acquaintance in another city.
Implicit and explicit knowledge: One representational medium or many?
Authors: James A. Hampton
Journal: Behavioral and Brain Sciences (1999)

In Dienes &amp; Perner's analysis, implicitly represented knowledge differs from explicitly represented knowledge only in the attribution of properties to specific events and to self-awareness of the knower. This commentary questions whether implicit knowledge should be thought of as being represented in the same conceptual vocabulary; rather, it may involve a quite different form of representation.
The Repair of Umbilical Hernia: Unvoiced Assumptions and Sex
Authors: Catherine R. Ryan
Journal: JAMA (1988)

<h3>To the Editor.</h3> —Unquestioned assumptions are the bane of medical practice and, indeed, of life. An example is found in Dr Falla's<sup>1</sup>response concerning umbilical hernia repair, in which she apparently assumes that only boys participate in "highly competitive and active sports." I suggest she watch a high school girls' basketball or volleyball game! Such assumptions are unrealistic in today's society and may result in less than optimal patient care. Similar assumptions may be age related, such as the unvoiced assumptions that older people are less mentally competent and less deserving of medical care (addressed in a recent editorial<sup>2</sup>). Others are sexual in nature, such as the assumption that virtually all patients are heterosexual. Usually, assumptions are cultural in nature and are implicit value judgments. Once they are recognized as such, their potential for harm wanes.
Lactic Acidosis and Death after the Treatment of Obesity by Fasting
Authors: Peter T. Cubberley, Sheldon A. Polster, Charles L. Schulman
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (1965)

SINCE Bloom's initial description in 19591 there have been several additional reports of the treatment of obesity by fasting.2 3 4 5 Starvation regimens have been varied, with periods of fasting lasting from two to a hundred and seventeen days. In general, results have been reported to be satisfactory although such complications as hyperuricemia, orthostatic hypotension and anemia have been reported. To our knowledge, until the present time there have been no reports of death in association with therapeutic starvation.The case of an extremely obese diabetic patient who acquired lactic acidosis while fasting and who subsequently died is described.Case ReportMrs. . . .
Synthesis, potential anticonvulsant and antidepressant effects of 2-(5-methyl-2,3-dioxoindolin-1-yl)acetamide derivatives
Authors: Xinghua Zhen, Zhou Peng, Shuilian Zhao, Yan Han, Qinghao Jin, Liping Guan
Journal: Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B (2015)

A new series of 2-(5-methyl-2,3-dioxoindolin-1-yl)acetamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their anticonvulsive activity in a pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-evoked convulsion model and antidepressant activity in the forced swimming test (FST) model. Eleven synthesized compounds were found to be protective against PTZ-induced seizure and showed the anticonvulsant activity. In addition, four of the synthesized compounds (4l, 4m, 4p and 4q) showed potent antidepressant-like activity. Among these compounds, compound 4l was found to have the most potent antidepressant-like activity, and significantly reduced the duration of immobility time at 100 mg/kg dose level when compared to the vehicle control, which is similar to the reference drug fluoxetine.

Acute Dysentery Syndrome Caused By Vibrio Fetus
Authors: Adrian D. Mandel
Journal: JAMA (1963)

VENEREALLY TRANSMITTED vibrio infections of cattle and sheep are a major cause of contagious abortion in these animals. The causative organism,<i>Vibrio fetus</i>, has rarely been encountered in human infections; approximately fewer than 25 well documented cases have been reported. Manifestations of the disease in humans have been so varied that a definite, clinically recognizable entity has not yet become known. The epidemiology of human cases has not been clearly established. This report describes an acute dysentery syndrome in an otherwise healthy man from whose blood V<i>fetus</i>was recovered. The rapid response to tetracycline hydrochloride is considered noteworthy. The clinical, bacteriological, and epidemiological findings are discussed. <h3>Report of a Case</h3> A 45-year-old retired Air Force sergeant employed as a post-office worker, was first seen at the Dispensary, Oakland Army Terminal, complaining of fever, chills, and diarrhea. The patient stated that he had been in excellent health until two days

Journal: Circulation (1997)

Between 1981 and 1988, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a very high incidence of sudden death among young male Southeast Asians who died unexpectedly during sleep. The pattern of death has long been prevalent in Southeast Asia. We carried out a study to identify the clinical markers for patients at high risk of developing sudden unexplained death syndrome (SUDS) and long-term outcomes.We studied 27 Thai men (mean age, 39.7+/-11 years) referred because they had cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation, usually occurring at night while asleep (n=17), or were suspected to have had symptoms similar to the clinical presentation of SUDS (n=10). We performed cardiac testing, including EPS and cardiac catheterization. The patients were then followed at approximately 3-month intervals; our primary end points were death, ventricular fibrillation, or cardiac arrest. A distinct ECG abnormality divided our patients who had no structural heart disease (except 3 patients with mild left ventricular hypertrophy) into two groups: group 1 (n=16) patients had right bundle-branch block and ST-segment elevation in V1 through V3, and group 2 (n=11) had a normal ECG. Group 1 patients had well-defined electrophysiological abnormalities: group 1 had an abnormally prolonged His-Purkinje conduction time (HV interval, 63+/-11 versus 49+/-6 ms; P=.007). Group 1 had a higher incidence of inducible ventricular fibrillation (93% for group 1 versus 11% for group 2; P=.0002) and a positive signal-averaged ECG (92% for group 1 versus 11% for group 2; P=.002), which was associated with a higher incidence of ventricular fibrillation or death (P=.047). The life-table analysis showed that the group 1 patients had a much greater risk of dying suddenly (P=.05).Right bundle-branch block and precordial injury pattern in V1 through V3 is common in SUDS patients and represents an arrhythmogenic marker that identifies patients who face an inordinate risk of ventricular fibrillation or sudden death.

More Than One Execution: Who Goes First?
Authors: Michele Alexander
Journal: JAMA (1971)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> In several studies of the fear of death which used self-report attitude scales, it has been found that women have a higher fear of death than men.<sup>1</sup>This has been interpreted at its face value hitherto. However, in a recent newspaper article,<sup>2</sup>Sgt John Fiano, who worked on death row at Sing Sing for many years, is quoted as saying: Always, when there was more than one to be executed in one night, the weakest went first. The person with the strongest will goes last. In all my years at Sing Sing, women are always the last to go. They were much stronger emotionally than men. This, if a valid and reliable fact, has great importance for the interpretation of sex differences in the fear of death. It suggests that what might be happening is that men deny their fear of death when answering a
