Journal: Endoscopy (1997)

A prospective, randomized study was carried out to compare the success and complication rates associated with the forward-viewing endoscope and side-viewing duodenoscope in conducting endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and needle-knife sphincterotomy in patients with a Billroth II gastrectomy.The study included 45 patients with a Billroth II gastrectomy who required ERCP and endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) for evaluation and management of pancreaticobiliary disease. The patients were randomly assigned to receive ERCP and EST with either a forward-viewing endoscope or a side-viewing duodenoscope.Cannulation of the papilla was successful in 68% (15 of 22) in the side-viewing duodenoscope group, and in 87% (20 of 23) in the forward-viewing endoscope group. Failures of cannulation occurred in seven patients in the side-viewing duodenoscope group, caused by jejunal perforation during insertion (n = 4), by a long afferent loop (n = 1), by a complaint of severe abdominal pain (n = 1), and by failure to enter the afferent loop (n = 1). In the forward-viewing endoscope group, failure occurred in three patients due to the long afferent loop (n = 2) and to an inability to cannulate despite identification of the papilla (n = 1). Sphincterotomy was successfully completed in eight of ten patients (80%) in the side-viewing duodenoscope group, and in ten of twelve patients (83%) in the forward-viewing endoscope group.For ERCP and EST in patients with Billroth II gastrectomy, the forward-viewing endoscope is as effective as the side-viewing duodenoscope, but it may be the safer of the two instruments. The forward-viewing endoscope can be recommended for ERCP and EST in patients with a Billroth II gastrectomy.

Hypercalcemia Associated with Silicone-Induced Granulomas
Authors: Gregory A. Kozeny, Anthony L. Barbato, Vinod K. Bansal, Leonard L. Vertuno, Jessie E. Hano
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (1984)

HYPERCALCEMIA occurs in a variety of chronic granulomatous diseases, such as sarcoidosis,1 2 3 4 tuberculosis,5 , 6 and berylliosis.7 Except in sarcoidosis, the mechanism for the hypercalcemia observed in these diseases is unknown. The hypercalcemia of sarcoidosis has been demonstrated to be associated with increased plasma levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol),1 2 3 4 and it is believed to be a consequence of abnormal regulation of vitamin D metabolism.2 The source of elevated calcitriol may be extrarenal3; Mason et al.8 have recently demonstrated calcitriol synthesis by sarcoid lymph-node homogenates.This report describes the occurrence of hypercalcemia associated with increased levels of plasma calcitriol in a . . .

Role of Platelet-Derived Growth Factors in the Testis
Authors: Sabrina Basciani, Stefania Mariani, Giovanni Spera, Lucio Gnessi
Journal: Endocrine Reviews (2010)

Normal development and function of the testis are controlled by endocrine and paracrine signaling pathways. Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) are growth factors that mediate epithelial-mesenchymal interactions in various tissues during normal and abnormal processes such as embryo development, wound healing, tissue fibrosis, vascular disorders, and cancer. PDGFs and their receptors (PDGFRs) have emerged as key players in the regulation of embryonic and postnatal development of the male gonad. Cells that express PDGFs and PDGFRs are found in the testis of mammals, birds, and reptiles, and their distribution, regulation, and function vary across species. Testicular PDGFs and PDGFRs appear after the process of sex determination in animals that use either genetic sex determination or environmental sex determination. Sertoli cells are the main PDGF-producing cells during the entire period of prenatal and postnatal testis development. Fetal Leydig cells and their precursors, adult Leydig cells and their stem cell precursors, peritubular myoid cells, cells of the blood vessels, and gonocytes are the testicular cell types expressing PDGFRs. Genetically targeted deletions of PDGFs, PDGFRs, PDGFR target genes or pharmacological silencing of PDGF signaling produce profound damage on the target cells that, depending on the developmental period, are under direct or indirect control of PDGF. PDGF signaling may also serve diverse functions outside of the realm of testis development, including testicular tumors. In this review, we provide a framework of the current knowledge to clarify the useful information regarding how PDGFs function in individual cells of the testis.

Normocalcemic Magnesium Deficiency Tetany
Authors: Warren E. C. Wacker
Journal: JAMA (1962)

THE ALTERED METABOLISM of magnesium in human disease was first studied in 1915, when the loss of magnesium in infantile diarrhea was measured. The magnesium deficiency tetany syndrome, defining magnesium deficiency in the adult human, has been described only very recently, however. This syndrome is virtually identical to hypocalcemie tetany, and can be differentiated from it only by chemical means. The parenteral administration of magnesium sulfate promptly and completely reverses the symptoms, signs, and chemical changes of the magnesium deficiency tetany syndrome of patients afflicted with this disease.  In each instance the syndrome has developed subsequent both to a severe dietary inadequacy of magnesium and one or more of the following additional factors, which either promoted the loss or prevented the absorption of this ion: (1) excessive loss of magnesium from the gastrointestinal tract either by persistent vomiting or by the removal of intestinal secretions by mechanical suction, (2) intestinal
On the Subject of Handling Hostility in Therapy
Authors: Juan J. Formento
Journal: Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics (1980)

This paper focuses on the subject matter of handling repressed or expressed hostility within the context of the psycho therapeutic situation. The emphasis is on the importance of permitting the patient to express hostility, and/or help him become aware of the fact that he is repressing it. To achieve this insight on the patient's part, the therapist has to be aware of his own countertransference reactions and has to maintain an objective attitude at all times. Some difficulties in attaining this attitude are explored. Brief vignettes from the author's and others' experience are given.
Implications of the “initial brain” concept for brain evolution in Cetacea
Authors: Ilya I. Glezer, Myron S. Jacobs, Peter J. Morgane
Journal: Behavioral and Brain Sciences (1988)

Abstract We review the evidence for the concept of the “initial” or prototype brain. We outline four possible modes of brain evolution suggested by our new findings on the evolutionary status of the dolphin brain. The four modes involve various forms of deviation from and conformity to the hypothesized initial brain type. These include examples of conservative evolution, progressive evolution, and combinations of the two in which features of one or the other become dominant. The four types of neocortical organization in extant mammals may be the result of selective pressures on sensory/motor systems resulting in divergent patterns of brain phylogenesis. A modular “modification/multiplication” hypothesis is proposed as a mechanism of neocortical evolution in eutherians. Representative models of the initial ancestral group of mammals include not only extant basal Insectivora but also Chiroptera; we have found that dolphins and large whales have also retained many features of the archetypal or initial brain. This group evolved from the initial mammalian stock and returned to the aquatic environment some 50 million years ago. This unique experiment of nature shows the effects of radical changes in environment on brain-body adaptations and specializations. Although the dolphin brain has certain quantitative characteristics of the evolutionary changes seen in the higher terrestrial mammals, it has also retained many of the conservative structural features of the initial brain. Its neocortical organization is accordingly different, largely in a quantitative sense, from that of terrestrial models of the initial brain such as the hedgehog.

Restless Arms Syndrome
Authors: Alan T. Webb
Journal: JAMA (1976)

To the Editor.—  In a recent editorial (235:2224, 1976), current knowledge of the restless legs syndrome is summarized. I wish to report briefly a case in which the arms were involved in this bizarre condition.  Report of a Case.—  A 23-year-old man had become a paraplegic from an injury to the spinal cord when struck by a falling tree about six months before the onset of symptoms. Though paralysis was complete below the fourth thoracic vertebra, there was persistent paresthesia in his legs. The patient was in a hospital undergoing rehabilitation when the gradual onset of an urge to move the arms in an aimless manner was noted only at night. This urge did not occur with any degree of regularity, nor did it relate to the type or intensity of physical activity or fatigue. It did not relate to any emotional state of depression or anxiety.  The movements were not

PRE-ERYTHROCYTIC STAGE OF P. FALCIPARUM BRDJN not be possible accurately to date the forms younger than the fully developed schizonts ready to rupture.In all the younger forms the nuclei were larger but much less numerous and the cytoplasm more abundant, the staining reactions remaining the same.The schizonts, which were ovoid or bluntly lobose in shape, were not quite so large as in the previous stage, but a large example would measure about 50 A by 36 ,u in the long and short diameters.This would probably represent a late fifth-day form.Porms 92 Hours Old.-The schizonts were considerably smaller than the previous form, measuring about 31 tu by 26 tu in their longer and shorter diameters.They tended to be ovoid in shape, but lobose forms or forms constricted in the middle were already appearing.The blue cytoplasm was coarsely granular and the nuclei were much less numerous than in the previous stage.As in the cases of P. cynomolgi and P. vivax, there was no cellular reaction to the presence of the parasitic bodies in the liver tissue in any of the three stages described.

Community care does not increase homicide risk in UK
Authors: R. Woodman
Journal: BMJ (1999)

Fears that the British public is at increased risk from mentally ill patients as a result of care in the community are completely misplaced, according to a study of Home Office criminal homicide statistics published this week.

Researchers at the Institute of Psychiatry, London, examined the statistics for England and Wales between 1957and 1995to find out if homicide has become more frequent as psychiatric services have changed. The results showed that, far from increasing, there was a 3% annual decrease in …
Dissociation between the renal effects of angiotensin I and II in sodium-restricted normal subjects
Authors: M Krekels
Journal: Cardiovascular Research (1998)

To determine whether the effects of angiotensin I (AngI) in humans can be explained entirely by its plasmatic conversion to angiotensin II (AngII).Ten healthy male volunteers on a sodium-restricted diet were studied on two separate occasions. during which, in random order, AngI or AngII was infused in increasing doses of 0.3, 1 and 3 pmol x kg-1 x min-1. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), effective renal plasma flow (ERPF), glomerular filtration rate (GER), active plasma renin concentration (APRC), AngII, aldosterone (Aldo) and catecholamines were assessed at baseline, after each dose of AngI or AngII and 30 and 60 min after discontinuation of the AngI/AngII infusion.The rise in plasma AngII was significantly less during AngI infusion as compared to AngII infusion (P < 0.05). Changes in MAP, Aldo and GFR, however, were compatible during both infusions. In the kidney, on the other hand, the decrements in APRC and ERPF during AngII infusion exceeded those during AngI (P < 0.05). After cessation of either infusion. AngII concentrations, MAP, ERPF and Aldo returned to baseline levels within 1 h. Renin, however, was still significantly inhibited at that time (P < 0.05). Catecholamines remained virtually unchanged during all experiments.Our data show that AngI and AngII have similar effects on blood pressure and Aldo, but they differ in their renal effects. The latter may be due to a low renal capacity to convert AngI. The prolonged inhibition of renin release after cessation of the infusions may be caused by reduced renin mRNA expression or by accumulation of AngII in the kidney.
The death of the white coat?
Authors: A. Panja
Journal: BMJ (2004)

<b>Objective.</b> To design and implement a longitudinal course series focused on professional development and professional identity formation in pharmacy students at Western New England University. <b>Methods.</b> A four-year, theme-based course series was designed to sequentially and longitudinally impart the values, attributes, and characteristics of a professional pharmacist. Requirements of the course include: goal planning and reflective assignments, submission of “Best Works,” attendance at professional meetings, completion of service hours, annual completion of a Pharmacy Professionalism Instrument, attendance at Dean’s Seminar, participation in roundtable discussions, and maintenance of an electronic portfolio. Though the Professional Development course series carries no credit, these courses are progression requirements and students are assessed on a pass/fail basis. <b>Results.</b> Course pass rates in the 2015-2016 academic year for all four classes were 99% to 100%, suggesting the majority of students take professional development seriously and are achieving the intended outcomes of the courses. <b>Conclusion.</b> A professional development course series was designed and implemented in the new Doctor of Pharmacy program at Western New England University to enhance the professional identity formation of students.

THE EFFECT OF PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION OF ANTITOXIN AND TOXIN-ANTITOXIN ON SERUM REACTION
Authors: SOPHIE SPICER
Journal: JAMA (1928)

In order to determine the effect of therapeutic and immunizing doses of serum and immunizing doses of toxin-antitoxin on subsequent serum injections, a study was made of a series of 237 patients with diphtheria and scarlet fever who received antitoxin at the Willard Parker Hospital, New York. The histories were thoroughly gone into, the parents of the patients were interviewed, and information as to previous serum treatment of any kind was particularly noted. The patients were carefully followed up from the time of admission until discharge, and any serum reaction observed was taken note of. Of the 237 patients interviewed (171 with diphtheria and sixty-six with scarlet fever), 164 gave a history of never having had any serum injections; forty-five, of having had a therapeutic dose of some form of protective serum previous to the present illness, and twenty-eight of having been immunized with diphtheria toxin-antitoxin. Of the 164 patients
