Serological Tests for Syphilis in Rape Cases
Authors: Charles R. Hayman
Journal: JAMA (1974)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> In answer to a request for guidelines on the management of victims of attempted or actual rape who are brought to a hospital emergency department, I stated that the examination should include "a blood sample for syphilis serological test and urine for pregnancy test" (226:1577, 1973). In a letter to the editor (227:1381, 1974), Michael I. Greenberg objected on the grounds that If a patient appears at the emergency department within hours of the alleged rape, a serological test for syphilis would be useless, as the assay is dependent upon the systemic response of the individual's immune system. This may not be manifest for up to several weeks. On the contrary, the test for syphilis is of medicolegal value in these cases, because a negative finding at the time of initial examination followed by a positive one in four to six weeks is evidence that syphilis is
Progress on smoking control in Western Australia
Authors: A W Musk, R Shean, N Walker, M Swanson
Journal: BMJ (1994)

In 1990, 20 years of campaigning by the Western Australian branch of the Australian Council on Smoking and Health succeeded in getting tobacco advertising banned in Western Australia and a fund set up to replace the sponsorship of sport by tobacco companies. The council coordinated the activities of the mainly professional medical organisations that formed its members, ensuring that messages about the dangers of tobacco were consistently presented from different angles. The campaigners also ensured that medical data were reworked for presentation to decision makers and public, invaded the corporate world, and minimised opposition by enlisting the support of sportspeople opposed to tobacco sponsorship. The council hopes now that elimination of advertising will reduce the prevalence of smoking.
Management of allergic rhinitis: a common part of practice in primary care clinics
Authors: D.‐Y. Wang, A. Chan, J. D. Smith
Journal: Allergy (2004)

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an extremely common disease worldwide and one of the top-ten reasons for a visit to primary care clinics. This study aimed to investigate the understanding of current guidelines and concepts of management for AR among general practitioners (GPs) in Singapore.A postal questionnaire was designed to survey the dispensing practice and understanding of current guidelines in the management of AR among Singapore GPs.Two hundred GPs completed the questionnaire. AR was estimated to be 10-40% of total patient visits in 50% of the primary care clinics surveyed. There was no significant difference in diagnosis and management of AR among GPs practicing solo, as a group or in polyclinics. The use of allergy tests (skin or in vitro tests) was <50%. Most physicians understood correctly the efficacy, side-effects, and cost effectiveness of first and newer generation H1-antihistamines and nasal glucocorticosteroids. However, first generation H1-antihistamines and oral/nasal decongestants are commonly used to reduce the cost of medication and to achieve quick relief from nasal obstruction.Management of allergic rhinitis is common in primary care clinics. Quick symptomatic relief with low-cost medications is a major concern for GPs in the management of AR, as it will affect a patient's compliance and perception of efficacy. However, inappropriate use of decongestants and other nonevidence-based therapies should not be recommended. Implementing the current evidence-based international guidelines for AR needs to be improved.

Meeting Highlights: Adjuvant Therapy for Breast Cancer
Authors: J. H. Glick
Journal: JNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute (1988)

Despite advances in early diagnosis and primary treatment of breast cancer with surgery, radiation therapy, or both modalities, more than one-third of newly diagnosed patients will develop recurrent or systemic disease and ultimately die.All these patients are potential candidates for some form of systemic adjuvant therapy involving the use of cytotoxic drugs and/or endocrine therapy after definitive local treatment The Third International Conference on Adjuvant Therapy of Primary Breast Cancer in St. Gallen, Switzerland, March 2-5, 1988, brought together experts from all over the world to present their most recent data and to discuss the remaining challenges that confront both clinicians and basic scientists.The data presented at the St. Gallen Conference make it imperative that the recommendations of the last National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Development Conference on the Adjuvant Therapy and Endocrine Therapy for Breast Cancer held in 1985 be updated.However, the overall conclusions from the 1985 NIH Conference (7) are important and remain valid today: Adjuvant chemotherapy and hormonal therapy are effective in the treatment of breast cancer patients with positive axillary lymph nodes.Although significant advances have been made in the past 5 years, optimal therapy has not been defined for any subset of patients.Thus all patients and their physicians are strongly encouraged to participate in controlled clinical trials.Although these were the main conclusions from the NIH Consensus Conference, these statements were overshadowed by the Consensus Panel's published guidelines for patients treated outside the context of a clinical trial (table.I).These guidelines were neither intended to be a statement of standard care nor were they intended to be immutable.

Frontiers in General Surgery
Authors: Berkeley Brandt
Journal: JAMA (1982)

This book is a collection of wellwritten reviews of current topics that represent the changing complexion of general surgical practice today. The editor, D. W. Jirsch, has selected a broad range of interesting subjects, discussed by 24 contributors who represent the specialties of oncology and radiology as well as general surgery. The topics covered are endoscopy, computed axial tomography, angiography, oncofetal antigens, adjuvant therapy, gastrointestinal (GI) tract and breast carcinoma, hyperalimentation, drug therapy in peptic ulcer disease, surgical treatment of ascites, the continent ileostomy, and supraampullary biliary obstruction. Each chapter is a well-written, free-standing review with an introduction and summary and extensive references. The tables, diagrams, and pictures are adequate for the topics covered. The editor has achieved a remarkable consistency between the chapters, which ties the book together. Each chapter is written in an easily readable style that seems well suited to the practicing clinical surgeon, but may be
Six-Month, Blinded, Multicenter Continuation Study of Ziprasidone Versus Olanzapine in Schizophrenia
Authors: George M. Simpson, Peter Weiden, Theresa Pigott, Stephen Murray, Cynthia O. Siu, Steven J. Romano
Journal: American Journal of Psychiatry (2005)

The authors' goal was to compare the efficacy and tolerability of 6 months' treatment with flexible-dose ziprasidone and olanzapine in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) scores and Clinical Global Impression (CGI) severity scores were obtained for 126 responders to a 6-week acute study of olanzapine and ziprasidone during a blinded 6-month continuation study and optional extension study.Comparable improvements in BPRS and CGI severity scores were seen with both drugs. Olanzapine produced significant increases from acute-study baseline values in weight and body mass index and within-group increases in total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and fasting insulin. Between-group differences were not significant for lipids and insulin. Mean QTc values at endpoint were 407.1 msec (baseline mean=406.0 msec) and 394.4 msec (baseline mean=399.7 msec) for ziprasidone and olanzapine, respectively. No patient had a QTc interval > or =500 msec.Ziprasidone and olanzapine had comparable long-term efficacy; olanzapine was associated with significant weight gain and metabolic alterations.

Increased Expression of Membrane-Type Matrix Metalloproteinase and Preferential Localization of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 to the Neointima of Balloon-Injured Rat Carotid Arteries
Authors: G. Mark Jenkins, Michael T. Crow, Claudio Bilato, Yehezkiel Gluzband, Wang-Seong Ryu, Zhihe Li, William Stetler-Stevenson, Cynthia Nater, Jeffrey P. Froehlich, Edward G. Lakatta, Linda Cheng
Journal: Circulation (1998)

Remodeling of the injured vascular wall is dependent on the action of several extracellular proteases. Previous studies have shown that expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) is upregulated after vascular injury and that MMP-2 is required for the migration of cultured vascular smooth muscle cells across complex extracellular matrix barriers. The present study examined changes in the expression of membrane-type metalloproteinase (MT-MMP-1), a putative regulator of MMP-2, in the tissue localization of MMP-2, and in the expression of activated and latent forms of MMP-2 and the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases, TIMP-2, in rat carotid arteries subjected to balloon catheter injury.MT-MMP-1 mRNA levels increased sixfold after 3 days of injury, coinciding with an increase in MMP-2 activation assessed by gelatin zymography. Western blotting and gelatin zymography showed an increase in MMP-2 protein levels beginning 5 to 7 days after injury; immunocytochemistry and Western blotting showed that the increase occurred preferentially in the developing neointima.These results show that increased expression of MT-MMP-1 and activation of MMP-2 occurs early after injury to the rat carotid artery and that at later times MMP-2 is preferentially localized to the developing neointima.
A theme issue by, for, and about Africa

Journal: BMJ (2005)

A theme issue by, for, and about Africa Results from Ugandan programme preventing maternal transmission of HIVEditor-Since the efficacy of antiretroviral drugs in preventing HIV transmission from mother to child was first shown, much effort has been devoted in many countries in Africa to implement sustainable regimens. [1]2][3][4] To identify potential reasons affecting uptake we evaluated the five year performance of a programme at St Francis Hospital Nsambya in Kampala, Uganda.The programme included voluntary counselling and confidential HIV testing for pregnant women and administration of antiretroviral prophylaxis in the peripartum period (zidovudine or nevirapine) for HIV positive women.Overall 24 133 women received counselling, 76% (18 384) agreed to be tested, and 2011 (10.9%) were HIV positive; 1341 (66.7% of the HIV positive women) were enrolled in the programme and received antiretroviral drugs.Acceptance of the test increased from 72.7% (9103/12 524) in 2000-2 to 79.9% (9281/11 609) in 2003-4, when a drug access programme became available in the hospital.Acceptance of the test and enrolment in the programme were lower in married or cohabitating women (test acceptance rate 72.9% (7735/10 605)) than single women (78% (860/1106)), indicating that the fear of being identified as HIV positive in the family is still a strong limiting factor and that men could have an important role.Acceptance of the test was lower in women belonging to the local tribe in Kampala (Baganda), probably because of fear of being recognised by hospital health workers.Higher education was associated with a lower prevalence of HIV and a higher enrolment in the programme, confirming that education can have a key role not only in protecting against HIV but also in allowing HIV positive people to benefit from existing measures against the spread of HIV.
The Commission Evil.

St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 28, 1898. <h3>To the Editor:</h3> —In your issue dated November 26 Dr. Robert T. Morris writes to inquire whether your editorial condemning the purchase and sale of cases is founded upon a knowledge of specific instances of this sort. I can not answer for the Journal, but can assure Dr. Morris that I know of at least a half dozen surgeons and physicians of excellent standing in the profession who in a subterranean way carry on this traffic. As an internalist I can not say that I have ever felt such competition, nor indeed do I know of any stricely medical man who pays commissions, but I have personal knowledge of a score of surgical cases in which fees have been paid or demanded. It has given me great pleasure to know that my protest against this indefensible practice, contained in a letter to the<i>N.</i>
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

Journal: Endoscopy (2009)

Clinical research in the area of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) remains highly developed, as in previous years. It is noteworthy that the ideas of evidence-based medicine have also prevailed in research concerning endoscopic techniques, therefore results from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of good quality are becoming available and provide some important data.

In 1972 I holidayed in communist Bulgaria. I remember the tanning oil that fried my skin. But my most vivid memory is of my communist father's cherry brandy fuelled rendition of the Red Flag on the bus. Back then the UK Communist party was the preserve of the private school intelligentsia, while many in the proletariat staunchly voted Tory. Despite the catchy drinking songs and natty uniforms, communism fell because its semi-religious dogma allowed its officials to rob their countries blind. So, unlike my …
Risk assessment for food allergy – the industry viewpoint
Authors: R. W. R. Crevel
Journal: Allergy (2001)

A safe food supply is a legitimate expectation of consumers, which the food industry must meet. Allergic reactions to food are recognised as a significant public health problem. Protecting allergic consumers against such reactions, while minimising the impact of food allergy on their quality of life, poses a challenge to the industry. Risk assessment is the process whereby the likelihood of an adverse event is related to exposure. Allergic reactions to foods can arise in one of three ways, which are not mutually exclusive. Firstly, a known allergen may be present in a food at a level above that at which the allergic individual reacts, secondly, an individual may react to a known or novel allergen because of sensitisation to another, cross-reactive, allergen and finally sensitisation may occur to a novel allergen, followed by reaction on subsequent exposure. A total absence of risk of reaction to an allergen implies no exposure, a situation which in most food manufacturing environments is unrealistic, and in any event would not help in the context of novel allergens. Possible approaches to risk assessment for food allergy in each of the contexts described above are examined, together with their limitations.

'Old Man in a VA Hospital': Shock and Dismay
Authors: Britt Sanford
Journal: JAMA (1990)

To the Editor.—  I usually find pieces under the rubrics of Poetry and Medicine and A Piece of My Mind interesting and refreshing. However, I thought that McKelvey's 1 contribution to the former, entitled Old Man in a VA Hospital, carried an offensive undertone. I found his verse describing the stale, dank innards of the government building haunting and reminiscent of the obscenity of the Bronx, NY, VA hospital depicted in the movie Born on the Fourth of July . But his casual, disparaging description of bored nurses anxious for three o'clock to come embarrassed me. I thought the days of prejudice and paternalism of physicians concerning nursing staff were numbered. Nurses play an important and irreplaceable role in the health care system, irrespective of the expertise, ability, and further education of physicians. As a medical student, I see these barriers falling. I see the need for physicians, nurses, and
Treatment of Uremic Pericarditis-Reply
Authors: T. J. Buselmeier
Journal: JAMA (1979)

The letter by Anthony Vaz, MD, outlines a method of directly visualizing the pericardium. It does indeed eliminate blind-needle incision, allow excellent positioning of the catheter, possibly decrease the chances of traumatic hemorrhagic effusion, and allow easy identification of loculated and adhesive compartment formation.  I do not know whether to agree to the procedure, as it adds a surgical technique that is far from simple and would tend to cause internists some delay in their deciding to proceed with the catheter placement and instillation of local steroid. In our hands, the percutaneous placement of the catheter has only minimal morbidity, and I would continue to use that method. I think Dr Vaz's technique should be evaluated in each case, however, and should certainly be used where there is suspicion of loculated and adhesive compartment formation.  Dr Vaz does not tell us how he secures the catheter within the
