Predictors of Atopic Disease: Cord Blood IgE and Month of Birth
Authors: S. Cronicr, N.‐I. M. Kjellman
Journal: Allergy (1986)

The cumulated incidence of atopic disease before 7 years of age was highly influenced by the cord blood IgE concentration and moderately influenced by the month of birth: obvious atopic disease was more than twice as common in children with high cord blood IgE and born in May than in children with a similar IgE and born in November (P less than 0.05). There was no similarly increased risk for atopic disease among those born in May with low cord blood IgE. Environmental factors thus seem important merely for a high risk population. The findings lend support to family planning when there is especially high genetic risk for atopic disease.

His Bundle Electrocardiography and Clinical Electrophysiology
Authors: Raymond Harris
Journal: JAMA (1975)

The His bundle catheter, in use for only about six years, together with the capillary microelectrode, now provide electrophysiologists with data that not only jar the foundations of traditional electrocardiography but also provide the previously empirical interpretation of normal and abnormal cardiac rhythms with a more solid, scientific base. This well-edited volume of 20 chapters begins with "Anatomic Basis for Impulse Generation and Atrioventricular Transmission," by Lev and Bharati, and ends with "Prognostic Values in H-V Intervals," by Narula, Gann, and Samet. Sandwiched in between are chapters on His bundle electrocardiography that summarize current uses, interpretations, limitations; anatomy and electrophysiology of cardiac conducting systems; techniques for His bundle recordings and their limitations. His catheter recordings, previously used mainly for investigative work, are now clinically useful, providing more reliable diagnostic and prognostic information about cardiac arrhythmias and conduction defects. With its help, unnecessary pacemaker implantations may be avoided. For example, symptoms
Exponent of "male menopause" censured by GMC
Authors: O. Dyer
Journal: BMJ (2002)

A London doctor who prescribed male hormones over the internet was last week censured by the General Medical Council for serious professional misconduct. Dr Malcolm Carruthers, aged 64, diagnosed male menopause in a 70 year old patient with Alzheimer's disease without ever seeing him or his records.

The wife of the patient, known as “Mr X,” was on a “constant quest” for treatment for her husband, said Richard Tyson, counsel for the GMC. She contacted the website “e-medicine” in April 2000 looking for help with her husband's dementia.

Dr Carruthers' site contained a questionnaire with …
Ultrasonography and Parathyroid Adenoma
Authors: James J. Karo
Journal: JAMA (1978)

WE REPORT the cases of three patients in whom hyperparathyroidism was strongly suspected on clinical grounds and in whom ultrasonography of the neck showed the presence of a small mass near one of the lobes of the thyroid gland, which was believed to represent a parathyroid adenoma. All three patients underwent surgery, and the diagnosis and exact location of the adenoma was confirmed. <h3>Methods</h3> The ultrasound procedures were performed with a commercially available gray-scale ultrasound unit using a 5-MHz, 6-mm diameter, nonfocused transducer. The patients were examined in the supine position, with the neck hyperextended. Multiple transverse B scans were obtained from the level of the sternal notch superiorly in 0.5-cm intervals until thyroid tissue was no longer displayed (usually at the level of the larynx). Several longitudinal scans of each side of the neck were then obtained in 0.5-cm intervals. <h3>Report of Cases</h3><h3>Case 1.—</h3> A 39-year-old man had

Journal: Hepatology (2006)

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is rare in young children. We attempted to see if immunohistochemical and mutational-analysis studies could demonstrate that deficiency of the canalicular bile acid transporter bile salt export pump (BSEP) and mutation in ABCB11 , encoding BSEP, underlay progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC)—or “neonatal hepatitis” suggesting PFIC—that was associated with HCC in young children. We studied 11 cases of pediatric HCC in the setting of PFIC or “neonatal hepatitis” suggesting PFIC. Archival liver were retrieved and immunostained for BSEP. Mutational analysis of ABCB11 was performed in leukocyte DNA from available patients and parents. Among the 11 nonrelated children studied aged 13-52 months at diagnosis of HCC, 9 (and a full sibling, with neonatal hepatitis suggesting PFIC, of a tenth from whom liver was not available) had immunohistochemical evidence of BSEP deficiency; the eleventh child did not. Mutations in ABCB11 were demonstrated in all patients with BSEP deficiency in whom leukocyte DNA could be studied (n = 7). These mutations were confirmed in the parents (n = 14). With respect to the other 3 children with BSEP deficiency, mutations in ABCB11 were demonstrated in all 5 parents in whom leukocyte DNA could be studied. Thirteen different mutations were found. In conclusion , PFIC associated with BSEP deficiency represents a previously unrecognized risk for HCC in young children. Immunohistochemical evidence of BSEP deficiency correlates well with demonstrable mutation in ABCB11 .
Re-evaluation of pneumonia requiring admission to an intensive care unit: a prospective study.
Authors: N S Dahmash, M N Chowdhury
Journal: Thorax (1994)

BACKGROUND--Appropriate treatment of severe community and hospital acquired pneumonias requiring admission to a medical intensive care unit depends on knowledge of the likely aetiological agents in any community. Little is known about the pattern and outcome of patients with such pneumonias in Saudi Arabia. METHODS--In a prospective study 113 patients with pneumonia were investigated in the medical intensive care unit at King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between September 1991 and December 1992. The diagnosis was established by microscopy and culture of sputum, blood culture, or serological examination. A standard proforma was used to collect demographic, clinical, and laboratory data. RESULTS--A microbiological diagnosis was made in 80% of the cases with a single pathogen accounting for 69% of the isolates and multiple pathogens for 11%. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most common infecting agent (16%), followed by Streptococcus pneumoniae (12%), Staphylococcus aureus (9%), and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (8%). Pneumonia due to Legionella pneumophilia was diagnosed in three patients and infection due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae in two. These five cases were identified by serological examination. Gram negative rods were the predominant pathogens in both community and hospital acquired pneumonia. The aetiology of pneumonia was not identified in 20% of cases. The overall mortality was 37%. Patients with hospital acquired pneumonia had a higher mortality than those with a community acquired pneumonia. Similarly, a high mortality was found in patients who had a serious underlying disease, abnormal mental state, diastolic blood pressure &lt; 60 mm Hg, blood urea &gt; 7 mmol/l, abnormal liver function tests, serum albumin &lt; 30 g/l, those who required mechanical ventilatory support, and those with APACHE II scores &gt; 20. CONCLUSIONS--This study highlights two major findings which differ from previous reports on the aetiology of pneumonia. Firstly, Gram negative rods were the predominant pathogens in community acquired pneumonia and secondly, M tuberculosis was an important cause of pneumonia in these patients, indicating that tuberculous pneumonia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pneumonia in Saudi Arabia.

Authors: N. A. M. Cooper, T. J. Clark, L. Middleton, L. Diwakar, P. Smith, E. Denny, T. Roberts, L. Stobert, S. Jowett, J. Daniels
Journal: BMJ (2015)

To compare the effectiveness and acceptability of outpatient polypectomy with inpatient polypectomy.Pragmatic multicentre randomised controlled non-inferiority study.Outpatient hysteroscopy clinics in 31 UK National Health Service hospitals.507 women who attended as outpatients for diagnostic hysteroscopy because of abnormal uterine bleeding and were found to have uterine polyps.Participants were randomly assigned to either outpatient uterine polypectomy under local anaesthetic or inpatient uterine polypectomy under general anaesthesia. Data were collected on women's self reported bleeding symptoms at baseline and at 6, 12, and 24 months. Data were also collected on pain and acceptability of the procedure at the time of polypectomy.The primary outcome was successful treatment, determined by the women's assessment of bleeding at six months, with a prespecified non-inferiority margin of 25%. Secondary outcomes included generic (EQ-5D) and disease specific (menorrhagia multi-attribute scale) quality of life, and feasibility and acceptability of the procedure.73% (166/228) of women in the outpatient group and 80% (168/211) in the inpatient group reported successful treatment at six months (intention to treat relative risk 0.91, 95% confidence interval 0.82 to 1.02; per protocol relative risk 0.92, 0.82 to 1.02). Failure to remove polyps was higher (19% v 7%; relative risk 2.5, 1.5 to 4.1) and acceptability of the procedure was lower (83% v 92%; 0.90, 0.84 to 0.97) in the outpatient group Quality of life did not differ significantly between the groups. Four uterine perforations, one of which necessitated bowel resection, all occurred in the inpatient group.Outpatient polypectomy was non-inferior to inpatient polypectomy. Failure to remove a uterine polyp was, however, more likely with outpatient polypectomy and acceptability of the procedure was slightly lower.International Clinical Trials Registry 65868569.
Reform of undergraduate medical teaching in the United Kingdom: Evidence base for problem based learning is growing
Authors: Jill Morrison
Journal: BMJ (2004)

EDITOR—Williams and Lau's criticism of the recent reforms in medical education is dismaying.1 Everyone involved in undergraduate medical education in the United Kingdom wants to produce doctors who are “fit for purpose.” This requires flexible learners with the core knowledge to practise safely as preregistration house officers and to build on during postgraduate training. They also need relevant skills in communicating and working with other health professionals and patients, as well as in making ethically …
BACTERIOLOGIC AND CLINICAL EXPERIENCE WITH BACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS
Authors: LOUIS M. GOMPERTZ
Journal: JAMA (1923)

Our aim was to implant<i>Bacillus acidophilus</i>in the intestine and, while maintaining it as the predominant intestinal organism, to determine what changes, if any, were noted clinically. To ascertain the bacteriologic facts, we examined the feces of every patient before treatment and then at intervals of from five to ten days. In all the cases mentioned later, the implantation of this organism was successful, and during treatment it became the predominating fecal organism, and we were able to recover live<i>Bacillus acidophilus</i>from the feces. After infancy, milk is less prominent in the diet than during infancy.<i>Bacillus acidophilus</i>gradually diminishes until in adult life it is present in very small amounts. The adult intestinal flora is determined, more or less, by the diet of the individual. The accompanying illustrations demonstrate the changes in the fecal flora after the administration of<i>B. acidophilus</i>. It has been our endeavor to
Australia rules that doctors own their notes
Authors: C Zinn
Journal: BMJ (1994)

In a landmark ruling a judge has ruled that Australian doctors have the legal right not only to refuse patients access to their medical files but also to charge them for the privilege of seeing their files. In a test case in Sydney in which a woman is suing a plastic surgeon Justice John Bryson found that the notes belonged to the doctor. “It is his legal right to keep them to himself, keep them secret, or show them to anyone he chooses and to impose conditions, such as furnishing releases or indemnities, or paying fees, if he is to allow anyone to see them,” he said.

The controversial decision by the New …
Overseas doctors pose threat in New Zealand
Authors: C Essex
Journal: BMJ (1994)

Doctors in New Zealand want a curb on the number of overseas doctors being allowed into the country to practise because of fears that local graduates will be forced to go abroad to find work. New Zealand's two medical schools say that increasing numbers of newly qualified doctors may be unable to get jobs because they are having to compete with doctors from overseas.

The dean of Auckland's School of Medicine, Professor Peter Gluckman, said: “Many of our students are unable to practise because they are being displaced by overseas doctors, who …
Experiences with Low Tracheostomy in the Burn Patient
Authors: Burton S. Epstein, Lawrence R. Rose, Carl Teplitz, John A. Moncrief
Journal: JAMA (1963)

TRACHEOSTOMY may be of value in the care of a burn patient.<sup>1</sup>If a tracheostomy is necessary it is usually done to (1) bypass edema and swelling of the glottis or soft tissue about the airway; (2) treat edema of the tracheobronchial tree and increased secretions following inhalation of irritant smoke and gases; (3) relieve the patient of retained secretions when there is dysfunction of the cough reflex, and (4) administer general anesthesia.<sup>2, 3</sup>In general, "the awareness for the need of a prophylactic tracheostomy minimizes the necessity for tracheostomy as an emergency procedure,"<sup>4</sup>thus providing enough time for a careful operation. The hazards of high tracheostomy, primarily laryngeal stenosis, have been widely discussed.<sup>5, 6</sup>Only brief mention has been made of the dangers associated with low tracheal incision.<sup>7-9</sup>At the United States Army Surgical Research Unit, a burn referral center, most of the patients
Input respiratory impedance to estimate airway hyperreactivity in children: standard method versus head generator
Authors: F Marchal, H Mazurek, M Habib, C Duvivier, J Derelle, R Peslin
Journal: European Respiratory Journal (1994)

We previously found that a significant underestimation of respiratory mechanical impedance (Zrs) at high frequency may result from the upper airway artefact in children, when pressure is directly varied at the mouth. To determine the importance of this artefact in estimating lung response to bronchomotor agents with the forced oscillation technique, input respiratory mechanical impedance was measured using 6-32 Hz pseudorandom pressure oscillations applied directly to the mouth (standard generator (SG)) and around the subject's head (head generator (HG)) in 35 children aged 2.5-13 yrs. Changes in resistance were generally larger with HG than SG. The mean +/- SEM changes in resistance of the respiratory system (Rrs) at 20 Hz induced by acetylcholine or allergen challenge were 15 +/- 4% for SG and 67 +/- 12% for HG, and changes induced by bronchodilators were -25 +/- 2% for SG, and -46 +/- 4% for HG (p &lt; 0.01). Challenge induced negative frequency dependence of Rrs with SG and positive frequency dependence with HG. There was significant increase in inertance after salbutamol with SG, but no significant change occurred with HG. With both methods, respiratory compliance decreased significantly after challenge. Computer simulations showed that the difference in change in Rrs induced by airway challenge with HG and SG could be explained by the effect of the upper airway wall impedance (Zuaw). Zuaw could also account for the change in inertance and compliance observed with SG, but not for the change in compliance with HG. The latter could be reproduced by simulating unequal distribution of mechanical time constants within the lung, increased peripheral lung resistance with compliant central airways.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Annual Review of Medicine: Selected Topics in the Clinical Sciences
Authors: Maxwell Finland
Journal: JAMA (1980)

This volume maintains the tradition of the high quality of<i>Annual Reviews</i>. Readers who look forward each year to catching up with the new and important developments in clinical medicine and to updates on controversial topics will not be disappointed. This year's volume contains 40 contributions on a wide variety of topics, some narrowly focused and others on broader aspects of pathophysiology, clinical features, and therapeutics. The largest number of contributions (11) deal with cardiovascular topics, but from four to six are concerned with renal diseases, hematology (oncology), and pulmonary, endocrine, and gastrointestinal problems. The papers vary in length from six to 32 pages, each containing from 25 to 120 references, nearly all from recently published papers in readily accessible journals. There are about 70 illustrations and 35 tables, some of which are very comprehensive and helpful. Many of the papers deal with special topics that are of current interest,
Magnetic Healing, Quackery, and the Debate about the Health Effects of Electromagnetic Fields
Authors: Roger M. Macklis
Journal: Annals of Internal Medicine (1993)

Although the biological effects of low-frequency electromagnetic radiation have been studied since the time of Paracelsus, there is still no consensus on whether these effects are physiologically significant. The recent discovery of deposits of magnetite within the human brain as well as recent, highly publicized tort litigation charging adverse effects after exposure to magnetic fields has rekindled the debate. New data suggest that electromagnetic radiation generated from power lines may lead to physiologic effects with potentially dangerous results. Whether these effects are important enough to produce major epidemiologic consequences remains to be established. The assumption of quackery that has attended this subject since the time of Mesmer's original "animal magnetism" investigations continues to hamper efforts to compile a reliable data base on the health effects of electromagnetic fields.

this purpose.If, in the future, however, such an action is construed to be a tertiary referral charge- able to the rheumatology service, the rheumatolo- gist may have little choice but to refer the patient back to the general practitioner and ask that a new referral, with its own waiting time, be made for a consultation with the orthopaedic surgeon.Although extracontractual referrals provide "a fascinating insight into the sociodynamics of referral patterns,"2 I share Dr J D Williamson's concern over the disproportionate amount of resources spent on monitoring them.'They are a complex issue.Though national debate is neces- sary to resolve many of the problems highlighted, action should be undertaken at a local level to ensure informed decision making.General prac- titioners, hospital consultants, public health physicians, managers, and patient advocates have legitimate stakes in extracontractual referrals and should participate in their management, including agreeing criteria for funding them and an appeals procedure.
