A comprehensive bibliography database using a microcomputer.
Authors: D P Sellu
Journal: BMJ (1986)

A system was implemented using a commercial database management program and a microcomputer for computerising references from journals and other sources. In addition to the citation, the user can enter the address of the institution where the study was carried out, a description of the article and of the work, key words, and an abstract. References are added, edited, searched for, displayed on screen, typed on paper, or sent to a text file, using selection criteria entered by the user. When a search is performed the printout will include the abstract of each paper, similar to that obtained from larger bibliographic services. The computer also writes requests for reprints. This program now holds over 30 000 references and has been in use for over three years. Such a system is beneficial for personal study, for writing books, articles, and theses, and for use by institutions, departments, and small libraries.
Toxic Effects of Isoniazid in Tuberculosis Chemoprophylaxis
Authors: Richard B. Byrd
Journal: JAMA (1979)

One thousand patients receiving isoniazid chemoprophylaxis were prospectively followed up to assess the value of liver function monitoring plus monthly clinical evaluation. Two hundred twenty-two (22.2%) of the patients had at least one elevated SGOT level during the course of treatment, and 47 asymptomatic persons had isoniazid therapy discontinued because of consistent elevations greater than five times normal. Another 17 had symptoms in association with elevated SGOT levels, and therapy was stopped in these patients as well. No patient became seriously ill, and there were no deaths. Biochemical monitoring should be done routinely in patients receiving isoniazid chemoprophylaxis to avoid the development of irreversible hepatic reactions.
Contributions of cellular leak pathways to net NaHCO3 and NaCl absorption.
Authors: P A Preisig, R J Alpern
Journal: Journal of Clinical Investigation (1989)

Proton and formic acid permeabilities were measured in the in vivo microperfused rat proximal convoluted tubule by examining the effect on intracellular pH when [H] and/or [formic acid] were rapidly changed in the luminal or peritubular fluids. Apical and basolateral membrane H permeabilities were 0.52 +/- 0.07 and 0.67 +/- 0.18 cm/s, respectively. Using these permeabilities we calculate that proton backleak from the luminal fluid to cell does not contribute significantly to net proton secretion in the early proximal tubule, but may contribute in the late proximal tubule. Apical and basolateral membrane formic acid permeabilities measured at extracellular pH 6.62 were 4.6 +/- 0.5 X 10(-2) and 6.8 +/- 1.5 X 10(-2) cm/s, respectively. Control studies demonstrated that the formic acid permeabilities were not underestimated by either the simultaneous movement of formate into the cell or the efflux of formic acid across the opposite membrane. The measured apical membrane formic acid permeability is too small to support all of transcellular NaCl absorption in the rat by a mechanism that involves Na/H-Cl/formate transporters operating in parallel with formic acid nonionic diffusion.
Trends in Cigarette Smoking in the United States
Authors: John P. Pierce
Journal: JAMA (1989)

National trends in smoking prevalence by educational category from 1974 through 1985 show that education has replaced gender as the major sociodemographic predictor of smoking status. Smoking prevalence has declined across all educational groups but the decline has occurred five times faster among the higher educated compared with the less educated. From 1974 to 1985, smoking prevalence among persons with less than a high school diploma declined to 34.2% (0.19 percentage points per year) whereas prevalence for persons with four years or more of college education declined to 18.4% (0.91 percentage points per year). Smoking cessation activity increased across all educational groups, but the rate of increase among the higher educated was twice that of lower-educated groups. Initiation of smoking among more-educated men decreased rapidly to 15% in 1985 but leveled off by 1987. Until 1985, less-educated young females were the only group in which smoking initiation was increasing. However, in 1987 a sudden and large decline in initiation among less-educated females occurred. The apparent recent changes in initiation patterns by educational level suggest that the converging of smoking prevalence between the genders may not continue. The large and widening educational gap in smoking suggests that health promotion priorities need to be reassessed.
Prisoners in general hospitals: doctors' attitudes and practice
Authors: Helen Tuite, Katherine Browne, Desmond O'Neill
Journal: BMJ (2006)

Using a rat model of ischemic paraplegia, we examined the expression of spinal AMPA receptors and their role in mediating spasticity and rigidity. Spinal ischemia was induced by transient occlusion of the descending aorta combined with systemic hypotension. Spasticity/rigidity were identified by simultaneous measurements of peripheral muscle resistance (PMR) and electromyography (EMG) before and during ankle flexion. In addition, Hoffman reflex (H-reflex) and motor evoked potentials (MEPs) were recorded from the gastrocnemius muscle. Animals were implanted with intrathecal catheters for drug delivery and injected with the AMPA receptor antagonist NGX424 (tezampanel), glutamate receptor 1 (GluR1) antisense, or vehicle. Where intrathecal vehicle had no effect, intrathecal NGX424 produced a dose-dependent suppression of PMR [ED<sub>50</sub> of 0.44 μg (0.33–0.58)], as well as tonic and ankle flexion-evoked EMG activity. Similar suppression of MEP and H-reflex were also seen. Western blot analyses of lumbar spinal cord tissue from spastic animals showed a significant increase in GluR1 but decreased GluR2 and GluR4 proteins. Confocal and electron microscopic analyses of spinal cord sections from spastic animals revealed increased GluR1 immunoreactivity in reactive astrocytes. Selective GluR1 knockdown by intrathecal antisense treatment resulted in a potent reduction of spasticiy and rigidity and concurrent downregulation of neuronal/astrocytic GluR1 in the lumbar spinal cord. Treatment of rat astrocyte cultures with AMPA led to dose-dependent glutamate release, an effect blocked by NGX424. These data suggest that an AMPA/kainate receptor antagonist can represent a novel therapy in modulating spasticity/rigidity of spinal origin and that astrocytes may be a potential target for such treatment.
France seeks to curb health costs by fining doctors
Authors: J. Dixon
Journal: BMJ (1997)

In happier times of economic growth, most Western governments had a light touch in controlling health care costs. But as the growth of health care spending has outstripped the performance of most economies since the 1970s, health care payers have realised the need to act more firmly. They face powerful groups with an interest in resistance: health care providers, who gain from increased income.

Fortunately some tools are available to help targeting costs at health care, doctors, and patient level. At the “system” level the most effective is a limit on overall annual expenditure. Britain is a good example of this: health care spending has grown less than in almost all other Western countries since the 1970s. But while this method controls overall costs, it does little to relieve pressures on the budget. Other tools are needed, such as controlling the number of doctors; paying providers capitation fees rather than fees for service; and having primary care providers acting as gatekeepers to secondary care.

At a more micro-level are …
IVIG — A Hemolytic Culprit
Authors: Sofya Pintova, Aarti S. Bhardwaj, Louis M. Aledort
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (2012)

To the Editor: Although Yuki and Hartung mention that toxic neuropathy should be included in the differential diagnosis of the Guillain-Barré syndrome, they do not discuss the particular toxicities that should be considered.Specifically, arsenic neurotoxicity, often characterized by an ascending, symmetrical, sensorimotor neuropathy, strongly resembles the Guillain-Barré syndrome and should be specifically ruled out in all applicable cases. 1 The best specimen to test for recent arsenic exposure is a 24-hour urine collection (in a metal-free container) for arsenic and creatinine.Measuring both arsenic and creatinine allows for more accurate determination of arsenic excretion.It is important to remember that arsenic testing can be confounded by certain dietary sources (especially seafood eaten within a week of testing).When test results are in doubt, clinicians should request speciation of arsenic (i.e., analysis of organoarsenicals and inorganic species, rather than total arsenic). 2
FOREIGN BODIES IN STOMACH
Authors: J. D. Griffith
Journal: JAMA (1924)

E. F., a woman, aged 29, admitted to St. Joseph's Hospital, Aug. 25, 1923, was found on roentgen-ray examination to have foreign bodies in the stomach. On opening the abdomen, I found the stomach markedly dilated and enteroptosed. My incision through the skin had to be a large one, through the outer portion of the left rectus muscle. The stomach was completely paralyzed, so that it felt like a wet rag. On making an incision through the anterior surface parallel with the upper curvature of 3½ inches, we took out forty-three pieces of loops from spring mattress, two door hooks with staples attached, two hairpins and three or four other pieces of spring, weighing in all, about 1½ pounds. While making this extraction we had difficulty in protecting the abdomen and the incision from contamination with quantities of oatmeal and bran, which had been swallowed, although we had walled off
THE RÔLE OF DENTITION IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF RICKETS
Authors: JULIUS BLUM
Journal: JAMA (1926)

This investigation is concerned with the relationship of dentition to the mild type of rickets and is based on data that have served for studies on rickets by Hess and his co-workers during the last few years. This form of the disorder usually passes unrecognized and is prevalent among infants both of the well-to-do and of the poor, in contradistinction to the marked type, which is almost limited to the poor. Fully 75 per cent of all artificially fed and perhaps 50 per cent of all breast fed infants manifest evidences of mild rickets some time during the first two years of life. It is a problem, therefore, which should interest the general practitioner. A review of the literature of the rôle of dentition in rickets reveals surprisingly few clinical investigations and a striking paucity of data on which to base an opinion concerning this interesting aspect of a common

Efficacy and safety of rituximab in adults' warm antibody autoimmune haemolytic anemia: Retrospective analysis of 27 cases
Authors: Guillaume Bussone, Emmanuel Ribeiro, Agnès Dechartres, Jean‐François Viallard, Bernard Bonnotte, Olivier Fain, Bertrand Godeau, Marc Michel
Journal: American Journal of Hematology (2008)

Abstract To better assess the efficacy and safety of rituximab in adults' warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA), we conducted a retrospective study including 27 adults (mean age 49.7 ± 21 years) with either primary ( n = 17) or secondary ( n = 10) wAIHA. On average, the patients received 2.1 ± 1.4 treatment lines before rituximab and six had undergone splenectomy. Five patients were resistant to corticosteroids, 16 had a corticosteroid‐dependent wAIHA and six had relapsed after an initial remission. Overall, 25/27 (93%) patients achieved an initial response from rituximab (eight complete responses and 17 partial responses). During a mean follow‐up of 20.9 months after rituximab, five of the responders relapsed, three of whom were successfully retreated with rituximab. Two mild infusion‐related‐reactions occurred, one patient had a rituximab‐related severe neutropenia and one case of pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia occurred in a severely immunocompromized patient. In conclusion, rituximab seems highly effective and relatively safe in adults with steroid‐resistant or steroid‐dependent wAIHA. Am. J. Hematol. 2009. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Update in Critical Care 2005

Journal: American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (2006)

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) stopped earlier than planned because of apparent benefit, such as PROWESS (Recombinant Human Activated Protein C Worldwide Evaluation in Severe Sepsis) and the ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) Network low tidal volume study, often generate considerable excitement and affect clinical practice. Montori and coworkers (1) systematically reviewed RCTs involving interventions stopped early for benefit, finding that such trials are becoming more common, often fail to adequately report relevant information about the stopping decision, and show implausibly large treatment effects, particularly when the number of events is small. Because the decision to stop is typically driven by highly significant p value thresholds, trials that are terminated early because of apparent benefit will frequently show large treatment effects, even when the number of events is large. In the future, journals should require adequate reporting about the stopping decision. Glance through any major medical journal and you will increasingly encounter terms from the world of molecular medicine that, unless you live in that world, are unfamiliar and sometimes meaningless. A supplement to Critical Care Medicine (2) attempts to demystify these terms with a series of short articles by international experts that use extensive illustrations and diagrams to emphasize the value of these concepts in the context of the “real world” practice of critical care medicine.
Business booms at NHS Direct
Authors: R. Coombes
Journal: BMJ (2006)

NHS Direct, the nurse led telephone and internet advice service in England and Wales, has released performance figures that show business is booming—despite plans to close call centres and axe nurse adviser posts.

As a consultation closed last week on proposals to radically shake up the service, figures from NHS Direct show that calls were up 8% in July from the previous month, with advisers handling almost 560 000 health inquiries from the public.

An NHS Direct spokesman said that the figure has been released to allay fears that reorganisation …
The Little Black Book of Primary Care: The Electronic Onion

Journal: JAMA (1995)

When I first reviewed the spiral-bound version of this neat book,<sup>1</sup>I found it concise and easy to use. I could pick it up, flip open a page, and see a complete description of a disease, syndrome, or clinical topic. I weighed the Newton and<i>The Little Black Book</i>. Although they are about the same weight, the width and thickness of the Newton are less. But if you are a Newton owner, you already know the difference—you can turn on the machine and tap into the table of contents from the dot between the up and down arrows. If you need the index, it is easily accessed by tapping the index window in the corner next to the Az button. That brings you to the alphabetical list, which you can access by tapping letters on a keyboard image or by handwriting on a line. Warning— handwriting recognition is not
Biliary lipid secretion in cholesterol gallstone disease. The effect of cholecystectomy and obesity.
Authors: E A Shaffer, D M Small
Journal: Journal of Clinical Investigation (1977)

Cholesterol gallstone disease is initiated in a liver which produces abnormal bile with excess cholesterol relative to bile salts and phospholipid. To define the responsible secretory mechanism(s), the rate of biliary lipid secretion was measured by a duodenal marker perfusion technique, while the bile salt pool was simultaneously estimated by isotope dilution. Two groups of control patients expected to have normal biliary lipid composition--14 subjects without hepatobiliary disease and 6 patients with pigment gallstones, were compared to two experimental groups expected to have abnormal bile--10 nonobese patients with cholesterol gallstones and 7 obese subjects without gallstones. Both control groups had nearly identical biliary lipid secretion rates, and a corresponding low relative molar concentration of cholesterol. Two different secretory mechanisms were found to be responsible for the abnormal bile in the experimental groups. In the nonobese patients with cholesterol gallstones, bile salt and phospholipid secretion rates were both significantly reduced. Conversely, the grossly obese subjects had an increased cholesterol secretion. To determine how cholecystectomy improves biliary lipid composition, three groups of gallstone patients --6 with pigment stones, 4 grossly obese with cholesterol stones, and 13 nonobese with cholesterol stones --were all examined after full recovery from surgery. In the nonobese patients with cholesterol gallstones, both bile salt and phospholipid secretion significantly increased, causing a definite improvement in bile composition. Cholecystectomy produced a similar but less marked trend in the obese patients with cholesterol stones, and in the patients with pigment stones. Cholesterol secretion, however, was unaffected by surgery. The bile salt pool was definitely small in the nonobese patients with cholesterol gallstones and became slightly smaller after cholecystectomy. The pool was significantly reduced by cholecystectomyin the patients with cholesterol gallstones. Removal of the gallbladder in all three groups caused a greater fraction of the pool to cycle around the enterohepatic circulation each hour. This more rapid cycling produced the increase in bile salt and phospolipid secretion, and was responsible for the improved composition found after cholecystectomy.
Effect of Nitric Oxide on Shock–Induced Hepatic Heme Oxygenase–1 Expression in the Rat
Authors: Alexander Hoetzel, Dierk A. Vagts, Torsten Loop, Matjaz Humar, Michael Bauer, Heike L. Pahl, Klaus K. Geiger, Benedikt H.J. Pannen
Journal: Hepatology (2001)

Recent evidence suggests that the hepatic expression of heme oxygenase–1 (HO–1) may preserve hepatocellular integrity after hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (HR). Because nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to modulate HO–1 expression in cultured cells in vitro , we determined its potential role in the regulation of HO–1 expression after HR in the rat liver in vivo . HO–1 mRNA and protein were highly induced and HO enzyme activity was higher after HR when compared with time–matched sham controls. Administration of the NO donor, molsidomine (MOL) (3 mg · kg -1 ), during resuscitation attenuated the accumulation of HO–1 mRNA and protein and the rise in HO activity. In addition, MOL prevented the shock–induced increase in DNA binding activity of the transcription factor, activator protein–1 (AP–1), but did not alter the activity of nuclear factor–erythroid 2 related factor (Nrf–2), nuclear transcription factor–κB (NF–κB), and hypoxia–inducible factor–1 (HIF–1). The suppressing action of MOL was not confined to HO–1, because the hepatic expression of the 70–kd major heat shock protein (HSP) in response to HR was also diminished. Moreover, MOL prevented the HR–induced increase in the serum activity of alanine transaminase (ALT) and α–glutathione– S –transferase (α–GST) that could otherwise be observed after HR. In contrast, the NO synthase inhibitor, N ω –nitro–l–arginine methyl ester (l–NAME) (1 mg · kg -1 ), had either no or only minor effects on the primary experimental endpoints. These findings would be consistent with a reduction of shock–induced liver damage by exogenous NO, which in turn prevents the subsequent activation of injury–sensitive transcription factors, thus attenuating the expression of stress–inducible proteins such as HO–1.
