Vesicoureteral Reflux: A Radiographic Sign Common to Multiple Diseases
Authors: Lowell R. King
Journal: JAMA (1972)

Some of the clearest evidence that at times vesicoureteral reflux may be hereditary was presented in 1966 by Waterhouse,<sup>1</sup>who noted that reflux was rare in black Americans, whereas perhaps 1 % of white girls were affected. Nothing, except a difference in the genetic pool, can explain this observation. Insufficient attempts have been made to elucidate the mode of inheritance of reflux. Though sporadic reports of afflicted siblings have appeared since 1955, the presentations of Miller and Caspari, and of Schmidt et al, published in this issue ofThe Journal, are milestones in this regard. There are several reasons why it is difficult to define the mode of inheritance. First, "reflux" is not a single disease entity; several distinct mechanisms by which vesicoureteral reflux may be produced have been defined. Each mechanism must be regarded as a separate disease if the entity is to be understood, and inheritance discussed intelligently.

A Retroesophageal Parathyroid Adenoma Detected With Tc-99m Sestamibi and MRI
Authors: JOACHIM ZENTNER, HARRY VOGT, PETER HEIDENREICH
Journal: Clinical Nuclear Medicine (1999)

A 63-year-old woman with a history of primary hyperparathyroidism was evaluated for preoperative localization of a parathyroid adenoma. Because ultrasound of the thyroid was not diagnostic, Tc-99m sestamibi and Tc-99m pertechnetate imaging of the cervical region were performed. The delayed planar sestamibi scan showed a focal accumulation located in the region of the thyroid isthmus. In contrast, the Tc-99m pertechnetate scan did not show focal activity in this area. Therefore, a thyroidal explanation for the sestamibi accumulation could be excluded. A subsequent MRI confirmed a lesion between the esophagus and spine in anatomic correlation with the sestamibi scan. Sestamibi was injected before operation again for a gamma probe–guided localization. With the aid of the probe, the surgeon was able to detect and remove a 0.5-g retroesophageal parathyroid adenoma.
Intralesional steroid injection to prevent stricture after endoscopic submucosal dissection for esophageal cancer: a controlled prospective study
Authors: N. Hanaoka, R. Ishihara, Y. Takeuchi, N. Uedo, K. Higashino, T. Ohta, H. Kanzaki, M. Hanafusa, K. Nagai, F. Matsui, H. Iishi, M. Tatsuta, Y. Ito
Journal: Endoscopy (2012)

<b>Background and study aims: </b>The frequency of stricture after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with a mucosal defect involving more than three-quarters of the circumference is 70 % – 90 %. Stricture decreases quality of life and requires multiple endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) sessions. We investigated the efficacy and safety of a single session of intralesional steroid injections to prevent post-ESD stricture. <b>Patients and methods: </b>We conducted a prospective study on 30 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated by ESD, who had a more than three-quarter but less than whole circumferential defect. A single session of intralesional steroid injections was undertaken immediately after ESD. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed whenever patients reported dysphagia and 2 months after ESD in patients without dysphagia. Results were compared with a historical control group of 29 patients who underwent ESD without intralesional steroid injection. The primary endpoint was the post-ESD stricture rate. Secondary endpoints were the number of EBD sessions and the complication rate. <b>Results:</b> Compared with the historical control group, the study group had a significantly lower stricture rate (10 %, 3 /30 patients vs. 66 %, 19 /29 patients; <i>P</i> < 0.0001) and a lower number of EBD sessions (median 0, range 0 – 2 vs. median 2, range 0 – 15; <i>P</i> < 0.0001). The study group had a complication rate of 7 % (2 /30 patients), comprising a submucosal tear in one patient and bleeding in another, which were not a direct result of EBD. <b>Conclusions: </b>A single session of intralesional steroid injections showed promising results for the prevention of stricture after ESD for esophageal cancer.

Selective coronary arteriography has facilitated investigation of this problem by providing the means to delineate severity of coronary artery disease during life. Accordingly, mortality related to the disease was studied in 66 patients with angina pectoris and angiographically documented significant coronary artery disease. Patients were classified as having one-, two-, or threevessel disease. All patients received only medical therapy. Duration of observation was 26.1 ± 13.5 (SD) months during which there...

Authors: M. Horejsi, J. Sach, A. Tomsikova, A. Mecl, D. Blahnikova, M. Tumova, A. Valisova
Journal: Thorax (1960)

The effects of moulds on humans, and especially on the respiratory tract, have been of interest to many investigators (Virchow, 1856; Deve, 1938; Riddell, 1956; Wegmann, 1956; Clayton, 1958; Staib and Ata, 1958). Some moulds are pathogenic, but there are others, such as aspergilli, which can produce lung disease only in certain circumstances. There is still no agreement about their relationship to macro-organisms, but roughly four types of activity are recognized (Deve, 1938; Hinson, Moon, and Plummer, 1952; Frankland and Hamilton, 1958), namely: (1) Saprophytic.-Settling without any obvious reaction on the part of the host. (2) Allergic.-Most frequently manifested as bronchial asthma (Fawcitt, 1938; Tornell, 1946; Hinson et al., 1952; Fuller, 1953; Studdert, 1953; Frankland and Hamilton, 1958). (3) Production of proper fungous lung diseases. (4) Doubtful fungal aetiology: farmer's lung. We have investigated a group of subjects working for many years in environments containing great quantities of spores of aspergillus and penicillia, without any admixture of dust or other pathogenic organisms. From this investigation we tried to answer the following questions of general interest:

Radiation-Induced Esophagitis on FDG PET Imaging
Authors: Peeyush Bhargava, Phillip Reich, Abass Alavi, Hongming Zhuang
Journal: Clinical Nuclear Medicine (2003)

Whole-body fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomographic (FDG PET) imaging is now being used for staging and restaging patients with a variety of cancers. Benign and inflammatory disorders have been reported to take up FDG, and it is important to recognize these on PET images for appropriate interpretation. The authors present a 76-year-old man who was treated with radiation for poorly differentiated nonsmall cell lung cancer and whose posttherapy PET images showed FDG uptake in the region of radiation-induced esophagitis.

Controlling Costs by “Managed Competition” -- Would It Work?
Authors: Arnold S. Relman
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (1993)

In an editorial four years ago I suggested that universal health insurance was an idea whose time had come1. That prediction may have been a little premature -- but now, with the election of a president strongly committed to health care coverage for all, early legislative action seems very likely. However, Mr. Clinton clearly understands there can be no universal insurance without effective cost controls. Virtually all experts now agree that cost control is the key. The central task is to slow or stop the relentless inflation of costs, while making necessary services available to all and preserving or . . .

Stability of Alexithymia and Its Relationships with the ‘Big Five’ Factors, Temperament, Character, and Attachment Style
Authors: Angelo Picardi, Alessandro Toni, Emanuele Caroppo
Journal: Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics (2005)

&lt;i&gt;Background:&lt;/i&gt; Controversy still exists concerning the stability of the alexithymia construct. Also, although alexithymia has been found to be related in a theoretically meaningful way to other personality constructs such as the ‘Big Five’ factors, few studies have investigated its relationship with influential constructs such as temperament and character, and attachment security. &lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;/i&gt; Two hundred twenty-one undergraduate and graduate students were administered the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Zung Depression Scale (ZDS), the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI-125), the Big Five Questionnaire (BFQ), and the Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR) questionnaire. After 1 month, 115 participants completed again the TAS-20, STAI, and ZDS. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;/i&gt; Alexithymia was only moderately correlated with depression and anxiety. Both the absolute and relative stability of TAS-20 total and subscale scores was high, and a negligible portion of their change over time was accounted for by changes in depression or anxiety. In separate multiple regression models including also gender, age, depression and anxiety, TAS-20 total and subscale scores were correlated with low energy/extraversion, low emotional stability, openness, low friendliness/agreeableness; harm avoidance, low self-directedness, low cooperativeness, low reward dependence; attachment-related avoidance and anxiety. &lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/i&gt; Our findings lend support for both absolute and relative stability of alexithymia, corroborate an association between alexithymia and insecure attachment, and contribute to a coherent placing of alexithymia in the broader theoretical network of personality constructs.

Partial left pericardial defect with herniation of the left atrial appendage
Authors: C. Pernot, J C. Hoeffel, M. Henry, R. Frisch, B. Brauer
Journal: Thorax (1972)

A case is reported of herniation of the left atrial appendage through a partial pericardial defect, probably congenital. The diagnosis was suggested by the history of chest pain and bulging of the middle segment of the left heart border on the plain chest film, without other signs. Angiography revealed a dilated left atrial appendage. An artificial left pneumothorax confirmed the presence of a pleuropericardial defect. The surgical procedure included excision of the appendage and closure of the defect.

<h3></h3> <b>Background:</b> Multiple closed spontaneous pulley ruptures are rare injuries and require surgical reconstruction to prevent functional deficits. Pulley rupture combined with avulsion of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) tendon is an even more uncommon occurrence. <b>Case Report:</b> We describe a closed traumatic annular 2 (A2) through annular 4 (A4) pulley rupture with avulsion of the FDS tendon. This uniquely associated pathology was treated with a complex surgical reconstruction that corrected flexion contracture and tendon bowstringing in the left long finger. The desired outcome was achieved through A2 and A4 pulley reconstruction using an autologous palmaris longus tendon graft with FDS tendon excision and proximal interphalangeal joint capsulotomy. <b>Conclusion:</b> Multiple pulley rupture is not commonly combined with FDS avulsion, and treatment of this injury requires careful surgical planning based on pulley biomechanics to maximize postoperative function.
