Clinical Remarks on Transient Glycosuria of Neurotic Origin
Authors: J. F. Goodhart
Journal: BMJ (1889)

a I WB often bear nowadays of the albuminuria that is not due to I diseaos of the kidneys, so much so that one would almost believe e that it is q,uite a common occurrence.Whether it be so or not is not my purpoee now to discuss, but I often wonder wben reading papers on this just now fashionable topic that so little is said about the glycosuria which is not diabetes, which in my experi-I ence is certainly a commoner disorder of the urine.No doubt this is greatly due to the fact that such cases have been fre- quently described, and textbooks state quite correctly that over- work, care, and anxiety are frequently attended with saccharine urine.But for our present purpose the frequency of a diseae or of a symptom in that whic.hmost entitles it to the attention and commands the interest of a meeting such as this; and therefore it in that I have put a few cases of this sort together for your consideration.I had thought that glycosuria, when transient, was supposed to be associated with, or in some way dependent upon, the gouty diathesis, but several Ces within recent memory that have come before me have not been, so far as I could ascer- tain, in the least gouty, and they were, on the other hand, all of them either in markedly neurotic people or asociated with over- work or worry.The notes, I am sorry to say, are but fragmentary.The first case was a man, aged 57.HiB family history was unimpeachable, and he himself was free from gout or rheumatism.He would not allow himself to be a nervous man.All that could be got from him was that he had been working very hard with his brain of late, and that he had had lumbago.His unne when examined was found to contain a good deal of sugar, but he had no polyuria.In my room he passed urine of specific gravity 1024, containing sugar 6 grains to the ounce.He was put on a moderately re- strieted diet, with half a grain of codeia three times a day, and an occasional dose of Carlsbad, and he was sent for a holiday.The sugar quickly disappeared from the urine, and, he has remined
Oral Hypoglycemic Drugs for Gestational Diabetes
Authors: Michael F. Greene
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (2000)

Gestational diabetes mellitus has been a contentious subject since it was first described. From a global perspective, authors have questioned its very existence, the burden of morbidity that it causes, and whether making the diagnosis simply increases the expense and complexity of perinatal care. Arguments have raged over who should be tested for gestational diabetes, when during pregnancy the testing should be done, what results define the disorder, and how affected women should be treated. For those willing to acknowledge that moderate abnormalities in carbohydrate metabolism during pregnancy require attention, there has been one point of agreement: if diet and . . .

Teratology: Principles and Techniques
Authors: Charles W. Bodemer
Journal: JAMA (1965)

This volume derives from the 1964 Workshop in Teratology, organized as a consequence of the resolutions of the Commission on Drug Safety. A cardinal objective of the workshop was to provide a mechanism for the exchange of information and techniques among teratologists and scientists of related disciplines; the formal material presented therein has now been organized into this volume. It contains ten hitherto-unpublished essays, ranging from the genetic aspects of teratology and the interplay of extrinsic and intrinsic factors in teratogenesis to effects of proteins, antibodies, and autoimmune phenomena upon conception and embryogenesis. Associated with each essay is a related demonstration, outlining many practical aspects of procedures and techniques of teratological research. Useful data and illustrations accompany each demonstration.  The book will be most useful to the scientist whose investigations relate directly or indirectly to abnormal development, but will also interest the general reader. These essays define some central problems
Indications and Results of Cryosurgery in 47 High Risk Patients with Prostatic Hypertrophy or Carcinoma
Authors: G. Anselmo, G. Mobilio, S. Cosciani Cunico, A. Cavalli, V. Pegoraro
Journal: Endoscopy (1975)

The authors report their experience with cryosurgery in a group of high risk patients presenting with prostatic hypertrophy or carcinoma. The patients were of advanced age and, in most cases, presented with chronic complete urinary retention and indwelling catheter. In 75.6% of cases, good results were achieved immediately. Residual urine was slight or absent in long term follow-up. No post-operative mortality related to the operation was observed and complications were mild. Despite the good results obtained, the authors maintain that prostatic cryosurgery is not indicated in sclerosis of the bladder neck where TUR is preferred, and advocate that prostatic cryosurgery should be limited to otherwise inoperable patients with prostatic hypertrophy or carcinoma.
Kinetics of the Normal Folate Enterohepatic Cycle
Authors: Stephen E. Steinberg, Caryl L. Campbell, Robert S. Hillman
Journal: Journal of Clinical Investigation (1979)

Detailed studies were undertaken to better define the role of the liver and the folate enterohepatic cycle in folate homeostasis. Three isotopes of folate were employed in a rat model to study several parameters: (a) intestinal transport; (b) variation in hepatic uptake after different routes of administration; (c) hepatic reduction, methylation, and polyglutamate formation; (d) biliary excretion; (e) transport of folate to tissue and its return to liver for re-entry into the enterohepatic cycle.
Association between Arsenic Exposure from Drinking Water and Longitudinal Change in Blood Pressure among HEALS Cohort Participants

Newman, Alauddin Ahmed, Tariqul Islam, Muhammad Rakibuz-Zaman, Rabiul Hasan, Golam Sarwar, Diane Levy, Vesna Slavkovich, Maria Argos, Molly Scannell Bryan, Shohreh F. Farzan, Richard B. Hayes, Joseph H. Graziano, Habibul Ahsan, Yu Chen
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (2015)

Cross-sectional studies have shown associations between arsenic exposure and prevalence of high blood pressure; however, studies examining the relationship of arsenic exposure with longitudinal changes in blood pressure are lacking.We evaluated associations of arsenic exposure in relation to longitudinal change in blood pressure in 10,853 participants in the Health Effects of Arsenic Longitudinal Study (HEALS). Arsenic was measured in well water and in urine samples at baseline and in urine samples every 2 years after baseline. Mixed-effect models were used to estimate the association of baseline well and urinary creatinine-adjusted arsenic with annual change in blood pressure during follow-up (median, 6.7 years).In the HEALS population, the median water arsenic concentration at baseline was 62 μg/L. Individuals in the highest quartile of baseline water arsenic or urinary creatinine-adjusted arsenic had a greater annual increase in systolic blood pressure compared with those in the reference group (β = 0.48 mmHg/year; 95% CI: 0.35, 0.61, and β = 0.43 mmHg/year; 95% CI: 0.29, 0.56 for water arsenic and urinary creatinine-adjusted arsenic, respectively) in fully adjusted models. Likewise, individuals in the highest quartile of baseline arsenic exposure had a greater annual increase in diastolic blood pressure for water arsenic and urinary creatinine-adjusted arsenic, (β = 0.39 mmHg/year; 95% CI: 0.30, 0.49, and β = 0.45 mmHg/year; 95% CI: 0.36, 0.55, respectively) compared with those in the lowest quartile.Our findings suggest that long-term arsenic exposure may accelerate age-related increases in blood pressure. These findings may help explain associations between arsenic exposure and cardiovascular disease.

Seeing Beyond Retinopathy in Diabetes: Electrophysiological and Psychophysical Abnormalities and Alterations in Vision
Authors: Fiona M. E. Ewing, Ian J. Deary, Mark W. J. Strachan, Brian M. Frier
Journal: Endocrine Reviews (1998)

Contrast sensitivity testing, in common with color vision (another test of psychophysical function), demonstrates significant changes in diabetic subjects compared with nondiabetic controls, and there is some evidence for a relationship with grade of retinopathy. Changes in contrast sensitivity have been demonstrated in children and adults with diabetes of short duration, and some evidence exists for a correlation with poor glycemic control, although prospective studies are required to assess this relationship over a longer time period. Although both color vision and contrast sensitivity demonstrate similar patterns, studies that directly compare the two tests suggest that measurement of contrast sensitivity is the more sensitive and specific.
START: A bridge between emotion theory and neurobiology through dynamic system modeling
Authors: Stephen Grossberg
Journal: Behavioral and Brain Sciences (2005)

Lewis proposes a “reconceptualization” of how to link the psychology and neurobiology of emotion and cognitive-emotional interactions. His main proposed themes have actually been actively and quantitatively developed in the neural modeling literature for more than 30 years. This commentary summarizes some of these themes and points to areas of particularly active research in this area.

Need for Additional Nomenclature.
Authors: Thomas G. Atkinson
Journal: JAMA (1906)

Chicago, April 14, 1906. <h3>To the Editor:</h3> —In view of the recent laudable attempts to establish the functional diagnosis of the alimentary tract by means of minute examination of the faces on a systematic and trustworthy basis—an attempt which I firmly believe will eventually justify itself in the satisfactoriness of its methods and the value of its findings—it seems as though a suitable nomenclature should be adopted in order to clarify and simplify the literary features of the undertaking. This nomenclature should be uniform with that of the pathology of the urine, since both are concerned with excretory products. The word "feces," which is universally, and I believe exclusively used to designate the excrement of the bowels, is the plural form of the Latin word,<i>fæx</i>, meaning a sediment, of which the genitive form is<i>fæcis</i>, and in order to follow the nomenclature of the urine, I would suggest that
Inappropriate Response to Upright Posture: A Precipitating Factor in the Pathogenesis of Idiopathic Edema
Authors: OTTO KUCHEL
Journal: Annals of Internal Medicine (1970)

The patterns of postural adaptation in 21 women suffering from idiopathic edema with elevated aldosterone excretion are compared with those in 21 healthy women. In the period free of edema induced by bed rest the patients with idiopathic edema presented a higher morning-evening weight difference; in the upright posture they presented a deeper fall in systolic blood pressure, a higher increase in leg volume, a significantly increased urinary sodium retention, and a higher plasma renin activity and urinary aldosterone increase than the healthy women. However, there was no significant difference in the urinary excretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine between the two groups. Many of the patients had anovulatory cycles with progesterone deficiency and relative estrogen excess. The hemodynamic and hormonal response to upright posture is exaggerated in this disease and results in an excessive sodium retention. This response may precipitate the manifestation of a preexisting latent disposition to this disease.

Exposure to Brominated Trihalomethanes in Water During Pregnancy and Micronuclei Frequency in Maternal and Cord Blood Lymphocytes
Authors: Leslie Thomas Stayner, Marie Pedersen, Evridiki Patelarou, Ilse Decordier, Kim Vande Loock, Leda Chatzi, Ana Espinosa, Eleni Fthenou, Mark J. Nieuwenhuijsen, Esther Gracia-Lavedan, Euripides G. Stephanou, Micheline Kirsch-Volders, Manolis Kogevinas
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (2013)

Water disinfection by-products have been associated with an increased cancer risk. Micronuclei (MN) frequency in lymphocytes is a marker of genomic damage and can predict adult cancer risk.We evaluated maternal exposure to drinking water brominated trihalomethanes (BTHM) in relation to MN frequency in maternal and cord blood lymphocytes.MN frequency was examined in 214 mothers and 223 newborns from the Rhea mother-child cohort in Crete, Greece, in 2007-2008. Residential BTHM water concentrations were estimated during pregnancy using tap water analyses and modeling. Questionnaires on water related habits were used to estimate BTHM exposure from all routes. Associations between BTHM and MN frequency were estimated using negative binomial regression.BTHM concentrations in residential tap water during pregnancy ranged from 0.06 to 7.1 μg/L. MN frequency in maternal binucleated lymphocytes was found to increase with BTHM concentrations in residential water for exposure during the first [rate ratio (RR) for 1 μg/L=1.05; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.11] and second trimesters (RR for 1 μg/L=1.03; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.06), and through all routes of BTHM exposure during the first trimester (RR for 1 μg/week=3.14; 95% CI: 1.16, 8.50).These findings suggest that exposure to BTHM may increase the frequency of MN in maternal binucleated lymphocytes.
