A Simple Method to Determine the Location of the Capsule and Thus Whether Prokinetic Drugs Are Needed During Video Capsule Endoscopy
Authors: U. Seitz, S. Bohnacker, N. Soehendra
Journal: Endoscopy (2002)

The new method of video capsule endoscopy [1] allows visualization of the small intestine with very little discomfort for patients. Since the capsule is passively transported through the gastrointestinal tract, passage times vary considerably depending on bowel motility. However, the transmission time of the capsule is limited. Consequently, if it is transported too slowly and the cecum is not reached soon enough, video capsule enteroscopy remains incomplete. Therefore, some investigators prefer to administer prokinetic drugs routinely for the examination. However, if the capsule is transported too quickly then fewer images are recorded, and small lesions may be visualized on only a single picture or may even be missed.

Authors: K Epaminontidis, E Papacostas, A Koutloumpasis, G Ziogas, J Terzidis
Journal: British Journal of Sports Medicine (2011)

Purpose To present our experience with an interesting case of bilateral consecutive matrix autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI) in the knees of an Olympic level skier. The rehabilitation protocol applied had a few but significant differences compared to other protocols, regarding the rate and methods of increasing joint loading during the early phases of rehabilitation. Methods and materials A 29-year-old, alpine skier with bilateral chondral lesions of the trochleas and the left lateral femoral condyle. Preoperative International Knee Documentation Committee subjective score was 58(L) and 62 (R). In October 2007, he underwent bilateral knee arthroscopic evaluation and cartilage biopsy. In November 2007 the first MACI was conducted in his left knee, and the second MACI in the right knee in March 2008. A second look arthroscopy took place in the left knee. The rehabilitation protocol followed the guidelines outlined by Hambly et al (2006) with a few modifications: – Non-weight bearing (left knee): 4 weeks (right knee): 1 week – Full weight bearing (left knee): 6 weeks (right knee): 4 weeks – Closed kinetic chain exercise (rowing-free handed) (left knee): 6 weeks (right knee): 6 weeks – Intermmitent compression of repair site with use of dynamometer Controlled isometric contractions in angles that engaged the repaired sites. The applied load was controlled via optical biofeedback from dynamometer. (left knee): 8 weeks (right knee): 10 weeks Results The athlete was able to returned to acceptable performance levels on the exercise physiology lab at 8 months. He was able to participate in high level races by 12 months. His 12 month IKDC score reached 94 (L) and 88 (R). Conclusions Accelerated rehabilitation with the inclusion of controlled intermmitent compression of the repair sites early in the rehabilitation process is safe and may promote tissue regeneration at a faster rate than previously thought.
Direct demonstration that the <sup>A</sup>γ<sup>T</sup> globin gene is linked to the 4 bp promoter deletion in the β<sup>A</sup> chromosome of sickle cell traits
Authors: John G. Gilman, Olgica Josifovska, Soili Erlingsson, Ronald L. Nagel, Paul F. Milner
Journal: American Journal of Hematology (1993)

Abstract In βP°‐thalassemia and sickle cell patients, a 4 bp deletion at –222 to –225 of the A γ globin promoter was associated with low expression of the A γ T variant (threonine at codon 75 of A γ), whereas A γ I (isoleucine at 75) had the normal A γ promoter and higher expression. However, it has been reported that the β A chromosomes of sickle cell trait cases have the 4 bp deletion as a common polymorphism unlinked lo the A γ T allele. We now present data demonstrating the association of the A γ T allele with the 4 bp deletion in β A chromosomes of sickle cell traits.

CONTROL OF DIPHTHERIA.
Authors: W. K. JAQUES
Journal: JAMA (1898)

The knowledge which careful investigation has given the medical world has placed within our hands the means of controlling diphtheria—the most fatal disease of childhood—as it has never been controlled before. Just in proportion as this knowledge is made available when needed, will be the success with which the disease may be held in check. In the past, diphtheria has been in the hands of the family physician, the health official taking little or no part in the treatment, except to warn the public by a placard and insist upon isolation. But our present knowledge of the disease demands a greater participation than heretofore by municipal as well as State officials. Diphtheria is influenced by every factor that affects the physiologic resistance of the human system. History shows that in every large city, in periods varying from seven to ten years, the disease becomes epidemic, probably due to racial and
Mycoplasma hominis in abortion.
Authors: D. M. Jones
Journal: BMJ (1967)

Mycoplasma hominis is found in the human genital tract both in health and in disease, and usually behaves as a commensal.M. hominis is commoner in the female genital tract than in the male, and there is evidence that it can cause infection of the genital tract in women (Gotthardson and Melen, 1953; Stokes, 1955 ; Lemcke and Csonka, 1962).The studies reported here were to investigate any connexion between the presence of mycoplasma in the female genital tract and abortion.In the first investigation a series of aborted foetuses were cultured for the presence of mycoplasma in the foetal tissues.After the isolation of M. hominis from foetal tissue it seemed important to establish if this organism could be isolated more commonly from the vagina of patients with abortion than from those having normal pregnancies.A further study was made of a series of patients admitted to hospital with abortion.They were examined for the presence of mycoplasma in the genital tract, and also for antibody to M. hominis before and after abortion. Patients and MethodsFoetuses.-Abortedfoetuses from patients admitted to Withington Hospital were collected over a period of several months.The foetuses were carefully opened and pieces of lung and liver tissue taken for culture.The tissue was chopped finely and cultured for mycoplasmas, viruses, and bacteria.Great care was taken to avoid contamination from amniotic fluid or from any tissue that had been in direct contact with the genital tract.At the same time portions of tissue were taken for histological examination.When a growth of myco- plasma was obtained from any foetus a specimen of blood was taken from the mother for antibody estimation.

Exercise-induced reduction in myocardial infarct size after coronary artery occlusion in the rat.
Authors: C L McElroy, S A Gissen, M C Fishbein
Journal: Circulation (1978)

Chronic exercise (E) has been thought to be beneficial to the cardiovascular system by increasing energy production and utilization, improving myocardial contractility and increasing myocardial vascularity; whether or not any of these effects are beneficial to ischemic myocardium is uncertain. In this study, rats were forced to swim one hr/day, 5 days/wk for 5 weeks. They were sacrificed and the myocardial capillary bed was perfused with carbon black. Using a calibrated eyepiece grid, histologic sections of heart were examined to determine capillary/fiber ratios (C/F) and myocardial fiber diameter. C/F was increased by 30% in E rats [0.87 +/- 0.06 (mean +/- SE) (N = 4 rats)] when compared with sedentary controls (C) [0.67 +/- 0.04 (N = 4 rats), P is less than 0.05]. This training effect occurred in the absence of hypertrophy since there were no differences in ventricular weight (1.21 +/- 0.04 mg in E rats vs 1.16 +/- 0.03 mg in C rats) or in fiber diameter (13.0 +/- 0.2 mu in E rats vs 13.1 +/- 0.2 mu in C rats) in the two groups. An additional 27 E rats and 25 C rats underwent left coronary artery occlusion and were sacrificed 48 hr later. Myocardial infarct size was measured by planimetry of histologic sections of serial slices of left ventricle (LV). In the 27 E rats, 21.5 +/- 1.9% of the LV was infarcted compared with 31.3 +/- 2.6% in the 25 C rats (P is less than 0.005). Thus, infarct size was reduced by 30% in E rats. In the rat, exercise results in a reduction of myocardial infarct size after coronary artery occlusion which, at least in part, may be related to increased myocardial vascularity.

Abortion for 'wrong' fetal sex: an ethical-legal dilemma
Authors: John Elliott
Journal: JAMA (1979)

"Please doctor, we have three girls and we want to know the sex of our new baby," says the couple seeking prenatal diagnosis. "Can you help us?" The ethical dilemma facing the physician in such cases, although perhaps less pressing than some in applied human genetics, is certainly one of the most difficult to resolve in all of medicine. Because abortion is a procedure that never elicits a noncommittal response, and because many genetics counselors are pediatricians who regard the fetus as the primary patient, it is extremely difficult for the counselor not to interfere in the decisions of parents seeking fetal sex determination for the purpose of choosing the sex of their next child. In fact, the nature of the physician-patient relationship and way in which the physician presents the information learned from prenatal diagnosis (mainly amniocentesis) invariably influences the parents' decision. There is some debate, however, about the

The Practice of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Authors: Fred A. Crawford
Journal: JAMA (1978)

This monograph grew out of a previously published poll of cardiovascular surgeons, whereby the author (a cardiovascular surgeon) wanted to determine techniques of coronary artery surgery.  present volume tries to present to the entire health-care field the current relevant information regarding coronary artery surgery. Several chapters were written in collaboration, resulting in considerable repetition.  contents of the individual chapters are generally good, particularly those dealing with assessment of injury, myocardial protection, and the role of internal mammary artery. Chapter 4, The Risks of Coronary Bypass Surgery, spends too much time describing complications inherent in any type of surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass and not enough on the management of specific problems. For example, there is little mention of postoperative hypertension and almost none regarding the management of postoperative low cardiac output with pharmacologic agents or intraaortic balloon pump. A chapter on anesthetic management would be appropriate.   greatest objection
COMPARATIVE STUDIES IN LIVER FUNCTION BY SOME OF THE LATER METHODS
Authors: GEORGE MORRIS PIERSOL
Journal: JAMA (1924)

The recent modification by Rosenthal<sup>1</sup>of the phenoltetrachlorphthalein method of testing liver function has marked another advance in our efforts to understand the functional competence of this complex organ. After the preparation of the dye by Orndorff and Black<sup>2</sup>in 1908, and the contribution of Rowntree and Abel<sup>3</sup>in 1909 showing that this dye is withdrawn from the blood solely by the liver, a long series of investigators have reported on its merits in testing liver function, first by the stool and later by the duodenal tube method. Now Rosenthal has introduced a new method based on the ability of the liver to remove the dye from the blood stream in a given time. We have made sixty-seven separate determinations of liver function, using the Rosenthal technic. His method was then used as a standard for comparison with the other most important methods of estimating liver function,

NTS AT1a receptor on long-term arterial pressure regulation: putative mechanism
Authors: E. Colombari, D. S. A. Colombari
Journal: Cardiovascular Research (2013)

This editorial refers to ‘Cardiovascular role of angiotensin type1A receptors in the nucleus of the solitary tract of mice’ by B. Abegaz et al. , pp. 181–191, this issue. 

Studies over the last 50 years have demonstrated the major role of the central nervous system and renin–angiotensin system (RAS) acting together to control cardiovascular haemodynamic and blood fluid homoeostasis. It is well accepted that the combination of CNS and RAS is the major regulator of blood pressure in both normal and patho-physiological conditions. Considered one of the most important nuclei of the brain stem, the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), located at the dorsal brainstem, is the first synaptic relay station in the CNS for cardiovascular and respiratory afferent fibres, among other afferents,1 and contributes in mediating the hypertension and sympathoexcitation observed in spontaneously hypertensive rats.1–3

Most of the classical actions of central Ang II are exerted via the angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 (AT1) receptor,4 which activates …
