Treatment for haemophilia by calendar in Hungary
Authors: G. Sas
Journal: BMJ (1997)

Rationing health careAllocating resources only to treating present dangers would ruin preventive health care and jeopardise future livesEditor-In his article on the objectives of the NHS John Harris argues that "there is a good principle that real and present dangers should be met before future and speculative ones." 1 Has he really thought about the implications of this?Immunisation, health promotion, and preventive interventions would all be swept away in favour of curative treatments.As the lives lost by such a shift in resources would be future lives and the people not identifiable beforehand, they would count for nothing.The state's obligation to protect the "citizen against threats to her life and liberty" only applies to immediate threats.Harris argues that the health budget should be larger, as if a larger budget will somehow allocate itself and obviate the need for choosing between competing alternatives.He also claims that health care (and he means curative care) should be afforded a high priority in the state budget.This presents a simple dilemma: should the state spend more on raising the income of impoverished families or on resources to provide more intensive care beds?Since raising the income of poor families has no impact on immediate threats to health, according to Harris we must clearly prefer spending more on providing more intensive care beds.Harris fails to recognise the first problem in identifying healthcare needs.If resources are not the immediate constraint on a healthcare system then rationing takes place on the basis of whether a need (or a want) can be legitimised as a healthcare need.In times of plenty the remit of formal health care expands.Harris seems to desire this process to continue.In wishing for more of our labour to be devoted to financing this end, he can see no cost or opportunity cost to the process.Am I alone in finding this naive?
The Problem-Oriented System
Authors: M. L. Campbell
Journal: JAMA (1973)

This book is an outcome of a national conference entitled "Teaching Methods and Patient Care with Emphasis on the Weed System," held in September 1971 at Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta. Its purpose is to bring together in a single volume the experiences of those who have been actively involved in implementing "The Problem-Oriented Record" in various settings in the health care arena. The paperback book is divided into eight parts, of which three merit particular emphasis. The essence of this work is captured in part 2, entitled "Practical Considerations," where the logic of the system is described and then considered in regard to its mechanics, its value, and ways of implementation. Part 3 deals with its educational implications at the undergraduate and graduate levels, while part 5 addresses itself to its value in private practice and continuing medical education. The balance of this book is of value to
Drug Screening in Prenatal Care Demands Objective Medical Criteria, Support Services
Authors: Andrew Skolnick
Journal: JAMA (1990)

A STUDY by researchers at the Medical Center of Delaware, Inc, Newark, suggests that including urine drug screening with routine prenatal care may improve pregnancy outcomes among populations at high risk of drug abuse. But they say this is true only if adequate drug counseling and other supportive services are also available. The study, by Garrett H. C. Colmorgen, MD, director of maternal-fetal medicine at the center; Cherie Johnson, MD, a fourth-year resident; and their colleagues, involved women who received prenatal care through the Outpatient Services Department of Wilmington Hospital in Newark. It was reported in San Francisco during the annual meeting of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. "In an effort to identify high-risk patients, Wilmington Hospital implemented universal urine drug screening for all pregnant women receiving prenatal care," Johnson told the conference attendees. "Patients whose urine tested positive for illicit drugs were offered special services to reduce
Demonstration of Abnormal Peritoneal Communication in Patients with Ascites
Authors: MARY J O RECOSKIE, DANIEL PICARD, MICHEL PICARD, LUCIE CARRIER, RAYMONDE CHARTRAND
Journal: Clinical Nuclear Medicine (1990)

Patients with ascites are known to have complications such as pleural effusions and hernias. Special diagnostic procedures are occasionally necessary to determine the nature of the abnormality and to determine the corrective medico-surgical approach. The two cases described illustrate the usefulness of intraperitoneal as well as intrapleural injection of a radionuclide in diagnosing the leakage of ascitic fluid.
ANDROGEN THERAPY IN GYNECOLOGY
Authors: SAMUEL H. GEIST
Journal: JAMA (1941)

Synthetic testis hormone (testosterone propionate) is being used with increasing frequency in the treatment of a number of functional gynecologic conditions. We have previously reported on its use in the treatment of the menopausal syndrome, 1 functional menometrorrhagia, 2 dysmenorrhea, 3 premenstrual tension, 4 pain of ovulation and endometriosis, and functional mastopathies. 5 Our experience with androgens in gynecologic therapy, which extends over a period of more than four years and is based on a series of 422 cases, has convinced us that their use as therapeutic agents has a sound rationale and a well defined place in our endocrine armamentarium. However, like so many other valuable therapeutic agents, their use is not unattended by harmful potentialities unless specific indications are observed and appropriate safeguards employed. Fortunately, the range of biologic effects exerted by these hormones, the threshold of tolerance and the objective criteria for regulating the dosage have been
Effect of Fecal Occult Blood Testing on Mortality from Colorectal Cancer: A Case–Control Study
Authors: Joe V. Selby
Journal: Annals of Internal Medicine (1993)

Objective: To estimate by case–control methods the effect of screening using the fecal occult blood test (FOBT) on mortality from colorectal cancer and to examine the relation of that effect to the interval since the most recent screening test. Design: A case–control study. Setting: The Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program of Northern California. Patients: A total of 485 persons who developed fatal colorectal cancer after 50 years of age and 727 age- and sex-matched controls. Measurements: History of screening FOBTs during the 5 years before case diagnosis. Results: After adjustment for potentially confounding factors, an odds ratio of 0.69 (95% CI, 0.52 to 0.91) was observed for exposure to at least one screening FOBT during the 5-year interval. The odds ratio was lowest for the first year after the most recent FOBT and rose to 1.00 three years after the last screening examination. False-negative results among cases in the 1 to 2 years before diagnosis contributed substantially to lowering the estimate of efficacy. Conclusions: These data suggest that a program of annual or biennial screening using FOBTs might lower population risk for mortality from colorectal cancer sufficiently to have important public health implications. However, the confidence intervals around our odds ratio estimates were wide. We therefore believe that additional data will be needed before making recommendations that FOBT screening be expanded.
Handbook of Clinical Pharmacokinetics
Authors: Ross H. Weaver
Journal: JAMA (1983)

The editors, Gibaldi and Prescott, have attempted to develop a book that can be used by all whose work is directed towards better drug therapy, and in particular to teachers, students, and those on the 'front line' who are directly involved in the prescribing of drugs. While the H andbook of Clinical Pharmacokinetics will be extremely useful to pharmacokinetic researchers and consultants, the cost, format, and lack of an index minimize its use for drug prescribers in general.  The text is a compilation of more than 60 selected articles from the journal Clinical Pharmacokinetics that have been publishd since 1976. Each article has been reviewed and updated by the original authors for inclusion in this book. The editors are widely recognized as leaders in the field of pharmacokinetics and have done a remarkable job of integrating the widely divergent articles into a cogent unit. This was accomplished by separating the
The Effect of Treatment of Acidosis on Calcium Balance in Patients with Chronic Azotemic Renal Disease*
Authors: John R. Litzow, Jacob Lemann, Edward J. Lennon
Journal: Journal of Clinical Investigation (1967)

Small but statistically significant negative calcium balances were found in each of eight studies in seven patients with chronic azotemic renal disease when stable metabolic acidosis was present. Only small quantities of calcium were excreted in the urine, but fecal calcium excretion equaled or exceeded dietary intake. Complete and continuous correction of acidosis by NaHCO3 therapy reduced both urinary and fecal calcium excretion and produced a daily calcium balance indistinguishable from zero.
Prognosis and Treatment of Sprue in India
Authors: K. D. Keele
Journal: BMJ (1949)

Treatment consisted of aseptic aspiration of the large blisters and the application of sedative lotions such as calamine or calamine and lead, which tend to dry up the lesions.Liniment of calamine or zinc cream is useful in the late stages to keep the skin soothed yet supple. SummaryThirty-six cases of phyto-photo-dermatitis are recorded.A further eight cases are noted.Wild parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris) was found to be the plant responsible for the outbreak.This was confirmed by patch- tests.The history, the geographical distribution, and the biochemical and biophysical factors of the disease are briefly discussed, along with the species of plants indicated as causing it.Differential diagnosis and treatment are also mentioned.I wish to thank the D.G.M.S., Royal Air Force, Air Marshal P.

Acute Myocardial Infarction Temporally Related to Cocaine Use
Authors: HENRY W. B. SMITH
Journal: Annals of Internal Medicine (1987)

Ischemic chest pain syndromes and myocardial infarction occurred within minutes to hours of cocaine use in nine persons ages 23 to 39 years. Five developed symptoms after taking cocaine intranasally; three, after intravenous use; and one, after smoking cocaine. Four were habitual users and five were recreational users; eight also smoked cigarettes heavily. Ischemic syndromes recurred in five who continued to use cocaine. Coronary arteriography showed an abnormal infarct-related vessel (more than 50% stenosis, total occlusion, or intraluminal thrombus) in seven patients. The noninfarct-related vessels were normal in eight patients. The left anterior descending coronary artery and the anteroapical left-ventricular wall were involved in all patients. After three patients had successful thrombolysis of the obstructed infarct-related vessel, angiography showed a normal underlying vessel.
Use of the Title "Doctor"-Reply
Authors: J. F. Montague
Journal: JAMA (1964)

Certainly there was no deprecation expressed or implied in the third paragraph of my letter previously published. I, and the world at large, respect and admire Doctors of Philosophy when they confine their doctoring to their own province—philosophy. Just as assuredly do we resent the intrusion of Doctors of Philosophy into the field of medical authorship. Family health volumes, popular health articles, and even medical monographs written by Doctors of Philosophy are published and frequently cited as authoritative. When the validity of such quotations is questioned patients will defiantly say, "Well, it was written by one of you Doctors." This is mentioned to indicate the misconception that prevails among the laity. They somehow believe that all Doctors are alike and all of them are medical. To relieve them of this misapprehension is a matter of fairness not only to the laity, but also to the medical profession and to the
Extramedullary Hematopoiesis Assessment in a Patient With Osteopetrosis
Authors: CALIN CALUSER, ANDREW SCOTT, HOMER MACAPINLAC, SAMUEL YEH, NANCY ROSENFELT, BOULAD FARID, HUSSEIN M. ABDEL-DAYEM, STEVEN M. LARSON, HOVANES KALAIGIAN
Journal: Clinical Nuclear Medicine (1995)

A 23-year-old patient with osteopetrosis had Tc-99m SC scintigraphy to evaluate the bone marrow stores and possible foci of extramedullary hematopoiesis. The bone marrow scan showed depleted bone marrow stores in the bones, but significant extramedullary foci of hematopoiesis in the liver, spleen, and pelvis. SPECT images of the bone marrow and x-ray CT images of the abdomen and pelvis accurately localized the extramedullary foci of hematopoiesis.

OBSTRUCTION OF THE BOWELS.Read before the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Medicine at the Semi-Annual Meeting held at Annapolis, Nov. 23, 1893.
Authors: EDWARD ANDERSON
Journal: JAMA (1894)

I have had a good many cases of this trouble, as all of you who have been in practice fora number of years must have had. On being summoned to the bedside of a patient suffering from obstruction of the bowels there are three questions we should ask: What has the patient been eating? What doing? And whether he or she is of a constipated habit? Although I have never seen complete obstruction caused by scybala, I have seen it sufficiently so to have caused death had not timely remedies been employed. I will mention a case in point later on. I have always been able after a few hours' attendance to discriminate between those cases which required surgical interference and those which did not. If complete obstruction occurs suddenly, accompanied by pain sufficiently intense to require the administration of large doses of opium oft repeated, enemas having failed, surgical
Pulsed YAG Laser Surgery
Authors: Andrew J. Packer
Journal: JAMA (1984)

The use of the neodymium YAG laser in ophthalmology is a new and exciting development, providing a noninvasive surgical tool for the lysis of intraocular membranes. The editor of this book, Dr Danièle Aron-Rosa, is one of the true pioneers in the field, having used the mode-locked neodymium YAG laser to treat thousands of eyes. The fundamental physical properties of the YAG laser are concisely explained in the early chapters, most comprehensible even to those who have not studied physics for 20 years or more. The clinical chapters are somewhat sketchy and lack precise references to the literature. Despite this shortcoming, the book does serve as the most comprehensive volume yet published on the use of YAG lasers in ophthalmology. The "before and after" clinical photographs (more than 50 color photos) are particularly helpful in demonstrating the scope of usefulness of the YAG laser, aiding the novice YAG surgeon in

THU0517 Patient and Physician Global Estimates in the Danish Nationwide Danbio Registry: Male and Female Physicians are More Likely to Underestimate Severity in Female Than Male Patients
Authors: C. Lindström Egholm, T. Pincus, L. Dreyer, T. Ellingsen, B. Glintborg, M. Kowalski, T. Lorenzen, O. R. Madsen, C. Rasmussen, H. Nordin, M. L. Hetland
Journal: Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases (2013)

<h3>Background</h3> About one third of physician global estimates (DOCGL) of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity are &gt;20mm lower than patient global estimates (PATGL) on a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS)[1]. Some studies indicate that DOCGL is more likely to be lower than PATGL in female patients, suggesting underestimation of severity, even after adjusting for clinical measures of disease activity. Studies in other clinical areas suggest that physician and patient gender affect their interaction. Little information is available concerning possible discordance in global estimates of RA activity between male and female rheumatologists in male and female patients. <h3>Objectives</h3> To study potential discordance in DOCGL and PATGL according to gender of both rheumatologists and RA patients in the Danish nationwide DANBIO-registry. <h3>Methods</h3> Physician gender was requested as part of a questionnaire sent to DANBIO physicians (n = 265). PATGL and DOCGL global scores and patient gender were obtained from DANBIO first encounter between the physicians and their patients. Consistent with the literature, a difference between DOCGL and PATGL of up to 20 mm was considered concordant. Statistical analyses of the differences between the four possible physician-patient gender groups and discordance were performed using chi-square test. <h3>Results</h3> The 90 physicians who returned the questionnaire (34%) were matched with first encounters of a total of 8,970 patients. The physicians were 55% female, with median age 52 years for female physicians and 53 years for male physicians. Patients were 74% females. Overall, 50% of the encounters were concordant, 48% were negative discordant and 2% were positive discordant. <h3>Conclusions</h3> This study in routine care indicates more negative discordance between patient and physician in female patients, with even greater disagreement if the physician is female. <h3>References</h3> Khan NA et al.
