The Address on Stomatology.
Authors: Cassius C. Rogers
Journal: JAMA (1902)

Chicago, June 30, 1902. <h3>To the Editor:</h3> In the issue ofThe Journalof June 21, 1902, there appeared a Chairman's Address entitled, "Physical Diagnosis as Related to Dental College Curricula," delivered before the Section on Stomatology at the fifty-third annual meeting of the American Medical Association at Saratoga Springs, N. Y., June 3-10, 1902, by A. H. Peck, M.D., D.D.S., Chicago. This article is a plagiarism of a lecture delivered by me Oct. 16, 1901, as my initial lecture on "Physical Diagnosis" to the senior class of the Chicago College of Dental Surgery, 180 copies of this lecture being mimeographed and furnished the senior class. Not only is the subject-matter given exactly as presented by me, but, while the sentences are in some, cases transposed, the majority of them are exactly as they appeared in my lecture, even to the extent of a mistake in the copy.

Cheerful children die younger than gloomy classmates, says study
Authors: Roger Dobson
Journal: BMJ (2002)

Cheerfulness is not necessarily healthy. It may be widely believed that cheerful children become happy, healthy, and even wise adults who live to a good old age, but new research suggests that as adults they tend to die earlier than their less cheerful classmates.

“Children who were rated by their parents and teachers as more cheerful/optimistic, and as having a sense of humour, died earlier than those who were less cheerful,” says a report of the research ( Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin 2002:28; 1155-65).

In the study psychologists looked at health data on 1216 …
Spontaneous Pneumothorax in Tuberous Sclerosis
Authors: Rajeev L Narayan
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (2008)

A 28-year-old woman with tuberous sclerosis presented with sudden onset of dyspnea and discomfort in the right chest and back. On examination she had tachycardia, tachypnea, and hypoxia, with an absence of breath sounds on the right side. An anteroposterior chest radiograph showed a complete pneumothorax (Panel A, arrowheads), which resolved with a tube thoracostomy. Computed tomographic scans of the chest from previous hospitalizations showed a diffuse cystic intrapulmonary disease pattern consistent with pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (Panel B, arrows). After successful pulmonary re-expansion, the patient was discharged, but she returned within 1 week with bilateral pneumothoraxes. Pleurodesis was successful on the . . .

Public Library of Science launches “author pays” model
Authors: Lynn Eaton
Journal: BMJ (2004)

The Public Library of Science (PLoS) last week launched PLoS Medicine, an open access journal that will charge authors rather than readers.

PLoS Medicine will be published monthly, primarily as an internet journal (http://medicine.plosjournals.org), although print copies will be available at cost price.

It is the second journal from PLoS to challenge the traditional, subscription funded basis of most medical and science journals, including the BMJ and Lancet. The first, PLoS Biology, was launched last year.

The new journal finances itself by charging authors $1500 per paper published—a fee authors will be expected to budget for in their initial research applications to funding bodies.

We aren't the champions

Journal: BMJ (2009)

Summer’s lease hath all too short a date. Sure, Shakespeare was referring to something else entirely. But, still, his sublime words speak to the omnivorous consumer of sport. Because as autumn approaches so ends the balanced coverage of a variety of pursuits and fixtures: Wimbledon tennis, Ashes cricket, Tour de France cycling, and world championships in swimming, athletics, and rowing, to name just a few. All too quickly, thoughts of these will fade as, like competitions to come, they’re squeezed from the mind and the media by the …

In Vivo and in Vitro Effects of Thymosin and Adenosine Deaminase on Adenosine-Deaminase-Deficient Lymphocytes
Authors: Arye Rubinstein, Rochelle Hirschhorn, Marc Sicklick, Rae Ann Murphy
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (1979)

Two siblings with adenosine deaminase deficiency were studied before and during "enzyme replacement" therapy (partial exchange transfusions with normal red cells containing the missing enzyme). The younger sib showed improvement of immunologic function during red-cell therapy alone, whereas in the older sib this improvement occurred only when the transfusions were supplemented by thymosin injections. Their clinical courses correlated with in vitro findings: lymphocytes from the younger sib differentiated to T-cell-rosette-forming cells upon addition of adenosine deaminase alone; lymphocytes from the older sibling required supplemental thymosin to form these cells. Thymic factors appear to influence the response to transfusion therapy in some patients deficient in adenosine deaminase, and supplementation of red-cell transfusion with thymic factors may be required.
US council calls for four year ban on cloning
Authors: C. Marwick
Journal: BMJ (2002)

The long awaited report from President George Bush's Council on Bioethics has called for a four year moratorium on any human embryonic cloning, including research by the private sector as well as government financed research.

The report was issued earlier this month at the council's last meeting before the summer recess, after six months' deliberation. The decision on the moratorium was reached with a 10 to seven majority, with one abstention. The minority opinion recommended that research proceed but with appropriate oversight.

Council members rejected recommending an outright ban on cloning, the …

As a board-certified internist and anesthesiologist, I have come to realize the importance of a combined internal medicine-anesthesiology perioperative approach. In the past, these two fields have been separate. Given the present controversy about the usefulness of preoperative testing, I believe we should once again rely on our basic clinical skills.Let us step back for one moment from this technological approach and focus on our own medical intuition.

East meets West: infection, nerves, and mast cells in the irritable bowel syndrome
Authors: S M Collins
Journal: Gut (2004)

The incidence of irritable bowel syndrome following acute gastroenteritis in China is similar to that reported in the UK and North America

The irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most common gastroenterological disorder seen in Western societies where it imposes a major socioeconomic burden.1 The economic impact of IBS arises, at least in part, from difficulties in diagnosis and treatment, which in turn reflect our limited conceptualisation of this disorder. Recent studies have identified acute bacterial gastroenteritis as a strong risk factor for the development of IBS2 but evidence supporting this relationship is limited to studies performed in Western countries.3–7

Although IBS has received less attention in non-Western countries, available data suggest that it is common in the African continent,8–10 Malaysia,11 and China12 where the condition is significantly underdiagnosed by Western practitioners.13 This hesitation in diagnosing IBS in Eastern countries likely reflects uncertainty regarding the influence of culture and endemic infection on the clinical expression of IBS in these countries. Indeed, in countries where enteric parasitic infestation is common, there is controversy regarding the role of infection in the development of IBS, as eradication of the parasite may not improve IBS symptoms.14 However, studies in animal models suggest that the host response to the initial infection is a critical determinant of persistent gut dysfunction, and the continued presence of the parasite is not necessary for induction of a chronic dysfunctional …
Sexual health consultation for men who have sex with men
Authors: W. C W Wong, C. K Fairley
Journal: BMJ (2010)

A 28 year old man goes to his general practitioner for a general check up including tests for sexually transmitted infections. He discloses that he has had sex with men and is worried that a recent contact may have HIV. He has never been tested and has no genitourinary symptoms.

The unease a patient may associate with attendance at a genitourinary clinic means this presentation in general practice may be the only opportunity to manage him. General practitioners need to be conscious of their attitudes to men who have sex with men and of how comfortable they are taking their sexual history. It would be helpful to have information about local sexual health services as well as the post-exposure prophylaxis policy and provision by your accident and emergency department at hand.

Ask what prompted him to come for testing. Some specific significant event may be responsible, for example …
The Employee Health Service and Infection Control in US Hospitals, 1976-1977
Authors: Robert W. Haley
Journal: JAMA (1981)

To assess the extent to which US hospitals have established employee health services with infection control functions, we analyzed information obtained in the SENIC Project (Study on the Efficacy of Nosocomial Infection Control) from interviews with hospital officials and staff nurses in a representative sample of 433 hospitals. Sixty-eight percent of hospitals had a formal employee health service. The percentage routinely screening employees varied widely from the more common tests, such as the yearly chest roentgenogram (89%) and skin test (83%), to less common tests, including stool cultures (43%) and blood testing for hepatitis B (41%) and rubella (33%); 40% routinely obtained cultures of personnel. Although most hospitals appear to screen adequately, a sizeable minority either fail to employ recommended screening tests or continue unnecessary, expensive ones. (<i>JAMA</i>1981;246:844-847)
Malignant melanoma in the 1990s: the continued importance of early detection and the role of physician examination and self-examination of the skin
Authors: R. J. Friedman, D. S. Rigel, M. K. Silverman, A. W. Kopf, K. A. Vossaert
Journal: CA A Cancer Journal for Clinicians (1991)

Despite the exciting new techniques being developed to help diagnoseearly malignant melanoma, the current standard of care remains periodicexamination of the skin. The combination of routine physician examinationcoupled with self-examination of the skin provides an opportunity for theidentification of early malignant melanoma. Removal of such thin lesionscan significantly reduce the ever-increasing mortality rate from thispotentially serious form of cutaneous cancer.
The Value of SPECT Imaging in the Diagnosis of Hepatic Hemangioma
Authors: JACQUELINE C. BRUNETTI, RONALD L. Van HEERTUM, ANTHONY P. YUDD, AVRAM M. COOPERMAN
Journal: Clinical Nuclear Medicine (1988)

Radionuclide flow studies, planar, and SPECT hepatic blood pool imaging were peformed in 23 patients with 39 hepatic hemangiomas, 23 patients with primary and secondary liver tumors, 12 patients with hepatocellular disease, two patients with hepatic cysts, and 10 patients with no evidence of liver disease. The hepatic SPECT imaging identified all 39 hemangiomas as having a sequestration pattern compared with a yield of 69% (27 of 39 cases) for the planar imaging. None of the 47 other patients demonstrated this pattern. The SPECT approach is considered superior to planar blood pool imaging because of improved diagnostic yield, reduced patient imaging time, and greater ease of correlation with other cross-sectional imaging modalities.
THE APPLICATION OF TISSUE CULTURE TO THE STUDY OF EXPERIMENTAL ALLERGIC ENCEPHALOMYELITIS
Authors: Stanley H. Appel, Murray B. Bornstein
Journal: The Journal of Experimental Medicine (1964)

1. In the presence of a source of complement, the gamma 2 globulin fraction of rabbit EAE serum results in complete demyelination of myelinated cultures of rat cerebellum. Exposure of the serum to homologous or heterologous brain specifically removes the myelinotoxic activity whereas exposure to non-nervous tissue does not. Polylysine has no effect upon the cultures or upon the demyelinative potency of EAE, whereas heparin inhibits activity presumably through an effect on complement. 2. With the fluorescent antibody technique, the EAE globulins are specifically localized to the myelin sheaths and glial cell membranes during the process of demyelination. As demyelination proceeds, the globulins become localized within the neuroglia in a homogeneous manner which contrasts sharply with the punctate pattern observed in control experiments. 3. The "delayed sensitivity" and classical antibody interpretations of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis are discussed. It is suggested that several factors may be responsible for the pathogenesis of EAE, one of which may well be a myelinotoxic antibody.

Two kinds of “memory images”: Experimental models for hallucinations?
Authors: David Ingle
Journal: Behavioral and Brain Sciences (2005)

Collerton et al. postulate that in a variety of different clinical conditions, hallucinations are derived from object schema lodged in long-term memory. I review two new experiments in which memory images can be easily triggered in neurologically intact subjects. These examples of making visible items in memory may provide experimental models for genesis of hallucinations.
