She was one of three girls delivered that day by a midwife who stated that all three were hexed: the first would die before her sixteenth birthday, the second before her 21st birthday, and the third (the patient) before her 23rd birthday. The first two girls had died within 1 day of the day predicted, the third (BCH #469861) was terrified. On the day before her 23rd birthday, while in the hospital, she...References1.

A description of eating disorders in 1932
Authors: A Stunkard
Journal: American Journal of Psychiatry (1990)

This article consists of a shortened and annotated translation of a paper on "An Interesting Oral Symptom Complex and Its Relationship to Addiction" by M. Wulff of Berlin, which was delivered before the German Psychoanalytic Society on April 12, 1932. The article describes four cases of an eating disorder in women that was characterized by binge eating, hypersomnolence, apathetic depression, and disparagement of the body image. After the eating binges, all four patients manifested periods of fasting, and two of the three, about whom such information is available, vomited. Translations of large excerpts of the case histories are presented together with a summary of Wulff's discussion.
PWE-418 Endoscopy training in the uk; the joint advisory group on gastrointestinal endoscopy national survey
Authors: RP Jones, NA Stylianides, AG Robertson, VS Yip, G Chadwick
Journal: Gut (2015)

<h3>Introduction</h3> Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is an important skill for both gastroenterologists and general surgeons but concerns have been raised about the provision and delivery of training. This survey aimed to evaluate and compare the delivery of endoscopy training to gastroenterology and surgical trainees within the UK. <h3>Method</h3> A nationwide electronic survey of UK gastroenterology and general surgical trainees. <h3>Results</h3> There were 216 responses (33% gastroenterology, 67% surgical). Gastroenterology trainees attended more endoscopy lists (mean 3.0 vs. 1.2) and training lists than surgical trainees (0.9 vs. 0.5). A significantly higher proportion of gastroenterologists than surgeons had already achieved accreditation in gastroscopy (60.8% vs. 28.9%), colonoscopy (66.7% vs. 1.4%) and flexible sigmoidoscopy (33.3% vs. 3.0%). More gastroenterology trainees than surgical trainees aspired to achieve accreditation in gastroscopy (97.2% vs. 79.2%), flexible sigmoidoscopy (91.7% vs. 70.1%) and colonoscopy (88.8% vs. 55.5%) by completion of training. By completion of training, surgeons were less likely than gastroenterologists to have completed the required number of procedures to gain accreditation in gastroscopy (60.3% vs. 91.3%), flexible sigmoidoscopy (64.6% vs. 68.6%) and colonoscopy (60.3% vs. 70.3%). <h3>Conclusion</h3> This survey highlights marked disparities between surgical and gastroenterology trainees in both aiming for and achieving accreditation in endoscopy. Without changes to the delivery and provision of training, as well as clarification of the role of endoscopy training within a surgical training programme, future surgeons will not be able to perform essential endoscopic assessment of patients as part of their management algorithm. <h3>Disclosure of interest</h3> None Declared.

Health committee chair defects to Remain campaign over untrue health claims
Authors: Jacqui Wise
Journal: BMJ (2016)

The former GP and Conservative MP Sarah Wollaston has defected to the Remain campaign in the UK referendum to leave the European Union, branding the claims about the benefits to healthcare of “Brexit” as “shameful.”

Wollaston, who chairs the House of Commons Health Committee, said that Vote Leave’s claim that Brexit would free up £350m (€450m; $510m) a week for the UK health services wasn’t true. The UK statistics watchdog and the Treasury select committee have urged Vote Leave to stop using the …
Statins could be new treatment option in women with oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer
Authors: Zosia Kmietowicz
Journal: BMJ (2016)

Researchers have called for clinical trials into the effects of statins in women with recurrent breast cancer, after finding that these cancers can make a molecule from cholesterol that mimics oestrogen.

As many as 40 000 women in the United Kingdom have oestrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer diagnosed each year, and many are treated after surgery with tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors to block the effects of oestrogen and to reduce the risk of recurrent disease. But, even after endocrine treatment, around 12 000 women with ER positive breast cancer have a recurrence.

AB0592 Role of Immunoglobulin and Complement Deposits in Activity, Chronicity and Classes of Lupus Nephritis
Authors: M.U. Martinez Martinez, A.N. Rangel-Botello, G. Felix-Rodríguez, H.E. Esparza-Holguín, D.A. Herrera-van Oostdam, D. Martínez-Galla, C. Abud-Mendoza
Journal: Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases (2015)

<h3>Background</h3> Immune deposits for immunoglobulin (Ig) classes (IgG, IgM and IgA) and complement components (C3 and C1q) are a main feature of lupus nephritis (LN). The glomerular intensity of these deposits can be associated with the pathogenesis and prognosis of LN. <h3>Objectives</h3> The main objective of this study was to evaluate the association of the intensity of Ig and complement deposits with activity, chronicity (Austin et al.<sup>1</sup>) and the classes of LN (ISN/RPS classification). <h3>Methods</h3> Registries of all biopsies of LN performed the last five years were evaluated. All biopsies were classified according to the ISN/RPS classification; immunofluorescences were semi-quantitatively graded from 0 to 4 according to the intensity of fluorescence. Activity and chronicity indices (AI and CI) were recorded for proliferative classes (class II, IV or their combinations) according to Austin et al.<sup>1</sup> Correlation was evaluated through Spearman9s rho (r), and non-parametric statistics were performed for continuous variables. <h3>Results</h3> We included 90 biopsies of LN patients: 3 class I, 4 class II, 7 class III, 15 class III/V, 29 class IV, 17 class IV/V and 15 pure class V. For the 68 proliferative LN biopsies (class III, IV and combination with V) the median (IQR) activity was 7 (4-11) and chronicity 3 (1-5). Ig and complement deposits were similar between the classes of LN. Correlation between activity and intensity of Ig or complement components were: IgM r=0.35 (p=0.006), IgA r=0.0211 (p=0.873), IgG r=0.069 (p=0.599), C1q r=0.239 (p=0.065), and C3 r=0.168 (p=0.195). Correlation between chronicity and Ig or complement components were as follows: IgM r= -0.109 (p=0.384), IgA r=0.295 (p=0.017), IgG r=-0.132 (p=0.288), C1q r=-0.136 (p=0.276), C3 r= -0.200 (p=0.104). Figure 1 shows the positive association between IgM and activity of LN. <h3>Conclusions</h3> The positive association between activity of LN and IgM, suggests that this immunoglobulin may participate in both prognosis and the histologic changes described for activity of LN such as proliferation, cellular crescents, interstitial inflammation and others. <h3>References</h3> Austin H, et al.

Cancer vaccines
Authors: L. H. Butterfield
Journal: BMJ (2015)

Cancer vaccines are designed to promote tumor specific immune responses, particularly cytotoxic CD8 positive T cells that are specific to tumor antigens. The earliest vaccines, which were developed in 1994-95, tested non-mutated, shared tumor associated antigens that had been shown to be immunogenic and capable of inducing clinical responses in a minority of people with late stage cancer. Technological developments in the past few years have enabled the investigation of vaccines that target mutated antigens that are patient specific. Several platforms for cancer vaccination are being tested, including peptides, proteins, antigen presenting cells, tumor cells, and viral vectors. Standard of care treatments, such as surgery and ablation, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, can also induce antitumor immunity, thereby having cancer vaccine effects. The monitoring of patients' immune responses at baseline and after standard of care treatment is shedding light on immune biomarkers. Combination therapies are being tested in clinical trials and are likely to be the best approach to improving patient outcomes.

The value of hospital-based treatment for the homeless mentally ill
Authors: M I Bennett, J E Gudeman, L Jenkins, A Brown, M B Bennett
Journal: American Journal of Psychiatry (1988)

The access of the homeless mentally ill to the benefits of psychiatric hospitalization has been excessively limited by deinstitutionalization, the devaluation of the benefits of inpatient evaluation and treatment, a shortage of public-sector psychiatric beds, and a tendency to regard the homeless mentally ill as untreatable. A pilot program was devised to increase the access of the homeless mentally ill to short-term hospital-based treatment within a public mental health system in which beds are in short supply. The program's usefulness demonstrates the value of hospital-based treatment for this population and suggests that hospital-based treatment is currently underutilized.
Peroral pancreatoscopy with electrohydraulic lithotripsy for pancreatic duct stone after placement of fully covered self-expandable metal stent
Authors: Seung Shin, Jae Cho, Yeon Kim
Journal: Endoscopy (2015)

A 51-year-old man with abdominal pain was admitted for treatment of alcohol-related chronic pancreatitis with acute exacerbation. The acute episode was caused by a large impacted stone of 1.1 cm in diameter within the proximal main pancreatic duct ([Fig. 1]). Stricture of the duct downstream from the stone was noted on initial endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) ([Fig. 2]).
AB0593 Non-Typhoid Salmonella Infections in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients. a Retrospective, 20 Years Study
Authors: M. Olejárová, V. Henyšová
Journal: Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases (2015)

<h3>Background</h3> Non-typhoid salmonellosis is a frequent infection complication in SLE. The extraintestinal manifestations and sepsis are more frequent in SLE than simple gastroenteritis. SLE was identified to be an important risk factor of salmonella generalisation together with glucocorticosteroids treatment or liver cirrhosis. <h3>Objectives</h3> The objective of the study was to study the SLE patients with the history of non-typhoid salmonellosis and to determine the population in the highest risk. <h3>Methods</h3> A retrospective study of the medical database of the Institute of Rheumatology over the years 1995-2015 was performed. All SLE patients who undergone non-typhoid salmonellosis were identified. The patients who did not fulfill the classification criteria of SLE or had non-typhoid salmonellosis in the past were not included into the study. In the patient, the demographic and clinical data were collated and the activity using SLEDAI and damage (SLICC) were evaluated. <h3>Results</h3> We have identified 20 SLE patients, 3 males and 17 females in which the non-typhoid salmonellosis was confirmed. Mean age of the group was 35,9±12,2 years, mean duration of the disease 5,4±7,1years. Only 6 patients experienced gastroenteritis, 3 patients had urinary infection, 2 had septic gonitis, 6 had sepsis, 2 had infected skin defects and 1 had absces of a lower limb. The detailed clinical and laboratory data were available in 18 patients, in which the activity and damage were evaluated. The activity of the group was high (SLEDAI 10,9±6,6), but the SLICC was only 1,1±1,0. We have identified two different types of SLE patients. First was a group of patients with severe SLE disease (lupus nephritis, vasculitis), high activity and usually treated with high doses of glucocorticosteroids. In the other subgroup of patients (n=5) the salmonellosis induced the symptoms SLE which was later diagnosed, or in one case of patient with RA induced an overlap of RA and SLE. <h3>Conclusions</h3> The non-typhoid salmonellosis is a relativelly common agent of infective complications of SLE. It may result from an immunodeficiency due to SLE or treatment with immunosupressive drugs including GC, but on the other hand, the salmonellosis may be also a triggering moment of induction or flare of lupus. Every patient with salmonella infection should be treated very carefully. <h3>Acknowledgements</h3> This work was supported by the project (Ministry of Health, Czech Republic) for consensual development of research organization 023728. <h3>Disclosure of Interest</h3> None declared
Antacid Therapy
Authors: John F. Morrissey, Robert F. Barreras
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (1974)

THE management of disease due to the action of acid and pepsin on the gut involves a variety of maneuvers, which are intended either to decrease hydrogen ion and peptic activity or to increase the ability of the gut to deal with and resist the effects of these agents. The choice and timing of these maneuvers is a complex art involving a variety of pharmacologic, surgical, dietary, psychologic and social manipulations. We wish to focus on the way in which one group of pharmacologic agents, the antacids, may be used to manage acid-peptic disease.There is agreement that eating or . . .
