Hospital liability for physician negligence
Authors: W. B. Smith
Journal: JAMA (1984)

ONCE upon a time, the law recognized that hospitals were places in which physicians practiced medicine. The hospital merely furnished the facilities for the treatment that independent practitioners provided to their patients. If the physician's treatment was not up to the standard of care of the medical profession, he alone might be liable to the patient. This article will attempt to show how our society—and American law—has departed from that former state of affairs. Hospitals have always been liable for their own negligence and the negligence of their employees. The hospital has always had the legal obligation to maintain its equipment and facilities in good condition and efficient working order. Thus, when defective equipment or supplies used in the hospital injured the patient, the hospital could be held liable. Over the years hospital equipment has become more complex, more powerful, and more sophisticated, thus requiring more careful use and maintenance.

Single-dose monovalent A 2 -Hong Kong influenza vaccine. Efficacy 14 months after immunization
Authors: H. M. Foy
Journal: JAMA (1971)

A controlled field study to evaluate the efficacy of a single dose of monovalent influenza A<sub>2</sub>/Hong Kong vaccine was conducted among Seattle area school children in late fall of 1968. Concurrent epidemics of influenza A and influenza B occurred from December 1968 through February of 1969. Approximately 14 months after administration of vaccine, an epidemic of influenza due to A<sub>2</sub>/Hong Kong strain occurred in this same population, with the epidemic peak in January 1970. This afforded us the opportunity to examine the long-term effect of the vaccine. Protection lasting 14 months after immunization was evident by (1) significantly less absenteeism from school, (2) 58% reduction of reported influenza-like illness, (3) 72% to 76% reduction in infection rates as estimated by serologic testing, and (4) 80% to 83% reduction in the rate of serologically confirmed influenza illness.
TRAVEL NOTES FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
Authors: NICHOLAS SENN
Journal: JAMA (1907)

<h3>VII. *PUNTA ARENAS; MEDICINE IN THE FAR SOUTH.</h3> I had the unusual privilege and opportunity of studying the Eskimos, their habits, customs and diseases in the far North two years ago, when I accompanied Commander Peary as far north as Etah in latitude 78° 40′, the uttermost northern limits of human habitations. I was consequently much pleased that our itinerary for this summer included Punta Arenas (Sandy Point), the most southern city on the globe. It is twelve hundred miles farther south than Buenos Aires and about the same distance nearer the South Pole than Cape Town at the southern extremity of the African continent. It is situated on Chilean soil on the Patagonian coast in the eastern part of the Strait of Magellan, about 125 miles from the entrance. The general aspect of the city reminds one of our new prosperous western towns. It is built on a gentle

Cardiovascular Deaths
Authors: D. A. Berberian
Journal: JAMA (1962)

<h3>To the Editor:—</h3> Your editorial entitled "The Water Factor and Cardiovascular Deaths" (<i>JAMA</i><b>178</b>: 1026 [Dec. 9] 1961) referred to studies in the United States, Japan, and England which indicated that soft drinking water was directly related to a high cardiovascular death rate. Hardness of water is primarily related to the amount of bicarbonates of Ca and Mg contained therein. Of the various elements found in natural water, Mg deficiency has been implicated repeatedly in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular dyscrasias. Magnesium ion is the second most abundant intracellular electrolyte and is essential for the activity of many intracellular enzyme systems of vital importance. Although a little more than 20 gm. of Mg is found in the body, only about 0.5 gm. is found in extracellular fluids; its concentration in human plasma is relatively low and stable. Magnesium content of the blood is essential for the function of the neuromuscular system
The diagnosis of stress fractures in athletes
Authors: M. D. Devereaux
Journal: JAMA (1984)

Eighteen patients with shin pain that was clinically considered to be caused by a stress fracture of the tibia or fibula underwent radiological, thermographic, and scintigraphic studies and a test of ultrasound-induced pain. When initially seen, 15 had stress fractures confirmed by scintigraphy. Of these, 12 had abnormal thermograms, eight had positive test results for ultrasound-induced pain, and seven had abnormal radiographs. Thermography used alone seemed to be a safe, rapid means of diagnosis for stress fractures in the tibia or fibula and was not found to be related to symptom duration. In the radiologically normal group of stress fractures, four (50%) had positive test results for ultrasound stress tests and normal thermograms. The combination of these two tests should provide an early method of detecting stress fractures in the tibia and fibula, thereby avoiding scintiscans in some athletes. (<i>JAMA</i>1984;252:531-533)

Antileprous Serum.
Authors: Albert S. Ashmead
Journal: JAMA (1897)

New York, Jan. 18, 1897. <h3>To the Editor:</h3> —Will you kindly state in your paper that I am considering the propriety of starting a Carrasquilla Institute in New York city. I have received from Dr. Carrasquilla of Bogota, Colombia, six consignments of antileprous serum, seventy-two bottles in all. Further consignments will be forthcoming at short intervals. Of the above consignments, I have sent a portion, respectively, to Dr. Hansen, Norway; Dr. O. Petersen, Inspector General of Leprosy for Russia, St. Petersburg; and the President of the Hawaiian Board of Health, Honolulu. These gentlemen will experiment with the serum and make a report of results obtained at the first Leprosy Congress, to be held in Moscow, August 19 to 26, 1897. Carrasquilla, in his latest letter to me, dated Dec. 13, 1896, says: "The efficacy of the antileprous serum tried for one year, on a large number of patients, leaves no

Surveillance of heroin-related deaths in Atlanta, 1971 to 1973
Authors: M. Alexander
Journal: JAMA (1974)

The pathophysiology of heroin "overdose" deaths is not fully understood. Surveillance of these deaths and of the heroin content of glassine bags available at the "street level" in Atlanta in the 1971-to-1973 period disclosed a significant correlation between the occurrence of such deaths and the amount of heroin contained in the bags (<i>P</i>&lt;.001). Case histories of one cluster of deaths suggest that novice users with a low level of opiate tolerance could have died from intake of amounts of heroin in excess of their tolerance. However, the data are also consistent with causes other than pharmacologic overdose. (<i>JAMA</i>229:677-678, 1974)
IgA Nephropathy
Authors: James V. Donadio, Joseph P. Grande
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (2002)

IgA nephropathy is the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis in the world and is also the most common cause of end-stage renal disease in patients with primary glomerulopathy. This article discusses current views on the pathogenesis, pathophysiology, clinical course, and treatment of this important glomerular disease. Although clinical trials have suggested that therapies such as glucocorticoids, n–3 fatty acids, and angiotensin-converting–enzyme inhibitors are efficacious, more definitive treatment is being sought.

QuickStats: Percentage* of Adults Aged 20–64 Years With a Fasting Test in the Past 12 Months for High Blood Sugar or Diabetes,† by Race/Ethnicity§ — National Health Interview Survey,¶ United States, 2011 and 2016
Journal: MMWR Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (2017)

The percentage of U.S. adults aged 20-64 years who had a fasting test for high blood sugar or diabetes in the past 12 months increased from 39.7% in 2011 to 45.7% in 2016. From 2011 to 2016, there was an increase in the percentage for all racial/ethnic groups examined: Hispanic (38.3% to 43.0%), non-Hispanic white (39.6% to 46.5%), non-Hispanic black (41.2% to 44.9%), and non-Hispanic Asian (41.5% to 49.6%) adults. In 2011, there was no statistically significant difference among the four groups examined, but in 2016, Hispanic adults were less likely than non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic Asian adults to have had a fasting test, and non-Hispanic Asian adults were more likely than non-Hispanic black adults to have had one.
Air Bags
Authors: Lee N. Hames
Journal: JAMA (1970)

Before the reader settles down to thinking that he is reading about some errant condition of the lungs, it should be explained that the title is rather an inelegant, but certainly descriptive, name for what is officially called the Inflatable Occupant Restraint System for Automotive Vehicles. Some years ago, safety belts seemed to be a real panacea for reducing injury and death in automotive crashes, and they have been exactly that in literally thousands of cases where they were given the opportunity. However, it soon became obvious that, in spite of large-scale promotional efforts, only a small percentage of the motoring public was taking full advantage of this excellent protection, and experts have been vigorously searching for an acceptable passive-restraint system which would not require the cooperation of automobile occupants. Many types of systems have been suggested, ranging from complicated Rube Goldberg devices to simple improvements in the present belt
Marine rear guard escapes serious injury while covering UN evacuation from Somalia
Authors: P. Gunby
Journal: JAMA (1995)

THE MARINES covering evacuation of the last United Nations (UN) peacekeepers from Somalia were in turn covered by military medicine. The last US Marines to leave the beaches of the civil war—torn African country, despite being under fire from some Somali clan members, suffered only sprains, bruises, minor burns from back-flashes of their own rapid-fire weapons, and—in two or three instances—heat exhaustion from the 28°C (82°F) temperatures combined with the 80% humidity, says Steven L. Nichols, MD, a US Navy commander. Nichols is CATF (Commodore, [three-ship] Amphibious Task Force) surgeon aboard the USS<i>Essex</i>, an amphibious assault ship whose nearly 2000 US Marine Corps troops were the last to leave the land where UN forces have sought since 1992 to help feed the population and end interclan fighting (<i>JAMA</i>. 1993; 269:2833-2838 and 270:2531, 2535).

A seroepidemiologic study of infectious mononucleosis. The development of EB virus antibody in a military population
Authors: D. E. Lehane
Journal: JAMA (1970)

Paired serum samples from 110 Marine recruits and 459 Vietnam veterans were tested for the development of EB virus (EBV) antibody. The socioeconomic background of recruits was found to be low. There is a high prevalence, 85.7%, of preexisting antibody in recruits. This suggests low socioeconomic background predisposes individuals to development of EBV antibody at an early age. Despite the low susceptibility rate, the incidence of infectious mononucleosis for recruits is 18.5 per 1,000 and for Vietnam veterans 23.8 per 1,000. The incidence of EBV antibody seroconversion was ten times greater than reported hospitalization rates.

银屑病护理中的健康素养
Authors: M.H. Larsen, Y.A.S. Strumse, C.R. Borge, R. Osborne, M.H. Andersen, A.K. Wahl
Journal: British Journal of Dermatology (2019)

银屑病是一种慢性皮肤炎症性疾病,在斯堪的纳维亚和英国约有2%至3%银屑病患者。治疗通常需要患者进行高水平的自我管理(如在家涂药)。银屑病具有多种不同的治疗选项、共病(和银屑病一起出现的其他疾病)及生活方式建议,这可能对患者来说很难处理。健康素养(HL)是指获取、理解和应用健康信息的能力。在多种慢性疾病中HL较低与健康结局更差(是指治疗不成功)相关,但尚未在银屑病患者中进行研究。这项挪威研究旨在分析银屑病患者的 HL 优势和不足。该研究包括 825 名中度至重度银屑病患者,他们从2011至2016年在大加那利岛参与了“气候日光治疗”(使用自然日光)。所有完成的问卷和健康素养问卷(HLQ)都评估了HL。该研究发现,HL更高预示生活质量和银屑病知识更高。性别、教育程度、年龄和疾病严重度对健康素养没有影响。研究表明,提高HL可能有助于加强银屑病自我管理。旨在降低疾病严重度和增加银屑病知识、自我管理和生活质量的干预可能会使 HL 积极增加。
Double blind comparative study of omeprazole and ranitidine in patients with duodenal or gastric ulcer: a multicentre trial. Cooperative study group.
Authors: M Daly
Journal: Gut (1990)

Abstract We studied omeprazole and ranitidine in promoting duodenal ulcer healing in a multicentre trial by comparing the proportion of healed ulcers after two, four, and eight weeks of treatment. Altogether, 194 patients (143 men) were randomly allocated according to a prearranged treatment schedule to either drug and were treated double blind. Each received 40 mg omeprazole in the morning and a ranitidine placebo morning and evening or 150 mg ranitidine morning and evening with an omeprazole placebo in the morning. A total of 188 patients (94 taking omeprazole, 94 taking ranitidine) completed the trial. Sixty four (68%) omeprazole treated and 45 (48%) ranitidine treated patients had healed ulcers at two weeks, 91 (99%) omeprazole treated and 79 (88%) ranitidine treated had healed ulcers by four weeks, and 91 (100%) omeprazole treated and 86 (97%) ranitidine treated patients had healed ulcers by eight weeks. The overall difference in healing rates was significant (p = 0.0008, Mantel-Haenszel test). The differences were significant also at two weeks (20%, 95% confidence interval 5.6 to 34.4, p less than 0.01) and at four weeks (11%, 95% CI 3.7 to 17.3, p less than 0.01), but not at eight weeks (3%, 95% CI -0.5 to + 7.3, p = 0.25), using the chi 2 statistic, the study having a power to detect a 20% difference on 90% of occasions. After two weeks of treatment complete symptom relief was observed in 70 (74%) patients receiving omeprazole and in 58 (62%) receiving ranitidine. Diary cards showed a significantly lower percentage of days with pain in the omeprazole treated group (7.4% v 21.4%, p < 0.02) when assessed over either the first two weeks or over weeks three and four treatment. A total of 144 patients with healed duodenal ulcer were followed up, with no treatment, for six months. At the end of this period 19 (26%) of 74 patients healed with omeprazole and 17 (24%) of 70 patients healed with ranitidine were still in remission. A similar protocol was used for 46 patients (25 men) with gastric ulcer who were randomly allocated to treatment with omeprazole or ranitidine as described above. Forty patients (16 omeprazole, 24 ranitidine) completed trial. Thirteen (81%) omeprazole treated and 14 (58%) ranitidine treated patients had healed ulcers at four weeks; at eight weeks 14 (93%) omeprazole treated and 20 (87%) ranitidine treated patients had healed ulcers. These differences were not significant at four weeks (p = 0.25) or eight weeks (p = 0.96). Twenty seven gastric ulcer patients were followed up for six months and seven (58%) of the 12 omeprazole healed and five (33%) of the 15 ranitidine healed patients were in remission at six months. Unwanted adverse events were trivial except for one fatality in a 67 year old women, who died from bronchopneumonia and myocardial ischaemia while receiving treatment with omeprazole, which was judged to be unrelated to her death.
<i>Announcement</i>: National Birth Defects Prevention Month and Folic Acid Awareness Week — January 2018
Journal: MMWR Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (2018)

The Zika virus outbreak and response led to renewed focus on how infections can increase the risk for having a baby born with a birth defect."Prevent Infections for Baby's Protection" is the theme of January 2018's National Birth Defects Prevention Month.Birth defects are common, costly, and critical conditions that affect one in 33 U.S. babies annually (1).Not all birth defects can be prevented, but women can increase their chances of having a healthy baby by reducing their risk for getting infections before and during pregnancy.Women who are pregnant or might become pregnant can take the following steps to prevent infections: talk to their health care provider about how they can reduce their risk for infections; get vaccinated to help protect against influenza (2) and pertussis (3); protect themselves from insects, such as mosquitoes, known to carry infections, including Zika (4); and reduce contact with saliva and urine from babies and young children to prevent infections such as cytomegalovirus (5).CDC encourages everyone to join this nationwide effort to raise awareness of birth defects, their causes, and their impact.Additional information is available at https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/birthdefects/prevention-month.html.
