Factors that prompted families to file medical malpractice claims following perinatal injuries
Authors: G. B. Hickson
Journal: JAMA (1992)

<h3>Objective.</h3> —To identify self-reported reasons that prompt families to file malpractice claims following perinatal injuries. <h3>Design.</h3> —Families were interviewed by telephone using a questionnaire that contained structured and open-ended questions. <h3>Participants.</h3> —Mothers of infants who had experienced permanent injuries or deaths and had closed malpractice claims in Florida between 1986 and August 1989 were interviewed. Questionnaires were completed by 127 (35%) of a total of 368 such families. <h3>Outcome Measures.</h3> —Reasons prompting families to file and families' descriptions of medical events, advice from acquaintances, and the quality of physician-family communication. <h3>Results.</h3> —Families volunteered numerous reasons for filing: advised by knowledgeable acquaintances (33% of respondents), recognized cover-up (24%), needed money (24%), recognized that their child would have no future (23%), needed information (20%), and decided to seek revenge or protect others from harm (19%). Over one third of all families indicated that they were told by medical personnel prior to filing that the care provided had caused their children's injuries. Families expressed dissatisfaction with physician-patient communication. Families believed that physicians would not listen (13% of sample), would not talk openly (32%), attempted to mislead them (48%), or did not warn about long-term neurodevelopmental problems (70%). <h3>Conclusion.</h3> —Families give many reasons for filing a claim. Obtaining money may not be the only goal for some families who file suit. (<i>JAMA</i>. 1992;267:1359-1363)

COMMITTEE ON MATERNAL WELFARESeptic Abortion, InducedAn eighteen-year-old unmarried gravida 1 was alleged to have been in good general health and to have had no difficulties during gestation except for troublesome nausea and vomiting, until less than forty-eight hours before death at sixteen weeks. Recently, she had used one vaginal suppository of unknown composition because of a discharge. The terminal illness began when she fell on the ice without sustaining apparent injury, but that afternoon she passed a small, well formed fetus, followed shortly by a large blood clot and possibly other tissue. The next morning she ate little, . . .
Mottled areas of intra-abdominal calcification
Authors: K. S. Oh
Journal: JAMA (1969)

Dr. Robert J. Cihak: This case is being presented for discussion of the roentgenograms without benefit of a clinical history, except that the patient is a 60-year-old man. <h3>Discussion</h3> Dr. Laurence L. Robbins: Here is a challenge for you, Dr. Janower. Dr. Murray L. Janower: The posteroanterior and lateral views of the chest reveal evidence of chronic lung disease and a remote fracture of the left clavicle. There are mottled punctuate calcifications in the upper portion of the abdomen varying in size from pin-head to about 7 mm (Fig 1). The calcifications are most prominent in the right upper quadrant but do extend across the midline at the level of the second lumbar vertebral body. The spleen and retroperitoneal structures are normal. The lateral view of the abdomen shows the calcifications to be farther anteriorly than one would expect for renal, adrenal, or, more likely, pancreatic calcification. The rest of
Abstract 16967: Increased Blood Pressure Variability is Associated With Worse Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Authors: Adam de Havenon, Haimei Wang, Greg Stoddard, Lee Chung, Jennifer Majersik
Journal: Circulation (2015)

Background: Increased blood pressure variability (BPV) is detrimental in the weeks to months after ischemic stroke, but it has not been adequately studied in the acute phase. We hypothesized that increased BPV in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients would be associated with worse outcome. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed inpatients at our hospital between 2010-2014 with an ICD-9 code of AIS; 213 were confirmed to have AIS by a vascular neurologist. A modified Rankin Score (mRS) after discharge was available in 148/213, at a mean of 86 ± 60 days. In 45/213 the discharge mRS was either 0 or 6, in which case they were included in the final analysis. BPV was measured as the standard deviation (SD) of each patient’s systolic blood pressure readings during the first 24 hours and 5 days of hospitalization (9,844 total readings), or until discharge if discharged in &lt;5 days (Figure 1). The SBP SD was further divided in quartiles. A multivariate ordinal logistic regression with the outcome of mRS, the primary predictor of quartiles of SBP SD, and baseline NIH stroke scale (NIHSS) to control for initial stroke severity. Results: Mean±SD age was 64.2 ± 16.3 years, NIHSS was 12.6 ± 7.9, and mRS was 2.7 ± 2.1. The mean SBP SDs for the first 24 hours and 5 days were 12.1 ± 6.2 mm Hg and 14.1 ± 4.9 mm Hg. In the ordinal logistic regression model, the quartiles of SBP SD for the first 24 hours and 5 days were positively associated with higher mRS (OR = 1.37, 95% CI 1.01 - 1.74, p = 0.009; OR = 1.30, 95% CI 1.03 - 1.63, p = 0.028). This effect became even more pronounced in patients with the highest quartile of variability (OR = 2.76, 95% CI 1.29 - 5.88, p = 0.009; OR = 2.10, 95% CI 1.01 - 4.36, p = 0.046). Conclusion: In our cohort of 193 patients with AIS, there was a significant association between increased systolic BPV and worse functional outcome, after controlling for initial stroke severity. This data suggests that increased BPV may have a harmful effect for AIS patients, which warrants a prospective observational study.

CONGENITAL TEETH.
Authors: E. S. McKEE
Journal: JAMA (1897)

The following case was presented by the writer to the Cincinnati Obstetrical Society at its April meeting Feb. 22, 1896. Mrs. L. 2-para, bore at eighth month gestation, twins. Both were male and were soon delivered, the first presenting a vertex and the second a shoulder necessitating turning. One was immediately observed to have two inferior incisor teeth presenting. The children were small and poorly developed. The mother was a very small woman. The teeth were both very loose and in continual danger of dropping out. One disappeared at the tenth week, probably being swallowed; the other remained<i>in situ</i>until the death of the child, which occurred at the twelfth week; it died in convulsions away from home and the physician who was sent for ascribed the cause of death to meningitis. Premature labor in this case, as that of Crausius, occurred at the eighth month. Helwig at the

The FitzPatrick Lectures ON GREEK MEDICINE IN ROME: Delivered at the Royal College of Physicians of London
Authors: T. C. Allbutt
Journal: BMJ (1909)

PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS,-AS Coleridge said of Greek literature so of Greek medicine, it was " a superfetation upon, and not an ingredient in the national character."The first physicians to wend their way to Rome were among those who we know were employed about the gymnasia and the arena.'But on the common knowledge of the standard histories, the trita 8cholarum, I will forbear to dwell.Archagathus arrived in Rome about 220 B.C., some twenty years after the Punic war for the cornlands of Sicily.He was one of the first to feel the brunt of Roman indignation at the blasphemy of mistrusting the protecting gods, and at the impiety of supplanting the tried resources of the Penates.Was it only this prejudice which turned his title of " Vulnerarius " into that of " Carnifex " ?Was he so barbarous a surgeon, or was this story only Pliny's fun ?For, on the other hand, he certainly was accepted as a Roman citizen, and a taberna was assigned to him at the State expense in the city near the Forum Marcelli.Whether or not he was subsidized as a public physician-8&poo-tevcwv-after the Greek fashion, is an interesting question; for if so, as we shall see later, this office must in Rome itself, though not in the provinces, have fallen soon into desuetude.

Accidental Hypothermia
Authors: Leonard D. Hudson
Journal: JAMA (1974)

Sixteen patients with accidental hypothermia were admitted to the medical service of a general hospital in a one-year period. Analysis of the clinical status of the patients and the associated disease states showed that the underlying disease was more important in determining survival than the method of rewarming. Seven of eight patients with marked underlying organ system disease died, while all eight patients without severe organic disease survived even though the degree of hypothermia and time required for rewarming were similar in the two series. Slow passive rewarming is adequate therapy for most hypothermic patients, and major therapeutic efforts should be directed at underlying disease processes rather than the physiologic response to hypothermia.

Plasma cell dyscrasias
Authors: B. Barlogie
Journal: JAMA (1992)

PLASMA cell dyscrasias refer to a spectrum of disorders characterized by the monoclonal proliferation of lymphoplasmacytic cells in the bone marrow and, sometimes, tissue deposition of monoclonal immunoglobulins or their components (Table 21-1). The disorders include multiple myeloma (MM) and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, as well as rare conditions such as light-chain deposition disease (LCDD) and heavy-chain diseases (HCDs). Amyloidosis refers to a group of tissue deposition disorders, among which light-chain amyloidosis is a plasma cell dyscrasia. Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance is an asymptomatic laboratory deviation that may evolve into one of the previously mentioned diseases. <h3>MULTIPLE MYELOMA</h3> Multiple myeloma is the most serious and prevalent plasma cell dyscrasia, affecting approximately four of 100 000 Americans each year (Table 21-2). The median age at onset is 60 years, and black persons are affected twice as often as white persons. Symptoms usually result from lytic bone disease, anemia, renal failure, and immunodeficiency.

Search begins for 'silent' endocrine infections; molecular probes seek evidence of viruses
Authors: C. A. Raymond
Journal: JAMA (1987)

AFTER A DECADE of research, investigators from the Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation in La Jolla, Calif, are on the brink of clinical testing of a novel hypothesis of viral infection. They will be collecting tissue samples to search for evidence of so-called "silent infections." Many have speculated on the possibility that human endocrine disorders, including diabetes, were caused by viruses (<i>JAMA</i>1978;240:1219-1225). While rare cases of virus-induced diabetes have been reported (<i>N Engl J Med</i>1979;300:1173-1179;<i>Lancet</i>1980;2:354-358), in most instances, people suffering from such disorders simply don't have the usual evidence of viral infection— cell lysis, necrosis, and inflammation. Abner L. Notkins, MD, a diabetes specialist with the National Institute for Dental Research in Bethesda, Md., is rooting for the Scripps group. He thinks their work "is at the very frontier" and may eventually add a "new dimension" to the way clinicians look at disease. However, it is

Pneumococcal disease in a medium-sized community in the United States
Authors: M. A. Mufson
Journal: JAMA (1982)

To assess the importance of bacteremic pneumococcal disease among the population of one "average" American community, we studied all hospitalized patients who had<i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>isolated from blood, CSF, pleural fluid, or ascitic fluid during the years 1978 through 1981 in Huntington, WVa, and environs. Seventeen patients were children younger than 13 years, and 71 were adults. The case fatality rate from bacteremic pneumococcal disease among adults was 30%, and among children it was 6%. It was much higher (88%) in adults older than 50 years with extrapulmonary disease. Approximately four fifths of the typed isolates from adults or children were types included in the current vaccine. Eighty-nine percent of the adults who died of pneumococcal infection had been candidates for pneumococcal vaccine, but only one patient had received vaccine, just before becoming ill with pneumococcal disease. These data provide a basis for widespread use of pneumococcal vaccine in high-risk groups. (<i>JAMA</i>1982;248:1486-1489)
