Invasion of the central nervous system by Borrelia burgdorferi in acute disseminated infection
Authors: B. J. Luft
Journal: JAMA (1992)

<h3>Objective.</h3> —To determine central nervous system (CNS) involvement in acutely disseminated<i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i>infection by measurement of borrelia-specific DNA using the polymerase chain-reaction (PCR) assay and to compare the results of this with standard serological tests. <h3>Design.</h3> —Prospective study with laboratory investigators blinded to clinical data. <h3>Setting.</h3> —Multicenter office practice with a central reference laboratory. <h3>Patients.</h3> —Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was collected from 12 patients with acute disseminated Lyme borreliosis with less than 2 weeks of active disease. The normal control specimens came from 16 patients whose CSF samples had been sent to the clinical laboratory for tests unrelated to the present study. <h3>Main Outcome Measures.</h3> —Clinical evidence of disease and laboratory abnormalities. <h3>Results.</h3> —Eight of the 12 patients (four of six with multiple areas of erythema migrans and four of six with cranial neuritis without erythema migrans) had<i>B burgdorferi</i>—specific DNA in their CSF. Among the 12 patients studied, nine had acute cranial neuritis and six had multiple erythema migrans lesions. Just four of the eight who were found to have spirochetal DNA in their CSF had complaints suggestive of CNS infection. In three of the PCR-positive CSF samples, no other abnormalities were noted. None of 16 samples from controls were positive in the PCR assay. <h3>Conclusion.</h3> —<i>B burgdorferi</i>can invade the CNS early in the course of infection. Careful consideration should be given to choosing antibiotics that achieve adequate CSF levels in patients with disseminated infection. (<i>JAMA</i>. 1992;267:1364-1367)
Family Planning
Authors: Leona Baumgartner
Journal: JAMA (1966)

The recent White House conference on Health was the first governmentally sponsored conference to have a special panel devoted to "family planning." The subject for years had been talked of in Washington largely behind closed doors. The marked shift in the previous three years in the attitudes of the country's economic, spiritual, social, professional, and political leaders, as well as the public, and the openness of discussion in the mass media had made more open discussion in governmental circles possible. The subject was considered under the topic of Health Protection. The panel included members of all religious groups. The rapporteur was a Catholic physician. At one point in the discussion, a Catholic nun told of the clinic run by their hospital. Certainly, a few years ago, discussion on this subject would have been of quite a different nature. The findings of this panel, agreed to by all members, and with

Avoidable blindness.
Authors: A R Potter
Journal: BMJ (1991)

recommended treatment with high doses of zidovudine,'" 16 a practice that must now be questioned given that in adults low doses may be adequate.Multicentre trials are urgently needed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of zidovudine in children with early HIV disease.On 31 December 1990, 32 countries reported a total of 2120 cases of AIDS in children under 13 years of age, half of whom were Romanian children with iatrogenically acquired disease.7The outbreaks of nosocomial HIV infection in Romania and the Soviet Union highlight the continued need for screening of blood donors and for adequate sterilisation of medical equipment.Much has been learnt about vertically transmitted HIV disease, and large cohorts of children with horizontal transmission of HIV now need studying.So far little attention has been paid to the problem of HIV infection and adolescents.A more complete understanding of the current epidemiology and natural course of HIV disease in this population is urgently required, followed by attempts to ascertain how best to care for infected adolescents.Only then can services be planned for those children now infected who may reach adolescence.Although the longer term outlook remains unknown, HIV infection appears compatible with prolonged survival, with or without medical intervention.With this will come clinical, psychological, and social problems-for example, are staff and parents prepared to integrate children and adolescents infected with HIV into mainstream schools?And what are the financial implications of caring for "AIDS orphans"-young people who are not themselves infected with HIV but have lost one or both parents from AIDS?The World Health Organisation estimates that in the 1990s more than a million uninfected children will be orphaned throughout the world as their infected parents die of AIDS.'"
Selective portal vein embolization with absolute ethanol induces hepatic hypertrophy and makes more extensive hepatectomy possible
Authors: K Ogasawara, J Uchino, Y Une, Y Fujioka
Journal: Hepatology (1996)

Portal vein embolization has been used recently to decrease the amount of the liver to be resected and to enhance the function of the remaining hypertrophied lobes. We have observed a strong contact destructivity of absolute ethanol and used it for portal vein embolization. The present study was performed to produce hepatic hypertrophy and to show histopathologic changes that follow ethanol embolization of rat liver. Hepatic proliferation and histopathology were studied in rats receiving low and high doses of absolute ethanol via portal vein and rats undergoing 70% hepatectomy alone. The liver weight of the unresected and unembolized lobes increased rapidly after embolization and hepatectomy. Although the increase was more rapid in the high-dose group than the low-dose group in early days, the final results were not different from each other and were almost equal to those after hepatectomy. Complete obstruction of portal venous branches and massive necrosis were the main histopathologic observations after portal vein embolization with all doses of ethanol. Because the mortality rate in the low-dose group was lower than in the high-dose group and extensive necrosis of the liver parenchyma and subsequent regeneration was sufficient, using minimum dose of ethanol was much safer. Based on the biochemical and hematologic parameters, portal vein embolization with low-dose ethanol did not impair liver function more than hepatectomy alone during the initial 14 days. Portal vein embolization with absolute ethanol makes more extensive hepatectomy possible by reducing the volume necessary to resect and preserves the function of the remaining liver.

Psychological aspects of cancer therapy. A surgeon's viewpoint
Authors: J. S. Stehlin
Journal: JAMA (1966)

No surgeon can observe and treat many patients with cancer without realizing the tremendous emotional impact of the word "cancer" itself upon its victims. Major nonmalignant disorders, regardless of the associated mortality rate, seldom, if ever, evoke the same quality of anxiety as that produced by cancer. This anxiety is an inherent feature of the disease, and is a vital consideration in the total care of these patients. The modern surgeon who is genuinely interested in giving patients with cancer the most effective treatment possible should possess, in addition to surgical knowledge and skill, a familiarity not only with the uses and limitations of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but also with the more common psychological problems with which these patients are confronted. An understanding of even the elementary principles of psychotherapy would help us to make better use of that nebulous quality called the "art of medicine" and thus to afford

Scarlet Fever
Authors: Conrad Wesselhoeft, Louis Weinstein
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (1945)

WHEN Sydenham1 coined the term "scarlet fever" in 1676, he remarked that this was a disease in name only. The truth of this statement becomes more and more apparent with the progress of knowledge of streptococcal infections. When the Dicks isolated their so-called "Streptococcus scarlatinae" and patented the toxin and antitoxin derived from it, the idea of a disease entity seemed to become more fixed. This patent has now expired. With the advance in the knowledge of streptococcal diseases many ideas regarding this eruptive fever have changed. Scarlet fever is not so much a disease entity as it is a . . .

Sniffly schoolchildren.
Journal: BMJ (1968)

Though open lifeboats offer, by rowing or sail, some form of propulsion and a chance of reaching land, they pro- vide virtually no shelter.In Arctic storm conditions death from exposure to cold, wind, and sea spray would soon occur.Today open boats are being largely replaced by inflatable life-rafts.These can be conveniently stored on the upper deck for quick release and inflate themselves on entering the water.A convenient size holds 20 men, and is fitted with a canopy and entrances at both ends with curtains; these can be laced up to give total protection or loosened as required for ventilation and observation.The enclosed space maintains warmth created by its occupants, who may remain dry, at rest, and, if necessary, huddled together for mutual warmth.The rafts are extremely stable and are usually accompanied by a pack of water and emergency rations for five days, seasickness pills, and signalling devices.Once in the raft men are safe until they are picked up.They can expect to survive a further week or ten days after they have run out of water and many weeks without food.Though in a heavy sea even a brightly coloured raft may be difficult to spot, modern organizations for identification, search, and rescue should ensure survivors' being picked up well within this period.In the circumstances of shipwreck the process of trans- ferring from the sinking ship to raft or boat is invariably complicated by extreme conditions of weather, poor visibility or darkness, seasickness, and sometimes injury.Only good training, physical fitness, high morale, discipline, and a refusal to give up the struggle will ensure the maximum success.Only if this can be achieved will loss of life at sea be reduced to a minimum.Though good weather-forecasting may enable a ship to avoid a storm centre, it is always better in the long run to be fully prepared to deal with bad weather when it comes-often unexpectedly-than run away from it.
