Dioxin in Vietnam: Fighting a Legacy of War
Authors: Susan M. Booker
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (2001)

Singapore was the site of an East-West convergence over the week of 27 November-1 December 2000. At the behest of their respective governments, scientists from the United States and Vietnam came together for what promises to be the first of many meetings. Their mission: to explore the possibility of launching a joint research program to study the human and environmental health effects resulting from spraying Agent Orange and other herbicides during the Vietnam War.
Mizer Sanatorium
Authors: Edmund C. Carr
Journal: JAMA (1913)

<h3>To the Editor:</h3> —Some time ago those in charge of the Mizer Sanatorium of this place stated to us that they wished to place the institution on a high plane and to conduct it in a strictly ethical manner. To such a degree would they conform to ethical rules that the most particular in matters of this kind would find no room to complain. With this distinct agreement on their part they were allowed to use our names as references. Of late we have learned that even the ordinary rules of propriety have been violated by them and that these acts of unfairness to us had been going on for some time before we learned of their breach of faith with us. We at once notified them no longer to use our names in any of their advertising matter or on their stationery. It appears that before we had learned

The Role of Particulate Size and Chemistry in the Association between Summertime Ambient Air Pollution and Hospitalization for Cardiorespiratory Diseases
Authors: Richard T. Burnett, Sabit Cakmak, Jeffrey R. Brook, Daniel Krewski
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1997)

In order to address the role that the ambient air pollution mix, comprised of gaseous pollutants and various physical and chemical measures of particulate matter, plays in exacerbating cardiorespiratory disease, daily measures of fine and coarse particulate mass, aerosol chemistry (sulfates and acidity), and gaseous pollution (ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide) were collected in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in the summers of 1992, 1993, and 1994. These time series were then compared with concurrent data on the number of daily admissions to hospitals for either cardiac diseases (ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and dysthymias) or respiratory diseases (tracheobronchitis, chronic obstructive long disease, asthma, and pneumonia). After adjusting the admission time series for long-term temporal trends, seasonal variations, the effects of short-term epidemics, day of the week effects, and ambient temperature and dew point temperature, positive associations were observed for all ambient air pollutants for both respiratory and cardiac diseases. Ozone was least sensitive to adjustment for the gaseous and particulate pollution measures. However, the association between the health outcomes and carbon monoxide, fine and coarse mass, sulfate levels and aerosol acidity could be explained by adjustment for exposure to gaseous pollutants. Increases in ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide equivalent to their interquartile ranges corresponded to an 11% and 13% increase in daily hospitalizations for respiratory and cardiac diseases, respectively. The inclusion of any one of the particulate air pollutants in multiple regression models did not increase these percentages. Particle mass and chemistry could not be identified as an independent risk factor for the exacerbation of cardiorespiratory diseases in this study beyond that attributable to climate and gaseous air pollution. We recommend that effects of particulate matter on health be assessed in conjunction with temporally covarying gaseous air pollutants.

Pancuronium Tachycardia
Authors: Elemer K. Zsigmond
Journal: JAMA (1973)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> In reference to the letter by Orkin and Pegg (224:630, 1973), we want to emphasize that in our study,<sup>1</sup>specially designed to evaluate the circulatory effects of pancuronium, namely, its influence on electrocardiograms, blood pressure, plasma free-epinephrine and norepinephrine concentrations in combination with blood gases, less than 10% elevations of the heart rate and blood pressures were observed, and no rise in plasma catecholamines. These findings are further corroborated by the lack of increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and in catecholamines when pancuronium, 0.09 mg/kg of body weight, was followed by ketamine hydrochloride, 2.0 mg/kg, and these were administered to good-risk, young, gynecologic patients in our study. Evidently, pancuronium blocked the development of tachycardia, hypertension, and the rise in plasma free-norepinephrine caused otherwise by ketamine, 2.0 mg/kg, intravenously administered in our previous study.<sup>2</sup> Therefore, we routinely utilized 0.08 mg/kg pancuronium for facilitation of intubation
Leukoplakia
Authors: G. E. Ward
Journal: CA A Cancer Journal for Clinicians (1953)

Leukoplakia is a white patch on the mucous membrane of a cavity lined with squamous epithelium.It is com mon in the mouth and is sometimes found in the vagina, on the cervix, and in the anal canal.In the mouth it may be found on the inner side of the lip, gingiva, buccal mucous membrane, palate, and the tongue.Paradoxically, it appears dry, although bathed in saliva.The surface is usually flat and broken by tiny fissures in the squamous epi thelium giving a mosaic pattern.Very superficial leukoplakia, in which the epithelium is not piled up sufficiently to produce these little cracks, may appear smooth, fiat, and white.
Is determination of the hepatic iron index of diagnostic value in patients with thalassemia minor and chronic alcoholic liver disease?
Authors: M Yebra
Journal: Hepatology (1991)

1) studied 42 patients with unequivocal primary hemochromatosis and six patients with equivocal initial results who after prolonged follow-up behaved as homozygotes.The researchers compared these patients with 15 heterozygous cases.In all subjects in the first group, the hepatic liver index was greater than or equal to 1.9, whereas in none of the heterozygous cases did it surpass 1.5, thus lending support to previous works by Basset, Halliday and Powell (2).We have studied a patient (Queipo de Llano MP, Yebra M, Moreno ME, et al., Unpublished observations) with a history of alcohol consumption and thalassemia minor whose liver biopsy specimen revealed iron levels and a hepatic iron index in the range associated with primary hemochromatosis.Genetic study of the subject's family revealed the absence of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) A3 marker, the major histocompatibility complex allele most frequently associated with primary hemochromatosis.Briefly, this report deals with a 30-year-old man with alcohol consumption of 80 gm a day who sought medical assistance for mild leg edema.Hepatomegaly was detected on physical examination, and laboratory tests showed 5.10 x 10'" RBCs/L, hemoglobin of 12.2 gm/dl, mean corpuscular volume of 73.3 fl; hemoglobin A, of 3.36%, hemoglobin F of 4.19%, AST of 120 IUL, ALT of
Pesticides
Authors: W. M. Upholt, P. C. Kearney
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (1966)

MODERN civilization and especially urbanization is built upon introduction of new forms and extensive use of many chemicals. All these substances serve an intended purpose for varying periods. When their usefulness is expended they may create a disposal problem. Except where recycling of chemicals is practical, disposal is likely to be by dilution in the environment either before or after physical and chemical changes.The disposal of pesticides is important because their usefulness is based on biologic activity. Problems of contamination of the environment with special ecologic implications may be involved.Fear that pesticides may create serious disruptions in the . . .
INCOMPATIBLES.
Authors: E. A. RUDDIMAN
Journal: JAMA (1898)

To the practitioner, as well as to the patient and pharmacist, the prescription is an object of importance. Upon it the welfare of each one of these more or less depends. If it fails the mission of the physician and of the pharmacist fails. Heretofore, schools and colleges of medicine have not laid sufficient stress upon the combining of medicines. Within the last few years there has been a change for the better, and the graduates at the present time know more than did the graduates of a few years ago. However, even yet it is the exception rather than the rule to meet a young man who knows more than a little about writing prescriptions, and he may consider himself fortunate if he knows more than a little about the individual ingredients of the prescription. It is not his fault, but that of his professors, that he is not
Different Psychophysiological and Behavioral Responses Elicited by Frustration in Pediatric Bipolar Disorder and Severe Mood Dysregulation
Authors: Brendan Rich
Journal: American Journal of Psychiatry (2007)

Objective: Researchers disagree as to whether irritability is a diagnostic indicator for pediatric mania in bipolar disorder. The authors compared the behavioral and psychophysiological correlates of irritability among children with severe mood dysregulation (i.e., nonepisodic irritability and hyperarousal without episodes of euphoric mood) and narrow-phenotype bipolar disorder (i.e., a history of at least one manic or hypomanic episode with euphoric mood) as well as those with no diagnosis (i.e., healthy comparison children). Method: Subjects with severe mood dysregulation (N=21) or narrow-phenotype bipolar disorder (N=35) and comparison subjects (N=26) completed the affective Posner task, an attentional task that manipulated emotional demands and induced frustration. Mood response, behavior (reaction time and accuracy), and brain activity (event-related potentials) were measured. Results: The severe mood dysregulation and narrow-phenotype bipolar disorder groups both reported significantly more arousal than comparison subjects during frustration, but behavioral and psychophysiological performance differed between the patient groups. In the frustration condition, children with narrow-phenotype bipolar disorder had lower P3 amplitude than children with severe mood dysregulation or comparison subjects, reflecting impairments in executive attention. Regardless of emotional context, children with severe mood dysregulation had lower N1 event-related potential amplitude than comparison subjects or children with narrow-phenotype bipolar disorder, reflecting impairments in the initial stages of attention. Post hoc analyses demonstrated that the N1 deficit in children with severe mood dysregulation is associated with oppositional defiant disorder symptom severity. Conclusions: Results indicate that while irritability is an important feature of severe mood dysregulation and narrow-phenotype bipolar disorder, the pathophysiology of irritability may differ among the groups and is influenced by oppositional defiant disorder severity.

Paganini
Authors: Frank Rosenthal
Journal: JAMA (1978)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> I was distressed to see the recent article by Myron R. Schoenfeld, MD, on aspects of Paganini's medical history (238:40, 1978). The author makes various sweeping medical claims without proper deductive proof and authentication. A careful analysis of extant data is not given. He does not refer to the previous issue ofThe Journalthat carried a well researched article on the same topic by Smith and Worthington (199:820, 1967). Bibliographic entries in standard encyclopedias are more complete than Schoenfeld's bibliography. Schoenfeld certainly did not prove that the great virtuoso had Marfan's syndrome.
Pneumopericardium secondary to a fistula. Communication between pericardium and subphrenic-colonic abscess
Authors: C. Pfaff
Journal: JAMA (1976)

"SPONTANEOUS" pneumopericardium is a rarely encountered entity.<sup>1-3</sup>The case reported here is unusual, as it was secondary to a fistulous communication with a subphrenic-colonic abscess. <h3>Report of a Case</h3> A 65-year-old woman complained of diarrhea, fever, and rapidly progressing debilitation for one week. The only available past history was the report of an inoperable malignant neoplasm of the colon, diagnosed six months earlier in another country by barium enema. She was dyspneic and severely dehydrated, and she had atrial fibrillation and a palpable abdominal mass in the left upper quadrant. An admission chest roentgenogram showed a large pneumopericardium (Fig 1). Pericardiocentesis yielded approximately 300 cc of gas and 50 ml of thick, brown liquid with a fecal odor. Emergency extraperitoneal subcostal exploration disclosed a large left anterior subphrenic abscess that communicated with the pericardial cavity through an opening 1 cm in diameter in the central tendon of the diaphragm.
The metabolic bone disease of primary sclerosing cholangitis
Authors: J Hay
Journal: Hepatology (1991)

The incidence and severity of osteopenic bone disease in primary sclerosing cholangitis is poorly defined. Clinical, biochemical and radiographic assessment and bone mineral density measurements of the lumbar spine were carried out in two groups of patients. Group 1 consisted of 30 patients with advanced primary sclerosing cholangitis; group 2 consisted of 18 patients with newly diagnosed primary sclerosing cholangitis. Only one patient had bone pain. All patients were normocalcemic; two had elevated serum parathormone levels. Fourteen patients (47%) from group 1 but no patients from group 2 had low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. Mean bone mineral density was significantly reduced in group 1 patients (0.97 ± 0.04 gm/cm2) compared with age-matched and sex-matched controls (1.25 ± 0.01 gm/cm2, p < 0.0001), and in 15 patients (50%) bone mineral density was below the fracture threshold (0.98 gm/cm2). The bone mineral density in group 2 was not significantly different from controls, and no patient was below the fracture threshold. In neither group did bone mineral density correlate with serum bilirubin, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, fecal fat excretion, previous drug therapy or the presence of chronic ulcerative colitis. Histomorphometrical examination of bone from four group 1 patients showed increased bone resorption, reduced bone formation, moderate-to-severe osteopenia and no osteomalacia. In conclusion, severe osteopenic bone disease is common in advanced primary sclerosing cholangitis and, like that seen in other cholestatis diseases, is consistent with osteoporosis.

Immunization by selective infection with type 4 adenovirus grown in human diploid tissue cultures. I. Safety and lack of oncogenicity and tests for potency in volunteers
Authors: R. M. Chanock
Journal: JAMA (1966)

Numerous studies have shown that adenovirus infection constitutes a major cause of acute febrile respiratory-tract disease in military recruits.<sup>1,2</sup>Most recruit adenovirus infections are produced by type 4 virus, and to a lesser extent by types 3 and 7 viruses. The impact of adenovirus infection on recruit populations is large in terms of high respiratory-tract disease morbidity, hospitalization, and costly disruption of military training.<sup>3</sup>For this reason there is an urgent need for effective immunoprophylaxis. The first experimental inactivated adenovirus vaccines prepared in monkey-kidney tissue culture were extremely effective in preventing adenovirus disease.<sup>4,5</sup>However, subsequent production lots of similar vaccines exhibited a variable degree of potency. In some instances very little protection was conferred.<sup>3</sup> In addition there has been considerable difficulty in producing adenovirus vaccines which are free of simian virus contamination. The most troublesome of the simian viruses has been simian virus 40 (SV 40).
