Blood pressure control by home monitoring: meta-analysis of randomised trials
Journal: BMJ (2004)

evaluated.We think that trauma units with access to a helical, multiplane, computed tomography scanner should routinely image the entire cervical spine at high resolution since the number needed to treat to detect a further injury beyond directed scanning may be only eight to 22 patients, 20 21 36 and this is the standard recommended in figure 2. This is similarly a level 2-3 recommendation; an urgent need remains for an adequately powered, prospective comparison of these modalities to justify any further recommendations.We propose the removal of cervical collars and patients' mobilisation as a priority for management.Therefore if plain radiographs and computed tomography imaging do not show evidence of traumatic abnormality and the patient is not expected to be conscious within 48-72 hours, current evidence supports the declaration "cervical spine cleared" without further delay.We draw attention to the routine inclusion of thoracolumbar plain radiography, where unconscious patients with multiple injuries have a compatible mechanism of injury.Contributors: CGM had the original idea, searched the literature, and wrote the main text.

Elective cyclosporine withdrawal after renal transplantation. A meta-analysis
Authors: B. L. Kasiske
Journal: JAMA (1993)

<h3>Objective.</h3> —To determine whether it is safe to electively discontinue cyclosporine therapy after renal transplantation. <h3>Data Source.</h3> —MEDLINE and bibliographies from recent publications. <h3>Study Selection.</h3> —Controlled trials assessing the rate of acute rejection, graft loss, and mortality after elective cyclosporine withdrawal. <h3>Data Extraction.</h3> —We compared outcomes in patients who underwent withdrawal from cyclosporine treatment with patients who were not withdrawn (part 1), and in a separate analysis (part 2), with patients who never received cyclosporine. <h3>Data Synthesis.</h3> —In part 1 of the meta-analysis, consisting of 10 randomized and seven nonrandomized trials, there was a greater combined rate of acute rejection among patients in whom cyclosporine was withdrawn compared with control patients who continued to receive cyclosporine (weighted difference in episodes per patient, 126; 95% confidence interval [Cl], 0.085 to 0.167;<i>P</i>&lt;.001). However, there were no differences in graft loss (weighted difference in grafts lost per patient per year, —0.009; 95% Cl, —0.022 to 0.004;<i>P</i>=0.19) or mortality (weighted difference in deaths per patient per year, —0.005; 95% Cl, —0.016 to 0.006;<i>P</i>=.40) attributable to cyclosporine withdrawal. In part 2 of the meta-analysis, consisting of three randomized and three nonrandomized trials, the combined rate of graft loss for patients who were withdrawn from cyclosporine was not significantly different vs control patients who never received cyclosporine (weighted difference in grafts lost per patient per year, —0.020; 95% Cl, —0.043 to 0.003;<i>P</i>=.08). However, when the three randomized trials were analyzed separately, graft survival was better in patients who were withdrawn from cyclosporine (weighted difference in grafts lost per patient per year, 0.0382; 95% Cl, 0.0002 to 0.0762;<i>P</i>=.049). None of the outcomes was affected by the timing or manner of the cyclosporine withdrawal. <h3>Conclusions.</h3> —The increased incidence of acute rejection following elective cyclosporine withdrawal does not affect short-term graft or patient survival after renal transplantation. Whether long-term consequences will outweigh the benefits of elective withdrawal remains to be determined. (<i>JAMA</i>. 1993;269:395-400)
Hazard of platelet transfusion in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
Authors: D. R. Harkness
Journal: JAMA (1981)

A patient with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) showed for the first time catastrophic signs and symptoms of CNS involvement immediately after infusion of platelets. Postmortem examination revealed extensive deposits of platelet aggregates within the small blood vessels of the brain, whereas lesions elsewhere in the body consisted of platelets as well as fibrin and were associated with endothelial proliferation and microaneurysm formation. These findings are consistent with the view that the initial event in TTP may be platelet aggregation. The plasma of this patient contained platelet-aggregating activity. We conclude that platelet transfusions in patients with TTP may aggravate the disease process. (<i>JAMA</i>1981;246:1931-1933)

contained an error.On page 2, top of column 2 in the Patients and Methods section, the unit of measurement in the first sentence under "Study Procedures" was given incorrectly as:"Patients received blinatumomab as a continuous intravenous infusion at fixed stepwise doses (9 mg/day in week 1 of cycle 1 followed by 28 mg/day thereafter)."The sentence should read as: "Patients received blinatumomab as a continuous intravenous infusion at fixed stepwise doses (9 mg/day in week 1 of cycle 1 followed by 28 mg/day thereafter)."The online version has been corrected in departure from the print.JCO apologizes for the error.

Smoking among children and young people in Japan I read with great interest the editorial on children and smoking (July 1992;47:485-8).The increase in the number of under age smokers and of young women smoking is one of Japan's most important problems.'There seems to be no doubt that cigarette advertis- ing (especially on television) and the sale of tobacco through vending machines in the street are responsible for the increase of smoking among youngsters.23It is believed that about 30% of primary school pupils, 50% of junior high school students, and 70% of senior high school students in Japan have tried smoking at least once or twice.According to a recent survey by the Japan Know Your Body Study, 8% of boys and 3% of girls among third year students at junior high school (14-15 year olds) said that they smoked occasionally or regularly, but only 1% of sixth grade pupils at primary school (11-12 year olds).The survey also showed that the prevalance of smoking among third year students at senior high school (17-18 year olds) increased to 37% for boys and 15% for girls.

Humoral antibodies appear to play at most a minor rôle, and resistance depends primarily upon an altered reactivity of the tissue cells. Although some degree of immunity may be produced in animal experiments by the inoculation of killed organisms, any notable degree of protection depends upon the presence of living tubercle bacilli in the body. All practicable methods of immunization are based upon the observation—which has been confirmed by innumerable experiments—that inoculation of animals with a strain of tubercle...1 PETROFFBRANCHSTEENKEN SAAW: Study of Bacillus-Calmette-Guerin (BCG): Biological characteristics, cultural "dissociation" and animal experimentation, Am.

Pulse Pressure and Prevalence of Peripheral Arterial Disease: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study
Authors: Herman A. Taylor, Andrew C. Brown, Cecil M. Burchfiel, Daniel W. Jones, Thomas N. Skelton, Donna K. Arnett, Traci L. Clemons, Bobby L. Clark, Michael H. Criqui
Journal: Circulation (2001)

P55 Recent reports have shown that pulse pressure (PP) is a meaningful independent predictor of some types of cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship between PP and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is largely unexplored. We examine data from a large biracial cohort in order to determine whether PP has an independent association with PAD. A total of 10,592 subjects were examined from the ARIC study (20.5% African American) in 1987-1989. Participants taking anti-hypertension medications were excluded but those with untreated elevated (&gt;=140/90) blood pressure (12.3%) were not. The presence of PAD was indicated by an ankle-brachial index &lt;=0.9. Clinical predictors of PAD and potential confounders were examined individually for associations with PAD, after controlling for age. In a bivariate model, it was found that subjects in the highest quartile of PP (&gt;52 mm Hg) were 2.27 times more likely to have PAD than those in the lowest quartile (&lt;37 mm Hg). Controlling for age, sex, race, mean arterial pressure (MAP), diabetes mellitus, body mass index, high-density lipoprotein, cholesterol level, and smoking status in a multivariate logistic regression model, PP had a significant independent association with PAD. Every 10 mm Hg difference in PP was associated with a 41% increase in prevalence of PAD. PP was also shown to have a stronger association with PAD than either the non-significant systolic blood pressure (SBP) or non-significant diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Each of the three blood pressure components was analyzed independently in the above multivariate model, controlling for MAP. When SBP and DBP were included separately in the multivariate model (excluding MAP), every 10 mm Hg difference in PP was associated with a 73% and 31% increase in prevalence of PAD, respectively, whereas both SBP and DBP were not statistically significant. Conclusion: PP was independently associated with PAD in this population-based sample of subjects who were not being treated for hypertension.
Mass Treatment of Humans Who Drank Unpasteurized Milk From Rabid Cows-- Massachusetts, 1996-1998
Journal: JAMA (1999)

Rabies is a viral zoonosis that is usually transmitted by the bite of an infected mammal. However, in Massachusetts, two incidents have been reported since 1996 of potential mass exposures to rabies through drinking unpasteurized milk. This report presents the investigations of these two incidents.

Trimethioprim-Sulfamethoxazole
Authors: Michael H. Goloff
Journal: JAMA (1975)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> In reference to the article, "Evaluation of an Anti-Infective Combination: Trimethioprim-Sulfamethoxazole" (231:635, 1975), it should be pointed out that the cost to patient of 60 tablets, enough for a two-week course for treatment of a urinary tract infection is $19 in our area. This fact should be borne in mind before the drug is used and would be a strong deterrent to its use as "primary medication for acute and chronic urinary tract infections."
