The authors used a rigorous cutoff for disease to assess the incremental value of thallium-201 imaging in diagnosing coronary artery disease. Although previous analyses [2] have suggested that scintigraphy is most useful when reserved for patients with an intermediate probability of ischemia, the Mayo Clinic patients had a 40% incidence of typical anginal pain, and presumably most could exercise satisfactorily. In many nuclear cardiology laboratories, an explosive growth has occurred in pharmacologic testing [3]; this modality ...References1. Christian TF, Miller TD, Bailey KR, Gibbons RJ.

Sorption of Pollutants by Plant Detritus: A Review
Authors: William E. Odum, Jeffrey E. Drifmeyer
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1978)

Detritus particles derived from the decomposition of vascular plants appear to have a high sorptive capability for a wide range of pollutants. Evidence is presented and reviewed which shows detrital concentration of heavy metals, radionuclides, and organochlorine insecticides. A study of a roadside marsh indicates that lead originating from automobile exhausts may reach concentrations as high as 1415 ppm on marshgrass detritus. We suggest that these elevated concentrations may, in turn, be passed on to detritivores which ingest the contaminated particles and experience desorption and assimilation of the pollutant within the digestive tract. Finally, potential mechanisms are listed which might explain detrital sorption; these include; microbial uptake (adsorption and metabolic absorption), association with detrital and microbial lipids, electrostatic adsorption in response to charges on the detritus particles, and formation of complexes and chelates at active sites on the organic molecules of the decomposing detritus.

Timeline: kisspeptins
Authors: Waljit Dhillo
Journal: The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology (2013)

Kisspeptins are peptides encoded by KISS1. The gene was first discovered in 1996, in Hershey, PA, USA, and was subsequently named after Hershey's chocolate kisses. The peptide product of KISS1 is a 145 aminoacid peptide that is cleaved into four shorter peptides: kisspeptin-54, kisspeptin-14, kisspeptin-13, and kisspeptin-10 (the numbers denote how many aminoacids in each). All these isoforms activate the kisspeptin receptor.
Consumptive coagulopathy in fulminant meningococcemia
Authors: L. H. Dennis
Journal: JAMA (1968)

Meningococcemia with Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome caused death in a 21-year-old woman. This patient had marked abnormalities of multiple coagulation factors, which suggested that disseminated intravascular coagulation played an important role in the morbidity and mortality of this disease.

The value of noninvasive measurements in hypertension
Authors: R. B. Devereux
Journal: JAMA (1990)

High blood pressure is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but the incidence of morbid events is low for most individuals with hypertension and is not evenly distributed among them. Consequently, treatment guided solely by blood pressure levels may not be sufficiently intensive for high-risk patients, while patients at low risk may be exposed to drug side effects without deriving benefit. This situation may have contributed to the disappointing results of studies of antihypertensive drugs. Although high-risk patients can be identified by traditional measures such as electrocardiographic left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, fewer than 1% of adults had this abnormality in a recent report from Framingham.<sup>1</sup> This situation has been altered by the development of accurate noninvasive methods of measuring LV muscle mass<sup>2</sup>and carotid atherosclerosis.<sup>3</sup>Studies of patients with hypertension from Cornell<sup>4,5</sup>and middle-aged and older members of the general population in Framingham<sup>1,6</sup>have

Goulstonian Lectures on the Chemical Physiology of the Animal Cell: Delivered before the Royal College of Physicians of London
Authors: W. D. Halliburton
Journal: BMJ (1893)

Of dry warm climates the most typical is that of the deserts, such as are to be found in the centre of Australia, that of Gobi in Chinese Tartary, the great deserts in the United States, and the tract which stretches from the great Sahara through Arabia into Persia, of which the Egyptian desert is a part.Egypt will serve well as an example, espe- cially as it has long been used as a winter sanitarium, and a certain amount of experience of its effects has been accu- mulated.The chief features of the climate of Egypt, most typically exemplified in that of the desert, are, as shown by the works of Marcet, Sandwith, and Zagiell:1. Warmth.The mean temperature of Cairo in winter is .53.30 F., the sumnmer mean is 761°F.; the maximtum at Cairo is 111 F., and the minimum as low as 3-50.2. Great difference between night and day temperatures, due to radiation, amounting in winter to 23' F., or even 380 P.3. Dryness of atmosphere.The rainfall is small: at Cairo.1.22 incl, falling on from twelve to fifteen days, and is less in Upper Egypt.AtTliebes it is rare for any rain to fall, and in the province of Esnell it is almost unknown.The difference between the wet and dry bulbs somnetimes amounts to 240 F., and the annual relative lhunidiiy percentage varies from 5S.46 at Cairo to 45 at Luxor.The atmospheric dryness is proved by the mummies, which remain uinchanged for centuries.4. Great atmosplheric putrity.According to Prince Zagiell's observa- tions, while ordinary atmospheric air contains 4 parts of CO, in 10,t 00 parts, the air of the desert contains none at all, and putrefaction appears -checked; meat exposed to the air becomes, without any trace of decoin- position, mumnmified in three weeks.Sturgeons say thlat wounds and -ulcerations lheal rapidly.The climate suffers from veryIhot winds, such as the klvhmsin or south-east, which brings the sand of the desert, and is suifficiently hot to shrivel up roses and other tiowers and to wvarp and crack unseasoned wood.ITnder its influence both natives and Europeans droop and become listless.

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> In the September 1, 1989, issue of<i>JAMA</i>, Zonderman et al<sup>1</sup>report that depression, as measured by the General Well-being Schedule and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale, is not predictive of cancer morbidity or mortality in a 10-year follow-up.

Surgery for duodenal ulcer.
Authors: M Lee
Journal: BMJ (1970)

MBICLOL 709 claims for sick benefit reached a weekly figure of approximately 450% above the seasonal average.Strains of the Hong Kong variant of influenza virus A2 were isolated in the area.Returns from councils of absence owing to illness, believed to be influenza, during December and January were as follows.Unvaccinated 164 Off sick 41 Vaccinated once only 27 Off sick 7 Vaccinated twice 85 Off sick nil From this it will be seen that there is no difference in the absentee rate of those who were unvaccinated from those who received one dose only in November 1969.In the case of those who received two doses there were no absences, and this is statistically significant.Although one cannot draw any firm conclusions because of the small number who received one dose only, and in 23 a reduced dose, it seems prudent to advise an initial course of two doses in the previously unvaccinated and where there has been a significant change in the strain of the A2 virus.-Weare, etc.,
Diagnosis of Esophagogastric Tumors
Authors: R. Lambert
Journal: Endoscopy (2004)

Esophagogastric tumors occur in three sectors: the esophagus, the EG junction and the non-cardia stomach. Neoplasia develops in the squamous stratified epithelium of the esophagus and in the columnar epithelium of the Barrett's esophagus or in the stomach. At the junction, tumors arise either in a very short Barrett's esophagus or in the gastric epithelium of the cardia. The prognosis of tumors detected at the advanced stage is poor. Secondary prevention requires detection at the early stage. Most superficial neoplastic lesions in the esophagus and in the stomach have a non-protruding appearance, which is similar for premalignant and malignant lesions. Improved accuracy in endoscopic diagnosis and prediction of histology prior to biopsy and treatment decision is based upon magnification with a optical zoom and electronic processing of the captured image with structure enhancement, enhancement of the color of hemoglobin and narrow band imaging. This applies particularly to the exploration of the Barrett's esophagus for identification of the areas with intestinal metaplasia and of flat neoplastic areas. In spite of the predictive value of endoscopy for histology, biopsy samples are still required for pathology and eventually studies with biological markers. Spectroscopic techniques provide a new perspective, up to the level of molecular endoscopy, but they are unlikely to be cost/effective. The classification in the sub-types 0 of neoplastic lesions has some relevance to prediction of depth of invasion. In the esophagus, EUS staging with high frequency miniprobes is a useful complement.
