Molecular cloning, expression and functional characterization of a hepatocyte prostaglandin F2? receptor Institut f. Biochemie, Georg-August-Universit�t, Humboldtallee 23, D-37073 G�ttingen, Germany
Journal: Hepatology (1995)

Cul-de-sac fluid from women with histologically confirmed endometriosis (n = 45) or from infertile women without evidence of endometriosis (n = 28) was collected at the time of laparoscopy during the periovulatory period (days 13 to 18). This fluid was analyzed for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), prostaglandin F2a (PGF2a), 13,14-dihydro-15 keto-PGF2a (PGFM), and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Protein content of the fluid also was determined. No difference (P > 0.05) in cul-de-sac fluid volume was found between women with and without endometriosis, nor were differences detected in the level of any of the prostanoids measured in fluid from infertile control patients compared with those with endometriosis. This was true regardless of whether the prostanoids were expressed as a concentration, total amount in fluid, or as a ratio of prostanoid to protein content. The present study does not support the theory that cul-de-sac fluid prostanoids provide a useful diagnostic index of endometriosis.
皮肤疾病的经验及与医疗提供者的关系
Authors: E. Gilhooley, S. Daly, O. Gallagher, M. Glacken, D. McKenna
Journal: British Journal of Dermatology (2019)

在旅游社区成员和一般群体之间存在许多不平等,包括健康不平等。在获得健康服务方面存在许多障碍:包括有关歧视、文化障碍和健康素养(了解健康信息)障碍的经验或认知。与医疗提供者的积极关系可帮助改善旅游社区成员的健康。在爱尔兰进行的这项研究的目的在于探索旅游者有关皮肤病的经验及其与医疗提供者的关系。通过有皮肤健康问题经验的爱尔兰旅游社区女性成员组成的焦点小组采集数据。在西爱尔兰3个独立的地点组织了3个焦点小组,每个小组10名参与者。根据焦点小组的抄录内容确认主题。主题包括健康素养、歧视、信息不一致性、信任和沟通。我们确认了可确定旅游社区成员与其医疗提供者之间的互动质量的许多因素,以及提高这种关系的潜在机会。“文化能力”表现积极影响关系质量;这表示需将文化、社会或社区相关的信仰和行为与人们获得的医疗结合起来。我们的焦点小组发现对辅助或专家服务的偏好(如医院或顾问主导,而非 GP 水平的护理);在辅助护理服务被认为非歧视的其他研究中也表明类似的偏好。帮助建立积极关系的因素包括:理解不同程度的健康素养,提供根据个体患者需求定制的充分信息,以及展示文化能力。皮肤科医生可以很好地提供可行的、定制治疗指南,同时结合患者的文化信仰。

BOOK REVIEWS
Journal: Circulation (1954)

A critical evaluation of this type of book is difficult in that its values and limitations differ depend- ing on the purpose it is intended to serve.The book is addressed by the author to the "practicing physi- cian."If this physician is interested in a reading knowledge of congenital heart disease, the book is an excellent source, both for actual information and for other references.If, however, he desires a de- tailed working knowledge, the book must be considered to have certain important limitations.
Medical Licensure
Authors: Bernard L. Albert
Journal: JAMA (1970)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> I was very pleased to see the letter from Dr. V. G. Letsou (<b>210</b>:1764, 1969). The present "crazy patchwork quilt" pattern of medical licensure is self-defeating. It does not allow physicians to go where they are needed the most. It does not honestly guarantee the competence of every licensed physician. It only guarantees a mountain of paper work for any physician who desires to obtain a license in another state. It is my understanding that at the end of the 19th century, the American Medical Association was a leader in pressing for an upgrading and modernization of the medical licensure procedure and that at one time, the American Medical Association advocated a single national license which would be honored in every state. I hope the American Medical Association will again take the initiative in bringing forth rational national licensing regulations which will guarantee to the patient
Improving care for women with unwanted pregnancies
Authors: None The Lancet
Journal: The Lancet (2011)

Past studies on the effect of an induced abortion on mental health have been mixed in terms of their quality, findings, and interpretation. Some have shown no harm while others have found associations with mental disorders. Last week, the world's largest, most comprehensive systematic review on mental health outcomes of abortion was published by the UK Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AMRC). The review claimed to provide a definitive answer: having an abortion does not increase the risk of mental health problems.
Tumor-directed PET imaging of metastases in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) using Zr-89 labeled antiprostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) antibody J591.
Authors: Jarett L. Feldman, Michael J. Morris, Scott T. Tagawa, David M. Nanus, Stephen Barnett Solomon, Jorge A. Carrasquillo, Victor E. Reuter, Jason Stuart Lewis, Joseph A. O' Donoghue, Danny F. Martinez, Susan F. Slovin, Dana E. Rathkopf, Mithat Gonen, Volkan Beylergil, Jeremy C. Durack, Sarah M. Cheal, Neil Harrison Bander, Howard I. Scher, Steven M. Larson, Neeta Pandit-Taskar
Journal: Journal of Clinical Oncology (2015)

164 Background: There is no standard imaging (SI) modality that specifically and accurately images prostate cancer (PC) metastases, hampering prognostication and response assessment. J591 is a humanized antibody that targets the external domain of PSMA. We have previously reported on the feasibility, PK and biodistribution properties of 89 Zr-J591 in 10 patients (pts) (Pandit-Taskar et al, Eur J Nuc Med Img 2014). We now report on the targeting/accuracy in 50 pts with mCRPC. Methods: Following standard CT/MRI, bone scan (BS), and FDG PET imaging, 5 mCi of 89 Zr-J591 was administered IV. 89 Zr-J591 was imaged 6-8 days after injection. Positive (pos) scan findings were confirmed, where possible, with biopsies (bxs) in the following preference: concordant 89 Zr-J591 and FDG pos, 89 Zr-J591 and FDG mismatch, and a mismatch between SI and any PET. Results: Imaging: A total of 703 lesions in 50 pts were identified using all imaging modalities. Bone:538 total bone lesions were detected. 491(91%) lesions were present on J591 of which 99 were only evident by J591. BS identified 339 (63%), CT 301 (56%), and FDG 207 (38%). Soft Tissue: 165 total soft tissue lesions were detected. 90 (55%) were seen on J591 of which 17 were only evident by J591. CT identified 124 (75%) and FDG 88 (53%). Pathology:46 bx’s were evaluable (21 bone, 25 soft tissue) in 34 pts. Of the unique J591 lesions biopsied (bx’d), 5/7 were pos for PC. Bone: We bx’d 19 J591 pos lesions and 2 J591 neg sites. Overall, path concordance with J591 was: 89% true pos, 100% true neg, 11% false pos, and 0% false neg. Soft tissue: We bx’d 16 J591 pos lesions and 9 J591 neg sites. Of these, we found 88% true pos, 11% true neg, 13% false pos, and 89% false neg. Conclusions: J591 PET identifies additional disease in bone not seen using other imaging modalities. These lesions are highly likely to correspond to disease by bx. However, the tracer performed less well in soft tissue, with a high false neg rate. Clinical trial information: NCT01543659.
Evaluating the yield of medical tests
Authors: F. E. Harrell
Journal: JAMA (1982)

A method is presented for evaluating the amount of information a medical test provides about individual patients. Emphasis is placed on the role of a test in the evaluation of patients with a chronic disease. In this context, the yield of a test is best interpreted by analyzing the prognostic information it furnishes. Information from the history, physical examination, and routine procedures should be used in assessing the yield of a new test. As an example, the method is applied to the use of the treadmill exercise test in evaluating the prognosis of patients with suspected coronary artery disease. The treadmill test is shown to provide surprisingly little prognostic information beyond that obtained from basic clinical measurements. (<i>JAMA</i>1982;247:2543-2546)
Adolescent Medicine
Authors: Charles E. Irwin
Journal: JAMA (1992)

As we proceed through the 1990s, developments at the national level that began in the 1980s are now coming to fruition. Private foundations, the federal government, professional medical organizations, and medical certifying boards have played major roles in bringing the issues regarding adolescence to the national agenda. In the arena of private foundations, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Princeton, NJ, supported the development of community programs to provide health services to high-risk youth in community-based clinics linked to university medical centers and through school-based clinics. School-based clinics have now emerged as one community model that increases access to primary health care services for adolescents. The William T. Grant Foundation Commission on Work, Family and Citizenship, New York, NY, brought our attention to the problems of young adults and the social and economic plight of young families.<sup>1</sup>The Carnegie Council on Adolescent Development, established in 1987 by the Carnegie Corporation

Endoscopy
Authors: Edward B. Benedict
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (1947)

LITERATURE directly or indirectly related to endoscopy continues to accumulate with amazing rapidity. Each year seems to bring forth additional indications for endoscopic procedures and a wider recognition of their usefulness to the medical profession.AnesthesiaAccording to Clerf1 the endoscopist employs all types of anesthesia and all methods of induction. It is not always easy to make an endoscopic examination of the air and food passages under local anesthesia, and the casual endoscopist frequently chooses general anesthesia. Routine methods following fixed rules do not make for good anesthesia. As a preanesthetic agent, morphine is valuable whether the anesthesia is . . .

secondary to primary care.Psychiatrists must realise this and start taking the criticisms of their clients and clients to be, the general practitioners in their area, more seriously than they do at present.This question needs to be addressed: if fundholding general practitioners are given the choice between a hospital oriented psychiatry service and other, equally effective, services that may be cheaper and are more flexible, how long before they start putting psychiatrists out of work?

Childhood energy intake might explain the link between height and cancer risk
Journal: BMJ (1998)

Nut consumption may protect against heart diseaseAlthough nuts are high in fat, the fatty acids are mostly monosaturated or polyunsaturated, which have beneficial effects on blood lipids.In a large prospective study of women, Hu et al (p 1341) found an inverse association between nut consumption and incidence of coronary heart disease.Women who frequently consumed nuts (>5 times per week) had a significantly lower risk of non-fatal myocardial infarction and fatal coronary disease after accounting for age, smoking, and other known coronary risk factors than women who rarely (never or less than once a month) ate nuts.
