Sickle Cell Trait and Ischemic Stroke in African Americans 802Sickle cell trait (SCT) has been thought to be associated with risk of ischemic stroke in African American individuals, but definitive data are unclear.In a meta-analysis using 4 large, prospective population-based studies, Hyacinth and coauthors found that SCT was not an independent risk factor for incident ischemic stroke among 19 464 African American individuals (1520 [7.8%] with SCT; 620 [3.2%] with ischemic stroke).Thorough clinical evaluation of stroke patients with SCT should be performed, and further work is required to understand genetic and other risk factors that account for a higher prevalence of stroke among African American individuals.

This process begins with counseling, a skill that requires the ability to evaluate the patient's readiness to quit and to motivate patients into effective action. Despite the importance of this activity, physicians usually do not receive training in the best counseling methods. When they do, the programs usually involve lectures rather than active participation in learning. In fact, medical educators have little evidence to guide them in designing programs to teach physicians how to counsel smokers who ...

Control of gonorrhea. Guidelines for antibiotic treatment
Authors: A. H. Rudolph
Journal: JAMA (1972)

The incidence of gonorrhea has reached epidemic proportions. It is the most common of the venereal diseases, the most prevalent bacterial infection of adults in the United States, and the number one reported communicable disease occurring in our country today. There were 624,371 cases of gonorrhea reported for fiscal year 1971, an 8.9% increase over the 573,200 cases of gonorrhea reported for fiscal year 1970.<sup>1</sup>These staggering statistics, however, reflect only a part of the true incidence; for although gonorrhea is a reportable disease, the greatest percentages of cases are thought to be unreported.<sup>2</sup>Thus, it is estimated that more than 2 million cases of gonorrhea actually occurred last year. Understandably, the control of gonorrhea is one of today's major public health goals. But the attainment of this goal has been hindered by a number of problems related to gonorrhea, such as (1) a short incubation period; (2)
Liver Function Tests in Workers with Occupational Exposure to Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs): Comparison with Yusho and Yu-Cheng
Authors: Alf Fischbein
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1985)

The results of liver function tests in a population manufacturing capacitors and transformers are presented. Two clinical field examinations were performed, one in 1976 when PCBs were still used in the manufacturing of the electrical equipment and one at the end of 1979, 2.5 years after discontinuation of PCBs use. A low prevalence of abnormal liver function tests was found and mean values for all tests were within normal laboratory ranges. At the initial examination, weak, but statistically significant correlations were found between log LDH and plasma levels of log HPCB (higher chlorinated congeners of polychlorinated biphenyls) and log TPCB (total polychlorinated biphenyls) among the female workers, while log gamma-GTP correlated significantly only with log HPCB among the male workers. A significant increase to abnormal levels of gamma-GTP was noted at the follow-up examination in both male and female workers, and preliminary results indicate significant correlations between gamma-GTP and serum levels of PCBs among the male workers. These findings are in accordance with previously reported data on populations occupationally exposed to PCBs, but differ from hepatic biochemistry findings in accidental poisonings due to ingestion of cooking oil contaminated with PCBs and related compounds, i.e., polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and polychlorinated quaterphenyls (PCQs). Hence, the importance of considering the related compounds as etiologic factors in PCB poisoning is emphasized.

Senile dementia of the Binswanger type. A vascular form of dementia in the elderly
Authors: G. C. Roman
Journal: JAMA (1987)

Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in the elderly have demonstrated the common occurrence of deep white-matter lesions in the aging brain. These radiologic lesions (leukoaraiosis) may represent an early marker of dementia. At autopsy, an ischemic periventricular leukoencephalopathy (Binswanger's disease) has been found in most cases. The clinical spectrum of Binswanger's disease appears to range from asymptomatic radiologic lesions to dementia with focal deficits, frontal signs, pseudobulbar palsy, gait difficulties, and urinary incontinence. The name<i>senile dementia of the Binswanger type</i>(SDBT) is proposed for this poorly recognized, vascular form of subcortical dementia. The SDBT probably results from cortical disconnection most likely caused by hypoperfusion. In contrast, multi-infarct dementia is correlated with multiple large and small strokes that cause a loss of over 50 to 100 mL of brain volume. The periventricular white matter is a watershed area irrigated by long, penetrating medullary arteries. Risk factors for SDBT are small-artery diseases, such as hypertension and amyloid angiopathy, impaired autoregulation of cerebral blood flow in the elderly, and periventricular hypoperfusion due to cardiac failure, arrhythmias, and hypotension. The SDBT may be a potentially preventable and treatable form of dementia. (<i>JAMA</i>1987;258:1782-1788)
Analgesic risks and pharmacoepidemiology
Authors: G. A. Faich
Journal: JAMA (1986)

Knowledge of uncommon adverse drug reactions ordinarily derives from case reports based on clinical observations. Size limitations of clinical trials preclude identification of rare adverse reactions.<sup>1</sup>Yet individual case reports have two problems. First, an observed clinical event may be coincidental to a particular drug exposure, be linked to the disease being treated, or be due to other drugs. Only in the unusual instance when rechallenge and reappearance of the event are described can causality be clearly inferred from a case report. Second, individual case reports cannot generally provide a basis for incidence estimates.<sup>1</sup>For prospective clinical decisions, the issue is not whether a drug might cause a reaction, but how often this happens. Thus, the extraordinary study of the relationship between analgesics and aplastic anemia and agranulocytosis in this issue ofThe JOURNALis most welcome and important.<sup>2</sup>Because these conditions are rare, a case-control study

Brightest X-rays ever give researchers brand-new view of biological molecules
Authors: A. A. Skolnick
Journal: JAMA (1994)

BY THE SUMMER of 1995, scientists at the Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago, Ill, expect to switch on the brightest beams of light ever to shine on the earth. The light, in the form of synchrotron x-rays, will be used to study the nature of materials, including toxins, enzymes, cell receptors, viral proteins, and other biological molecules. When fully operational, the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne is expected to provide superintense beams of x-rays for up to 70 separate experiments at a time in medicine, biotechnology, chemistry, physics, materials science, geoscience, and other fields of basic and applied research. The x-ray beams will be 10 000 times brighter than any source now available for research. <h3>World's Largest Microscope Light</h3> The enormously bright and very short wavelength light should enable researchers to capture detailed images of the atomic structure and behavior of complex biological molecules. Because of the great intensity of
The clinical course of osteoporosis in anorexia nervosa. A longitudinal study of cortical bone mass
Authors: N. A. Rigotti
Journal: JAMA (1991)

Women with anorexia nervosa have reduced bone mass and may develop fractures. Neither the pathophysiology of this osteoporosis nor its natural history is known. To study the clinical course of osteoporosis, we followed up 27 women with anorexia nervosa for a median of 25 months (range, 9 to 53 months). At study entry, cortical bone density, measured by single-photon absorptiometry of the radial shaft, was low (mean ± SD, 0.63 ± 0.07 g/cm<sup>2</sup>) and inversely related to the duration of amenorrhea (<i>r</i>= -0.49). During follow-up, most patients gained weight (n = 19), took calcium supplements (n = 16), and exercised regularly (n = 22), but fewer than half reached 80% or more of ideal body weight (n = 11), resumed menses (n = 6), or received estrogen (n = 4). Cortical bone density was stable during follow-up for the group as a whole; the mean annual change ( ± SD) was + 0.005 ( ±.015) g/cm<sup>2</sup>(95% confidence interval, - 0.0009 to +0.0109). There was no significant difference in the mean change in bone density between women who attained 80% of ideal weight and those who did not or between groups who did or did not regain menses, take estrogen or calcium, or exercise vigorously. Four fractures were clinically observed in three women during follow-up. The rate of 0.05 nonspine fractures per person-year (95% confidence interval, 0.02 to 0.13) exceeds that of normal women in this age range (relative risk, 7.1; 95% confidence interval, 3.2 to 18.5). We conclude that reductions in cortical bone density appear not to be rapidly reversed by recovery from anorexia nervosa and that anorectic women may have an increased risk of fracture.
