Re: Predictive value of a positive test
Authors: William McDaniel
Journal: JAMA (1986)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> In your discussion of the Rembrandt painting on the cover of the Sept 20, 1985, issue of<i>JAMA</i>, you state: "Scholars disagree on whether<i>Moses Breaking the Tablets of Law</i>(cover), painted by Rembrandt (1606-1669) when he was in his early 50s, shows Moses with the first tablets of the Law, which Moses smashed when he saw the people dancing about the golden idol, or with the second tablets."<sup>1</sup>The painting obviously refers to the second passage, Exodus 34:1, 27, 29. The painting shows Moses with horns. The language from which St Jerome made the translation on which the Vulgate Bible was based had very similar words for "shone" and "horned"; thus Moses' head in the statue by Michelangelo and in this painting are horned. The following quote is from a book entitled<i>Michelangelo</i><sup>2</sup>: "The horns on his forehead are explained by a mistranslation in

Abstract 2411: A Randomized, Controlled Trial Comparing the Arctic Sun to Standard Cooling for Hypothermia After Cardiac Arrest
Authors: Kennon Heard, Mary Anne Peberdy, Michael R Sayre, Arthur Sanders, Romergryko G Geocadian, Brian J O’Neil
Journal: Circulation (2007)

Hypothermia therapy improves neurological outcome following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA). Standard surface cooling (SC) with ice packs and cold water blankets is readily available, but is labor intensive and often overcools the patient. The Arctic Sun® (AS) surface cooling system uses enhanced energy transfer pads and close computer control of patient temperature (temp). The objective of this study was to compare the AS to SC for treatment of patients with OOHCA. We hypothesized that a greater proportion of patients treated using the AS would reach 34°C within 4 hours of starting cooling (primary outcome) and AS treated patients would be less likely to be out of target range (32–34°C) during 24 hours of cooling than patients treated with SC. This multicenter trial enrolled unresponsive, hemodynamically stable patients resuscitated from witnessed OOHCA of presumed cardiac cause, with any initial rhythm. After randomization, sedation and paralysis, cooling devices were set to a target temp of 33.5°C and core temperature was monitored continuously. Assuming that 60% of SC treated patients will reach 34°C within 4 hours, a sample size of 64 has 80%power (α = 0.05) to identify a 30% absolute increase in the primary outcome. Thirty-four AS and 30 SC subjects were enrolled; three (2 AS, 1 SC) were withdrawn prior to initiating cooling. Overall, 75% of AS patients vs. 55% of SC patients reached 34°C within 4 hours (95% CI of the increase -4% to 43%). The mean (SD) time to 34°C was 200 (78) min for the AS group and 275 (195) min for the SC group. While 28/29 SC patients had a recorded temp outside of range, only 9/32 AC patients were out of range (Relative Risk=3.4; 95% CI 2.0 to 6.0). The rates of serious adverse events during cooling were similar (13% AS, 22% SC; p=0.3). The rate of Cerebral Performance Category of 1 or 2 recorded at final follow-up was similar (47% AS, 34% SC, p=0.4). In conclusion, the AS and SC are both safe and effective for inducing hypothermia. The AS may cool more quickly, but a lower than expected primary outcome rate in both groups limited our power to evaluate the primary outcome difference. After reaching 34°, AS patients were less likely to be out of range. Long-term neurological outcome was good among these comatose survivors of cardiac arrest.
Cold urticaria in infectious mononucleosis
Authors: R. F. Lemanske
Journal: JAMA (1982)

URTICARIA and angioedema are common disorders. Although the specific cause of these disorders frequently is not known, certain underlying diseases and physical stimuli have been shown to produce these conditions and need to be evaluated. Viral infections such as hepatitis B and infectious mononucleosis (IM) may be associated with urticaria. In some patients, cryoprecipitates have been demonstrated<sup>1</sup>in which the presence of viral particles, antibodies, and complement components suggests a pathogenic role for immune complexes and complement activation. Physical stimuli such as cold exposure may produce urticaria on exposed body surfaces of affected persons. The precise mechanisms by which cold temperatures produce these symptoms is unknown but may involve IgE antibody,<sup>2</sup>cryofibrinogens,<sup>3</sup>cold hemolysins,<sup>3</sup>various chemical mediators,<sup>4</sup>and cryoglobulins that are capable of complement activation.<sup>5</sup> Although IM has been associated with cryoprecipitates<sup>6</sup>and, to a lesser extent, cryoprecipitates have been associated with cold urticaria,

Physicians address flying safety concerns with variety of actions
Authors: C. Potera
Journal: JAMA (1985)

A well-known physician flies a private plane from his home area to a city three states away in order to attend the Friday evening and early Saturday sessions of a medical meeting. Then, later on Saturday, he pilots the plane on an even longer three-state flight to another city. At dusk that same day, despite low-hanging clouds and his being unqualified as an instrument pilot, he takes off on what he plans to be the first leg of the nearly coast-to-coast flight that should allow him to arrive home in time for a full schedule on Monday. A few moments later, at 840 m (2,800 ft) of altitude, the lone physician-pilot banks the twin-engine airplane toward home... and crashes into a mountain. Similar reports of fatal (as this one was) or nonfatal private airplane crashes in the past have given physicians a reputation as unsafe pilots. But among the organizations
Surface and Bulk Infrared Modes of Crystalline and Amorphous Silica Particles: A Study of the Relation of Surface Structure to Cytotoxicity of Respirable Silica
Authors: Raghoottama S. Pandurangi, Mohindar S. Seehra, Bronwyn L. Razzaboni, Pedro Bolsaitis
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1990)

Surface IR (infrared) modes of crystalline and fumed (amorphous) silica particles, calcined at temperatures up to 1095 degrees C, have been studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The ability of these same particles to lyse cells has been measured by a hemolysis protocol. The untreated crystalline and amorphous materials differ by a factor of 40 in specific surface area, and the intensity per unit mass of the sharp surface silanol band near 3745 cm-1 in the amorphous material is an order of magnitude larger than in the crystalline material. A similar difference is observed in the lysing potential of the two materials. The intensity of the silanol band increases after calcination for both materials, reaching peak values near 500 degrees C, followed by a dramatic drop at higher calcination temperatures, and reaching negligible values for materials calcined near 1100 degrees C. The lysing potential data follow essentially the same pattern for both crystalline and fumed silica. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the surface silanol groups are involved in cell lysis. Further experiments are suggested to evaluate the relationship between the surface structure of silica particles and their potential cytotoxicity.
Changes in Brain Function (Quantitative EEG Cordance) During Placebo Lead-In and Treatment Outcomes in Clinical Trials for Major Depression
Authors: Aimee Hunter
Journal: American Journal of Psychiatry (2006)

Objective: Decreases in prefrontal electroencephalogram (EEG) cordance that are detectable as early as 48 hours after the start of medication have been related to clinical outcome in treatment trials for major depressive disorder. The relationship between brain changes during the placebo lead-in phase and medication treatment outcome is unknown. The authors hypothesized that decreases in prefrontal cordance during the placebo lead-in phase would be associated with better clinical outcome in subjects treated with antidepressants. Method: Data were pooled examining 51 adults with major depressive disorder from two independent double-blind placebo-controlled trials. A 1-week single-blind placebo lead-in phase preceded 8 weeks of randomized treatment with medication (fluoxetine 20 mg or venlafaxine 150 mg) or placebo. The authors obtained quantitative EEG cordance measures at baseline and at the end of the placebo lead-in period. Relationships between regional cordance changes at the end of the placebo lead-in period and clinical outcome (the final 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression scores) were examined using multiple linear regression analysis. Results: As hypothesized, decreases in prefrontal cordance during the placebo lead-in period were associated with lower final Hamilton depression scale scores in subjects randomly assigned to medication. Prefrontal changes explained 19% of the variance in final Hamilton depression scale scores. Conclusions: Neurophysiological changes during a placebo lead-in period may serve as nonpharmacodynamic biomarkers of eventual treatment outcomes in clinical trials for major depressive disorder.

Journal: BMJ (1955)

There is some argument about the standard of cross- matching which should be adopted for non-urgent trans- fusions.The expert can use almost any method he likes with safety, but the occasional transfusionist should adopt one of the standard tube methods, since he is less likely to make mistakes with them than with any other.I would suggest a cross-match in saline at about 200 C. (room temperature) and by the Sheffield technique in albumin, at 37°C.A 370 C. incubator and a small centrifuge are essential, and no adequate blood grouping can be done without them.The recommended procedure is:Place two tubes in each of two racks, labelling one of each pair " test," the other " control."Into each "test" place 3 drops of recipient's serum, into each " control " 3 drops of saline.Into each tube place 3 drops of an approximately 5% suspen- sion in saline of donor cells which have been removed from the bottle or pilot bottle with a sterile Pasteur pipette and washed once in saline.Leave one rack at room temperature; place the other in the incubator for 1+ hours.After 1+ hours remove
Vaccine-Associated Poliomyelitis in a Contact
Authors: Frederick C. Basilico
Journal: JAMA (1978)

TODAY poliomyelitis in the United States results either from rare epidemics in unvaccinated, closed populations or from complications of the trivalent oral polio vaccine. The clinical features in an unimmunized patient, the history of contact to trivalent oral polio vaccine, and the serologic and virologic data document this case as vaccine-associated poliomyelitis in a contact. <h3>Report of a Case</h3> A 30-year-old married, New England farmer was in excellent health until two days prior to admission when he awoke with a frontal and bioccipital headache unrelieved by aspirin. On the day prior to admission, he noted right leg weakness but proceeded to labor strenuously in the hayfields. He was seen at his local hospital, where examination showed proximal right lower-extremity weakness. His right ankle jerk was absent, and his right knee jerk diminished. Right plantar reflex was equivocal. The left lower extremity had normal strength and reflexes. There were no sensory
