Report on cancer risks associated with the ingestion of asbestos. DHHS Committee to Coordinate Environmental and Related Programs.
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1987)

This report is an assessment of all available literature that pertains to the potential risk of cancer associated with ingestion of asbestos. It was compiled by a working group to assist policy makers in the Department of Health and Human Services determine if adequate information was available for a definitive risk assessment on this potential problem and evaluate if the weight of evidence was sufficient to prioritize this issue for new policy recommendations. The work group considered the basis for concern over this problem, the body of toxicology experiments, the individual epidemiologic studies which have attempted to investigate this issue, and the articles that discuss components of risk assessment pertaining to the ingestion of asbestos. In the report, the work group concluded: that no direct, definitive risk assessment can be conducted at this time; that further epidemiologic investigations will be very costly and only possess sufficient statistical power to detect relatively large excesses in cancers related to asbestos ingestion; and that probably the most pertinent toxicologic experiments relate to resolving the differences in how inhaled asbestos, which is eventually swallowed, is biologically processed by humans, compared to how ingested asbestos is processed. The work group believes that the cancer risk associated with asbestos ingestion should not be perceived as one of the most pressing potential public health hazards facing the nation. However, the work group does not believe that information was sufficient to assess the level of cancer risk associated with the ingestion and therefore, this potential hazard should not be discounted, and ingestion exposure to asbestos should be eliminated whenever possible.
Do obese persons mirror thin counterparts in calorie intake, recall of food consumed?
Authors: C. A. Raymond
Journal: JAMA (1988)

AFTER YEARS of being accused of being lazy or untruthful in reporting food consumption, obese persons' reputations are being vindicated. A study at Memphis (Tenn) State University finds fat people no less accurate in their recall of food consumption than thin people, nor—and this may be more surprising— more likely to eat more. This study follows on the heels of two others published earlier this year that showed that some obese persons may in fact be overweight because of a sluggish metabolism (<i>N Engl J Med</i>1988; 318:461-472). Numerous surveys of dietary intake, including the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, indicated that normal-weight and overweight persons ingest about the same number of calories (<i>J Chronic Dis</i>1985;38:727732). In fact, in some studies, obese persons said they ate less. "Either the obese truly are not eating more, or they're lying," says Robert C. Klesges, PhD, a Memphis State associate professor

Introduction
Authors: Philip Rubin
Journal: JAMA (1975)

CANCER of the lower intestinal tract is the second greatest reaper in the annual death harvest from cancer. The figures have remained essentially unchanged during the past four decades; 75% of all intestinal cancers arise in the colon, rectum, or anus. The incidence among sexes is equally distributed, and the majority (two thirds) of all patients are more than 50 years of age. The demographic distribution is worldwide, but like other alimentary tract cancers, its incidence varies from one country to another. Although the prevalence is high in the United States, it is low in Japan and Finland; the disease is relatively uncommon in Puerto Rico and Africa.<sup>1</sup>According to Bacon and Giambalva,<sup>2</sup>this disease is infrequent in blacks; the authors found only a 3.5% incidence among 640 black patients studied. It is difficult to find a common etiologic factor from these epidemiologic facts, although diet is immediately
An informal appraisal of the current status of 'medical sociology'
Authors: R. G. Petersdorf
Journal: JAMA (1981)

Chairpersons of departments of medicine, pediatrics, and family medicine were sent a questionnaire to determine their experience with, and attitude toward, medical sociology. The results showed that between 40% and 50% of medical students are taught medical sociology during their preclinical years, usually by several departments. Formal instruction was far less common during clinical clerkships and house staff training, although topics dealing with medical sociology were occasionally the subject of grand rounds. The commitment to teaching medical sociology was greatest in departments of family medicine, and least in departments of medicine, with departments of pediatrics occupying an intermediate position. A similar gradient was evident in commitment of departmental resources and enthusiasm for the subject. In general, departments of medicine held a negative attitude toward medical sociology, while departments of family medicine thought the subject was important and worthwhile.

Medical Expenditures Attributable to Injuries—United States, 2000
Journal: JAMA (2004)

In the United States, injuries (i.e., unintentional and intentional) are the leading cause of death among persons aged <35 years and the fourth leading cause of death among persons of all ages. Injuries create a substantial burden on society in terms of medical resources used for treating and rehabilitating injured persons, productivity losses caused by morbidity and premature mortality, and pain and suffering of injured persons and their caregivers. To estimate annual injury-attributable medical expenditures in the United States, CDC analyzed data on injury prevalence and costs from the 2000 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) and the National Health Accounts (NHA). This report summarizes the results of that analysis, which indicated that injury-attributable medical expenditures cost as much as 117 billion dollars in 2000, approximately 10% of total U.S. medical expenditures. This finding underscores the need for innovative and effective interventions to prevent injuries.
"Iatropsychology"
Authors: Jerome M. Schneck
Journal: JAMA (1963)

<h3>To the Editor:</h3> —Iatrochemists and iatromechanists were mentioned in the "Medical Greats" section ofThe Journal(<b>182:</b>adv p 249 [Dec 8] 1962) with special reference to Jan Baptista van Helmont ( 1577-1644) and Giorgio Baglivi (1668-1707) as representative, respectively, of these categories. In seventeenth century medicine, the iatrochemists "pressed chemistry into the service of medicine," as Sigerist put it.<sup>1</sup>Their opponents, the iatromechanists, were known also as iatromathematicians and iatrophysicists. I have pointed out in detail elsewhere<sup>2</sup>that the mid-twentieth century furnished a peak in the growth of what I have seen as a parallel movement and have proposed to call "iatropsychology." Ackerknecht<sup>3</sup>was kind enough to refer to it as an appropriate designation for this development when he mentioned it in his Noguchi Lectures on "Aspects of the History of Therapeutics." Iatropsychology is medicine in which psychological concepts predominate. It finds its special expression now within

FATIGUE AND WORKING CONDITIONS
Journal: JAMA (1942)

Mechanization, speeding of industrial processes and mass production as a part of the war effort have combined to present new problems of industrial health. The illnesses of the workers, their accident rates and their industrial output have been shown to be closely related to fatigue. Physical fatigue, according to Sayers,<sup>1</sup>who reviewed this subject recently in<i>War Medicine</i>, may be temporary, subacute or chronic. Temporary fatigue is a normal feeling of tiredness that passes away after a short rest and allows resumption of original work without decrease in efficiency. Subacute fatigue may result from continued activity at the same intensity until energy reserves are depleted. This condition, if unchecked, may become chronic. Chronic fatigue, the final stage of a series of events which begins with overwork, may end in disabling illness. Fatigue may be local or general. Local fatigue affects particularly the muscles that have been employed most actively.
Ophthalmology
Authors: Leonard A. Levin
Journal: JAMA (1996)

Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of blindness in the United States. Most severe visual loss associated with diabetes is related to the development of neovascularization of retinal vessels, with the potential for vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, and other complications. It is thought that hypoxia serves as a stimulus for angiogenesis, but until recently the mechanism by which hypoxia-related neovascularization occurs has been unclear. In the past 2 years evidence has accrued that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) may be a major component in this process. Specifically, samples of ocular fluids from eyes of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy and other proliferative disorders contain elevated levels of VEGF, sufficient to cause neovascularization.<sup>1,2</sup>In monkeys, development of iris neovascularization induced by laser retinal vein occlusion parallels a rise in aqueous humor and retinal VEGF,<sup>3</sup>and neutralizing antibodies to VEGF block this rise.<sup>4</sup>The time course is rapid; messenger

I am very pleased to introduce not one but two Guest Discussants, the Canadian dynamic duo of gastrointestinal endoscopy and surgery, Drs Alan and Jeff Barkun. After years of study, I am now able to tell these twins apart: Jeff is the one who looks confused when you call him “Alan,” and vice versa. Dr Alan Barkun spent some time at Duke University during his training. I have been pleased to watch his emergence as an expert in endoscopic outcomes research. Dr Jeff Barkun provides the important surgical balance in the Barkun Brothers team. We appreciate your willingness to review a case for us, gentlemen!
Bilateral chylothorax. A case report following episodes of stretching
Authors: K. M. Reilly
Journal: JAMA (1975)

CHYLOTHORAX is a relatively rare condition characterized by pleural fluid that has a high concentration of neutral fat and fatty acid but little cholesterol. Bilateral chylothorax is even more unusual. Trauma and tumor are responsible for the majority of the 51 cases of bilateral chylothorax that we were able to find in a search of the literature. Meade<sup>1</sup>has reported five cases of unilateral chylothorax that he believed were due to hyperextension of the spine with fixation or inherent weakness of the thoracic duct. We describe what we believe is the first reported case of bilateral chylothorax caused by this mechanism. <h3>Report of a Case</h3> A 56-year-old woman was admitted to Georgetown University Hospital on July 9, 1974, for recurrent pleural effusions. In October 1973, she had experienced the sudden onset of sharp, pleuritic chest pain on the left and swelling above the left clavicle following an episode of

showed, in addition, early caecal perforation in the area of maximum dilatation.Histologically, although the bowel wall was thinned, the reason for the dilatation was not apparent.In all cases the ulceration remained super- ficial, ganglion cells appeared normal, and there was only a mild inflammatory cell infiltrate.Even if future studies confirm the association between Cl difficile and toxic megacolon of inflammatory bowel disease, the vital clinical message is that careful patient monitoring will still be mandatory.Despite the availability of antibiotics to treat Cl difficile, its associated toxic dilatation can still be fatal, the bowel can perforate, and surgical resection may be necessary.
Popliteal Cyst
Authors: Hugh H. Hussey
Journal: JAMA (1975)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> I enjoyed reading Dr. Hussey's editorial "Popliteal Cyst: Diagnostic Dilemmas" (230:589, 1974) but believe his last paragraph requires some comments. Having had considerable experience with both elective and emergency surgery on popliteal aneurysms, I would strongly advise that this diagnosis not be made by the insertion of an exploring needle into the lump. Bleeding might be difficult to stop and the usually present clot might be dislocated. If there is strong suspicion of a popliteal aneurysm, careful clinical examination and possibly an arteriogram will always make the diagnosis. Dr. Singer is probably right, especially as regards dislodgement of a clot from an aneurysm that does not exhibit a definite expansile pulsation. I must have been lucky years ago.
