Cytogenetics and molecular genetics of childhood brain tumors
Authors: Jaclyn A. Biegel
Journal: Neuro-Oncology (1999)

Considerable progress has been made toward improving survival for children with brain tumors, and yet there is still relatively little known regarding the molecular genetic events that contribute to tumor initiation or progression.Nonrandom patterns of chromosomal deletions in several types of childhood brain tumors suggest that the loss or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes are critical events in tumorigenesis.Deletions of chromosomal regions 10q, 11 and 17p, for example, are frequent events in medulloblastoma, whereas loss of a region within 22q11.2, which contains the INI1 gene, is involved in the development of atypical teratoid and rhabdoid tumors.A review of the cytogenetic and molecular genetic changes identied to date in childhood brain tumors will be presented.
Iodine 131 uptake by primary lung adenocarcinoma. Misinterpretation of 131I scan
Authors: M. Fernandez-Ulloa
Journal: JAMA (1976)

A UNIQUE case illustrating uptake of radioactive iodine 131 by a primary adenocarcinoma of the lung shows the need for caution before interpreting all such scan results as indicative of the presence of thyroid tissue. <h3>Report of a Case</h3> A 54-year-old man was admitted to the hospital on Feb 1, 1972, with a four-month history of chest pain, cough, hemoptysis, weight loss (11.25 kg), and anorexia. A chest roentgenogram showed a superior mediastinal mass (Fig 1). From August 1963 until the present admission, the patient had required hospitalization for a multitude of problems including rheumatic heart disease manifested by mitral insufficiency, complicated by congestive heart failure and acute endocarditis; hypertension; renal disease manifested by recurrent urinary tract infections and nephrocalcinosis; and hemorrhagic gastritis requiring surgical intervention. <h3>Hospital Course.—</h3> On Feb 8, 1972, a mediastinoscopy was performed, and a biopsy specimen of the superior mediastinal mass indicated a papillary adenocarcinoma.

Abstract 146: Neurological Prognostication by Gender in Patients with Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Receiving Hypothermia Treatment
Authors: Min Jung Kim, Sang Do Shin, William McClellan, Bryan McNally
Journal: Circulation (2014)

Objectives: This study aimed to to examine whether neurologic recovery of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients receiving hypothermia treatment is enhanced for women of childbearing age. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using a nationwide surveillance database in Korea of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) that occurred between 2008 and 2012. The exposure and outcomes studied were hypothermia treatment and neurologic outcome at discharge. Patient characteristics between hypothermia-treated and non-treated groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression was used to account for the patient characteristics. The association was examined for each stratum of gender, age (&lt;45, 45-65, and &gt;65 years old), and initial cardiac rhythm. Cardiac rhythms were considered in two different categorizations: 1) shockable/non-shockable rhythm, and 2) VF.VT/PEA/asystole. Results: Crude analysis showed that women of childbearing ages treated with hypothermia had enhanced neurologic recovery than older aged women and all men. After adjusted, men had stronger association between hypothermia and good neurologic recovery than women. The highest association was found in men who are under 45 years of age and have shockable cardiac rhythm (OR=2.00 (1.26, 3.19)). The association between hypothermia and neurologic recovery was not statistically significant in all women. The magnitude of association decreased with age. Shockable rhythm was associated with better neurologic recovery than non-shockable rhythms in all gender and age groups. Using VF.VT/PEA/asystole categorization of cardiac rhythms, men consistently showed higher ORs than women. In all gender and age groups, having PEA rhythm was associated with better neurologic outcome than shockable rhythms (VF/VT) or asystole. Conclusion: The unadjusted association between hypothermia and neurologic recovery was the strongest in women of childbearing ages. After adjustment, men had a better neurologic outcome than women across all ages. Shockable rhythms were associated with enhanced neurologic recovery. Our results suggest that among OHCA patients, the effect of hypothermia treatment on neurologic recovery is greater for men, young ages, and having shockable cardiac rhythm.
The Telephone
Authors: Herbert M. Gruenberg
Journal: JAMA (1963)

<h3>To the Editor:—</h3> In the March 23 issue ofThe Journal(<b>183</b>: Adv p 204) there is an item in the Satire section which, unfortunately, is not funny as it was meant to be. Too often people expect miracles from the telephone and, as Dr. Schwartz says, in the confusion of illness or accident, people do get panicky and give faulty information. Therefore, it becomes incumbent upon the person answering the telephone to keep a cool head. The incident described in the article could very well have been averted had it been an inflexible policy on the part of the person handling the call to inquire, "Who is calling?" There is no perfect way of handling phone calls. Some sort of guide for telephone practice could be prepared by a committee of doctors working with the telephone company and distributed as a public service to doctors and patients telling them

Specificity of the Effects of Lead on Brain Energy Metabolism for Substrates Donating a Cytoplasmic Reducing Equivalent
Authors: R. J. Bull, P. M. Stanaszek, J. J. O'Neill, S. D. Lutkenhoff
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1975)

Lead chloride, at concentrations of 67 muM in the incubation media, inhibits the potassium-stimulated respiration (3 to 30mM increase in K+) of rat cerebral cortex slices. The inhibition observed was dependent upon the substrate provided. In the presence of 10mM glucose or lactate, 35-50% inhibition of the response was observed, but no evidence of an effect could be observed when 10mM pyruvate served as substrate. In consonance with these observations, spectral measurements during the course of the response revealed an attenuation of the initial NAD(P)H oxidation followed by a substantial accumulation of the intermediate in slices metabolizing glucose, but not those metabolizing pyruvate. In vivo treatment of adult rats with six intrapertoneal injections spaced over a 14-day period gave rise to essentially similar findings at cerebral cortical lead concentrations averaging 0.41 mug/g (range equals 0.34-0.52) and above. No effect was observed at brain lead concentrations averaging 0.17 mug/g. These data suggested that lead interfered with the oxidation of the NAD(P)H produced by the initial oxidations of glucose in the cytoplasm. Inhibition of cytoplasmic NAD(P)H oxidation by brain mitochondria is of peculiar importance in a tissue relying almost exclusively upon the metabolism of glucose in vitro.

Predictors of the performance of foreign medical graduates on the 1982 certifying examination in internal medicine
Authors: J. J. Norcini
Journal: JAMA (1986)

This study describes a cohort of foreign medical school graduates (FMGs) who first sat for the American Board of Internal Medicine's (ABIM) 1982 certifying examination, compares their performance with that of US medical school graduates, describes differences between US citizen FMGs and alien FMGs, and examines which background factors predict success on the ABIM examination. Data for this study were derived by combining information retained by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates with ABIM data. Most FMGs who took the 1982 ABIM certifying examination for the first time were educated in and citizens of Asia, but a sizable minority were US citizens educated in Europe. Scores and program directors' ratings were lower for FMGs than US medical school graduates, and they attended different types of training programs. United States citizen FMGs were very similar to alien FMGs. Foreign medical school graduates who did well on the ABIM examination had done well on the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates examination and were rated highly by their residency program director.

Arsenic Concentrations in Well Water and Risk of Bladder and Kidney Cancer in Finland
Authors: Paivi Kurttio, Eero Pukkala, Hanna Kahelin, Anssi Auvinen, Juha Pekkanen
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1999)

We assessed the levels of arsenic in drilled wells in Finland and studied the association of arsenic exposure with the risk of bladder and kidney cancers. The study persons were selected from a register-based cohort of all Finns who had lived at an address outside the municipal drinking-water system during 1967-1980 (n = 144,627). The final study population consisted of 61 bladder cancer cases and 49 kidney cancer cases diagnosed between 1981 and 1995, as well as an age- and sex-balanced random sample of 275 subjects (reference cohort). Water samples were obtained from the wells used by the study population at least during 1967-1980. The total arsenic concentrations in the wells of the reference cohort were low (median = 0.1 microg/L; maximum = 64 microg/L), and 1% exceeded 10 microg/L. Arsenic exposure was estimated as arsenic concentration in the well, daily dose, and cumulative dose of arsenic. None of the exposure indicators was statistically significantly associated with the risk of kidney cancer. Bladder cancer tended to be associated with arsenic concentration and daily dose during the third to ninth years prior to the cancer diagnosis; the risk ratios for arsenic concentration categories 0.1-0.5 and [Greater/equal to] 0.5 microg/L relative to the category with < 0.1 microg/L were 1.53 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.75-3.09] and 2.44 (CI, 1.11-5.37), respectively. In spite of very low exposure levels, we found some evidence of an association between arsenic and bladder cancer risk. More studies are needed to confirm the possible association between arsenic and bladder cancer risk at such low exposure levels.

<h3>Chapter XI.</h3><h3>EFFECTS OF PUTRID MATTERS ON THE BLOOD.</h3> M. Gaspard appears to have been one of the first experimenters with putrid matters. On June 19, 1809, he injected into the jugular vein of a small bitch, half an ounce of fetid liquid, arising from the simultaneous putrefaction of beef meat and dog's blood. On the instant the animal made many movements of deglutition, and very soon afterward experienced dyspnea,<i>malaise</i>and depression. She lay on her side refusing all food, and soon voided first her excrements, then her urine. In an hour's time, prostration of strength, gelatinous and bloody alvine discharges often repeated, dysentery, redness of conjunctiva; afterward, chest painful, belly hard and painful when touched; gradual extinction of strength; bilious, gelatinous and bloody vomitings. Death three hours after injection. On opening the body, yet warm, the lungs were engorged with blood and of a violet or blackish hue,
