Abstract 16416: Wide QRS-T Angle on the 12-lead ECG as a Predictor of Sudden Death Beyond the LV Ejection Fraction
Authors: Kelvin C Chua, Carmen Teodorescu, Audrey Uy-Evanado, Kyndaron Reinier, Kumar Narayanan, Harpriya Chugh, Karen Gunson, Jonathan Jui, Sumeet S Chugh
Journal: Circulation (2015)

Introduction: If we are to improve risk stratification for sudden cardiac death (SCD) we should extend beyond the LV ejection fraction (LVEF). The frontal QRS-T angle has been shown to predict risk of SCD but its value independent of LVEF has not been investigated. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that a wide frontal QRS-T angle predicts SCD independent of LVEF. Methods: Cases of adult sudden cardiac arrest with an available electrocardiogram before the event were identified from a large ongoing population based study of SCD in the Northwest US (population approx. one million). Subjects with a computable frontal QRS-T angle were included. A total of 686 SCD cases (mean age 67.4 years; 95% CI, 52.5 to 82.3 years; 68.2% males; 83.5% whites) met criteria, and were compared to 871 controls with and without coronary artery disease (mean age 66.8 years, 55.3 to 78.3 years; 67.7% males; 90.6% whites) from the same geographical region. Results: The mean frontal QRS-T angle was higher in SCD cases (73.9 degrees; 95% CI, 17.5 to 130.3 degrees, p&lt;0.0001) compared to controls (51.1 degrees; 95% CI 5.0 to 97.2 degrees). Using a cut-off of more than 90 degrees, the frontal QRS-T angle was predictive of SCD, and remained predictive, after adjusting for age, sex, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), prolonged QTc, prolonged QRS duration and baseline comorbidities (OR 1.80; 95% CI, 1.27 to 2.55, p=0.001). On the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the QRS-T angle demonstrated an area-under-curve (AUC) value of 0.614. Compared to the lowest quartile of QRS-T angle, the highest quartile had nearly a triple increase in the risk of SCD (OR 2.71; 95% CI; 2.03 to 3.60; p&lt;0.0001). Conclusion: A wide QRS-T angle greater than 90 degrees is associated with increased risk of sudden cardiac death independent of left ventricular ejection fraction.
Elemental Analysis of Asbestos Fibers by Means of Electron Probe Techniques
Authors: Ivan B. Rubin, Carl J. Maggiore
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1974)

The identification and characterization of microparticles has become an important field of study in recent years due to their presence in the environment and association with pathogenesis. Asbestos fibers have been intensively studied for these reasons. Since conventional microscopy has not provided unique identification of these materials, electron probe microanalysis, which yields chemical data, has been utilized in conjunction with other techniques to provide the necessary answers. The options now available to undertake electron probe analysis are discussed with relation to their utilization for microparticle analyses. Two types of electron sources are available, thermionic and field emission. The x-ray spectroscopy requires the use of either wavelength-dispersive focussing crystal spectrometers or an energy-dispersive Si(Li) x-ray detector. Data are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of asbestos identification by using modified raw data obtained with a scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometer. Further, the extension of the technique to other microparticle identification problems is discussed.
Physical Activity and Life Expectancy With and Without Diabetes: Life table analysis of the Framingham Heart Study
Authors: J. T. Jonker
Journal: Diabetes Care (2006)

OBJECTIVE—Physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of developing diabetes and with reduced mortality among diabetic patients. However, the effects of physical activity on the number of years lived with and without diabetes are unclear. Our aim is to calculate the differences in life expectancy with and without type 2 diabetes associated with different levels of physical activity.

Exercise therapy 'rediscovered' for diabetes, but what does it do?
Authors: E. R. Gonzalez
Journal: JAMA (1979)

Ancient wisdom has it that physical activity is good for diabetic patients—at least those who are not ketotic or severely deficient in insulin. Celsus first advocated exercise as a component of diabetes management around the time of Christ (<i>Diabetes</i>28 [suppl 1]:107-110, 1979). But in the 1970s, says Fred Whitehouse, MD, past president of the American Diabetes Association, "exercise is being rediscovered as an important modality of treatment in diabetes by scientists who now need to identify<i>how</i>it works." One rediscoverer of exercise who discussed his findings at the recent American Diabetes Association meeting in Los Angeles was Philip Felig, MD, professor of medicine and chief of endocrinology at the Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Conn. According to Felig, he and his associates subjected six nonobese, sedentary, normal subjects to a six-week training program consisting of bicycle exercise for one hour per day, four days per week.

Utility of hepatitis C virus RNA determinations in hepatic tissue as an end point for interferon treatment of chronic hepatitis C
Authors: Ahmet Gurakar, Stefano Fagiuoli, Hawazin Faruki, Nicola De Maria, Mujdat Balkan, David H. Van Thiel, Lois Friedlander
Journal: Hepatology (1995)

A total of 41 patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) defined as abnormal liver injury test results for 6 months or more and HCV RNA positivity in plasma were studied to determine if the liver might not be the only focus of HCV infection in individuals treated with interferon alfa (IFN-α). All patients were examined for the presence of confounding liver disease and tested negatively for such findings. All tested positively for HCV RNA and had an abnormal hepatic histology. All were treated with IFN for 6 months at a dosage of 5 million units daily. After 6 months of therapy, 29 (71%) had normal alanine transaminase (ALT) values, and 25 (61%) tested negatively for HCV RNA. After 6 months of follow-up, without IFN therapy, 17 (41%) still had normal ALT values, and 16 (39%) still tested negatively for HCV RNA in serum. Patients who continued to test negatively for HCV RNA in serum after 6 months of follow-up also tested negatively for HCV RNA in the liver at the end of IFN therapy. Only 2 subjects who tested negatively for HCV RNA in the liver at the end of treatment relapsed after discontinuing IFN therapy. In contrast, patients who tested positively for HCV RNA in the liver after 6 months of therapy relapsed and tested positively for HCV RNA in serum during the 6 months of follow-up. These results suggest that (1) a nonhepatic site of HCV infection may exist; (2) this putative extrahepatic site appears to be less responsive to IFN therapy than in the liver; and (3) this unknown extrahepatic site of infection may be the source of HCV reactivation in cases that relapse during IFN follow-up periods.

Electrocardiograms
Authors: Sharon Parmet, Cassio Lynm, Richard M. Glass
Journal: JAMA (2006)

ElectrocardiogramsA n electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a recording of the electrical activity of the heart made from electrodes (electrical conductors) placed on the surface of the skin, usually on each arm and leg and across the chest.The function of the heart in expanding and contracting to pump blood to the body is controlled by small electrical impulses within the heart.These impulses can be detected by electrodes on the skin and transmitted to the electrocardiogram machine by wires.The impulses are then translated into peaks and valleys or squiggles by the ECG machine, which includes a pen that moves up and down over a long strip of paper passing through the machine at a steady rate.Each cardiac cycle, or heartbeat, is recorded as a particular series of peaks and valleys.The September 13, 2006, issue of JAMA includes an article about prolongation of an ECG interval, the QT interval.Some drugs and genetic conditions can prolong the QT interval; in a few people this can lead to dangerous abnormalities of heart rhythm.This Patient Page is based on one previously published in the April 23/30, 2003, issue of JAMA.

Journal: JAMA (1975)

Dr. McClenahan's coronary attack had beneficial results, for during his convalescence he tape-recorded his reminiscences, providing not so much a formal autobiography as a series of anecdotal vignettes. These, excellently edited, comprise the present volume, and a delightful volume it is. Born in Egypt in 1899 to a missionary family, Dr. McClenahan spent his early years in Egypt but was educated in America. "Doctor Bill" tells us about his youth, education, private practice of medicine in Philadelphia, his war experiences in the South Pacific, and then further private practice. We get to know a warm, capable practitioner who speaks modestly about his achievements and honors, who loved people and was loved by them in turn. The story, told with wit and elegance, is a delight to read. Furthermore, it constitutes a fine historical document regarding education and medical practice in an era that is unfortunately disappearing.

Monte Carlo Results for the 3-Poly Test for Animal Carcinogenicity Experiments
Authors: Wai-Yuan Tan, Jane Honyuang Zhang
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1996)

By using a two stage model of carcinogenesis, we generated Monte Carlo studies to assess the efficiency and robustness of the 3-poly test for animal carcinogenicity experiments. The Monte Carlo results indicate that the 3-poly test is quite powerful for detecting the carcinogenic effects of complete carcinogens, moderate promoters, and initiators with moderate or large effect, but, in some cases, it is less powerful for weak initiators or weak promoters. As expected, the 3-poly test is insensitive to the toxicity of many agents.

Afflictions of a Vestigial Appendage
Authors: Kenneth M. Halprin
Journal: JAMA (1968)

Noninflammatory nail changes starting at the free edge of the nail are usually due to trauma, psoriasis, or a fungus infection. By contrast the inflammatory processes are usually due to either bacterial or monilial (<i>Candida albicans</i>) infection and have their origin in the living tissue of the lateral walls of the nail groove. Thickening of the nail starting at the free edge is usually thought to be a sure sign of a fungus infection (onychomycosis). Unfortunately the same appearance of the nail occurs in psoriasis (Fig 1) when it affects the epidermis underlying the free edge of the nail. Although in psoriasis the thickening is not due to true nail plate formation but rather to a heaping up of keratin under the free edge of the nail, the clinical distinction is often impossible to determine. Another diagnostic sign of onychomycosis is the crumbling and destruction of the thickened nail, but

Hormone combination treats women's bone loss
Authors: C. Marwick
Journal: JAMA (1994)

TWO RECENT investigations of the use of androgen plus estrogen by postmenopausal women have shown that the hormone combination may, according to one study, stimulate bone formation and, per the other, increase bone mineral density. The research was reported at the fifth annual meeting of the North American Menopause Society, held in Washington, DC. The finding of the study presented by Lawrence G. Raisz, MD, professor and chair, Department of Endocrinology, University of Connecticut School of Medicine, Farmington, if confirmed, is held to be the first in which markers of bone formation were measured in women given an estrogen-androgen combination. The results are of interest because there is no drug approved in the United States as safe and effective that increases bone formation, although drugs are approved for this purpose in many European countries. The study compared a group of 13 women 50 to 80 years of age treated with

<i>Notice to Readers</i>: NNDSS Tables Have Updated “N” Indicators for 2015 and 2016
Journal: MMWR Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (2016)

CDC's National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) maintains and annually updates information about whether each Nationally Notifiable Infectious Condition (NNIC) is considered "reportable" (by health care providers, hospitals, laboratories, or other public health reporters) in each reporting jurisdiction. NNDSS personnel within the Division of Health Informatics and Surveillance performed assessments with each reporting jurisdiction to ascertain the reportable disease status of each NNIC for 2015 and 2016. NNICs that are not designated reportable are indicated with an "N"; NNICs that are reportable, but for which no cases were reported, are indicated with a "-" and NNICs that are reportable, but for which data are not available in a jurisdiction, are designated by either "U" or "NA." These designations are used in the annual MMWR Summary of Notifiable Diseases - United States and in the weekly MMWR Notifiable Diseases and Mortality Tables I and II of provisional NNDSS data.
