Journal: Diabetes Care (2006)

OBJECTIVE—No studies have been performed to examine parent perceptions of caring for adolescents with type 2 diabetes. In this qualitative study, we examined parent perceptions of barriers and strategies to address barriers to self-care in adolescents with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—Families of adolescents with type 2 diabetes were recruited from a pediatric diabetes clinic. Focus groups were used to elicit parent experiences and perceptions of diabetes management of their adolescents with type 2 diabetes. Questions concerning barriers to self-care behaviors were asked by trained group facilitators. Transcripts were coded into themes by three reviewers. Qualitative analyses were conducted using NVIVO software. RESULTS—Between 2003 and 2005, six focus groups were conducted with a total of 27 parents or guardians. Parents identified many barriers to and practical strategies for positive adolescent self-management. Five domains that influence self-management were identified: the role of others with diabetes, parenting skills, perceived lack of normalcy, environment, and adolescent development. Parents identified many barriers to dietary and exercise habits that were unique to the circumstances of adolescents with type 2 diabetes. CONCLUSIONS—Parents identified many barriers to self-management that may be unique to adolescents with type 2 diabetes. The importance of others and environmental influences in the self-management behavior of adolescents with type 2 was evident. Interventions that are designed to improve self-management should include components that address multiple influences such as peers, school professionals, parents, siblings, and/or family systems.

extremely well, obviating the need for intrathecal administration.Also we are not aware of any evidence to suggest that penicillin allergy increases the risk of adverse reactions to chloramphenicol.Consequently it would appear that when the organism is sensitive to chloramphenicol this drug is the treatment of choice for bacterial meningitis in the penicillinallergic patient.
NK cell activity decreases in thermal injury
Authors: E. R. Gonzalez
Journal: JAMA (1983)

Natural killer (NK) cells, a type of cytotoxic cell, lose their murderous proclivities in response to severe thermal injury. So reported Marshall D. Stein, PhD, at the recent Chicago meeting of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB). This finding might help to explain why burn patients are unusually susceptible to viral infection. Stein, who is assistant professor, departments of surgery and microbiology, University of Texas Medical Branch, and chief, Division of Immunology/ Microbiology, Shriners Burn Institute, Galveston, found that NK cells (which appear to be large granular lymphocytes that lyse not only viral targets but also certain tumor cell lines) were strikingly inactive in badly burned patients. In a now-standard laboratory technique, he and colleagues Gary R. Klimpel, PhD, and David N. Herndon, MD, tested NK activity in vitro in blood samples from 14 normal control subjects and 15 burn patients against radiolabeled cells of an erythroid
Kinetic Assessment of Manganese Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Dually Perfused Human Placenta In Vitro
Authors: Richard K. Miller, Donald R. Mattison, Maurice Panigel, Toni Ceckler, Robert Bryant, Peter Thomford
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1987)

The transfer and distribution of paramagnetic manganese was investigated in the dually perfused human placenta in vitro (using 10, 20, 100 microM Mn with and without 54Mn) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and conventional radiochemical techniques. The human placenta concentrated 54Mn rapidly during the first 15 min of perfusion and by 4 hr was four times greater than the concentrations of Mn in the maternal perfusate, while the concentration of Mn in the fetal perfusate was 25% of the maternal perfusate levels. Within placentae, 45% of the 54Mn was free in the 100,000g supernatant, with 45% in the 1,000g pellet. The magnetic field dependence of proton nuclear spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) in placental tissue supports this Mn binding. Mn primarily affected the MRI partial saturation rather than spin-echo images of the human placenta, which provided for the separation of perfusate contributions from those produced by Mn. The washout of the Mn from the placenta was slow compared with its uptake, as determined by MRI. Thus, Mn was concentrated by the human placenta, but transfer of Mn across the placenta was limited in either direction. These studies also illustrate the opportunity for studies of human placental function using magnetic resonance imaging as a noninvasive biomarker.

Abstract 3344: Effect of anticoagulation on the cancer stage at time of diagnosis of endometroid adenocarcinoma in a cohort of postmenopausal patients
Authors: Ghadear Shukr, Tra Pham, Thomas Buekers
Journal: Cancer Research (2019)

Abstract Objectives: We sought to determine whether postmenopausal women on chronic anticoagulation were diagnosed with endometrial cancer at an earlier stage. Methods: A retrospective case-control study of women at a tertiary care medical center with a diagnosis of Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma on chronic anticoagulation at time of diagnosis in comparison with patients not on anticoagulation was performed. Patients with personal history of cancer, including breast cancer, non-postmenopausal bleeding, and non-Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma histopathology were excluded. Anticoagulation was defined as use of Enoxaparin, Warfarin, Apixaban, Rivaroxaban or Clopidogrel. Indications for anticoagulation included atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism, or stroke. The primary outcome was Endometrioid Cancer stage (I, II, III/IV and X). The secondary outcomes were duration of bleeding to presentation and presentation to diagnosis. Statistical analysis was performed using Wilcoxan-Rank Sum Test and Cochran-Armitage Trend Test. Results: 25 postmenopausal patients met the inclusion criteria for being treated in the last 10 years. 100 controls not on anticoagulation (non-AC) were identified for a 4:1 comparison to obtain a 2-sided alpha level of 0.05. Results were divided into 3 groups: 1) All patients, 2) Non-white patients, 3) White patients. Subjects were controlled for age (P&amp;lt;0.001) and BMI (P&amp;lt;0.049). The results indicated that non-AC patients were more likely to be diagnosed at Stage 1 when compared to the AC patients in all 3 categories. The trend was not statistically significant for the non-white patients (p=0.133), but was statistically significant in the overall population (p&amp;lt;0.001) and White patients (p&amp;lt;0.001). No statistical significance was detected for duration from bleeding to presentation and presentation to diagnosis between the AC and non-AC groups. However, median days from bleeding to presentation are considerably larger for the non-AC than AC (Group 1: 42 vs 14 days, Group 2: 75 vs 33 days Group 3: 30 vs 14 days, respectively). Conclusion: Non-anticoagulated patients had an earlier cancer stage at diagnosis. Although anticoagulated patients may present earlier, they have advanced cancer stage. These findings should prompt immediate evaluation of patients on chronic anticoagulation to optimize oncologic management and prognosis. Citation Format: Ghadear Shukr, Tra Pham, Thomas Buekers.

The internist or family physician who wants a new book on cancer has many choices. He can buy one of the big ones of 2,000-plus pages, which he may use as a reference book but which few owners will ever read from cover to cover. A more practical approach is this latest addition to the series entitled<i>Internal Medicine Today: A Comprehensive Postgraduate Library</i>. This is not an encyclopedia of oncology. It is an up-to-date review of the most common aspects of the cancer problem of special interest to the general physician, such as the detection and treatment of carcinoma of the breast, the preoperative assessment of patients with primary lung cancer, the management of faradvanced lung cancer, the treatment of colorectal cancer, and the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of Hodgkin's disease and the other lymphomas. There is a separate chapter on cancer chemotherapy in general and special chapters on
Significance of the MD degree
Authors: G. R. Leymaster
Journal: JAMA (1970)

To many observers outside the medical profession and perhaps to some physicians, this title as a topic of serious discussion may seem contrived or even absurd. Doesn't everyone know what "MD" means? An MD is a doctor. A doctor takes care of sick people—if and when he can be found. Almost anyone holding an MD degree from a school that the State Board of Licensure recognizes may obtain a license entitling him to practice legally, if not well, medicine and surgery and all their branches. Thus, the MD degree is the sine qua non for the practice of medicine. Furthermore, it is the starting qualification for admission to internships, to residency training programs, and thus to specialty certification. Phrases such as "graduation from an approved medical school" appear in all descriptions of board requirements. With only a few carefully worded exceptions, hospitals uniformly require that all staff members hold MD

Intractable pain therapy using a new epidural catheter
Authors: G. B. Racz
Journal: JAMA (1982)

Conventional epidural catheters used in performing neurolytic blocks create frequent problems such as kinking, misplacement, and questionable localization of the catheter. We present a study of a new epidural catheter for injection of phenol in patients with severe pain problems. In four of five cases complete pain relief was obtained for several months. The design of this catheter provides improved localization of the injection site. (<i>JAMA</i>1982;248:579-581)

"Edema Universalis."
Authors: None M.
Journal: JAMA (1897)

New York, Dec. 10, 1897. <h3>To the Editor:</h3> —Such little blunders, as forgetting that a word ending in "a" is not always a Latin feminine, but may be, and very often is, a Greek neuter, are exceedingly unpleasant and it takes a deal of philosophy to overcome the bitterness of being corrected. Yet, let me tell you of an instance whose mention must pour balsam into any such grammatic sore. When Victor Cousin published his Plato, he wrote the title thus or about thus:<i>Platonis Opera Omnia Victor Cousin Recollexit</i>. The book with that title was spread all over Europe, over all the world, in fact, causing everybody to ask how it could be that such a great man did not know the tenses of<i>recolligo</i>.

<h3>SELECTED CASE</h3> A 33-YEAR-OLD woman presented with a history of infertility following a normal pregnancy three years previously. A hysterosalpingogram showed a fallopian tube blockage. She underwent an exploratory laparoscopy with findings that suggested chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. During a laparotomy for tubuloplasty she was found to have a ruptured adenocarcinoma of the appendix, with tumor coating the liver, diaphragm, and peritoneum. The peritoneal cavity was washed out. She remained asymptomatic, with no progression of disease seen during laparoscopy one year later. Three years later, during a physical examination, she was found to have a large, pelvic recurrence and underwent abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, and debulking of gross tumor, with residual tumor left behind. Radiographic evaluation, including a computed tomographic scan of the abdomen, an intravenous pyelogram, and a barium enema examination, showed no evidence of disease. She was then referred to the Surgery Branch of the National Cancer
