The ability not only to provide speedy literature searches on topics of current concern on the wards but also to actually anticipate the information needs of the health care provider and to analyze the pertinent literature was well described. The great changes in the management of the U.S. health care system have contributed to the decision of many health care providers to leave the clinical arena and ...References1. Schacher LF.

Treatment of tetanus
Authors: M. Goldman
Journal: JAMA (1979)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> We recently treated a 91-year-old man with severe tetanus who exhibited a marked degree of hemodynamic instability and recurrent supraventricular tachyarrhythmia. Early in his course, he was given propranolol hydrochloride, 10 mg every six hours by nasogastric tube. This decreased the frequency of arrhythmia. Several episodes of hypotension responded promptly to appropriate fluid challenge. However, eventually hypotension occurred that was refractory to fluid challenge and for which no cardiovascular or septic cause could be identified. A dopamine infusion was started, but the patient's blood pressure responded erratically, with extremes of hypertension and hypotension observed. Administration of dopamine was discontinued. The patient's hands and feet were cold and blue; he was oliguric, his urine output was less than 10 mL/hr, and his systolic blood pressure by Doppler technique was 40 mm Hg. The patient was given 5 mg of phentolamine intravenously (IV). Several minutes after the phentolamine infusion,
Experience in monitoring drug reactions in outpatients. The Kaiser-Permanente Drug Monitoring System
Authors: G. D. Friedman
Journal: JAMA (1971)

The Kaiser-Permanente Drug Reaction Monitoring System is, to our knowledge, the first epidemiologic adverse drug reaction study that has systematically monitored ambulatory patients. Prescriptions dispensed and clinic diagnoses made at the Kaiser-Permanente medical center in San Francisco are recorded in a central patient computer medical record. Rates of untoward events developing in users and nonusers of drugs are computed and compared. Drug-event associations are evaluated as to whether a cause and effect relationship is likely. Analysis of data obtained from over 220,000 clinic and pharmacy visits made by about 75,000 patients during the period, July to December 1969, provided information about outpatient drug usage patterns and evidence both for the existence of certain adverse drug reactions and against the occurrence of others.
The external examination as an evaluation of teaching performance and student learning
Authors: D. R. Wilson
Journal: JAMA (1966)

The divisions of this symposium deal with the role of the external examination as a method of evaluation, and its application at the state and national level. My role, as I see it, is to make some comments about the functions of the external examination, and the influence they have in student learning and teaching performance. The external examination as a measurement of medical competence is now a firmly established procedure both in the United States and in Canada. Before proceeding any further with this subject, I think it would be safe to say that the authors of this symposium would agree in principle with Casberg's<sup>1</sup>comment that "A consistently weak thread running through the warp and woof of the very fabric of medical education is our examination system." If our measurement techniques had reached the level where there was uniform agreement that they could satisfactorily measure the goals

CASES OCCURRING IN THE MEDICAL PRACTICE OF THE SUSSEX COUNTY HOSPITAL DURING THE YEARS 1849, 1850, AND 1851
Authors: G. S. Jenks
Journal: BMJ (1853)

TnHEfollowing essay is compiled from three papers which I read before the Medico-Chirurgical Society, at Brighton, in the years 1850, 1851, and 1852.I was led to introduce these reports for discussion, as now I am to publish them from a conviction, first, that the results of hospital practice may be useful in their application to the exigencies as well as the statistics of a difficult and laborious profession; and, secondly, because I regard all institutions, supported by public charity, as having incurred a debt of usefulness to the whole community.The cases described occurred under my own care; aiid the nosological plan which I have adopted, is that of the Registrar General.
Ways to assess test costs vary
Authors: M. F. Goldsmith
Journal: JAMA (1990)

THE NEW TEST aimed at eliminating hepatitis C from the US blood supply is the seventh procedure that will be required to be performed on donated blood. At present, these assays include a serological test for syphilis; a test for hepatitis B surface antigen; two surrogate tests for non-A, non-B hepatitis, alanine aminotransferase and hepatitis B core antibody (the latter also detects hepatitis B); an immunoassay test for antibody to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1); and a test for antibody to human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1. In some circumstances and in some communities, blood is also tested for antibody to cytomegalovirus. The Food and Drug Administration is also considering adding to this list two new tests: one for antibody to HIV-2 and one to detect Chagas' disease (<i>JAMA</i>. 1989; 262:1433), both recently perceived as possible threats to the nation's blood supply.

Antibody response following customary use of MMR vaccine
Authors: H. H. Balfour
Journal: JAMA (1984)

<h3>In Reply.—</h3> Minnetonka, Inc, is a manufacturer and distributor of liquid soaps (SOFTSOAP, Shower-Mate, Derma Scrub, and Derma Cidol) as well as a distributor of bar soaps under such trade names as Village Bath Products, Claire Burke, and Roger &amp; Gallet. In our activities as suppliers of products to medical professionals, we were presented with questions on the proper selection of handwashing agents. A search of the literature showed to the best of our knowledge no long-term in-use studies conducted independently comparing bar and liquid soaps. This included the widely referenced Bannon and Judge<sup>1</sup>study. The research by Drs Kabara and Brady<sup>2</sup>is the first of several research reports that will be provided as evidence to medical personnel that bar soap may provide greater risk of cross-contamination than the referenced Minnetonka, Inc, liquid soaps used in the study. We believe that in order to help medical personnel make

Structural anomalies in the cerebellum in association with trisomy
Authors: K. L. Terplan
Journal: JAMA (1966)

The medical literature on chromosomal aberrations, and their relation to phenotypic abnormalities in outer form and inner organ systems has steadily increased during recent years. In reflecting on the wide spectrum of these abnormal structural changes, and on some recent attempts at their interpretation in terms of specific autosomal deviations, the need for more detailed histological analysis is apparent, in particular with regard to the central nervous system (CNS). Abnormal microscopic findings in organs which appear normal grossly, such as the kidney, pancreas, and adrenal glands have been recently reported in cases of trisomia.<sup>1</sup> It was to be expected that a microscopic study of the CNS by the conventional celloidin technique on large sections would yield findings which might be missed in the smaller sections from paraffin blocks as customarily prepared in the tissue laboratories of pathologists. Whereas such striking anomalies as the absence of olfactory nerves and tracts,
Spinal anesthesia
Authors: F. J. Spielman
Journal: JAMA (1983)

SINCE its introduction by August Bier in 1898, subarachnoid spinal anesthesia has provoked more continuous controversy than any other anesthetic technique. The very mention of the procedure elicits a stress response from our patients and colleagues as they recall reports of complications ranging in severity from unremitting headache to irreversible paralysis after subarachnoid block. However, this relatively simple procedure is widely employed because of the excellent analgesia and muscle relaxation it provides and the absence of respiratory tract irritation and cardiac depression associated with its use in controlled situations. Spinal anesthesia results from the temporary interruption of nerve transmission after injection of a local anesthetic solution into the subarachnoid space. The local anesthetic agents act on the spinal nerve roots and, possibly, the posterior and lateral areas of the spinal cord.<sup>1</sup>The rapidity of the onset of anesthesia is related to the diameter of nerve fibers. The smallest fibers
Vertigo From Perilymphatic Fistulas
Authors: Donrue C. Poole
Journal: JAMA (1986)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> Chasin, in his answer to the question relating head trauma to Meniere's disease, refers to dizziness that may mimic Meniere's disease but omits a description of specific entities.<sup>1</sup>Perilymphatic fistulas, which can cause vertigo as well as hearing loss, have been reported to occur following head trauma. Fee's<sup>2</sup>original report in 1968 described three such patients. Subsequent reports<sup>3,4</sup>have confirmed the importance of considering, evaluating, and treating this disruption of inner ear function following head trauma. Posttraumatic perilymphatic fistulas are described in a modern text on otology.<sup>5</sup>The relation of this entity to Meniere's disease was the subject of a symposium held at Dartmouth's Hitchcock Medical Center in 1984. Arenberg et al<sup>6</sup>also noted the similarity of symptoms in patients with Meniere's disease and perilymphatic fistulas. Posttraumatic perilymphatic fistulas are an entity that is susceptible to surgical repair and deserve specific mention
Making the critical choices
Authors: R. J. Blendon
Journal: JAMA (1992)

IN THE year sinceThe Journalpublished its theme issue on "Caring for the Uninsured and Underinsured" (May 15, 1991), the debate over the need for a national health plan has intensified. The already broad interest in health care reform has been widened by a diverse group of proposals by presidential candidates, members of Congress, professional associations, and national leadership groups that can be added to the 13 proposals we reviewed. Opinion surveys show that public interest in national solutions to these problems remains intense. When asked in January 1992 what issues besides the economy and foreign For editorial comment see p 2521. affairs presidential candidates should emphasize, the public ranked health care and health insurance highest among all items mentioned.<sup>1</sup>Similarly, when queried about the future content of the President's State of the Union Address, 93% of Americans reported that they thought it should include a program for
Sellar enlargement with hyperprolactinemia and a Rathke's pouch cyst
Authors: K. M. Trokoudes
Journal: JAMA (1978)

A woman with secondary amenorrhea was found to have hyperprolactinemia without clinical galactorrhea. Radiological findings of an enlarged sella turcica with displacement of the pituitary stalk were considered consistent with a prolactin macroadenoma. Treatment with bromocriptine corrected the amenorrhea and hyperprolactinemia, and the patient inadvertently became pregnant. However, no complications to the mother or fetus occurred during pregnancy or postpartum. On transsphenoidal surgery three months postpartum, the unexpected presence of a large Rathke's pouch cyst with a microadenomatous or nodular hyperplasia type of prolactin-secreting tumor was observed to account for the preoperative clinical and radiological findings.
