Journal: BMJ (1982)

Twenty patients out of 38 (52 60' ) who had undergone haemodialysis for one to 80 months (mean 28 1 months) were found to have eosinophilia (eosinophils > 400/mm3) in a random examination (December 1980) in the first unit, while 16 out of 31 patients (51 6%) whose dialysis had lasted from three to 68 months (mean 29-7 months) had eosinophilia in the second unit.Thirty patients from the latter unit who had received dialysis for 20-72 months, who had eosinophil counts at least once a month, were included in this study also.Sixteen out of 30 of these (5333%) never developed eosinophilia during the observation period, six (20%) developed constant eosino- philia, and eight (26 7%) developed transient eosinophilia.This study also shows that during the first two years there is a progressive increase in the mean eosinophil count of the patients, which remains almost constant during the following years (figure).No correlation was found with 4.00 300-Mean eosinophil count/mm¾3 SE 200 - n= 18 100 Before 1 2 3 4 dialysis Years on dialysisEosinophil counts in patients undergoing dialysis.
Hepatitis A: New information on an old virus
Authors: Chris J. Dickinson
Journal: Hepatology (1992)

ABSTRPlCT An outbreak of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) provided the opportunity to examine the duration of HAV excretion in infants and the mechanisms by which HAV epidemics are propagated in NICUs. The outbreak affected 13 NICU infants (20%), 22 NICU nurses (24%), 8 other staff caring for NICU infants, and 4 household contacts; 2 seropositive infants (primary cases) received blood transfusions from a donor with HAV infection. Risk factors for infection among nurses were care for a primary infant–case (relative risk [RR], 3.2), drinking beverages in the unit (odds ratio [OR], ∞), and not wearing gloves when taping an intravenous line (OR, 13.7). Among infants, risk factors were care by a nurse who cared for a primary infant–case during the same shift (RR, 6.1). Serial stool samples from infantcases were tested for HAV antigen (HAV–Ag) by enzyme immunoassay and HAV RNA by nucleic acid amplification using the polymerase chain reaction. Infantcases excreted HAV–Ag ( n = 2) and HAV RNA ( n = 3) 4-5 months after they were identified as being infected. Breaks in infection control procedures and possibly prolonged HAV shedding in infants propagated the epidemic in a critical care setting.
Recurrent herpes simplex infection at a smallpox vaccination site
Authors: L. Mintz
Journal: JAMA (1982)

A patient who received smallpox vaccinations to treat a recurrent genital herpes simplex virus infection had development of recurrent herpes at the vaccination site while his genital lesions continued unabated. Until smallpox vaccine is removed from the general market or reclassified as a restricted biological, the inappropriate use of this agent will continue. (<i>JAMA</i>1982;247:2704-2705)

Comparison of Schilling test and plasma level of cyanocobalamin Co 57
Authors: D. Coiner
Journal: JAMA (1971)

Because of several undesirable features of the widely used Schilling test, results of this test and plasma levels of cyanocobalamin Co 57 were compared in 111 patients. The plasma test resulted in good separation of values between normal subjects and patients with vitamin B12 absorption defects. One patient with malabsorption had an unexplained falsely normal plasma concentration. On the other hand, over 5% of normal and over 50% of uremic patients had false-positive results of the Schilling test and normal plasma levels. The plasma test is more helpful than the Schilling test for patients with renal insufficiency and mental disturbances. It is a helpful adjuvant to the Schilling test to avoid mistakes in interpretation and repetitive tests. However, because of the consequences of missing a diagnosis of vitamin B<sub>12</sub>deficiency, the plasma test cannot be recommended exclusively as a substitute for the urine test at this time.

This month's editorial lays out five reasons why providing surgery should be considered a global health priority, and argues that surgery could play an essential role in meeting many of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Surgical conditions constitute a substantial amount of the global burden of disease and they disproportionately affect the world's rural poor in the lowest income countries—a fact highlighted in a paper (Ozgediz et al., e121) published in June, which argued that essential surgical care must be recognized as a basic human right by the global public health community. By understanding the role that surgical services can play in reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, tackling infectious diseases, and alleviating poverty, the editorial suggests that they can outgrow their status as the "neglected stepchild of global public health."

DIAPHRAGMATIC HERNIA
Authors: JOHN HOMER WOOLSEY
Journal: JAMA (1927)

Diaphragmatic hernia is not a rare lesion as is generally supposed, but it was a rare clinical observation until the advent of the roentgen ray. The symptomatology is now so sufficiently well established and the knowledge of its occurrence such an evident fact that consideration of it must be given in any infant demonstrating certain characteristic signs, as respiratory difficulty, dextrocardia, or recurrent gastro-intestinal obstruction symptoms, or in any traumatism in which there has been a direct blow to the abdomen or chest or because of which fractured ribs or increased abdominal strain have resulted. The lesion is "amenable to surgical treatment" as a result of the advance in operative technic and our increased knowledge of thoracic behavior. However, as Richards<sup>1</sup>states, "confusion and uncertainty underlying this surgical enthusiasm exists and indicates not only uncertain but inaccurate knowledge of the fundamental principles of diaphragmatic hernia." <h3>DEFINITION</h3> A diaphragmatic hernia is
Methadone and theories of addiction
Journal: JAMA (1989)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> Dr Dole<sup>1</sup>proposes that opiate addiction is related to a "persistent" derangement of the endogenous ligand-receptor complex system. This theory seems to have some merit but if we conclude, as Dr Dole does, that the defect is best "compensated for" by methadone we must ignore a lot of conflicting data. The facts show that even when taking methadone, a large percentage of addicts continue to abuse illegal drugs and alcohol; now that cocaine is as prevalent as it is, the situation seems to be getting worse.<sup>2</sup>In fact, most of the people who do well in methadone maintenance programs have the same demographic variables as people who do well in drug-free treatment programs.<sup>3</sup> Fortunately, there is an effective form of treatment for many opiate addicts that seems to allow the receptor complex to normalize. It consists of a program of abstinence from all mood

Next Patient
Authors: W. Blake Rodgers
Journal: JAMA (1987)

It was hot. 100° at least outside and in the 6 by 6-ft sheet cubicle I called an office, it was 106°. I know because that's what my thermometer said every time I picked it up. 106° and no windows. It was hot. I stepped into the hallway to pick up the next patient's chart. Reaching for it, I noticed the concentric stains that started under my arms had disappeared behind my tie. It was hot—the kind of heat we'd get in lower Alabama, the kind of heat that made kids fidgety and adults grumpy, the kind of heat you spent half your patient time complaining about. It was hot. The "doctor" is getting grumpy, too. Next patient. "Doctor" because I was in name only. Actually I was a first-year medical student working in Alabama with a student group that provided free medical screening to anyone who would put up

Up to Date in Pulmonary and Critical Care.
Authors: C Van Den Bosch, T Sundkvist, W Weir, D O'sullivan, R Heathcock, J Strangeways, T Ellam
Journal: Thorax (1999)

We agree with Richard Coker 1 that the vast majority of non-compliant cases of tuberculosis can be dealt with by a mixture of directly observed therapy (DOT) and inducements.However, when DOT fails in a few cases each year, despite intensive team eVort and carrots such as housing or food vouchers, the Public Health Act may have to be invoked.We have had recourse to this measure four times in the past six months but, though providing valuable breathing space, it is extremely costly and proved ineVectual as a solution each time.Once the patient is admitted there are still potential problems.Treatment cannot be enforced and patients can abscond.There have also been instances of patients assaulting staV, physically and sexually, issuing death threats, breaking hospital property, and terrorising other patients, even interfering with others' oxygen therapy.Dealing with such patients puts hospital staV and patients under unacceptable pressure and requires extra staYng for security purposes.NHS hospitals were not designed for, nor are they staVed adequately for, custodial purposes.There is an urgent need to review the Public Health Act and make provisions for small specialist units staVed by nurses with training in and an aptitude for interpersonal skills.Admission to the unit would usually only be required for short periods of time until precipitating circumstances were resolved and alternative arrangements made.The threat of compulsory admission, or a short period thereof, may induce a behavioural change in the patient, allowing DOT to be successful after failing previously.In addition, a centrally based mobile unit of trained staV could be available to help tide teams over emergencies and could reduce the need for the specialist unit, enabling more non-adherent patients to be managed in the community.We call upon the Department of Health to examine and implement these proposals.

Xeromammography in early detection of breast cancer
Authors: L. Kalisher
Journal: JAMA (1975)

Sixty-four carcinomas were detected in 1,315 women examined by xeromammography in 1973. Seventeen carcinomas were occult and 14 were detected in women referred for clinically benign lesions. The remaining 33 carcinomas were diagnosed on the basis of both clinical and roentgenographic examination. There were three false-negatives. Two of these lesions were obscured by very dense fibrocystic disease. The third lesion was called benign due to an error in interpretation. There were eight false-positives; four of these demonstrated intraductal hyperplasia and asymmetry, which may be a precursor to frank malignant change. Xeromammography is suggested as a highly accurate means of detecting occult mammary carcinomas and clarifying the nature of clinically suspected lesions. (<i>JAMA</i>234:60-63, 1975)
Animal Experimentation and Its Relevance to Man
Authors: D. G. Hoel
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1979)

The problem of quantitatively estimating human cancer risk based upon animal carcinogenesis studies is reviewed. Mathematical functions for dose-response relationships are discussed with particular emphasis on multistage models. These models are based upon a single cell somatic mutation theory for the carcinogenesis process. It is shown that the multistage model and others which incorporate background additively are well approximated in low dose region by a linear function. The relationship between time-to-tumor and the multistage model is indicated. This relationship is important when dealing with less than life time exposure such as with data from many occupational studies. Design of bioassay experiments and its impact on risk estimation is noted. Finally, the problem of species-to-species extrapolation is considered.
