Bacteria (germs) are always present on the skin surface. Skin bacteria that get into the blood sample while it is being drawn can make it look as though patients have a blood infection when they really do not. To prevent contamination of blood cultures, it is important to disinfect the skin thoroughly before drawing blood for these tests. The cleaning solutions used most commonly for this purpose are chlorhexidine and povidone-iodine. It is not known, however, ...

Extended use of disposable pressure transducers. A bacteriologic evaluation
Authors: R. L. Luskin
Journal: JAMA (1986)

In a prospective randomized study, contamination rates of disposable pressure transducers changed every two days (n=81) were compared with those changed at four (n=26) or eight days (n = 50); the mean daily incidence of contamination was 3% for each group. After four days of use, the cumulative prevalences of contamination were similar. However, after eight days, the cumulative prevalence was significantly higher in transducers used without change (6.9%) than in those changed every two days (2.9%). Gram-negative bacilli were present in 63% of contaminated transducers; over half were from the patients' own flora. The only definite transducer-related bacteremia occurred on a day of initial contamination and should have been unaffected by the interval of change. Routine use of disposable transducers can be safely extended to four days, even in a busy intensive care unit. (<i>JAMA</i>1986;255:916-920)

Interferon and genital warts: much potential, modest progress
Authors: P. Kirby
Journal: JAMA (1988)

Genital infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is an important sexually transmitted disease that is increasing in prevalence and is associated with genital neoplasia. An office See also pp 533. based survey of consultations for genital warts in the United States documented a 580% increase between 1966 and 1983.<sup>1</sup>Genital HPV infection is the most commonly diagnosed viral sexually transmitted disease and, with gonorrhea and chlamydial infection, one of the three most frequently diagnosed sexually transmitted diseases. Furthermore, it is apparent that the classic exophytic genital wart, or condyloma acuminatum, is only one manifestation of genital HPV infection and that many, if not most, infections are undetectable with routine inspection. These "subclinical" infections are diagnosed using the techniques of colposcopy, cytology, histology, HPV antigen detection, and DNA hybridization, although each of these has limitations in sensitivity, specificity, or both. Molecular hybridization has shown a prevalence of genital HPV infection of
PANOVA: A pilot study of TTFields concomitant with gemcitabine for front-line therapy of advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Authors: Fernando Rivera, Javier Gallego, Carmen Guillen, Manuel Benavides, Jose A. Lopez-Martin, Marc Kueng
Journal: Journal of Clinical Oncology (2016)

4125 Background: TTFields are alternating electric fields delivered to the region of the tumor by means of non-invasive transducer arrays surrounding the abdominal region. TTFields have an anti-mitotic effect by interfering with mitotic spindle formation, leading to apoptosis. In pancreatic cancer, TTFields decreased proliferation and clonogenic potential in vitro, and reduced tumor volume in vivo. The PANOVA trial is the first study testing TTFields in pancreatic cancer patients. Methods: Twenty advanced pancreatic cancer patients were enrolled in a prospective study of TTFields concomitant with weekly gemcitabine. All patients had unresectable tumors, an ECOG performance score of 0-1 and no prior therapy. The primary endpoint was the incidence and severity of treatment emergent adverse events. Results: The median age was 73 (range – 49-81) and most patients (80%) had an ECOG score of 1. Thirteen patients (65%) had distant metastases. Median compliance with TTFields was 78% (14 hours/day), with median duration of 5 months. Fourteen patients (70%) had serious AEs during the study period. Ten patients (50%) had treatment-related skin toxicity, of which only 2 were grade 3, both resolved with appropriate treatment. No TTFields-related serious AEs were reported. The median PFS was 8.3 months (95% CI 4.3, 10.3): 10.3 months (95% CI 2.8, NA) in locally advanced patients and 5.7 months (95% CI 3.8 - 10.3) in patients with metastatic disease. PFS rate at 6 months was 56%. Of the evaluable tumors, 30% had partial response and another 30% stable disease. The median OS for all patients was 14.9 months: It was not reached after 15 months in locally advanced patients, and was 8.3 months (95% CI 4.3-14.9) in patients with metastatic disease. The 1-year survival rate was 55% (86% in locally advanced and 40% in metastatic disease). Conclusions: TTFields concomitant to gemcitabine are tolerable and safe for advanced pancreatic cancer patients, with promising clinical outcome compared to published data for gemcitabine alone. An extension of the current protocol is testing patients treated with gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel and TTFields. Clinical trial information: NCT01971281.

Organ donation from intensive care units in England
Authors: S. M Gore, A. J Rutherford, C. J Hinds
Journal: BMJ (1989)

perhaps fewer are ventilated in other hospitals.As computed tomographic scanners become available in more general hospitals, fewer hopeless cases of head injury (and cases of intracranial haemorrhage) are likely to be referred to neurosurgeons.That could mean more potential donors in other hos- pitals.International comparisons of brain stem death and organ donation should allow for the fact that the incidence of fatal head injuries is two to three times greater in the United States, Canada, Australia, France, and Germany than in Britain and that the number of intensive care beds per head is 10 times greater in the United States.We hope that the further planned audits of deaths in intensive care units in England may throw more light on the factors that influence the yield of organ donors.
Surgical treatment of experimental mycardial infarction
Authors: J. R. Jude
Journal: JAMA (1968)

Ventricular function after ligation of the anterior descending coronary artery improves significantly after excision of the ischemic portion of the left ventricle. Two of ten dogs survived ligation of the anterior descending coronary artery. The remaining animals died of acute arrhythmia or congestive heart failure. Four of ten dogs survived excision of an acute infarct. The dogs that died did so of causes unrelated to heart failure. After complete recovery, the animals which had ligation of the artery showed no increase in cardiac output with exercise, while dogs that had the infarct excised showed an almost normal increase. Cineventriculograms performed 24 hours and three to five months after the operation showed improved ventricular contraction in the animals that had the infarct excised.
Exercise is the answer for stress incontinence
Journal: BMJ (1999)

Exercise is the answer for stress incontinence Urinary incontinence is a common condition in women, causing withdrawal from physical activities and reduction in quality of life.The most common type of urinary incontinence in women is genuine stress incontinence, with pregnancy and childbirth being the main cause.On p 487 Bø et al report the results of a 6 month comparison of the three most commonly recommended conservative treatments-pelvic floor exercises, electrical stimulation, and vaginal cones-in over 100 women with stress incontinence.Pelvic floor exercises were superior to the other methods in increasing strength of the pelvic floor muscles and reducing leakage; they were also well tolerated and had no side effects.

Mycology
Authors: Otis Field Jillson
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (1953)

THE last Medical Progress report on mycology was presented in 1945 by Downing and Conant.1 The present report covers the major advances in medical mycology since that time, and previous articles are used only for orientation. There have been tremendous advances in the field of medical mycology in the last eight years. A few of the milestones may be enumerated: the recognition of the benign, common forms of histoplasmosis; the diagnosis and surgical treatment of coccidioidal pulmonary residua; the treatment of blastomycosis with stilbenes; the utilization of periodic acid Schiff stain to demonstrate fungi in tissue; and the advance and . . .
Intensive Scares
Authors: R. Rao
Journal: BMJ (2003)

BBC 1, 14 to 28 August at 9 pm Rating: ![Graphic][1]</img>![Graphic][2]</img> In the 21st century, media coverage faces tough challenges. As far back as the 1880s, the US newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst defined news as “anything that makes the reader say, ‘gee whiz!'” However, it is tempting for reporters to turn investigative reporting into lurid sensationalism, as they have tended to do in parts of this series. Intensive Scares , a set of three weekly programmes, focuses on the clinical consequences of acute hospital care. The programmes have attempted to portray real-life experiences by letting people tell their own stories as much as possible. Any expert opinion is confined to a minimum, and only then within a clinical context. The first episode, “Heart Ache,” opened with the line “When you go into hospital for heart surgery, you don't expect to get brain damage.” It then looked at the day to day experiences of four people who had undergone heart … [1]: /embed/inline-graphic-1.gif [2]: /embed/inline-graphic-2.gif
