Vincent Van Gogh and glaucoma
Authors: Oscar Wand
Journal: JAMA (1971)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> While Maire does not mention the type of glaucoma that he thinks Van Gogh may have had, the reference to anisocoria (presumably one pupil is fixed and semidilated) and intermittent elevations in intraocular pressure suggest acute or subacute angle-closure glaucoma. While these conditions do indeed cause corneal epithelial edema which results in the perception of colored halos, an alternate and more plausible cause in Van Gogh's case would be nuclear sclerosis of the lens.<sup>1</sup>Further, there are some who speculate that Van Gogh was near sighted.<sup>2</sup>Were this the usual form of myopia associated with an increase in axial diameter, angle-closure glaucoma would be most unlikely. Maire suggests that Van Gogh sought the brightness of southern France for the symptomatic relief of glaucoma. Indeed, in subacute angle-closure glaucoma, eye symptoms may be vague and minimal, and an attack may be broken by pupillary constriction to
Bayes' theorem, the exercise ECG, and coronary artery disease
Authors: R. J. Jones
Journal: JAMA (1979)

Bayes' theorem was published posthumously by The Reverend Thomas Bayes in 1763.<sup>1</sup>This formula, which allows one to calculate predictability "in the doctrine of chance," has been of interest to mathematicians and statisticians ever since that time, although its value has only recently been emphasized in medicine, particularly in laboratory science. Galen and Gambino<sup>2</sup>have stressed the importance of the Bayes' equation and have prepared tables for determining the predictive value of any laboratory test. The predictability of a measurement can be estimated with precision if its sensitivity (true positives/all diseased patients), specificity (true negatives/all subjects without disease), and the prevalence of the disease under question are known. The predictive value of a positive test is the percent of all positive tests that are true positives: it can be shown to equal the product of prevalence and sensitivity divided by a denominator of that same product plus the

The Thyroid and Its Diseases
Authors: Sheldon S. Stoffer
Journal: JAMA (1985)

The first edition of this text was a solo effort by J. H. Means that was published in 1937. The work was largely based on the clinical experience of the Thyroid Clinic of the Massachusetts General Hospital. This now classic first edition was beautifully written and was steeped in clinical insights. The task of authors of succeeding editions has been to incorporate the enormous amount of new information regarding thyroid biochemistry, physiology, diagnosis, and management without destroying the flavor of Dr Means' original work. Overall, the authors of the fifth edition have done a fine job. The fifth edition is both easily readable and interesting. Thyroid diseases are covered in great depth. This text can be enjoyed by both students and seasoned thyroidologists. Even this text, however, might be made better. The current authors, unlike Dr Means, advise the reader to palpate the thyroid while standing in front of the
Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography. An improved technique
Authors: A. G. Redeker
Journal: JAMA (1975)

RECENT reports from Japan describing percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) with a new, thin needle have suggested this technique to be unusually reliable and safe.<sup>1</sup>We have performed PTC with the "Chiba needle" in 40 patients with suspected biliary tract obstruction or jaundice of uncertain cause. <h3>Procedure</h3> The needles used in this procedure were developed at Chiba University, Chiba, Japan. This very flexible needle with stylet is made of steel, 15 to 17 cm long and 0.7 mm in diameter. A radiopaque marker (coin) was placed on the xiphoid process. The needle entry site was usually in the midaxillary line at the level of the eighth or ninth intercostal space. The needle was inserted parallel to the x-ray table, attempting to position its tip just under the coin marker but not beyond the midvertebral line. Throughout the procedure the patients were permitted normal respiration. After removing the stylet, contrast medium was

Antenatal screening for syphilis should not be abandoned Antenatal screening for syphilis in the United Kingdom is routine but lacks any formal or evidence based policy.On p 1617 Hurtig et al report on the first national surveys of syphilis in pregnancy and congenital syphilis.Over three years 121 of the 139 pregnant women treated for syphilis by genitourinary medicine specialists were detected through antenatal screening.Women from ethnic minority groups, who were born abroad, or who were living in London were overrepresented, but cases also occurred in white women born in the United Kingdom and living outside London.Seventeen children were found with presumptive or possible congenital syphilis; mothers not receiving antenatal care or late booking was a risk factor.The authors conclude that abandoning or targeting screening is inadvisable.
An evaluation of the effect of smoking on coronary heart disease. I. Epidemiological evidence
Authors: C. C. Seltzer
Journal: JAMA (1968)

In January 1964, the Surgeon General's Advisory Committee on Smoking and Health<sup>1</sup>in considering the available information on smoking and coronary heart disease (CHD) (International Statistical Classification [ISC] 420) reported that "male cigarette smokers have a higher death rate from coronary artery disease than nonsmoking males, but it is not clear that the association has casual significance." Three points should be noted. First, the committee left no doubt that there was a consistent statistically significant association among cigarette smokers of increased mortality and morbidity from CHD in men, particularly during middle life. Seven large completed or current prospective studies of smoking and death rate gave a CHD median mortality ratio (current cigarette smokers to nonsmokers) of 1.7, with no significant excess deaths among cigar and pipe smokers. Second, the committee recognized that certain factors other than smoking were known or thought to predispose to the condition or to be
IUD Appendicitis
Authors: M. Lawrence Rubinoff
Journal: JAMA (1975)

WITH the increasing use of the intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) there have been increasing complications. The following report is believed to be the first recorded case of the perforation of an intrauterine device from the uterus and the subsequent perforation into the appendix. <h3>Report of a Case</h3> A 26-year-old gravida 0 para 0 woman first came to my office on June 28, 1974, because of generalized abdominal discomfort and perineal condyloma acuminata. After the removal of the venereal warts, a pelvic examination was performed and it was noted that the IUD that the patient claimed she had was not visible at the cervix. The patient had had an IUD (shield type) for a two-year period. This had been removed two months previously and on the same day a new copper IUD (Cu-7 type) was inserted. The patient stated that two days subsequent to the insertion of the new IUD she observed

EXPIRATORY PRESSURE
Authors: Karl Schutz
Journal: JAMA (1952)

<h3>To the Editor:—</h3> Dr. Alvan L. Barach stresses the importance of expiratory pressure breathing with pursed lips in his article "Remissions in Bronchial Asthma and Hypertrophic Pulmonary Emphysema" inThe Journalof Oct. 20, 1951. The fact that the importance of respiratory exercises as a therapeutic measure is explained by Dr. Barach, a student of great experience in respiratory therapy, is to be greatly appreciated. Long personal experience taught me that respiratory exercises are a fundamental part of the treatment of patients with bronchial asthma and pulmonary emphysema. While not intending to detract from Dr. Barach's splendid article, I wish to point out that I have used expiratory pressure breathing with pursed lips with success in cases of bronchial asthma and pulmonary emphysema in the years before 1935 (Respiratory Therapy and Physical Exercise,<i>Wien. klin. Wchnschr.</i><b>48</b>:392 [March 29] 1935). I used this expiratory technique as a therapeutic measure

Use of services for prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Angola: a retrospective analysis
Authors: Gonçalo F Augusto
Journal: The Lancet Global Health (2013)

BackgroundAfter a long civil war (1975–2002) that destroyed much of the country's health infrastructure, Angola faced the challenge of reconstruction while fighting HIV/AIDS. Despite expansion of services for prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) since 2004, Angola was included as one of the 22 priority countries for UNAIDS Global Plan Towards The Elimination Of New HIV Infections Among Children By 2015 And Keeping Their Mothers Alive. We assessed recent progress in access and use of PMTCT services in Angola.MethodsWe analysed data for PMTCT between 2005 and 2012. We collected data from national and international reports, including the report of UN General Assembly Special Session and the WHO Progress Report on HIV Treatment. We assessed progress made, developed best-fit regression models, and predicted future points for five indicators of PMTCT: estimated number of HIV-positive pregnant women in need of PMTCT, number of PMTCT sites, proportion of pregnant women tested for HIV, proportion of HIV-positive pregnant women, and proportion of HIV-positive pregnant women who received any antiretroviral therapy.FindingsThe number of PMTCT sites increased from nine in 2005, to 347 in 2012, and the number of pregnant women tested for HIV increased from 12 061 to 314 805 over the same period. However, in 2012, fewer than half (n=2656) of the pregnant women who tested positive for HIV (n=5805) were receiving PMTCT—ie, only 17% of the HIV-positive pregnant women in Angola are being reached by PMTCT services. Our models predict that by 2015, 520 PMTCT sites will exist in Angola, 52% of pregnant women will be tested for HIV, 0·6% of women will test positive for HIV at PMTCT sites, and 43% of HIV-positive pregnant women identified at PMTCT sites will receive antiretroviral therapy. Additionally, in a post-hoc analysis, new HIV infections among children increased by 12% between 2009 and 2012, with Angola the only country among the 22 priority countries where no progress took place.InterpretationAngola is unlikely to meet the goals of the Global Plan in 2015. Despite expansion of PMTCT services and an increase in HIV testing for pregnant women, urgent action is needed to rapidly scale-up HIV prevention and treatment services for HIV-positive pregnant women and for children.FundingNone.
Nonunion of tibial fracture with bone defect
Authors: O. E. Aufranc
Journal: JAMA (1966)

Dr. Turner: A 19-year-old college student was thrown through the rear door of an automobile following a two-car collision. He was admitted to a hospital in a neighboring state and was found to have the following multiple injuries: bilateral fractured pubic rami; bladder and urethral lacerations; bilateral closed femoral-shaft fractures; closed fracture-dislocation of the right ankle; closed fracture of the right medial tibial plateau; right peroneal nerve palsy; open fractures of the left tibia and fibula with gross contamination and loss of approximately five inches of the middle portion of the tibia. Blood supply and sensation were entirely normal in the left foot. After initial management of shock by transfusion with seven units of whole blood, laparotomy was performed to repair the lacerated bladder. He was placed in bilateral balanced suspension with bilateral proximal tibial wires for traction. The left leg wound was debrided and packed open, but became grossly
Three doses of HPV vaccine still recommended, for now
Journal: BMJ (2013)

Three doses of HPV vaccine still recommended, for now JAMA 2013;309:1793-802 Vaccines against human papilloma viruses (HPV) are immunogenic in young girls and we know they prevent clinical disease in young women.So trials testing different dose schedules in young girls aim for immune responses as good as the effective immune responses achieved in young women.The latest trial found that girls aged 9-13 years who were given two doses of the quadravalent vaccine Gardasil had comparable immune responses to young women given the recommended three doses.They also had comparable immune responses to young girls given the recommended three doses, but immunity didn't last quite as long against some HPV subtypes.HPV vaccines are expensive, and many countries are struggling to organise and pay for schedules that currently require teenage girls to attend for three doses, say the authors.Two doses would be cheaper, easier to manage, and may even encourage uptake, but only if two doses protect as well as three, for as long as three.The new trial suggests that two doses give girls effective protection (an immune response non-inferior to clinically protected women), but waning antibody levels remain a worry, says a linked editorial (p 1832).After two years, girls given two doses of the quadravalent vaccine had lower concentrations of antibodies against HPV-18 than girls given three.Two doses gave inferior protection against HPV-6 after three years.Two dose schedules can't be recommended yet, says the editorial.This randomised trial was funded by the Canadian government.
