Leishmaniasis in the United States. A report of ten cases in military personnel
Authors: F. Kern
Journal: JAMA (1973)

We treated ten cases of leishmaniasis caused by<i>Leishmania braziliensis</i>. The patients had been in an endemic area for ten days as part of a military exercise. The cutaneous lesions were chronic and unresponsive to antibiotic therapy. Treatment consisted of daily intramuscular injections of sodium stibogluconate, a pentavalent antimony compound, and serious side effects were not encountered. The diagnosis of leishmaniasis is usually easily made and should be considered in patients who have recently returned from endemic areas.

Cesarean section
Authors: D. N. Danforth
Journal: JAMA (1985)

CESAREAN section has been an integral part of obstetrics ever since the revolutionary article of Sänger<sup>1</sup>in 1882, in which he directed attention to the necessity of suturing the uterine incision. In the ensuing years the operation has been repeatedly modified to improve its safety. As safety has increased, so too has the range of problems that cesarean section is used to solve, to a degree that some consider to be a cause for concern.<sup>2</sup>In 1970, about 195,000 cesarean sections were performed in US hospitals, an incidence of about 5.5%; in 1978, there were 510,000 women who had abdominal deliveries, accounting for 15.2% of hospital deliveries.<sup>3</sup>The figures continue to rise (Fig 1), but the indications for performing the operation are so broad that it is unreasonable to anticipate any major increase in the immediate future. Indeed, in a few areas the indications may become more
Clinical Connections
Journal: Arthritis & Rheumatology (2017)

The NLRP3 inflammasome is an important molecular platform for innate immunity.Extracellular and endogenous danger signals can induce activation of the NLRP3 protein.Activated NLRP3 in turn recruits the downstream adapter proteins ASC and procaspase 1 to form the NLRP3 inflammasome, leading to self-catalysis of procaspase 1 to active caspase 1 and cleavage of inactive pro-interleukin-1β (proIL-1β) and proIL-18 to produce their corresponding mature forms, which initiate inflammation.Fu and colleagues show that there is significant activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in podocytes from the kidneys and in the urine of lupus nephritis patients as well as from the kidneys of lupus-prone mice.NLRP3 inflammasome activity is associated with pathogenic IgG that induces mitochondrial injury and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.Pharmacologic inhibition of NLRP3 activation resulted in reduction of proteinuria, preservation of podocyte microstructure, and amelioration of histopathologic damage.
Weight reduction pills
Authors: R. C. Henry
Journal: JAMA (1967)

<h3>To the Editor:—</h3> The hazards inherent in the use of certain popular multicolored weight-reduction pills which are being distributed in this area should be brought to the attention of the medical profession. At least six deaths, apparently related to these pills, have been studied in this office in the past two years. The deaths have occurred in individuals who were known to be taking the so-called rainbow pills for weight reduction. A possible mechanism of death in these cases is suggested by the following nonfatal case reports: A 38-year-old woman noted the gradual onset of muscle weakness. Over a period of three days quadriplegia and severe respiratory difficulty developed. She was thought to have an acute ascending Landry's-type paralysis and was admitted to the hospital to be placed in a respirator. The patient was found to have profound hypokalemia (serum potassium value of 1.6 mEq/ liter). The administration of potassium
A Randomized Controlled Trial of Family Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy Guided Self-Care for Adolescents With Bulimia Nervosa and Related Disorders
Authors: Ulrike Schmidt
Journal: American Journal of Psychiatry (2007)

Objective: To date no trial has focused on the treatment of adolescents with bulimia nervosa. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of family therapy and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) guided self-care in adolescents with bulimia nervosa or eating disorder not otherwise specified. Method: Eighty-five adolescents with bulimia nervosa or eating disorder not otherwise specified were recruited from eating disorder services in the United Kingdom. Participants were randomly assigned to family therapy for bulimia nervosa or individual CBT guided self-care supported by a health professional. The primary outcome measures were abstinence from binge-eating and vomiting, as assessed by interview at end of treatment (6 months) and again at 12 months. Secondary outcome measures included other bulimic symptoms and cost of care. Results: Of the 85 study participants, 41 were assigned to family therapy and 44 to CBT guided self-care. At 6 months, bingeing had undergone a significantly greater reduction in the guided self-care group than in the family therapy group; however, this difference disappeared at 12 months. There were no other differences between groups in behavioral or attitudinal eating disorder symptoms. The direct cost of treatment was lower for guided self-care than for family therapy. The two treatments did not differ in other cost categories. Conclusions: Compared with family therapy, CBT guided self-care has the slight advantage of offering a more rapid reduction of bingeing, lower cost, and greater acceptability for adolescents with bulimia or eating disorder not otherwise specified.
Clinical Arthrography
Authors: J. Mcivor
Journal: Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases (1981)

The book is written in the form of separate articles by different authors but linked up very effectively with cross- references and a comprehensive index, so that it does not appear to be discontinuous.It is therefore easy to read, and the enthusiasm of the authors for their subjects comes across in each chapter, making the approach to a large field varied and interesting.It is also sufficiently concise for revision purposes, with adequate references for more detailed study if required.The illustrations are generally good, but pictures of macroscopic pathology are lacking in some chapters.I also thought that the separation of the morbid anatomy from the clinical picture was an artificial and unnecessary division and would probably be more useful if integrated into the relevant chapters.Altogether, this is a very readable and useful book, which is realistically priced for the undergraduate student.
Pulmonary shunting during leukoagglutinin-induced noncardiac pulmonary edema
Authors: M. Dubois
Journal: JAMA (1980)

Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema occurred in an anesthetized patient during an otherwise uneventful laparotomy. Following transfusion of an individual unit of whole blood, routine intraoperative monitoring detected sudden major pulmonary shunting (increased alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient) and an increased physiological alveolar dead space (increased arterial-alveolar carbon dioxide gradient). The noncardiac pulmonary edema probably resulted from the presence of a leukoagglutinin against the patient's granulocytes in the donor's plasma. This antibody had no apparent specificity for known HLA, neutrophil, or blood group antigens. The acute respiratory failure was transient, resolving in 72 hours with respiratory support. The presence of otherwise unexplained noncardiogenic pulmonary edema during or soon after a blood transfusion should suggest the possible diagnosis of a leukoagglutinin reaction.

Diphenylhydantoin toxicity
Authors: R. H. Helfant
Journal: JAMA (1967)

<h3>To the Editor:—</h3> Tanenbaum (<b>200</b>: 899, 1967) reported a case of dermatitis due to a spandex brassiere in a woman with allergic hypersensitivity to mercaptobenzothiazole. Dickey has reported similar instances in women in whom allergic contact dermatitis developed due to wearing stretch brassieres of spandex fibers (Duraspan) which contain mercaptobenzothiazole.<sup>1</sup>I have also documented such cases.<sup>2</sup> Not all spandex fibers contain mercaptobenzothiazole. Lycra, Vyrene, Numa, and Blue "C" are spandex fibers which contain no mercaptobenzothiazole. Brassieres and foundation garments manufactured from such spandex fibers may be safely worn by individuals with allergic hypersensitivity to either mercaptobenzothiazole or rubber. My studies have shown that mercaptobenzothiazole is a common and potent sensitizer and is the principal cause of allergic hypersensitivity to rubber wearing apparel.<sup>3</sup> The individual with allergic hypersensitivity to rubber wearing apparel must not only substitute mercaptobenzothiazole-free spandex garments, but must also be certain to obtain spandex brassieres
Environmental Tobacco Smoke and Measures of Subclinical Vascular Disease
Authors: George Howard, Lynne E. Wagenknecht
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1999)

Assessing the relationship of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) with subclinical measures of atherosclerotic disease supplements the epidemiologic data on fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events.In addition, such assessment offers the opportunity to study smaller populations (including subgroups within larger studies) through improved statistical precision relative to the analysis of the relationship of ETS and clinical events and provides insights into the mechanisms of the harmful effects of ETS.In this article we review the published literature on the relationship of ETS with several indices of subclinical atherosclerosis including carotid artery intimal-medial thickness, brachial artery endothelial functioning, and silent cerebral infarctions.In each of these domains, exposure to ETS is associated with evidence of increased subclinical vascular disease.
'Electronic hearing' draws mixed reviews
Authors: B. Burke
Journal: JAMA (1982)

An electronic hearing system has enabled more than 50 people who were classified as totally deaf to understand some speech, according to its inventor, French surgeon Claude-Henri Chouard, MD, a professor at the University of Paris medical school. The method involves implantation of 12 electrodes in the inner ear to stimulate the auditory nerve. It has been used for both congenital and acquired deafness, and the first patients, operated on more than five years ago, continue to have some hearing capacity. Based on results so far, Chouard estimates that this system could give some understanding of speech to 80% to 90% of those who are totally deaf and could enable 60% to understand speech reasonably well, although not as well as people with normal hearing. In the United States, an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 persons are totally deaf. However, one American researcher calls Chouard's technique "quite controversial," and Michel Portmann,

Journal: Gut (1983)

Potential hazards of intraoperative cholangiography in patients with infected bile SIR,-I write to comment on this interesting article by N J Lygidakis (Gut 1982; 23: 1015-8).I do not feel that the suggested conclusions drawn from the study are substantiated by the facts presented.Firstly, the trial had a totally non-randomised selection method thereby not allowing true compar- ability between the groups.Secondly, the post- operative bacteraemia incidence is higher in the group who received the uncontrolled pressure chol- angiography.It is stated that in this group the 'injection pressure was high'.There is no mention in the article of any pressure measurements being undertaken in this group.Were the pressures recorded or is it just an assumption that the pressure was high?The value of any prophylactic antibiotic regime is that it results in therapeutic drug levels in the tissues and circulation at the time when bacteria are inoculated into the operation site.That 80% of the organisms isolated on blood cultures were sensitive to the combination of antibiotics used surely indicates tht insufficient drug was present in the blood at that time.This is a failure of the dosage and timing of administration, not the drugs themselves.Despite these criticisms the article raises the important question of pressure at cholangiography, but surely firm conclusions can only be drawn from a randomised trial with pressure measurements recorded in each group.
The Consequences of Parasitic Infection for the Behavior of the Mammalian Host
Authors: Peter J. Donovick, Richard G. Burright
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1987)

As many as one billion people may be infected with animal parasites. The behavioral consequences of such infection, or of illness in general, is poorly understood. This issue is discussed using as an example infection of mice with Toxocara canis, the common roundworm of dogs. Current literature suggests that two-thirds of all dogs have been infected with this parasite, and 7% of all humans have antibodies to T. canis. T. canis completes its life cycle in dogs, but when it infects aberrant mammalian hosts (e.g., humans or mice), larvae migrate through various organ systems including the brain, where they can remain viable and mobile for extended periods of time. Changes in motor activity, sensory reactivity, and learning of mice infected with T. canis have been observed. The pattern of behavioral changes is influenced by the infection regime and exposure to other toxicants such as lead.
