Adjunctive role for biofeedback: neuromuscular rehabilitation
Authors: C. Macek
Journal: JAMA (1983)

To many, biofeedback is synonymous with the "alpha wave" craze of the 1960s and 1970s. Alpha brain waves—those with a frequency of 8 to 15 cps—usually are generated during periods of relaxation or light sleep. Since they often predominate in Indian yogis and others who meditate frequently, alpha wave production has been associated by some with the serene emotional state of such persons. Indeed, learning to "go into alpha" became the rage, and in 1971, ninety-nine different companies were producing EEG biofeedback machines for self-instruction. By using such equipment, a subject trained himself to consciously manipulate his own brain waves. Biofeedback, however, is not a magical method of mind or mental state control, but simply a technique that uses instruments to reveal to a person the covert activities of his or her body. Available biofeedback instruments measure a variety of physiological parameters, including heart rate, blood pressure, skin temperature, and

Gastric bezoars from swallowed string. A rare complication of esophageal dilation
Authors: R. G. Norfleet
Journal: JAMA (1978)

SWALLOWED thread is often used to guide esophageal dilators. When its purpose has been served, it is cut at the mouth, swallowed, and allowed to See also p 844. pass.<sup>1</sup>Passage is usually uneventful, but Boyce and Palmer<sup>2</sup>mention that tangled bezoars may form in the stomach if there is gastric obstruction. A patient had two bezoars of tangled string that apparently remained in her stomach for 26 years. <h3>Report of a Case</h3> A 65-year-old woman complained of a bad taste in her mouth and inability to eat a full meal for four months. Twenty-six years previously, she had been treated elsewhere for achalasia of the esophagus. She recalled several dilations after swallowing a string. Following the treatment, the string was cut, and she swallowed it. There were at least three such treatments that alleviated her swallowing problems. She had no psychiatric difficulties and denied ever swallowing another string.
Medical care at winter olympic games. Logistics
Authors: B. Haid
Journal: JAMA (1972)

Offering medical care at the Winter Olympics is a responsibility for the national organizing committee and is also a medicalmoral obligation. The potential problems connected with providing medical care are created primarily by the selection of the country and secondly of the region, town, or city in and around which the Winter Olympic Games are to be held. Thus, there are several different situations concerning the sites of the games which influence the type of medical care that could be offered. <h3>Sample Sites</h3><h3>Regional Site.—</h3> The first site to be considered is the quite newly developed area like Squaw Valley (1960 Olympics) that is remote from a bigger town or city. Here an adequate medical center or several stations or both types of facilities have to be built in various places, including all the facilities necessary to care for and treat the active competitors and their coaches and trainers, the

Plagiarism.
Authors: F. E. Hill
Journal: JAMA (1898)

Muncie, Ind., June 23, 1898. <h3>To the Editor:</h3> —In Vol. xxx, No. 24, page 1401 of theJournal, under "Original" appears an article by Gilbert I. Cullen of Cincinnati, Ohio, which has the appearance of being original, and no doubt the writer wishes to convey that idea among the readers of theJournal, as no credit is given any one for the thoughts or language used. It is the boldest piece of plagiarism I have noticed for years. It is apparently taken in its entirety from the "Encyclopedia Britannica." The Werner Edition, 1895, contains every thought and nearly every sentence exactly as it appears in Cullen's article. The only difference is, that the encyclopedia contains a little more. A man who will copy from an encyclopedia and publish the article in a scientific journal of medicine and surgery as an original article, should be exposed, and dishonor heaped upon his

Clinical application of cryoscopy
Authors: A. W. Haraway
Journal: JAMA (1968)

Since 1888 when Beckmann<sup>1</sup>devised the first relatively sensitive apparatus for determining the freezing point of a solution, the medical use of this instrument, the cryoscope or osmometer, has been limited mainly to physiological and clinical research for measuring total solute concentration and osmotic pressure. However, determination of the freezing point of biological fluids also has routine clinical value in assessing certain fluid, electrolyte, and urinary abnormalities. <h3>Osmotic Pressure</h3> When two aqueous solutions of different solute concentrations are separated by a semipermeable membrane, water molecules will move from one solution into the other. This movement is related to the average energy per unit concentration of the water molecules and is referred to as the "escaping tendency," or as the chemical potential. When the chemical potentials of the water molecules of two solutions differ, there will be a net movement of water molecules from the solution with the higher chemical potential
Individualized treatment of alcohol withdrawal
Authors: J. T. Sullivan
Journal: JAMA (1995)

<h3>To the Editor.</h3> —The recent article entitled "Individualized Treatment for Alcohol Withdrawal" by Dr Saitz and colleagues<sup>1</sup>compared "fixed-schedule therapy" (substitution) with "symptom-triggered therapy" (suppression). The conclusions are open to misinterpretation for the following reasons. The dosage chosen for the fixed schedule (400 mg of chlordiazepoxide) may be high for groups of subjects with little evidence of alcohol withdrawal (selection bias). A Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol, revised (CIWA-Ar) median score of 9 is barely recognizable as alcohol withdrawal (and some subjects had scores of 0). No entry criterion for alcohol withdrawal was used (presumably it was the expectation of withdrawal). Previous studies using a predominantly white male veteran population have demonstrated that only 13% of these subjects required drug treatment.<sup>2</sup>Other general hospital studies have revealed that a median dose of 50 mg of diazepam (200 mg of chlordiazepoxide) was required using similar criteria for treatment

Rhesus diploid rabies vaccine (adsorbed), a new rabies vaccine. II. Results of clinical studies simulating prophylactic therapy for rabies exposure
Authors: B. S. Berlin
Journal: JAMA (1983)

Rhesus diploid-cell-strain rabies vaccine (RDRV) (adsorbed) is a new rabies vaccine intended for use in man. Sixty volunteers were given five doses of RDRV at 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days to simulate prophylactic treatment of persons exposed to a rabid animal. Thirty-five volunteers were given commercial high-titer rabies immune globulin, 20 IU/kg, before the first dose of RDRV, and 25 were given RDRV without prior rabies immune globulin. Antibody responses at 14, 28, and 42 days were comparable with those reported with human diploid rabies vaccine. Simulated postexposure prophylactic treatment with RDRV was associated with acceptable levels of local and constitutional symptoms. (<i>JAMA</i>1983;249:2663-2665)

Hyperventilation Syndrome
Authors: Richard E. Martin
Journal: JAMA (1980)

<h3>To the Editor:—</h3> Missri and Alexander perform a service in calling attention to the surprisingly neglected syndrome of hyperventilation. Considering that almost any "functional" complaint could be caused by hyperventilation, incidences of this problem found in previous studies may be extremely conservative. The authors clearly define the physiological consequences of hyperventilation and the resulting ways in which disturbing symptoms are produced and serious diseases are mimicked or even exacerbated. However, in stating that "acute or chronic anxiety is the causal factor in the majority of patients," the authors beg the question. Not all anxious persons hyperventilate, and it may be unfair to assume that patients who are hyperventilating but "outwardly calm" have underlying emotional problems. The authors themselves admit that cardiac symptoms can be the initial factor, in which case, the "resultant anxiety provokes hyperventilation." This completed circle leaves unclear where and why the patient begins to overbreathe. Control of
银屑病和银屑病关节炎中的体重减轻
Authors: S.K. Mahil, S.M. McSweeney, E. Kloczko, B. McGowan, J.N. Barker, C.H. Smith
Journal: British Journal of Dermatology (2019)

银屑病是一种无法治愈的皮肤病,在西方世界每 100 人中有 2 到 4 人患此病。它会在皮肤上造成令人不舒服的红色鳞屑状斑块,并且还与关节疾病、高体重(“肥胖”)、心脏病发作和情绪低落有关。既往研究表明,肥胖会使银屑病恶化,据认为减轻体重可以改善银屑病。受到重度银屑病和肥胖患者所面临的困难的启发,这项基于英国的研究的作者旨在确定减轻体重对银屑病的影响以及减轻体重是否可以预防银屑病的发展。作者系统性检索了科学文献数据库,并确定了 14 项相关研究,其中探讨了三种主要的减肥方法:生活方式改变(饮食和运动)、减肥药物和减肥手术(例如胃旁路术)。这些研究表明,生活方式改变后的体重减轻可以使肥胖患者中的银屑病持续改善。研究人员发现,探讨减肥药物和减肥手术对银屑病患者的作用的研究很少,并且这些研究没有明确或一致的结果。两项研究表明,减肥手术可以预防银屑病发作。作者向他们的患者解释了这些信息,这些患者被鼓励接受针对银屑病的其他治疗的同时减肥。他们还在银屑病诊所内建立了一套护理流程,以帮助所有患银屑病和肥胖症的患者减轻体重。
