Radiology of asbestos disease
Authors: L. R. Goodman
Journal: JAMA (1983)

ALTHOUGH the hazards of asbestos exposure were first reported in the early 1900s, the full extent of its effects is still being evaluated. Persons with occupational exposure to asbestos have a higher incidence of pulmonary fibrosis (asbestosis), various pleural disorders (plaque, thickening, and effusion), and neoplasms (lung, pleura, and gastrointestinal). In recent years, attention has turned to asbestos as an environmental pollutant. Household contacts of asbestos workers, persons living near asbestos plants, and urban dwellers frequently have asbestos fibers in the lungs at autopsy. The chest roentgenogram often offers the first evidence of asbestos exposure, because a history of asbestos exposure is difficult to obtain or is not sought. Therefore, it is important for both the radiologist and clinician to understand both the radiological findings of asbestos exposure and the significance of each change. The final diagnosis of asbestosis (pulmonary fibrosis) rests on a combination of pulmonary lesions on the

Transplantation immunology
Authors: C. H. Kirkpatrick
Journal: JAMA (1992)

FROM THE uncertain and often unsuccessful attempts in the 1950s and early 1960s, organ and tissue transplantations have become major forms of definitive treatment for many kinds of organ failure. Corneal transplantation has restored sight to thousands of persons, and skin grafts are routinely used to cover injured tissues in burned patients. Transplantation of hearts and kidneys are no longer considered experimental procedures, and transplantation of bone and connective tissues is routinely done to correct orthopedic deformities. Bone marrow transplantation is a common treatment for aplastic anemia and is often beneficial in patients with leukemia or lymphoma and patients with certain immune deficiency syndromes.<sup>1</sup>It has been stated that 4000 bone marrow transplantations were performed during 1990<sup>2</sup>and 7000 during 1991.<sup>3</sup> Successful liver transplantation has been beneficial in patients with a variety of parenchymal and congenital diseases of the liver<sup>4,5</sup>and has been used to correct
Carcinoembryonic Antigen
Authors: Michael D. Turner
Journal: JAMA (1975)

GOLD AND Freedman,<sup>1</sup>in 1965, reported that carcinomata of the colon contained an antigen that was absent from normal human adult intestinal mucosa but was present in primitive entoderm. The authors named this material carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) of the digestive system. This substance was initially identified by immunizing rabbits with extracts of colonic carcinoma, absorbing the antisera with normal tissue (from the individual bearing the tumor), and testing the absorbed antisera by agar gel diffusion against extracts of human tumor. Such absorbed sera gave precipitin arcs against extracts of tumor but gave no reaction with normal adult tissue. Similar results were obtained by others.<sup>2</sup>Red blood cells coated with CEA were agglutinated by sera obtained from normal women in early pregnancy and by the sera of some patients with localized colonic carcinomata without metastases.<sup>3</sup>From these results, it was concluded that CEA was tumor-specific and antigenic to
Manipulation trials.
Authors: J Cyriax
Journal: BMJ (1980)

Manipulation trialsSIR,-Every doctor and most laymen are well aware of patients who have been treated for backache for months, even years, within the NHS and have finally been adjured to "live with it."A proportion of such patients secured rapid relief from a lay manipulator.It was this well-recognised fact that let me teach spinal manipulation (among other techniques) to my physiotherapy students from 1940 to 1970.The intention was that those who needed this treatment should get it immediately, from skilled personnel, and in full view within the hospital rather than wander off in the end on their own to try their luck with some self-styled layman.This policy worked very well, many patients recovering swiftly-in half of all cases, backache recovered in one session of manipulation.It is very noble of Dr H Sims-Williams and others (24 November, p 1318) to have put up the controlled trial that they describe.The result was negative; but, firstly, the patients were not selected as suited or unsuited to manipulation; secondly, they were treated by Maitland's adaptation of Balfour's' (1819) and Recamier's oscillatory techniques2 (methods with scant resemblance to those taught by me3); and, thirdly, they were all assessed at the end of a month.Physiotherapy (that is, heat and exercises) for backache is useless.Their article states, "The management of non-specific back pain is unsatisfactory and physiotherapy is often prescribed empirically."On what grounds?No patient should be treated until the cause of his symptoms becomes clear, and the measure prescribed should be appropriate to the diagnosis.If manipulation were confined to suitable cases, proper methods were employed, and the assessment were made after a few days a very different picture would emerge.Meanwhile, doctors are discouraged by papers like this one from adopting sensible measures and the jubilant lay manipulators cash in again.

Substance abuse
Authors: S. H. Schnoll
Journal: JAMA (1990)

During the past year, there has been increased public intolerance of problems associated with alcohol and illicit drug use. On the federal level, the response is to wage a "war on drugs," coordinated by Edward Bennett in the new cabinetlevel position of director, Office of National Drug Control Policy. The first major task of this office was to generate a report in September 1989 that described the directions to be taken in drug control policy during the next decade. Although Bennett's goal to reduce the number of illicit drug users by 50% is admirable, the means by which this goal is to be achieved is primarily through law enforcement. Of the fiscal year 1990 $8.8 billion budget targeted for drug control, nearly 40% of the appropriated funds will go toward enhancing law-enforcement efforts, 20% to building more correctional facilities, 15% to the development of new prevention and education programs, and
Journal of Travel Medicine
Authors: Richard V. Lee
Journal: JAMA (1996)

The health consequences of travel are not a new concern for the bipedal wanderer. The author of<i>The Practical Physician for Travellers</i>(1729) states this age-old problem thus: The Places we travel through, the Change of Air, the universal Diet we meet with, the various sorts of Liquor, the Seasons of Travelling, our sitting up late, and rising early, the various Fatigues of our mind, and so many accidental and unaccustomed Changes, do Travellers, even if they be Princes, meet with, that it is impossible almost for them to bear them without Injury. It is something of a surprise, therefore, that the health of travelers has only recently emerged as a special area of medical expertise. In the past, tropical medicine and the study of infectious diseases subsumed travel medicine. The spectacular advances and expansion of travel over the past century, however, have enlarged the scope of knowledge and experience
Resuscitation: how do we decide? A prospective study of physicians' preferences and the clinical course of hospitalized patients
Authors: M. E. Charlson
Journal: JAMA (1986)

Physicians have to address the question of the measures to be employed in the event that a patient's condition deteriorates after admission to the hospital. To identify the information that physicians use in making such decisions, all 604 patients admitted to the medical service during a one-month period were studied. The patient's age and residents' estimates of the patient's long-term prognosis and ability to function were the three primary factors that correlated with intervention preferences. When illness severity, the reason for admission, comorbidity, and poor function were taken into account, mortality and morbidity rates did not differ between patients for whom full vs not-full intervention was favored. Apart from differential rates of admission to critical care units, there were no important differences in the care, course, or mortality of patients for whom less than full intervention was initially favored. Suggestions that physicians should discuss resuscitation with all or most patients who may die are unrealistic. A more prudent strategy is to discuss the issue with patients whose hospital course is marked by a steady deterioration. (<i>JAMA</i>1986;255:1316-1322)
Curtailing infection
Authors: Ruth Williams
Journal: The Journal of Experimental Medicine (2006)

Keeping NF-κB in checkNF-κB, a central proinflammatory regulator, gets activated by TNF receptor-associated factors (TRAFs).But He et al. (page 2413) now report that one TRAF family member (TRAF3) instead negatively regulates an alternative NF-κB activation pathway.Classical activation of NF-κB occurs by TRAFcontrolled degradation of cytoplasmic inhibitory binding proteins, which leads to nuclear accumulation of the p50 forms of NF-κB.Activation can also occur by a recently discovered route requiring NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK), which releases a different NF-κB complex, thus one containing p52.It was known that, unlike other TRAFs, overexpression of TRAF3 does not induce the classical NF-κB pathway.By examining TRAF3null mice (which die soon after birth), He et al. now show that cells from these mice have constitutively active noncanonical p52 NF-κB.This constitutive activation was associated with aberrant accumulation of NIK protein, but not mRNA, suggesting that TRAF3 blocks noncanonical NF-κB by reducing NIK protein stability.Crossing the TRAF3 -/-mice with mice that lacked p52 prevented their early death, showing that overactivity of p52 was, indeed, the cause of lethality.The final cause of death in TRAF3 -/-mice is uncertain but is most likely due to over-inflammation caused by the unfettered activation of NF-κB-signaling.
Incidence of acute mountain sickness at intermediate altitude
Authors: A. B. Montgomery
Journal: JAMA (1989)

The incidence of acute mountain sickness was determined by questionnaire in 454 individuals who attended week-long continuing medical education programs at ski resorts in the Rocky Mountains with base elevations of about 2000 m. As a control group, 96 individuals who attended continuing medical education programs at sea level in San Francisco completed similar questionnaires. Study subjects were classified as having acute mountain sickness when they reported three or more of the five possible cardinal symptoms: headache, insomnia, dyspnea, anorexia, and fatigue. Only symptoms with an intensity of at least grade 2 (moderate) out of 5 were analyzed. Acute mountain sickness—like symptoms occurred in 25% of subjects at 2000 m compared with 5% of subjects at sea level. The incidence of acute mountain sickness at 2000 m was greatest among subjects who had come from lower altitudes. Half of the subjects with symptoms took medication. The duration of symptoms was short, with 90% of all symptoms that were reported occurring in the first 72 hours. Acute mountain sickness is common at intermediate altitudes, and it is frequently severe enough to prompt self-medication. (<i>JAMA</i>1989;261:732-734)

HEMATOLOGY COAGULATION
Authors: Oscar D. Ratnoff
Journal: JAMA (1966)

About 15 years ago, the volume of research into problems of hemostasis, thrombosis, and fibrinolysis increased precipitously. A natural consequence has been the appearance of at least two journals devoted exclusively to these subjects.<i>Thrombosis et Diathesis Haemorrhagica</i>is the more useful of the two, but would be even more helpful were its editorial policy stricter, for many of its articles seem to be uncritical. A second consequence of the increased rate of research has been the publication of innumerable monographs, reviews, and published proceedings of conferences without end. The urge to expound one's point of view, a disorder shared by this reviewer, is apparently uncontrollable. On my bookshelf are over 40 volumes devoted to this area published since 1960. I doubt that anyone can properly assimilate and digest the yards of words. Fortunately, much of the writing is reiterative. The Constant Reader often has the comfortable feeling which comes
Self-funded health benefit plans. Trends, legal environment, and policy issues
Authors: D. A. Rublee
Journal: JAMA (1986)

ON JUNE 3, 1985, the Supreme Court decided that states may require group health insurance plans to cover certain specified types of care for employees.<sup>1</sup>At issue in the case was whether the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company could be required by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to provide 60 days of inpatient treatment in a mental hospital and certain minimum outpatient benefits in its health insurance plans. On the surface, this judgment bolsters the ability of states to enforce mandated benefit laws. Beneath the surface, however, and of greater overall significance, is the victory this case represents for employers who fund their own employee health benefits, who are not covered by this decision. In contrast, the commercial insurance industry and Blue Cross/Blue Shield, who<i>are</i>covered by this decision, are now bound to offer what the various states require as minimum benefits for their residents. The Court's ruling calls attention to

Sudden heart failure in a 30-year-old woman
Authors: R. J. Cihak
Journal: JAMA (1970)

Dr. Edward H. Eliscu: This 30-year-old Negro woman was admitted to another hospital on Dec 6, 1968. She had been in good health until the day before admission when she experienced sudden onset of bounding pulses in her neck while climbing stairs; this was followed by dyspnea and precordial pain. There was no history of rheumatic fever or of recent fever, chills, trauma, or dental work. Physical examination at that time revealed a temperature of 101 F (38.3 C), blood pressure 110/60 mm Hg, and a rumbling, continuous murmur at the lower left sternal border. She remained febrile, despite treatment with several antibiotics. Hematocrit value dropped from 42% at the time of admission to 26%, with reticulocytes accounting for 8% of the erythrocytes. <h3>Discussion</h3> Dr. Laurence L. Robbins: Dr. Forrester, do you have any ideas about this case? Dr. Deborah M. Forrester: At the time of the examination in March
