Therapeutic surgical division of the human conduction system
Authors: S. Giannelli
Journal: JAMA (1967)

A 51-year-old woman was severely incapacitated because of intractable supraventricular tachycardias and rheumatic heart disease involving the aortic and mitral valves. The arrhythmias were not prevented by a variety of drug regimens, and over 200 cardioversions were done. It was believed that the arrhythmias had to be positively controlled if valvular surgery was to be successful. At open-heart surgery the aortic and mitral valves were replaced with ball-valve prostheses and the conduction bundle was divided in the region of the atrioventricular (AV) node. Permanent pacemaker leads were attached to the epicardium. Early postoperatively there was complete AV dissociation with a ventricular rate of 60 beats per minute. Later the ventricular rate slowed to 48 and a pacemaker was connected to the implanted leads for permanent ventricular pacing at 75 beats per minute.

Accreditation of continuing medical education
Authors: R. W. Howard
Journal: JAMA (1972)

Since 1966, following a pilot study five years earlier, the American Medical Association has provided a program of accreditation for institutions and organizations involved in continuing medical education activities. The AMA Council on Medical Education, with its Advisory Committee on Continuing Medical Education, has sought to develop this service as a full-scale venture to provide guidelines for institutions and organizations that desire to provide physician self-renewal of higher quality and greater relevance. The accreditation program has been voluntary and initially was offered to any institution or organization interested in being surveyed on the basis of established guidelines developed by the Council. In 1970, the guidelines were developed further to be the<i>Essentials of Approved Programs in Continuing Medical Education</i>. Those who plan and implement programs of continuing medical education, as well as those who conduct surveys of such programs for accreditation, have found the<i>Essentials</i>useful and practical.

Authors: P. Sedgwick
Journal: BMJ (2010)

Using a prospective cohort study design, researchers investigated the relation between slow walking speed and risk of death in older people.1 A sample of 3208 French men and women aged over 65 years living in the community were recruited in 1999. At baseline the sample had a mean age of 73.2 years with a standard deviation of 4.6 years. Which of the following, if any, are true?

Vasodilatation
Authors: Milton Mendlowitz
Journal: JAMA (1982)

This book is a compilation of papers by different authors on vasodilatation both in animals and man, including several papers authored or coauthored by one of the editors (Vanhoutte). Like all such books, the quality is uneven, some papers being excellent and others less so. Many papers raise more questions than they answer. For example, the exact biochemical mechanism of action of such drugs as hydralazine and minoxidil remains obscure. The coverage is also uneven, since there are many papers on the cerebral, skin, and muscle circulations but few or none on the renal, hepatic, and splanchnic circulations. The coronary and pulmonary circulations are also somewhat neglected. In addition, the angiotensin-aldosterone system is given short shrift except to indicate its vasodilating properties under certain circumstances. Many vasodilators are mentioned only casually or not at all, such as guanethidine sulfate, reserpine, saralasen acetate, captopril, and hydrochlorathiazide, and the mechanism for vasodilatation

In the above mentioned article 1 there was an error in the Results section and in the legend of Figure 2. In the text (page 1167, column 1, line 3) the correct diction is (r ¼ 0AE3, P < 0AE01) and not (r ¼ )0AE3, P < 0AE01) as was published, suggesting a direct correlation between homocysteine levels and psoriasis severity.

sometimes without this latter appliance; but, in the case of the new-born child, the skin has not yet as- sumed its functions; no oxygenation of blood has gone on through its medium.The warm bath, therefore, affords a ready means of maintaining both warmth and the equilibrium of the circulation; and steady, gentle inflation by the mouth, the most certain way of establishing respiration speedily.As a proof of the value of warmth in reestablishing the suspended vital processes, I may here give the following illustration.A Newfoundland bitch, who frequently gave birth to a numerous progeny, in her fondness for them invariably licked them so unceasingly that they were generally found wet and dead by her side the next day.On the last occasion, when she had given birth to nine, they were found cold, wet, and six only feebly respiring, the next morning; but by assidu- ous attention, with frictions and warmth, placing them occasionally in an open oven at 1300, they were all saved, and four of them reared to maturity.It is also a well- known fact that ducks hatched at the beginning of August are-particularly if kept from the water, when the mornings are cold, or the evenings, after a hot day, and the grass is wet-almost invariably attacked with cramps in the feet and lower extremities, producing death.A brood of ten, so attacked last year when a month old, were immersed in water of the atmospheric temperature, and kept in it fifteeni minutes.They were then able to walk, but were soon again seized with cramp.They were again placed in the water, and afterwards dried and put into an open oven at 1000, which speedily recovered them; but it was found necessary to repeat the process every morning for three days.They were all eventually reared.Accurate returns from every available souirce, respect- ing the treatment of the drowned, time of immersion, or any peculiarity of circumstance connected with such acci- dents, as to age, constitution, muscular development, etc., appear to me to be of the utmost importance at this stage of the inquiry.
Esophageal leukoplakia: a rare entity
Authors: B. R. Herschman
Journal: JAMA (1978)

TRUE esophagel leukoplakia has not been convincingly recognized during endoscopy as a clinical entity. Glycogenic acanthosis, which grossly resembles leukoplakia, has been frequently encountered at endoscopy and autopsy.<sup>1,2</sup> We report a case of true esophageal leukoplakia due to hyperkeratosis without glycogenic acanthosis. To date this apparently benign condition has not been reported. <h3>Report of a Case</h3> Heartburn with regurgitation after meals developed in a 43-year-old cigarette smoker in 1973. Past medical and family history for gastrointestinal disease was unrevealing. The results of a physical examination were entirely unremarkable, including absence of oral or anal leukoplakia or keratosis palmaris et plantaris (tylosis). An initial upper gastrointestinal series showed slight narrowing of the distal esophageal lumen. At esophagoscopy, a 3-cm, sliding-type hiatal hernia with slight narrowing of the distal esophagus was observed in addition to free reflux of gastric contents into the lower esophagus. The esophageal mucosa appeared normal. However, on close

months in those who received the same chemotherapy together with BCG.In the group receiving specific active immunotherapy most relapses were in the lymphatic drainage area of the primary tumour, unlike in the controlled group, whose relapses were at distant sites.An earlier study'7 reported a similar trend to relapse early in patients receiving immuno- therapy with BCG and irradiated cells.These reports emphasise that we should be cautious in setting up new immunotherapy trials and that the results of existing trials should be studied critically in the light of what we know.More important, we need further laboratory studies to examine the principles which justify immunotherapy in treatment.Until we have such results, Woglom's observation2 of 50 years ago remains essentially true.

least when temperature has stabilised and temporary disruptions have passed, would be beneficial.Scientific assessments of emotive topics of this kind have in the past been notoriously subject to distortion by public misconceptions.The belief that 100 000 British people died of hypothermia in cold houses every winter persisted for many years, and it still does in some quarters.In fact, recorded deaths from hypothermia never exceeded 500 per year, and such deaths indoors virtually all result from collapse due to other illness.2These mis- apprehensions seriously delayed scientific work on the subject despite longstanding evidence that many deaths in winter are caused by arterial thrombosis.'This arterial mortality has been little affected by home heating and is apparently due mainly to haematological changes produced by excursions outdoors in cold weather."Deaths in winter from respiratory causes, which are less numerous, have by contrast fallen with the increase in central heating in Britain in recent years.Seasonal mortality and age structure of population in England and Wales and Mediterranean countries England and Wales Portugal Greece Increase in mortality January-March vz Julv
US medical school finances
Authors: P. Jolly
Journal: JAMA (1990)

The 30th review of medical school finances is intended to reflect, through analysis of medical school revenues and expenditures, the secular trends in medical education in the United States. The 30-year interval may be viewed as two distinct periods: from academic year 1958-1959 through academic year 1978-1979 and from academic year 1979-1980 through academic year 1988-1989, the latest full year for which data are available. The first period can be characterized by huge absolute and relative increases in all aspects of medical education. Some sense of the growth in the enterprise may be gained from an examination of a few of its dimensions shown in Table 1. The number of schools increased, the number of candidates for professional and academic doctorates doubled and tripled, respectively, and the population of postdoctoral students mushroomed. The number of full-time faculty almost quintupled. While these measures of medical school activity were increasing so substantially,

The disorder, as earlier, retains its main divisions, as occurring in a primary or idiopathic form, and in a symptomatic variety secondary to other disorders. Although we are essentially concerned with the primary form, the existence of the secondary form is of the utmost diagnostic importance for the reason that in this secondary form splenectomy is not only contraindicated but may be actually harmful.

Osteomalacia and weakness from excessive antacid ingestion
Authors: K. L. Insogna
Journal: JAMA (1980)

A 60-year-old woman was evaluated for bone pain and incapacitating weakness. Initial laboratory studies showed a serum calcium level of 10.1 mg/dL, severe hypophosphatemia (1.1 mg/dL), and an elevated alkaline phosphatase level. X-ray films showed changes consistent with osteomalacia. Further studies revealed hypercalciuria (448 mg/24 hr) but absent urinary phosphorus. These data indicated phosphate malabsorption. Excessive use of an aluminum hydroxide—containing antacid was the cause of this patient's failure to absorb dietary phosphate. The features of this syndrome are reviewed to increase physicians' awareness of this illness, which occurs particularly in the elderly and is easily treated. (<i>JAMA</i>1980;244:2544-2546)
