NARCO-STIMULATION
Authors: ALBERT A. LAVERNE
Journal: American Journal of Psychiatry (1959)

1. A new modification of the conventional metrazol convulsive therapy is desscribed in which the chemical action of a large dose of an analeptic upon the central nervous system is utilized without producing convulsions in any form and completely avoiding the anxiety which is known to be inherent in the convulsive treatment. 2. The usefulness of this technique in accidental or suicidal barbiturate poisonings is apparent, since it produces a rapid and effective reversal of barbiturate anesthesia. 3. The series described is limited in scope; however, the clinical findings thus far observed warrant further investigation of the technique since it appears to be effective in a variety of psychiatric disorders. 4. The method is safe and has no significant side effects or contraindications.
Endoscopic ultrasonography
Authors: T. Gardner
Journal: Endoscopy (2012)

The 2012 Digestive Disease Week (DDW; 19 – 22 May 2012, San Diego, California, USA) featured exciting research from the field of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). The research highlights continued to focus on tissue acquisition and interventional EUS. Although overall there were fewer novel EUS applications presented, the quality of research, as evidenced by more prospective randomized trials, was generally higher than in previous years. In this review, the top 20 EUS abstracts from DDW 2012 are identified and key aspects are discussed.
The extent of the two tier service for fundholders
Authors: R. M Kammerling, A. Kinnear
Journal: BMJ (1996)

<h3>Abstract</h3> <b>Objective</b>: To examine possible differential changes in outpatient referrals to orthopaedic clinics, attendances, and waiting times between fundholding and non-fundholding general practitioners. <b>Design</b>: Observational controlled study of referrals by general practitioners to orthopaedic outpatients between April 1991 and March 1995. <b>Setting</b>: District health authority in south west England. <b>Subjects</b>: 10 fundholding practices with 108 300 registered patients; 22 control practices with 159 900 registered patients. <b>Main outcome measures</b>: Changes in age standardised referral and outpatient attendance ratios for the year before and the two years after achieving fundholder status; changes in outpatient waiting times. <b>Results</b>: In the year before achieving fundholding status both groups were referring more patients than were being seen. Two years later, referral and attendance ratios had increased by 13% and 36% respectively for fundholders and 32% and 59% for controls, and both groups were referring fewer patients than were being seen. Attendances represented 112% of referrals for fundholders and 104% for controls. In 1991-2, a similar proportion of patients in the two groups was seen within three months of referral. The two hospitals that set up specific clinics exclusively for fundholders showed faster access for patients of fundholders by 1993-4, as did a third hospital without such clinics by 1994-5. <b>Conclusions</b>: Fundholders increased their orthopaedic referrals less than did controls and achieved a better balance between outpatient appointments and referrals. Their patients were likely to be seen more quickly, particularly if the hospital provided special clinics exclusively for fundholders. Lack of case mix information makes it impossible to judge whether these differences benefit or disadvantage patients. <h3>Key messages</h3> Patients of fundholders had no better access than patients of non-fundholders to orthopaedic services before the practices became fundholding Fundholders controlled their referrals better than non-fundholders and achieved a better balance between referrals and attendances Fundholders9 patients were more likely to be seen quickly, especially if the receiving hospital laid on specific clinics exclusively for fundholders Information on case mix is needed to identify whether the lower referral rate among fundholders benefits or disadvantages patients

Identification of Gulf War Syndrome: Methodological Issues and Medical Illnesses
Authors: Naomi Schlesinger
Journal: JAMA (1997)

<h3>To the Editor.</h3> —In their study examining syndromes in Persian Gulf War veterans, Dr Haley and colleagues<sup>1</sup>describe a syndrome called "arthro-myo-neuropathy" (syndrome 3) in which patients have generalized joint and muscle pains, muscle exhaustion after exertion, and peripheral neuropathies. We have described a similar subgroup of patients<sup>2</sup>who may constitute a Persian Gulf War myalgia syndrome characterized by myalgia, arthralgia, rash, and bursitis; elevated creatine kinase levels, aldolase levels, or both; and no obvious underlying etiology. This group of patients initially was identified because of elevation of muscle enzymes. We wonder whether Haley and colleagues measured muscle enzymes in patients with syndrome 3 and whether these 22 patients had elevation of muscle enzyme levels.

Predicting mammalian mutagenesis by submammalian assays: an application of database GEN
Authors: F E Würgler
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1991)

A database containing qualitative information on the genotoxic activity of about 3000 chemicals is described.The in- itial aim for the construction of the database was to develop an instumnt for comparing the performance of different genotodcity assay systems.One appLication of the database is the prediction of expeced results in any go idt assay for chemicals that were tested in a small number of genotoccity assays.ITe Bayesian p n is alculated based on the sensitivities and specifdties betweenany redtivetest and thebtget test for which the dionis to be determined.The predictivity of the system for in vivo m malian assays is at present (with the exception of the micronucleus assay and the in vio sister chromatid exchanges) l d, in priulr because ofthe lmited number ofchemicals tested in the expensive in Wivo assays and, in addition, due to the lack ofsufficient information on negative compounds.A continued updating of the database will possibly help to overcome some of the present difficulties.

Prognostic value of CD4+ lymphocytes in pleural cavity of patients with non-small cell lung cancer
Authors: K Takahashi, S Saito, Y Kamamura, M Katakawa, Y Monden
Journal: Thorax (2001)

BACKGROUND For patients with non-small cell lung cancer the TNM staging system and other conventional prognostic factors fail to predict accurately the outcome of treatment and survival. This study attempts to determine the prognostic value for survival of the proportions of CD4+ lymphocytes in the pleural cavity (PLY) of patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS Lymphocytes in the pleural cavity separated from 51 patients with non-small cell lung cancer were examined by flow cytometry to measure the proportions of CD4+ PLY. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess the association between the proportion of CD4+ PLY and survival. RESULTS The 5 year survival rate of patients with percentage CD4+ PLY of ⩽30% was 84% whereas that of patients with %CD4+ PLY &gt;30% was 26.9%. The difference in survival between the %CD4+ PLY ⩽30% and %CD4+ PLY &gt;30% groups was significant (p&lt;0.0001). The %CD4+ PLY in those who survived for 5 years was significantly lower than that in the patients who died within 5 years (p&lt;0.0001). The difference in survival between patients with stage IA and IB lung cancer with %CD4+ PLY ⩽30% and those with %CD4+ PLY &gt;30% was also significant (p =0.015). Multivariate analysis showed that the proportion of CD4+ PLY (hazard ratio=6.9, 95% CI 0.045 to 0.47) and nodal status (hazard ratio=22.7, 95% CI 0.006 to 1.806) are significant and independent prognostic factors for the survival of patients with lung cancer. CONCLUSIONS The proportion of CD4+ PLY may help to select patients who are likely to have a poorer prognosis after surgery and therefore may be suitable for consideration of adjuvant treatments. These results need confirmation in a larger prospective study.
Risk factors for fireworks-related injury in Washington State
Authors: L. V. McFarland
Journal: JAMA (1984)

To determine the frequency and effects of and risk factors for fireworks-related injury, we identified all 146 persons who were injured by fireworks and sought emergency care during the 1983 July 4 holiday in the Seattle area. The mean charge for medical care for the injuries received was $562; 7.1% of those injured required hospitalization. In a matched-pair case-control study, use of either of two fireworks types—firecrackers or aerial devices—was significantly associated with injury (odds ratios [ORs], 3.3 and 2.9, respectively; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 1.2, 8.5, and 1.2, 6.6, respectively). Also associated with injury were several fireworks misuse behaviors, including lack of adult supervision of children (OR, 11.5; CI, 2.8, 100.6). We conclude that fireworks cause serious injuries that theoretically could be prevented by behavioral changes or decreased availability of high-risk fireworks devices. (<i>JAMA</i>1984;251:3251-3254)
Bailey and Scott's Diagnostic Microbiology
Authors: Josephine A. Morello
Journal: JAMA (1982)

This is the second revision by Drs Finegold and Martin of the popular diagnostic microbiology textbook previously authored by R. E. Bailey and E. G. Scott. The current authors have aimed at expanding the book's audience to infectious disease physicians, clinical pathologists, public health workers, and nurses. As could be expected, the measure of their success depends on the purpose for which the book will be used by each group. The volume covers all aspects of microbiology, including bacteriology, virology, mycology, parasitology, antimicrobial susceptibility tests, serology, and rapid methods and automation. The material has been brought up to date by adding or expanding material or organisms, disease states, or laboratory procedures that are newly recognized or have become increasingly important. Examples include<i>Legionella, Campylobacter</i>, toxic shock syndrome, and viral diagnosis. Introductory chapters describe laboratory methods for collecting and processing specimens from various body areas and the microorganisms most likely to
Medicolegal. What should a doctor tell?
Journal: BMJ (1985)

It is reported that Britain's House of Lords has alleviated fear of a flood of malpractice claims related to informed consent by rejecting the plaintiff's appeal in Sidaway v. Bethlem Royal Hospital. The Lords decisively rejected the American interpretation of informed consent and extended to disclosure of surgical risks the standard applied to diagnosis and treatment, namely, the practice accepted as proper by a responsible body of medical opinion. A proviso was added, however, giving the court the power to overrule accepted opinion in extreme cases. One Law Lord expressed the opinion that the physician's overriding duty to promote the best interests of the patient could include the withholding of information which might prejudice the fulfillment of this duty.
Disruption of circadian locomotor activity in rats after portacaval anastomosis is not gender dependent
Authors: P STEINDL
Journal: Hepatology (1995)

A recent study suggested that female rats are less affected by a portacaval anastomosis (PCA) than their male counterparts, as measured by body weight and changes in locomotor activity. In this study, we evaluated the entrainment of locomotor activity to the light/dark (LD) cycle, a consistent abnormality in the portacaval shunted rat. The degree of entrainment was measured in male and female rats before and after PCA or sham operation. All four groups of animals showed strong entrainment to an LD cycle before surgery. After portacaval anastomosis, male and female rats exhibited a highly significant decrease in overall motor activity as compared with the preoperative period and as compared with sham-operated animals of the same gender. The percentage of total activity during daytime was significantly increased after portacaval anastomosis. The reduction in parameters of entrainment indicates a disruption of circadian function in both portacavalshunted groups. Portal pressure measurements confirmed the patency of the shunts. Cortical brain glutamine levels were similarly increased in male and female shunted rats. The loss of body weight was slightly, but not significantly, more pronounced in male animals after shunt surgery. In conclusion, our results do not support a role for gender in the disruption of circadian function in rats after PCA. (Hepatology 1995; 22:1763-1768).

Introduction: Antioxidant micronutrients may influence the development or progression of liver cancer and liver disease.We evaluated the association of serum α-tocopherol, βcarotene, and retinol with incident liver cancer and chronic liver disease mortality in the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study, a prospective cohort of middle-aged Finnish male smokers.Methods: Baseline and 3-year follow-up serum were available from 29,046 and 22,805 men, respectively.After up to 24 years of follow-up, 208 men were diagnosed with liver cancer and 237 died from chronic liver disease.Relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated from multivariate Cox proportional hazards models.Results: High serum β-carotene (RR=0.35,95% CI: 0.22-0.55 for highest vs. lowest quartile; p-trend<0.0001)and retinol (RR=0.58,95%CI: 0.39-0.85;p-trend=0.0009)were associated with reduced risk of developing liver cancer.Similarly, serum β-carotene (RR=0.47,95% CI: 0.30-0.75;p-trend=0.001)and retinol (RR=0.55,95% CI: 0.38-0.78;p-trend=0.0007)were inversely associated with chronic liver disease mortality.We also observed a borderline statistically significant inverse association for serum α-tocopherol and chronic liver disease mortality, (RR=0.63,95% CI: 0.40-0.99;p-trend=0.06),but none for incident liver cancer (RR=1.06,95%CI: 0.64-1.74;p-trend=0.77).Associations remained largely similar after removing the first 2, 5 or 10 years of followup.Participants with high levels of β-carotene and retinol, but not α-tocopherol, at both baseline and 3-year follow-up had a lower risk for incident liver cancer and chronic liver disease mortality than those with low levels at both times.Conclusion: Men with higher pre-diagnostic β-carotene and retinol had a lower risk of incident liver cancer and chronic liver disease mortality suggesting that higher concentrations of these micronutrients may protect against these diseases.

The Director of Medical Education in the Teaching Hospital
Journal: JAMA (1961)

THIS OUTLINE has been prepared for the guidance of hospitals contemplating the appointment of a director of medical education and for physicians who are considering such an appointment. As conditions vary from hospital to hospital, the position is described in terms sufficiently general to be applicable to most teaching hospitals. The education of physicians has long been a function of hospitals as well as of medical schools. Recent growth of the hospital's role in this process has been so extensive that many physicians now study as long in hospitals to qualify for medical practice as they did in medical school to qualify for an M.D. degree. This change has come about because of the greatly augmented knowledge and skill which doctors must acquire. The increased scope and duration of hospital training programs has necessitated better organization of graduate education. Moreover, competition for interns and residents has placed an increasing
