And Then There Were None: The Demise of National Medical Television
Authors: James Lieberman
Journal: JAMA (1995)

<h3>To the Editor.</h3> —Your editorial comments in<i>JAMA</i>concerning "The Demise of National Medical Television"<sup>1</sup>are right on target! As the founding director of the National Medical Audiovisual Center (NMAC), I can attest to the value of a national policy governing information important to the future of the health sciences. During the NMAC's lifetime, we were successful in assisting schools of the health professions establish departments of biomedical communication, offering such technical assistance as was required. A course was charted in the production area, and prototype materials were prepared and made widely available. A demonstration (Community Medical Television System) was created, and the first schedule of "live" programming was received at installations in and around Atlanta, Ga. Program offerings included surgery, medicine, and other specialties, and scheduled viewing times were made known to personnel in all cooperating installations. With the New York Academy of Sciences, the NMAC sponsored an

Tampon characteristics and menstrual toxic shock syndrome
Authors: D. B. Petitti
Journal: JAMA (1988)

<h3>In Reply.</h3> —Rome et al discuss several points that relate to three aspects of the lack of standardization of tampon absorbency, a situation that has existed for seven years, since the association between increased risk of toxic shock syndrome and increased tampon absorbency was first discovered. I agree with their conclusion that proper standardization of sampling prior to testing tampons for absorbency should require that tampon samples be taken from various retail shelves to represent the true variation in absorbency that might exist between different lots of the "same" tampon but that might be obscured if all samples were taken from the same lot. Another issue concerns standardization of the absorbency testing itself. Although there are demonstrated differences between tampon absorbencies using heparinized blood as opposed to saline, the impossibility of standardizing heparinized blood because it would come from different sources precludes its use and favors the saline solution, as

Motorcycle Helmet—Use Laws and Head Injury Prevention
Authors: Daniel M. Sosin
Journal: JAMA (1992)

<h3>Objective.</h3> —To rebut criticism of a previous study of motorcycle helmet—use laws through reanalysis with improved measures of exposure, stratification for regional differences in crash risk, and addressing of total motorcycle-related mortality and the grounds for targeting motorcyclists for helmet-use laws. <h3>Design.</h3> —Death certificate—based correlational study of motorcycle-related deaths and motorcycle helmet—use laws. <h3>Population Studied.</h3> —United States resident deaths from 1979 through 1986. <h3>Results.</h3> —Regardless of the denominator used (resident population, motorcycle registrations, or motorcycle crashes), states with full helmet-use laws had consistently lower head injury—associated death rates than states without such laws, even when stratified by region. Total motorcycle-related mortality, however, was similar between law groups. On a registration or crash basis, motorcyclists who died in crashes had a fivefold to sixfold higher risk of head injury than those who died using any other type of motor vehicle. <h3>Conclusion.</h3> —Full helmet-use laws were consistently associated with lower rates of head injury—associated death. While disagreement remains on the acceptability of the legislative approach, the scientific basis for motorcycle helmet— use laws as a head injury prevention tool appears sound.

A practicum for the use of lithium salts in affective psychoses
Authors: B. S. Levy
Journal: JAMA (1968)

More than 19 years of clinical experience have shown that lithium salts are effective therapy for acute manic attacks and more recent evidence suggests that it can prevent recurrent psychotic depressive or manic episodes. Unwarranted emphasis has been placed on its toxicity, since several fatalities occurred during the unsupervised use of the drug as a substitute for table salt. Knowledge of lithium's pharmacology and close attention to dosage and blood level allow this agent to be used safely. This report provides comprehensive information on its use.

Recent Developments in Nonspecific Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Authors: Joseph B. Kirsner, Roy G. Shorter
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (1982)

Etiology and PathogenesisUlcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are probably heterogeneous disorders,195 , 196 each of which shares similar clinical, pathologic, and biologic features; their individual identification will ultimately depend on the recognition of common characteristics (e.g., distinctive pathologic features, immunologic patterns, or genetic traits). No accepted analogues of inflammatory bowel disease have been found in animals or reproduced experimentally,197 , 198 and there is no evidence that another species acts as a reservoir for any putative infectious agent or agents for these human diseases.199 Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are more common in some countries (e.g., the United States, England, and Scandinavia, with . . .
Prevention and Treatment of Cancer-Related Infections
Authors: _ _
Journal: Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (2008)

Infectious diseases are important causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer. In certain instances, the malignancy itself can predispose patients to severe or recurrent infections. Neutropenia has been recognized for many decades as a major risk factor, and effective strategies to anticipate, prevent, and manage infectious complications in patients with cancer experiencing neutropenia have led to improved outcomes. Reflecting the heterogeneity of immunocompromised conditions in patients with cancer and the spectrum of pathogens to which they are susceptible, NCCN expanded the scope of the Fever and Neutropenia Panel in 2007 to create guidelines on Prevention and Treatment of Cancer-Related Infections. These guidelines, newly updated for 2008, characterize major categories of immunologic deficits in persons with cancer and the major pathogens to which they are susceptible.

After the publication of this work [1], an error was found in Fig. 1b. As described in the Results section that circ0084003 has 13 exons, it should be formed by 5-17 (13exons) exons, authors have described "formed by 5-19 exons". The authors extend their apology for the mistake caused by their action. With that mistake, the correct version of Fig. 1b is provided below.
Progress Toward Global Eradication of Poliomyelitis, 2001
Journal: JAMA (2002)

The report of the last case of smallpox from Somalia in 1977 demonstrated that an infectious disease could be eradicated globally. Because polioviruses have no animal reservoir and do not survive for long periods of time in the environment, and because lifelong immunity to paralytic poliomyelitis is conferred by existing, effective vaccines, poliomyelitis has been considered a candidate for eradication. In 1985, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) initiated a regional poliomyelitis eradication program. Based on the success of this program and high vaccination levels achieved worldwide by the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI), in May 1988, the World Health Assembly of the World Health Organization (WHO) adopted a resolution to eradicate poliomyelitis globally by the year 2000. This report summarizes progress of the global poliomyelitis eradication initiative from 1988 through 1991.

honored social activities take place.These include not only shooting clubs, hunting and target shooting activities, but also many family-oriented ones.Contrast this to the daily difficulties of a modern city-its muggers, youth gangs, break- ins, drug problems, anonymity, and so forth.A firearm in this latter setting may indeed become the tool for wrongdoers.The root of the problem, however, is the misuse of a tool.The logical reaction, therefore, should be to penalize those who misuse the tool.Deaths from the improper use of firearms are tragedies.They are, however, too often the manifestations of more basic problems in our society.Unfortunately, there are no easy or clear solutions to these problems.

Diagnostic Roentgenology
Authors: J. H. Talbott
Journal: JAMA (1962)

Five chapters of this excellent reference treatise on diagnostic roentgenology have been revised under the direction of Robbins, the new editor and successor to Ross Golden. Robbins has been responsible for the X-Ray Seminar which appears monthly inThe Journal. In keeping with the practice initiated by the founding editor, outstanding, highly qualified physicians were selected for the revisions. A reference volume such as this demands revision at regular intervals. New concepts, techniques, and critical reviews should have rather broad distribution. The specialist in other fields cannot escape the contributions of roentgenology and will seek reference help in this subject from time to time. It is also expected that the general physician would find much of value in such a volume.
Persistence of hepatitis B and hepatitis C viral genomes in primary liver cancers from HBsAg-negative patients: A study of a low-endemic area
Authors: P Paterlini
Journal: Hepatology (1993)

The role of HBV and HCV in the course of primary liver cancer in patients who are negative for HBsAg has been debated. Using a combination of serological and polymerase chain reaction assays, we investigated the association between HCV and HBV infections and primary liver cancer in 24 HBsAg-negative patients living in France. The presence of HCV RNA and HBV DNA sequences was tested for in serum and in tumorous and nontumorous liver samples. Twelve patients had anti-HCV, and 11 patients had anti-HBs and/or anti-HBc. HCV RNA sequences were found in the serum samples of all anti-HCV–positive patients and none of the patients who were negative. Patients with HCV viremia had HCV RNA genomic sequences and presumed replicative intermediates in both tumorous and nontumorous specimens. Sequence analysis of a hypervariable region in the E2/NS1 gene of HCV showed significant variations between the viral molecules isolated from the nontumorous, tumorous and serum samples. This eliminated the hypothesis of the contamination of the tumor by nontumorous cells and serum particles and assessed that liver tumor cells did contain HCV RNA genomes. Eleven of 22 patients tested had HBV DNA in the serum; 5 patients were anti-HBc positive and anti-HBs positive. Patients with HBV viremia had HBV DNA sequences in both tumorous and nontumorous liver specimens. Selective loss of part of the HBV genome in the tumorous tissue of two of these patients suggested HBV DNA persistence in clonally expanded malignant cells. Only 4 of the 22 patients were negative for both viruses. Our results show that HBsAg-negative hepatocellular cancer in France is associated with chronic HBV or HCV infection and, in some cases, both; these findings are consistent with an etiological role for HBV and HCV in HCC that develops in cirrhotic patients living in areas of low prevalence.

Seasonal arsenic exposure from burning chromium-copper-arsenate-treated wood
Authors: H. A. Peters
Journal: JAMA (1984)

All eight members of a rural Wisconsin family experienced recurring neurological and medical illness over three years, especially during the winter months. Arsenic, in concentrations of 12 to 87 ppm, was noted in the hair of the mother and father, and analysis of hair and fingernails of all family members demonstrated pathological levels of arsenic. For four years the five-room home had been heated with a small wood stove in which outdoor or marine plywood and wood remnants had been preferentially burned. Stove ashes that contained more than 1,000 ppm of arsenic contaminated the living area, and the ratio of copper, chromium, and arsenic pentoxide in this ash matched the ratio used in the chromium-copper-arsenate-treated wood.

Assessment of Self-Injurious Thoughts Using a Behavioral Test
Authors: Matthew K Nock, Mahzarin R Banaji
Journal: American Journal of Psychiatry (2007)

The assessment of self-injurious thoughts has been limited by a reliance on what individuals are willing or able to report explicitly. The authors examined a new method that measures self-injurious thoughts by using individuals' reaction times to self-injury-related stimuli on a computerized test.Eighty-nine adolescents who were not self-injurious (N=36) or had recently engaged in nonsuicidal self-injury (N=53) completed two versions of the Self-Injury Implicit Association Test, which measure the automatic association of self-injury with oneself and with favorableness.The tests revealed significant behavioral differences between the self-injurers and noninjurers. Moreover, test scores significantly improved the statistical prediction of nonsuicidal self-injury beyond that achieved with demographic and psychiatric factors.These initial results support the validity of the Self-Injury Implicit Association Test as a performance-based measure of self-injurious thoughts. Future research should further examine the usefulness of incorporating implicit measures in risk assessment and decision-making procedures for self-injury and other sensitive clinical behaviors.
Treatment of autoimmune hemolytic anemia with Vinca-loaded platelets
Authors: Y. S. Ahn
Journal: JAMA (1983)

We worked with a new strategy for the treatment of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) of the warm antibody type. Platelets were loaded with<i>Vinca</i>alkaloids and reacted with antiplatelet antibodies to facilitate their phagocytosis by macrophages, resulting in a measure of selective delivery of the drugs to the cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system, which destroy RBCs in AIHA. Four patients were studied. Three with AIHA refractory to splenectomy and the use of moderate doses of glucocorticoids achieved hematologic and clinical remissions. Administration of steroids was either discontinued or reduced to minimal doses after treatment. Remissions lasted three years in two patients and one year in the other. Responses were characterized by prompt prolongation of RBC survival, correction of anemia, and gradual decrease in cell-bound antibody. In one nonsplenectomized patient, the disorder did not respond. Platelet—<i>Vinca</i>alkaloid complex is useful in the treatment of AIHA refractory to splenectomy and use of steroids. (<i>JAMA</i>1983;249:2189-2194)
