Septic Abortion
Authors: Phillip G. Stubblefield, David A. Grimes
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (1994)

Abortion-related deaths, which account for 47% of total maternal mortality in the world, result primarily from sepsis and are widespread in developing countries where abortion is illegal or inaccessible. Septic abortion offers opportunities for prevention on the primary, secondary, and tertiary level of medial care. Primary prevention of septic abortion encompasses the provision of effective contraception, provision of safe and legal abortion in cases of contraceptive failure, and appropriate medical management of abortion. Secondary prevention involves the prompt diagnosis of endometriosis and effective treatment to avert more serious infection. The diagnosis of septic abortion should be considered when women of reproductive age present to health facilities with vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and fever. Tertiary prevention is aimed at avoiding the serious complications of postabortal infection, including hysterectomy and death. Women with high fever, pelvic peritonitis, and tachycardia should undergo uterine evacuation and parental antibiotic therapy. Supportive care for cardiovascular system and other organs may be essential. The medical technology needed to avert serious complications and deaths from septic abortion is available. Lacking is a political commitment on the part of many governments and health care agencies to address this avoidable contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality.

Banking of Human Tissue for Biomonitoring and Exposure Assessment: Utility for Environmental Epidemiology and Surveillance
Authors: Lynn R. Goldman, Hoda Anton-Culver, Martin Kharrazi, Elinor Blake
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1995)

Human tissue banking could provide a tool to address a number of public health concerns.We can potentially use it to monitor trends in human exposures, serve as an early warning system for new environmental exposures, assess low-level exposures around hazardous waste and other point sources of pollutants, evaluate the effectiveness of regulatory programs, and study etiologies of diseases (e.g., childhood cancer and birth defects) that are likely to be related to the environment.This article discusses opportunities to establish human tissue banks in connection with pre- existing public health surveillance programs for cancer and adverse reproductive outcomes.This is a cost-effective way to conduct surveillance and enhances the ability to carry out epidemiologic studies.The article also discusses ethical issues that are particularly important for public health prac- tice.One is the issue of risk communication and the need to explain risks in a way that provides people with the information they need to determine appropriate action on the individual and community levels.Second is the issue of environmental justice.We recommend early involvement of com- munities that are likely to be involved in tissue-banking projects and full explanation of individual and group social risks from their participation.
Monitoring quality of care in the Medicare program. Two proposed systems
Authors: R. H. Brook
Journal: JAMA (1987)

TWENTY years ago, when much of the methods work in quality assessment began,<sup>1</sup>an age of optimism about the provision of health services in the nation appeared to have dawned. Resources seemed unlimited, and legislation to increase access to services for the underserved was at last being enacted. Measures of quality and health status were seen as crucial aids in knowing where to put additional funds to make Americans as healthy as possible, and it was believed that more resources would be available to develop the best possible methods for assessing quality and health status. As we now know, events did not unfold as had been so expansively expected. Even as access to care improved, costs of health care escalated beyond all imagined levels. In this environment, the field of quality assessment did not flourish as its proponents had hoped. Apparently unlimited resources and rapid technologic changes were, perhaps,
Study of Some Biological Indices of the State of the Sympathoadrenaline System under the Effect of Polychlorocamphene
Authors: U. A. Kuz'minskaya, V. A. Ivanitskii
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1979)

The effect of exposure to different amounts of polychlorocamphene (toxaphene) on the level of cathecholamines (noradrenalin and adrenalin), their precursors (DOPA and dophamine), and a metabolite (vanillylmandelic acid) in tissues (adrenals, brain, heart) and daily urine in white male rats has been studied. It was established that the single administration of 120 mg/kg toxaphene (half the LD50) as well as 2.4 mg/kg (1/100 of LD50) for 1 and 3 months produced a disturbance of catecholamine metabolism. The absolute level of ratio of separate components of the sympathicoadrenalic system is unequally changed in tissues, the breakdown of catecholamines is increased, and the specificity of their excretion is destroyed.
Use of antibiotics in preventing recurrent acute otitis media and in treating otitis media with effusion. A meta-analytic attempt to resolve the brouhaha
Authors: R. L. Williams
Journal: JAMA (1993)

<h3>Objective.</h3> —To determine the efficacy of antibiotics for prophylaxis of recurrent otitis media and treatment of otitis media with effusion (OME) in children. <h3>Data Sources.</h3> —MEDLINE from 1966 through April 1993, textbooks,<i>Current Contents</i>, and bibliographies of selected articles. <h3>Study Selection.</h3> —Thirty-three studies initially identified were reviewed by three blinded reviewers assessing study quality and suitability for inclusion. Twenty-seven met inclusion criteria for the meta-analyses. <h3>Data Extraction.</h3> —We abstracted quantitative data and calculated rate differences (RDs) using tympanometry as the preferred outcome measure. <h3>Data Synthesis.</h3> —Nine studies of antibiotic prophylaxis of recurrent otitis media with 958 subjects had an RD of 0.11 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.03 to 0.19) favoring antibiotic treatment. Twelve studies of short-term patient outcomes of OME with 1697 subjects had an RD favoring antibiotics of 0.16 (95% CI, 0.03 to 0.29), while eight studies using the ear as the outcome measure with 2052 ears studied had an RD of 0.25 (95% CI, 0.10 to 0.40). No significant difference was shown between placebo and antibiotics (RD, 0.06; 95% CI, -0.03 to 0.14) in the eight studies of longer-term outcome of OME. Subgroup analyses by antibiotic grouping, duration of treatment, and duration of disease did not show significant differences. <h3>Conclusions.</h3> —Antibiotics appear to have beneficial but limited effect on recurrent otitis media and short-term resolution of OME. Longer-term benefit for OME has not been shown. The findings are limited by the failure of most studies to consider potential confounders and by inability to identify groups of patients most likely to benefit. (<i>JAMA</i>. 1993;270:1344-1351)
Preliminary Quarantine.
Authors: Henry F. Langhorst
Journal: JAMA (1903)

Elmhurst, Ill., Oct. 26, 1903. <h3>To the Editor:</h3> —I wish to suggest a plan that I believe, if carried out, would be of great value to the public and at the same time would relieve the physician of a great load of responsibility. It is difficult in the incipiency of many infectious diseases to establish a positive diagnosis. Measles, rötheln and scarlet fever are at times confused, as are tonsillitis and diphtheria, chicken-pox and smallpox. It is often difficult to establish a strict quarantine in these doubtful cases. The public, in general, has a wholesome dread of placarded houses, and the strict isolation of the patient would be fostered if in every infectious disease the house be placarded with a sign like the following: "Contagious disease here," or "Infectious disease here." This sign could be put up in the beginning of every infectious disease, and in this manner we could

Global statistics estimate that 15% of all cases of lung cancer in men and 53% in women are not attributable to smoking, and these data indicate that worldwide, approximately 25% of patients with lung cancer are never smokers. The etiology of lung cancer is disputed. The present study reviews the genes associated with susceptibility to lung cancer among never smokers and suggests possibilities for the involvement of metabolic syndrome. The environment appears to have changed the genes susceptible to lung cancer. Classical genes associated with lung cancer are decreasing and novel emerging genes may reflect changes in lifestyle. We provide evidence that the genes associated with susceptibility to lung cancer in never smokers are very similar to those reported in patients with metabolic syndrome, and that simply quitting smoking is not sufficient as the primary means of preventing lung cancer.

Comparison of computed density and microscopic morphometry in pulmonary emphysema.
Authors: P A Gevenois, P De Vuyst, V de Maertelaer, J Zanen, D Jacobovitz, M G Cosio, J C Yernault
Journal: American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (1996)

The purpose of this prospective study was to verify whether the percentage area of lung occupied by lowest attenuation values on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans reflects microscopic emphysema and to compare this quantification with the information yielded by the most widely used pulmonary function tests (PFT). Preoperative HRCT scans were obtained with 1-cm intervals in 38 subjects. With a semiautomatic evaluation procedure, the percentage areas occupied by attenuation values inferior to thresholds ranging from -900 Hounsfield units (HU) to -970 HU were calculated for the lobe or lung to be resected. Emphysema was microscopically quantified by using a computer-based method, measuring the perimeters and interwall distances of alveoli and alveolar ducts. The strongest correlation was found for -950 HU. As a second step, we evaluated possible correlations between PFT and microscopic measurements. Finally, considering the microscopic measurements as a standard, we tried to investigate their relationships with each of the PFT and with the relative area occupied by attenuation values lower than -950 HU for both lungs. This revealed that the diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide associated with HRCT quantification is sufficient to predict microscopic measurements. We concluded that the percentage area of lung occupied by attenuation values lower than -950 HU is a valid index of pulmonary emphysema.

"THE ULTRAVIOLET RAY AS A PROPHYLACTIC AGAINST RADIODERMATITIS"
Authors: George M. MacKee
Journal: JAMA (1926)

<h3>To the Editor:</h3> —In an article entitled "The Ultraviolet Ray as a Prophylactic Against Radiodermatitis" by George C. Andrews and the writer, published inThe Journal, Nov. 28, 1925, several errors were made when quoting from an article by R. H. Rulison entitled "The Prophylaxis of Roentgen-Ray Overdosage," published in The Journal, Nov. 8, 1924. Rulison's patient was a woman instead of a man, as quoted by us. The roentgen ray was applied through a one inch aperture in a lead screen. We stated that a very small area of skin had been irradiated. The ultraviolet ray was of a strength sufficient to cause a slight erythema after four daily exposures. We stated that the roentgen-ray treatment was followed by very vigorous treatment with the Kromayer lamp. Rulison estimated the dose of roentgen rays administered to his patient as 4⅓ units. We stated that several times the standard unfiltered erythema

Measuring Childhood Asthma Prevalence Before and After the 1997 Redesign of the National Health Interview Survey--United States
Journal: JAMA (2000)

Asthma is the most common chronic disease of childhood and a leading cause of disability among children (1,2). Since 1980, asthma prevalence has increased dramatically in children (3,4). The National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), the principal source of asthma prevalence data for the United States, was redesigned in 1997. This report presents NHIS data from 1980-1998 to examine the effect of the redesign on measuring trends in asthma prevalence overall and among age and racial subgroups of children. The findings indicate that although asthma prevalence estimates for 1997-1998 are lower than those preceding changes in the survey design, estimates after 1997 are not comparable to previous estimates. Additional data are needed to establish a new trend after 1997.
