Renal Function After Catheter Ablation of Atrial FibrillationKidney function is crucial for the management of patients with heart disease because even mild to moderate kidney dysfunction affects cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.Atrial fibrillation (AF) is more likely to develop in patients with advanced age, hypertension, or structural heart disease, which also precipitates kidney dysfunction.AF and kidney dysfunction often coexist in an individual patient; however, less is known about the association between AF and kidney function.We assessed changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over 1 year after catheter ablation of AF.At baseline, 26% and 66% of patients had eGFR of 30 to 59 and 60 to 89 mL ⅐ min Ϫ1 ⅐ 1.73 m Ϫ2 , respectively.During follow-up, 72% of patients were free from tachyarrhythmias after the ablation, 13% of whom were taking antiarrhythmics.Over a 1-year follow-up, patients who were free from tachyarrhythmias after ablation showed a significant increase in eGFR, whereas patients with recurrent arrhythmias showed a significant decrease in eGFR.After adjustment for age, type of AF, baseline eGFR, and baseline left ventricular ejection fraction, multivariate analysis demonstrated that freedom from tachyarrhythmia after ablation was associated with an increase in eGFR over 1 year after ablation.This study demonstrated a link between AF and kidney dysfunction.Further investigation is required to clarify the causal relationship between these 2 diseases.See p 2380.
Parting Thoughts
Authors: G Lucier
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (2000)

It has been said that there is no stronger urge than the urge to edit someone else's writing. Upon my retirement from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), and concurrently from my position as co-editor-in-chief of Environmental Health Perspectives, I find that perhaps the stronger urge is not to edit but rather to editorialize. Therefore, I would like to provide some parting thoughts, and with them hopefully some insights gained from my experiences, which have spanned the broad spectrum of environmental health, from basic science to public health policy to science communication. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work on many different aspects of the environmental health continuum during my time at the NIEHS. In looking back on a career of 30 years in environmental health, including 28 years as co-editor-in-chief of this journal, I am struck by a kaleidoscope of thoughts, emotions, and nostalgia, and in juxtaposition to these remembrances, a new perspective on the future. As the field of environmental health continues to expand as both a scientific discipline and a global movement, I feel that there are some major components which it must enthusiastically encompass if the field is to continue to provide real answers to the most pressing environmental health issues of our day.

Moonlighting
Authors: Richard L. Cohen
Journal: JAMA (1990)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> The article on moon-lighting by medical residents by Drs Cohen and Leeds<sup>1</sup>presents both a useful overview of this nagging problem and a realistic approach to its resolution. The current economic status of most of these house officers (particularly their heavy indebtedness due to educational loans) makes it inevitable that moonlighting will remain a permanent fixture in postgraduate training. Therefore, it seems logical to search for ways to convert a situation that carries potential for negative impact on training and on patient care into one that might actually improve both of these. Perhaps the most obvious and direct method is to accept its inevitability and incorporate the moonlighting into training. Since 1974, our faculty and hospital administration have done just this, with gratifying success.<sup>2</sup> Briefly, the guidelines we have established are as follows: The residency training director and the hospital administrator are designated the

Journal: BMJ (2008)

The government has agreed in principle that the General Medical Council, the medical profession's regulator, will take over responsibility for postgraduate medical training in the United Kingdom.The move to assimilate the Postgraduate Medical and Training Board within the GMC-which will not go ahead before 2010-has been welcomed by Graeme Catto, the council's president.Sir Graeme said, "The merger will bring under one roof the regulation of all stages of medical education and will deliver real benefits for patients and the public, as well as for the medical profession."He added that the board, which was set up in autumn 2005, had made an important contribution to postgraduate medical education in the UK and promised to maintain the momentum it had generated.However, in a statement the Royal College of Surgeons of England expressed its disappointment at the slow timetable for implementing the change."We are pleased with the acceptance that PMETB [the Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board] will become part of the GMC.However, it is disappointing that no opportunity can apparently be found to carry out this badly needed reform until 2010," it said.Altogether the government agreed (or agreed in principle) to 24 of 47 recommendations made by John Tooke in the report of his inquiry into the reform of Modernising Medical Careers (MMC), which was published in January (BMJ 2008;336:61, 12 Jan).Other proposals were put on hold for "further consideration" or were dismissed as the responsibility of other organisations.Proposals that were agreed in principle are to be evaluated as part of the next stage review, being carried out by health minister Lord Darzi and due to be published in June.Alan Johnson, the health secretary, said that his department needed more time to consider one of the late additions to the list of recommendations, the proposal to set up a new independent body, provisionally called NHS Medical Education England, GMC will take responsibility for postgraduate medical training, as advised by Tooke report UK NEWS Deaths from cancer fall after 20 years of screening in England, p 527 WorlD NEWS European Commission looks into possible restrictive practices by drug companies, p 524 bmj.com london GPs express fear over Darzi's proposals for the capital

Vitamin Politics
Authors: Victor Herbert
Journal: JAMA (1985)

<h3>Vitamins and Minerals: Help or Harm? by Charles W. Marshall (People's Health Library Book, Stephen Barrett, ed), 259 pp, $14.95, Philadelphia, George F Stickley Co, 1983.</h3> As Stephen Barrett notes in the foreword to<i>Vitamin Politics</i>, more than 1 million Americans are involved in selling vitamins through health food stores, pharmacies, supermarkets, mail-order houses, and huge multilevel sales companies. John Fried has updated his 1975 book, formerly entitled<i>The Vitamin Conspiracy</i>, with new information to give us the latest on how the promoters of vitamin quackery were helped by politicians to hamper the Food and Drug Administration and other federal agencies in their efforts to protect the public against worthless to toxic doses of vitamins. In his introduction, Fried notes: [I]n researching the medical literature and talking to dozens of experts, I became convinced that vitamins in massive doses are of no value to 99.9 percent of the people swallowing
Rapid resolution of pulmonary thromboemboli in man. An angiographic study
Authors: H. L. Fred
Journal: JAMA (1966)

Experimentally induced pulmonary thromboemboli in animals may undergo rapid, spontaneous resolution.<sup>1-5</sup>Little information is available, however, concerning the early fate of pulmonary thromboemboli in man. Sautter et al<sup>6</sup>described two patients with massive pulmonary thromboembolism in whom selective angiograms showed disappearance of the occlusive lesions within 25 and 128 days. Simon and Sasahara,<sup>7</sup>using the same technique, observed regression of filling defects in lobar arteries within eight weeks in one patient and complete clearing of multiple segmental obstructions within six weeks in another. Sabiston and Wagner,<sup>8</sup>using the method of radioisotope scanning in a patient with recurrent pulmonary thromboemboli, noted significant improvement in blood flow to the upper part of the right lung two months after the initial scan. In the study reported here, selective pulmonary arteriograms were performed serially to define more precisely the natural history of acute pulmonary thromboembolism in man. <h3>Material and Methods</h3>

The emergency department as a pathway to admission for poor and high-cost patients
Authors: R. S. Stern
Journal: JAMA (1991)

<h3>Background.</h3> —To determine the importance of the emergency department as the means of access to the hospital for the poor and the fiscal implications of providing these services, we examined the relationship between patients' socioeconomic status and admission via the emergency department. We also determined the association between entering the hospital via the emergency department and hospital resource use. <h3>Methods.</h3> —We conducted a study of 20 089 patients admitted to five Massachusetts hospitals (three community, two tertiary care) during a 6-month period. We determined the proportions of patients within various socioeconomic and disease groupings who entered through the emergency department. We compared length of stay and charges for patients admitted through the emergency department with those for patients admitted through other routes. <h3>Results.</h3> —Overall, 51% of patients entered via the emergency department. Elderly patients (age &gt;65 years; odds ratio, 1.87) and patients with lower socioeconomic status as measured by income, occupation, and education (odds ratios, 2.38, 1.47, and 1.69, respectively) were more likely to enter the hospital via the emergency department than other patients. After adjustment for diagnosis related group, severity as measured by DRGSCALE, and socioeconomic status as measured by income, and excluding outliers, patients admitted via the emergency department stayed 27% longer and incurred 13% higher charges than other patients (<i>P</i>&lt;.001). <h3>Conclusions.</h3> —Our data indicate that patients with lower socioeconomic status are more likely than other patients to use the emergency department as their means of access to the hospital and that patients admitted via the emergency department use far more resources than patients in the same diagnosis related group admitted by other means. Hospitals that make emergency department services more available may be more likely to hospitalize socioeconomically disadvantaged patients and may be at a substantial financial disadvantage under per-case reimbursement systems such as Medicare.

Sickle cell anemia and iron deficiency. Resemblance to sickle thalassemia
Authors: C. Natta
Journal: JAMA (1982)

The case of a 23-year-old patient with sickle cell anemia and coexisting iron deficiency is described. The iron deficiency was not a result of phlebotomies, hematuria, or a gastrointestinal lesion, but was most likely the result of intravascular hemolysis and the rapid turnover of irreversibly sickled cells. This syndrome is commonly confused with sickle β'-thalassemia. (<i>JAMA</i>1982;247:1442-1443)
