Prescriptions for peace in a nuclear age
Authors: G. D. Lundberg
Journal: JAMA (1985)

The ethical basis for the current position of the American Medical Association (AMA) on nuclear war stems from its first Code of Medical Ethics that was adopted at the May 1846 meeting shortly after its founding. The Code contained the following provision that remained basically unchanged until 1957: "As good citizens, it is the duty of physicians to be ever vigilant for the welfare of the community, and to bear their part in sustaining its institutions and burdens." The current (1980) "Principles of Medical Ethics" of the AMA states in its preamble, "As a member of this profession, a physician must recognize responsibility not only to patients, but also to society, to other health professionals and to self." Paragraph VII of the Code states, "A physician shall recognize a responsibility to participate in activities contributing to an improved community." It was upon this backdrop that the House of Delegates of

Irreversible pulmonary hypertension after treatment with fenfluramine.
Authors: J McMurray, P Bloomfield, H C Miller
Journal: BMJ (1986)

Retention of urine in occult anorectal herpesUrinary retention in patients with symptomatic anogenital herpes simplex infection is well documented.We report two cases ofmicturition difficulties in patients with occult anorectal infection. Case reportsCase I-A 23 year old man was transferred to the Whittington Hospital from HM prison with acute urinary retention which necessitated catheterisation.He gave a five day history of dysuria without urethral discharge and denied anal discomfort or discharge.The anus and perianal area appeared normal but proctoscopy showed a severely inflamed rectal mucosa.Both rectal and urethral smears contained multiple polymorphs but no organisms on Gram staining and were negative on culture for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chianydia trachomatis.The rectal culture was, however, positive for herpes simplex virus.The catheter was removed after 24 hours but was reinserted because of continued retention.He required catheterisation for a further nine days, after which he managed to pass urine without further difficulty.The patient subsequently absconded from hospital and was not seen for follow up.Case 2-A 30 year old homosexual man attended the department of genito- urinary medicine on 6 April with a sore throat, headache, and enlarged cervical lymph nodes.One week later he developed perianal discomfort.Examination showed two small, dry perianal vesicles but no inguinal lymphadenopathy.Culture of the vesicles for herpes simplex virus was negative.Initial serological studies yielded a positive treponema haemagglutination test result and positive rapid plasma reagin test at a titre of 1/256, and so treatment for secondary syphilis was started in the form of procaine penicillin injections daily for 15 days.On 18
Serum uric acid and obesity in Hawaiians
Authors: L. A. Healey
Journal: JAMA (1966)

HYPERURICEMIA in the Maori of New Zealand has been described. Obesity, diabetes, and ischemic heart disease were also noted to be very prevalent in these Polynesian people.<sup>1</sup>Another Polynesian group, the Hawaiians, also have a high rate of obesity,<sup>2</sup>ischemic heart disease,<sup>3</sup>and diabetes.<sup>4</sup>In view of the reported relation of hyperuricemia to obesity,<sup>5</sup>ischemic heart disease,<sup>6</sup>and diabetes,<sup>7</sup>it was thought that the Hawaiians would show elevated uric acid levels similar to the Maori. This study reports the finding of a normal mean serum uric acid (SUA) level in a group of Hawaiian men. Body build and serum lipids were also measured and are discussed in relation to the uric acid. <h3>Materials and Methods</h3> The sample consisted of 49 pure Hawaiian, adult men. It was limited to adult men to avoid the known variations in SUA levels related to puberty and menopause.

Incidence of hemorrhagic complications in patients with cancer
Authors: R. J. Belt
Journal: JAMA (1978)

The incidence and type of hemorrhage were studied in 718 patients with solid tumors. All patients were receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapeutic agents. Seventy-five patients (10.4%) experienced one or more episodes of hemorrhage. Bleeding was due to tumor invasion in 25 patients (33.3%), was due to disseminated intravascular coagulation in seven patients (9.3%), and was unrelated to malignant neoplasms or drug treatment in six patients (8%). Thirty-seven patients (49.3%) had hemorrhages associated with drug-induced thrombocytopenia. There was a quantitative relationship between the incidence of hemorrhage and the platelet count for both the thrombocytopenic group and the total group of patients with hemorrhages from all causes. The incidence of hemorrhage was low until the platelet count decreased below 10,000/cu mm. (<i>JAMA</i>239:2571-2574, 1978)
TB or not TB, that is the question
Authors: H. M. Jolson
Journal: JAMA (1992)

<h3>To the Editor.</h3> —Based on a cross-sectional analysis comparing prevalence rates of tuberculin positivity in seropositive and seronegative intravenous drug users, Graham et al<sup>1</sup>conclude that "induration 5 mm or greater in diameter... significantly underestimates the 'true' infection rate" among seropositive individuals and advocate using 2-mm induration as the cutoff for isoniazid prophylaxis. The final cross-sectional sample included 17.3% (109/630) eligible seropositive individuals and 11.2% (151/1347) eligible seronegative individuals, recruited from an initial cohort of 2921 subjects. Importantly, a documented history of a positive tuberculin skin test or a previous tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis were among study exclusion criteria. Without additional information on reasons for nonparticipation and a description of nonparticipants, differential enrollment based on prior tuberculin positivity or prior disseminated disease offers an alternative explanation for the apparent difference in rates of tuberculin positivity. Plausible reasons for differential enrollment include (1) more rigorous screening of seropositive individuals for TB
Infection Risks of Haemodialysis--Some Preventive Aspects
Authors: Yvonne Cossart, E Gillespie, D Jones, J Kelsey, B Moore, I Murray, Sheila Polakoff, G Turner, D Burbridge, J Coleman, R Al
Journal: BMJ (1968)

Three aspects of haemodialysis are of special concern to the microbiologist: (1) the hepatitis risk, (2) shunt sepsis, and (3) the hygiene of the equipment used. It is suggested that the risks of infection and cross-infection in haemodialysis units may be diminished by several measures, including the avoidance of overcrowding the patients, setting up codes of practice for the staff, topical disinfection of the patient's skin, and sterilization of equipment. In addition pathologists should emphasize to laboratory staff dealing with specimens from patients that these carry major risks to health.

Abstract P033: Relationship Between Adiponectin Level and Metabolic Syndrome after Weight Loss in Patients with Abdominal Obesity
Authors: Aelita Berezina, Olga Belyaeva, Olga Berkovich, Elena Baranova, Tatyina Karonova
Journal: Circulation (2013)

Objective: to investigate the relationship between adiponectin level and metabolic syndrome (MS) after weight loss in patients with abdominal obesity (AO). Method: A 3-year randomized lifestyle intervention trial performed in 153 patients with AO, age 43,2±0,8 yrs, BMI 32,1±1,9 kg/m 2 . 74 patients keep hypocaloric diet (gr.1), 79 patients keep diet and performed aerobic exercise (gr.2). Adiponectin concentration, body mass (BM), waist circumference (WC), body fat (BF), BMI, the levels of BP, glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, TG, CRP were measured before and after a 3-years outpatient intervention program. Results. 100% patients with AO had some metabolic disorders and 38% had MS before the treatment. The adiponectin levels and others parameters didn’t differ between the groups before intervention (p&gt;0,05). In 3 years 53 (71,6%) and 58 (73,4%) patients from 1 and 2 groups reduced weight. The rate of improving BM, BMI, BF, WC, HDL-C, TG and insulin was grater in patients gr.2 (p&lt;0,05). The favorable dynamics of MS (MS didn’t appeared at the end of study or didn’t registered in patients who had it before) didn’t differ between the groups 1 and 2 (81,1% and 91,4%, p&gt;0,05). The increasing of adiponectin level occurred more often in patients gr.2, than gr.1 (93,1% and 58,5%, p=0,001, respectively). Adiponectin level increased only in patients gr.2 (18,0±1,1mcg/ml and 23,8±1,3 mcg/ml, p= [[Unable to Display Character: &amp;#1088;]]=0,0001), didn’t changed in gr.1 (p&gt;0,05). It was established that in patients with combination of weight loss and increasing of adiponectin level favorable dynamics of MS occurred more often than in patients who lost weight without increasing of adiponectin level (91,7% and 69,2%, p=0,0001). In patients with favorable dynamics of MS increasing of adiponectin level had met more often, than in patients with unfavorable dynamics of MS (MS continued or appeared) (88,6% and 11,4%, p=0,0001). Increasing of adiponectin level associated with positive dynamics of the MS - OR=9,1 (4,0-20,6). Conclusion. Combination of weight loss and increasing of adiponectin level associated with favorable dynamics of the metabolic syndrome.

Singh and Yu wonder whether the increased prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms and worse survival in patients randomly assigned to receive clarithromycin, 2000 mg twice daily, could reflect undiagnosed adrenal insufficiency. We do not believe that the gastrointestinal toxicity observed in the high-dose clarithromycin arm was a result of adrenal insufficiency. Patients were randomly assigned to one of three treatment arms, and we did not observe significant imbalances in patient characteristics by treatment. Gastrointestinal toxicity is a well-known, dose-related complication of macrolide therapy.

DNA probes promise to transform diagnosis of infectious disease
Authors: B. Merz
Journal: JAMA (1987)

DNA PROBES are about to revolutionize the diagnosis of infectious disease. So predicted several representatives of laboratory medicine and the biotechnology industry who spoke at a symposium, "DNA Probes in the Practice of Medicine," sponsored by the American Medical Association this spring in Washington, DC. It is hard to challenge such a forecast. In theory, the probes—tiny fragments of DNA that bind to identical complementary DNA fragments—have unsurpassed diagnostic potential. They can identify any living organism, be it virus, bacterium, or cellular parasite, by a certain stretch of DNA that belongs to that organism exclusively. Thus, probes may be developed for DNA that is exclusive to one species of bacterium or viral strain or common to all species in a given bacterial genus or viral class. It is this property that makes geneprobe diagnosis so attractive, according to David C. Ward, MD, professor of human genetics, biophysics, and biochemistry, Yale

Hysteria
Authors: Robert A. Woodruff
Journal: JAMA (1971)

The results of a number of recent studies of hysteria are summarized. There is evidence that hysteria, defined by objective criteria, is a syndrome distinct from other psychiatric syndromes, distinct from medical illness in which there are multiple complaints, and distinct from cases in which conversion symptoms occur in relative isolation. The central clinical feature of hysteria is an array of complaints spread throughout the sympton review. This concept of hysteria has been useful as an instrument of research; in addition, it serves as an important aid to the process of decision making for a group of patients whose management is difficult.
Somatosensory System
Authors: Oscar Sugar
Journal: JAMA (1974)

In this compendium of the anatomy and physiology of the sensory system, all of the chapters written by the 25 authors of various national origins are in English. This makes available many valuable details hitherto obscured for those American researchers who lack facility in foreign languages. After initial chapters on cutaneous, joint, and tendon receptors, attention is turned to the afferent fibers in dorsal roots and their first way station in the spinal cord. Various relays are described, with particular attention to the dorsal horn where laminar organization is described by Patrick Wall, who elaborates the best extant description of the "gate theory." This is increasingly referred to by workers in the field of pain, including the acupuncturists. The ascending pathways in the spinal cord are shown to include a relatively newly described spinocervical tract that ends in a lateral cervical nucleus, and then passes with the more traditionally described
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Infant Mortality—United States, 1995-2002
Journal: JAMA (2005)

A national health objective for the year 2000 was to reduce the infant mortality rate (IMR) in the United States to 7.0 deaths per 1,000 live births among infants aged <1 year. The national health objective for 2010 targets a rate of 4.5 infant deaths per 1,000 live births; an overarching goal calls for eliminating disparities among racial and ethnic populations. To examine racial and ethnic disparities in IMRs, data were analyzed from the National Vital Statistics System for the period 1995-2002. IMRs were calculated by race/ethnicity of the mother in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia (DC). During 1995-2002, the overall IMR in the United States declined from 7.6 infant deaths per 1,000 live births in 1995 to 6.8 in 2001, and then increased to 7.0 in 2002. On the basis of data for 1995-2002 combined, the target of 4.5 infant deaths per 1,000 live births had been achieved by few racial/ethnic populations in few states. To reach the target in all racial/ethnic populations, strategies should identify and address those factors that contribute to high IMRs and disparities among populations.
