<i>Announcement:</i>National High Blood Pressure Education Month — May 2016
Journal: MMWR Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (2016)

May is National High Blood Pressure Education Month. High blood pressure (hypertension) is a major contributor to heart disease and stroke, two leading causes of death in the United States.* High blood pressure affects one third of U.S. adults, or approximately 75 million persons, yet approximately 11 million of these persons are not aware they have hypertension, and approximately 18 million are not being treated (unpublished data) (1,2).
PTU-057 Point-Of-Contact Faecal Calprotectin (FC) Testing in Diarrhoea Helps Decision making for Referral to Gastroenterologists: a Primary Care Pilot Study in North East England
Authors: A Dhar, S H Lee, H Borthwick, P Nair, C White
Journal: Gut (2013)

<h3>Introduction</h3> Faecal Calprotectin (FC) is a cytosolic protein belonging to the S-100 family of calcium binding proteins found in neutrophils. It is excreted in the intestinal lumen in inflammatory conditions of the gut and can be used to distinguish irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) from other inflammatory bowel conditions such as colitis, diverticulosis, etc. Point-of-contact qualitative FC tests are now available and can be used in primary care to aid decision making for referrals to gastroenterologists for young patients presenting with chronic diarrhoea. <h3>Methods Aims</h3> To assess the feasibility and cost effectiveness of a primary care Pathway using a point-of-contact FC Test (Caldetect®) to aid decision making for referrals to gastroenterology in young patients presenting to their primary physicians with chronic diarrhoea. <b>Methods:</b>Primary Care data indicated that approximately 253 referrals are made annually to gastroenterologists from Primary Care to assess patients &lt; 60years presenting with diarrhoea, costing approx. £119,000 for investigations and consultations. Using a Caldetect® (Preventis, GmbH) point of contact FC test, it was estimated that a saving of £89,000 could be achieved. A pathway for investigating chronic diarrhoea using Caldetect® was designed and implemented in the community (population 150,000) between September 2011-March 2012. (this will be presented). FC results were categorised using manufacturer cut-offs of &lt;15 ug/g, 15–60 ug/g and &gt;60 ug/g. Patients with FC results of 15–60 and &gt;60 were deemed to have an inflammatory process and referred to Gastroenterology Clinics. Cost analysis was carried out using the 2010–11 tariffs for the NHS. <h3>Results</h3> 142 Caldetect® tests were carried out in Primary Care during this pilot phase. Of these, a negative result (&lt; 15 ug/g) was present in 89, with 36 tests being &gt; 60 ug/g. 3 tests were at the intermediate level and 14 tests could not be accurately reported. Negative results were managed in primary care as IBS. A monthly cost savings of £6100 was calculated taking consultation and endoscopy tariffs into account. <h3>Conclusion</h3> This pilot study demonstrates the feasibility and cost effectiveness of a Pathway for decision making and a point-of-care faecal calprotectin test in rationalising referrals to Gastroenterologists for chronic diarrhoea. <h3>Disclosure of Interest</h3> A.

This is a welcome and valuable update on an important discipline by North American investigators.It covers the historical roots of psychoneuroendocrinology, the roles of peptide, adrenocortical, gonadal and thyroid hormones in both endocrine and psychiatric illness, laboratory testing in psychoneuroendocrinology, and stress and neuroendocrine function.Unfortunately, the attention given to the various areas is rather inconsistent, as is the quality of the different chapters.

Tremor
Authors: W. Jeffrey Elias, Binit B. Shah
Journal: JAMA (2014)

Tremor, defined as a rhythmic and involuntary movement of any body part, is the most prevalent movement disorder, affecting millions of people in the United States. All adults have varying degrees of physiological tremor so it is imperative to distinguish physiological tremor from pathological tremor types. Tremor is not inherently dangerous, but it can cause significant disability at home and in the workplace. Common tremors like essential tremor and Parkinson disease tremor can be recognized by most clinicians at the early stages for the initiation of disease-specific medical therapies. Less common tremors, such as those induced by drugs or brain lesions, are also important to recognize because they may be more refractory to medical therapies and may require earlier referral to a neurological specialist. In patients with the most progressive and severe tremors that are resistant to medical therapies, surgical interventions are available and typically target deep brain regions with stimulation or lesioning. This Grand Rounds review describes the evaluation and evidence-based management of the most common tremors, essential tremor and Parkinson disease tremor.
Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis
Authors: Scott M. Grundy
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (1984)

Xanthomatosis typically occurs with hyperlipidemia, and tendon xanthomas are seen most commonly in familial hypercholesterolemia, a disorder associated with an increase in the plasma level of low-density lipoproteins. However, xanthomas are occasionally found in the absence of hyperlipidemia. For many years such lesions were unexplained, but recent investigations have shown that most cases of normolipidemic xanthomatosis are the result of various defects in the metabolism of sterols or lipoproteins. Although tendon and cutaneous xanthomas are not life-threatening, the defect causing them may predispose patients to atherosclerotic coronary heart disease. For this reason, normolipidemic patients with xanthomas should not be considered . . .

Jewish Observances
Authors: Stanley M. Fried
Journal: JAMA (1984)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> Being a physician who strongly advocates the traditional observance of biblical laws, I found the recent letter entitled "Rare Medical Occurrences in Jewish Traditions"<sup>1</sup>to be very interesting. But what struck me most (in a sadly humorous way) was that in a one-sentence, nonmedical judgment at the beginning of the letter ("Jewish religion has developed a set of practices and mores aimed at protecting health"), the authors managed to incorporate two of the biggest misconceptions about the Jewish way of life. If their statement were true, then the reporting of the cases that followed in their letter would be extremely threatening and destructive to Jewish faith. (Yet, after 3,500 years, Jewish faith is undaunted and unshaken, even strengthened, by episodes of physical suffering.) Rather, Jewish observances are based on divine decrees,<i>not</i>"developed" by man. And the purpose of the observance of these laws is the

LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
Authors: None P. P. B.
Journal: JAMA (1889)

(FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.) Radical Cure of Inguinal Hernia—Surgical Treatment of Uterine Retroversion—New Method of Shortening the Round Ligaments—New York County Medical Association. At the first regular meeting of the Academy of Medicine at which the new President, Professor Loomis, occupied the chair, Dr. Charles McBurney, whose admirable operation has of late become so popular among the surgeons of this city, read a paper on<i>The Treatment of Inguinal Hernia with Reference to Radical Cure</i>. As an introduction to the exposition of his own operation, which he said had been the result of much thought and labor, he presented some of the considerations which had led him to attempt a procedure different in some respects from any that had preceded it. In 1886 he met with some cases in which a return of the trouble after operations for the radical cure of hernia convinced him that one great essential to
The Role of Selenium in Iodine Metabolism in Children with Goiter
Authors: Pawel Zagrodzki, Hanna Szmigiel, Ryszard Ratajczak, Zbigniew Szybinski, Zofia Zachwieja
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (2000)

Possible interactions between selenium and iodine metabolism were investigated in 7- to 16-year-old children with goiter (n = 136) living in southeastern Poland in iodine-deficient areas influenced by a sulfur industry. The Se-iodine interactions in these children were compared to the interactions in children from outside of that region (n = 38). Blood selenium (BSe) concentration and plasma glutathione peroxidase activity were much lower in the study group (64.1 +/- 15.7 microg/L; 111.0 +/- 27.6 U/L) than in the control group (85.3 +/- 19.6 microg/L; 182.4 +/- 35.6 U/L). Almost all of the data [plasma thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration, plasma free thyroxine (fT(4)) concentration] fell within the reference limits. There was no statistically significant difference between the control and the study groups with respect to fT(4) and TSH. However, statistically significant differences of fT(4) and TSH in the study group were revealed between females belonging to the lower (n = 21; fT(4), 16.1 +/- 3.3 pmol/L; TSH, 1.83 +/- 1.05 mU/L) and upper Se quartiles (n = 24; fT(4), 14.5 +/- 2.2 pmol/L; TSH, 1. 26 +/- 0.90 mU/L), p < 0.05. Neither group differed in iodine in urine concentration, age, and body mass index. The difference in fT(4) concentrations can be attributed to an Se deficiency. The relationship exists only for females, which suggests a sex-linked hormonal response to concomitant Se and iodine deficiencies.
Solo Practice
Authors: Perry S. MacNeal
Journal: JAMA (1982)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> I was enjoying the article by Dr Paul Rhoads (1982; 247:2671), because it said so much about the education of the physician as opposed to training, until I was brought up short by item 5 under the heading "Considerations for Young People Aspiring to a Medical Career." Under this heading, he stated "The days of solo practice as it was a generation ago are over." I would like to raise a dissenting voice. To be sure, the group practice of medicine is now enjoying great popularity among physicians. However, it has many weaknesses that are gradually becoming apparent to the patients who, in the ultimate decision, will be the ones to determine the nature of the future practice of medicine. There will come a time when patients again will want to have free choice of consultants. There will come a time when physicians again will want to

Rehabilitation for frail nursing home residents
Authors: N. Pollak
Journal: JAMA (1994)

<h3>In Reply.</h3> —Conservative interpretation of our results is warranted. This is the first randomized trial of PT in nursing home residents and was limited to residents without severe cognitive impairment. Gains in mobility were modest and were not accompanied by significant improvements in other areas of physical function. Significant cost benefits associated with the mobility gains were not discerned, as neither nursing home costs nor total health care costs were lower in the PT group compared with the control group. Physical function (the primary outcome) was evaluated in a comprehensive and reliable manner using a battery of instruments that included performance-based, observer-rated, and self-perceived measures. Specifically, the PDI is a performance-based measure that incorporates areas that are routinely used in practice and research. Range of motion items are performed with standard goniometric techniques. Strength measures use the Nicholas Manual Muscle Tester, which has been shown to be reliable with trained
