Study says memories of violent death linger in survivors, trigger psychosocial problems
Authors: C. A. Raymond
Journal: JAMA (1988)

VIOLENT DEATH at the hands of a person or an out-of-control automobile is tragic in itself. Now there are indications that many of the surviving relatives, whether or not they themselves witnessed the death, continue to suffer the consequences of the tragedy long after its passing, becoming "indirect victims." Many suffer all the symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a constellation of anxiety symptoms, flashbacks, and avoidance behaviors. Little to date has been known about how many Americans are such indirect victims, still less about which of them will experience lingering emotional problems. At the Boston meeting of the Society of Behavioral Medicine, a team of investigators reported the results of a national survey of Americans about the prevalence of indirect victimization and preliminary data on some of the factors most likely to be associated with long-term aftereffects. This study found that more than 4 million adult Americans are indirect
Fractures
Authors: B. F. Morrey
Journal: JAMA (1985)

This is the second edition of what has proved to be the standard textbook of fracture management in this country and probably around the world. The major strengths of the two-volume first edition have been maintained in this present version; these include excellent and lucid organization, multiple knowledgeable contributors, and an extensive bibliography. One can focus on a particular type of fracture and its management or use the text as a reference source. The current revised edition, under the capable direction of Drs Charles A. Rockwood and David P. Green, is an improvement over the first in several noticeable ways. Each chapter seems to have been modified, and some have been extensively rewritten. The introductory paragraph includes an extensive discussion of the biomechanics of fractures, which is quite appropriate with the present-day emphasis on this aspect of understanding fractures. Additional updates include a new section on the current management of
Surgical Management of Vascular Disease
Authors: D. E. Strandness
Journal: JAMA (1983)

A single-author text with limited references would seem to be a bold undertaking for so large a field as vascular surgery. This book is intended for surgeons in training and those with limited experience in the field. As I reviewed the contents, there were places in which I would disagree with the author, but this is only natural given the complexity of the issues involved. The key question, of course, is whether the book meets its intended goals. I believe it does. For those of us familiar with the field, the instruction of the neophyte is often a frustrating experience. Where do we start? If one is in an academic environment, the urge is to present the beginner with the latest information with little reference to previous work. This is satisfactory only if the student is somehow able to assimilate and relate past accomplishments to the current views, a difficult
Angiography of a clinically nonfunctioning pheochromocytoma. Case report and review of the literature
Authors: R. G. Levitt
Journal: JAMA (1975)

PHEOCHROMOCYTOMAS are catecholamine-producing tumors derived from chromaffin cells. Approximately 90% are found in or adjacent to the adrenal gland. Only 10% are clinically nonfunctioning, ie, tumors that do not produce either paroxysmal or sustained hypertension. Clinically unsuspected pheochromocytomas have been discovered incidentally at postmortem examination and at surgery for unrelated reasons, or for a lesion that was first seen with local signs such as pain or abdominal mass. We recently had the opportunity to study angiographically and histopathologically a clinically nonfunctioning pheochromocytoma. <h3>Report of a Case</h3> A 37-year-old man was admitted to another hospital in September 1973, with a one-year history of dull, right upper quadrant and right flank pain and a 7-kg (15-1b) weight loss. On physical examination, the patient's vital signs were normal, including a blood pressure of 134/82 mm Hg. A soft, nontender mass, 4 cm in diameter, was palpable in the right upper quadrant.

Davis-Christopher Textbook of Surgery: The Biological Basis of Modern Surgical Practice
Authors: Ben Eiseman
Journal: JAMA (1982)

Smith's<i>Papyrus</i>, Osler's<i>Medicine</i>, and Sabiston's<i>Surgery</i>—these are probably the three most widely read medical texts in history. The 1977 edition of the latter has been translated into six languages besides English. The obvious question is, Why a 12th edition written only four years after the last? Justification for the new edition lies primarily in the first half of this massive (2,481 pages) new testament. If it were merely an atlas of operative surgery or a standard surgical text, a stately edition every ten to 15 years would serve. But as the subtitle indicates, the objective of this text is to describe the biological basis of modern surgical practice—a field where the doubling time approaches that of a rabbit. This remarkable text, which is almost as much a medical as a surgical textbook, is therefore among other things a summary of "what's new in surgical biology?" The answer is,

Pharyngeal Gonorrhea
Authors: Andrew W. Tice
Journal: JAMA (1981)

Cultures of genital sites and pharynx were obtained from 903 prostitutes and 102 active-duty men at Clark AFB, Republic of the Philippines, during the first quarter of 1981. Slightly more than 2.2% positive pharyngeal cultures in the women and 6% in the men were noted. Both penicillinsensitive and penicillinase-producing<i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i>(PPNG) were recovered. Treatment and follow-up of the pharyngeal infections were available only for the men seen at the Clark Public Health Clinic. These men responded to penicillin G procaine for penicillin-sensitive<i>N gonorrhoeae</i>and to spectinomycin hydrochloride for PPNG. A retrospective review of cases of male gonococcal urethritis seen in 1980 in the Clark Public Health Clinic revealed 46 cases of probable oral-to-genital transfer of<i>N gonorrhoeae</i>among more than 2,600 cases of gonococcal urethritis. Of these 46, fifteen were PPNG. The importance of the pharynx as a source of infection is thus substantiated. (<i>JAMA</i>1981;246:2717-2719)
Subjective Findings
Authors: William R. Halliday
Journal: JAMA (1976)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> The vigorous colloquy between Drs Morgan and Phelps regarding respiratory problems in coal miners casts at least a little light into hitherto black depths—certainly one of the most inflammable topics of recent years! I personally was consternated, however, to see so eminent a physician as Dr Morgan use the self-contradictory and time-dishonored phrase "subjective findings" (235:1325, 1976). This and its equally misleading partner "objective complaints" have spawned such tragic miscarriages of justice and embarrassing case law that, in my own state at least, they seem to be vanishing, quietly forgotten and unlamented. By definition, findings are either objective demonstrations of abnormality, or the objective lack of demonstrable signs of abnormality. Either situation may be consistent with subjective complaints, many of which are never verifiable objectively but are nonetheless valid. Similarly, complaints may be consistent with objective findings, or even confirmed thereby, but they remain subjective and
The Availability of Web Sites Offering to Sell Opioid Medications Without Prescriptions
Authors: Robert F Forman, George E Woody, Thomas McLellan, Kevin G Lynch
Journal: American Journal of Psychiatry (2006)

This study was designed to determine the availability of web sites offering to sell opioid medications without prescriptions.Forty-seven Internet searches were conducted with a variety of opioid medication terms, including "codeine," "no prescription Vicodin," and "OxyContin." Two independent raters examined the links generated in each search and resolved any coding disagreements. The resulting links were coded as "no prescription web sites" (NPWs) if they offered to sell opioid medications without prescriptions.In searches with terms such as "no prescription codeine" and "Vicodin," over 50% of the links obtained were coded as "NPWs." The proportion of links yielding NPWs was greater when the phrase "no prescription" was added to the opioid term. More than 300 opioid NPWs were identified and entered into a database.Three national drug-use monitoring studies have cited significant increases in prescription opioid use over the past 5 years, particularly among young people. The emergence of NPWs introduces a new vector for unregulated access to opioids. Research is needed to determine the effect of NPWs on prescription opioid use initiation, misuse, and dependence.

Exposure to Atmospheric Radon
Authors: Daniel J. Steck, R. William Field, Charles F. Lynch
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1999)

We measured radon (222Rn) concentrations in Iowa and Minnesota and found that unusually high annual average radon concentrations occur outdoors in portions of central North America. In some areas, outdoor concentrations exceed the national average indoor radon concentration. The general spatial patterns of outdoor radon and indoor radon are similar to the spatial distribution of radon progeny in the soil. Outdoor radon exposure in this region can be a substantial fraction of an individual's total radon exposure and is highly variable across the population. Estimated lifetime effective dose equivalents for the women participants in a radon-related lung cancer study varied by a factor of two at the median dose, 8 mSv, and ranged up to 60 mSv (6 rem). Failure to include these doses can reduce the statistical power of epidemiologic studies that examine the lung cancer risk associated with residential radon exposure.
Diagnostic Urology
Authors: D. A. Culp
Journal: JAMA (1964)

<h3>Advances in Diagnostic Urology.</h3> Edited by Joseph J. Kaufman. 294 pp, with illus. $12.50. Little, Brown &amp; Co., 34 Beacon St, Boston 6, 1964 Two recent books deal with the various tests helpful in diagnosing diseases of the genitourinary tract. In both, the material has been contributed by several authors, each of whom is an authority on the field which he covers. Such multiple authorship provides a wide range of opinion on the application of various diagnostic methods to medical problems. In these books the diagnostic and technical procedures are accurately, concisely, and clearly defined. The indications, contraindications, and complications most frequently encountered are presented. <i>Diagnostic Urology</i>, edited by Glenn, is more inclusive than the volume edited by Kaufman, for it contains a discussion of time-honored examinations and methods for estimating renal function, for excretory urography, cystourethrography, and retrograde pyelography, together with more recent developments of aortography, radioisotope renography, and

Fluorescence Imaging of Reactive Oxygen Metabolites Generated in Single Macrophage Cells (NR8383) upon Phagocytosis of Natural Zeolite (Erionite) Fibers
Authors: John F. Long, Prabir K. Dutta, Brian D. Hogg
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1997)

In this paper we address the phenomenon of reactive oxygen metabolite generation subsequent to phagocytosis of mineral fibers by macrophages. Natural erionite fibers were chosen because of their established toxicity. Macrophages (cell line NR8383) were loaded with the dye 5-(and 6)-carboxy-2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate and exposed to erionite particles by centrifuging cells and fibers together to effect adherence. Reactive oxygen metabolite generation was examined by monitoring the fluorescence of oxidized dye formed via the reaction with oxygen species produced during phagocytosis. Individual cells were repeatedly scanned for up to 2 hr to monitor the evolution of this fluorescence. It was found that erionite-exposed cells had a mean total fluorescence of three times that of controls during the first 35 min, declining to two times that of controls at 35-60 min and about the same level as that of controls at 60-80 min. Ultrastructural studies of similarly treated aliquots of cells showed marked variation in size and numbers of the phagocytized particles. This study demonstrates that intracellular oxidation can be monitored on a single cell basis over a period of time. Quantitative studies are in progress to establish the relationship between the phagocytized particulate load and the extent of fluorescence.
Massive hemolysis caused by acetaminophen. Positive determination by direct Coombs test
Authors: E. Manor
Journal: JAMA (1976)

ACETAMINOPHEN is a commonly prescribed antipyretic and nonnarcotic analgesic with only occasional serious side effects. Leukopenia and a maculopapular rash have been observed during routine use, and hepatotoxic reactions and renal failure have been noted after overdosage. We report a case of near fatal massive hemolysis (Coombs-positive) caused by acetaminophen at customarily used doses. <h3>Report of a Case</h3> A 37-year-old man was admitted to the Shmuel Harofe Hospital on June 4, 1975. The patient was acutely ill, with icterus and a slaty-blue cyanosis. He was shivering and had a temperature of 39.5 C. The spleen was palpable 2 cm below the left costal margin. The patient had been treated intermittently for two months with acetaminophen in dosages of up to three 0.5-gm tablets daily for backache, whereafter he experienced several incidents of shivering and the passage of dark urine, the severest occurring before admission. His hemoglobin level was 7.9 gm/100
Machine medicine and its relation to the fatally ill
Authors: H. P. Lewis
Journal: JAMA (1968)

The remarkable advance of medicine has brought immense benefits to man. At the same time it has created problems, strange and uncomfortable dimensions, in the spiritual, moral, ethical, and economic aspects of the care of the dying. We can restore life to some whose hearts have stopped. It is possible to resist the advance of certain fatal diseases for long periods. Malfunctioning organs are replaced with those that function, or devices are available to assist or take over their function. Drugs and mechanical devices can prolong the life of a dying person for long periods. Many live and are active after having literally been brought from the dead by our resuscitative skills. Others live comfortably with artificial heart valves or implanted cardiac pacemakers. The artificial kidney, immunosuppressive agents, steroids, and cancer chemotherapeutic drugs, and a host of other agents are important and relatively new means of prolonging life and avoiding
