Septic complications of war wounds
Authors: M. J. Tong
Journal: JAMA (1972)

Wound and blood cultures were obtained from 30 US marines with severe combat-inflicted extremity injuries. On admission to the hospital, the predominant organisms isolated from the wounds were gram-negative bacteria belonging to the Enterobacter and Mimeae groups,<i>Escherichia coli</i>, and<i>Klebsiella</i>. By the fifth hospital day, a significant increase in the number of wounds yielding<i>Pseudomonas</i>and<i>Proteus organisms</i>was noted. Twelve of 30 patients developed positive blood cultures. Enterobacter and Mimeae were most frequently cultured from the bloodstream. In eight instances, the same strain of gram-negative bacteria was isolated from the wounds and blood. Three patients died in gram-negative septicemia. Recommendations for initial antibiotic therapy in severely wounded patients in a combat area are presented.
Stress ulceration.
Authors: G. H. Jennings
Journal: BMJ (1968)

BRITISH 379 contacts as necessary the district nurses, welfare officers, almoners, health visitors, and hospital ward sisters-all at the behest of the doctor, whose real job is thereby both enlarged and made easier.As general practice develops the doctor can fulfil his role only by having efficient and tolerant secretarial help, a practice nurse, good district nurses and midwives, and an up-to-date health visitor.There seems no reason why the last three should not be run by the local authorities across practice boun- daries as at present, but the first two are personal as regards duties and hours and can only be employed by the general practitioner himself.In spite of political interference this mode of practice developing in Britain is probably many years ahead of any arrangements offered in Europe or the North American continent.It will be a great pity if excessive demands reduce a practice nurse to the role of a " feldsher," when, losing the confidence of the public, general practice as we know it today will disintegrate.-Iam, etc.,
Prognostic value of insulinlike growth factor I and its binding protein in patients with alcohol-induced liver disease
Authors: S Moller
Journal: Hepatology (1996)

Insulinlike growth factor I (IGF-I) is a single-polypeptide chain with important anabolic and endocrine activities. The liver is the major source of IGF-I and its binding protein, IGFBP-3. Circulating concentrations of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 are decreased in patients with chronic liver disease and correlate with the severity. The aim of this study was to assess the additional prognostic value of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 in patients entered in a large multicenter study (EMALD). Three hundred thirty-seven patients with alcohol-induced liver disease were studied in a randomized placebo-controlled trial of malotilate with a mean follow-up period of 569 days (range, 7-1,544). A multivariate Cox regression analysis of pertinent clinical and biochemical variables showed a significant independent prognostic value of years of alcohol intake, coagulation factors 2, 7, and 10, alkaline phosphatases, serum creatinine, and immunoglobulin (Ig) M. When IGF-I or IGFBP-3 were added into this model, a Cox regression analysis showed that either had a significant independent prognostic value. Because IGF-I and IGFBP-3 were closely correlated, they contained almost the same prognostic information. Inclusion of IGF-I gave these results: IGF-I (P < .03), alcohol intake (P < .02), coagulation factors 2, 7, and 10 (P < .01), creatinine (P < .001), and IgM (P < .01) contained independent prognostic information. Inclusion of IGFBP-3 gave these results: IGFBP-3 (P < .02), alcohol intake (P < .05), coagulation factors 2, 7, 10 (P < .01), creatinine (P < .001), and IgM (P < .02) were independent predictors of survival. In conclusion, IGF-I or IGFBP-3 provide important additional information on survival in patients with alcohol-induced liver disease.
Chemical Factors in Asthma
Authors: John G. Wiswell, Francis M. Rackemann
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (1947)

Blood SugarNumerous investigators have thought that there might be a disturbance in the metabolism of sugar in patients suffering from asthma and allergic conditions. In 1924 Ramirez, St. George and Moses43 examined the levels of the blood sugar in 40 patients, 28 of whom had asthma and hay fever. Determinations were made before and after treatment, but they revealed no uniform differences in the levels of the blood sugar at these two periods.In 1929 Malone44 found the average fasting level of blood sugar to be 75.4 mg. per 100 cc. in 15 patients with allergic asthma associated with . . .
WHY GENERAL PRACTITIONERS SEND CASES TO THE HOSPITAL.
Authors: S. S. TOWLER
Journal: JAMA (1894)

I have adopted the above title simply because I could find no other for this brief paper, and yet it does not express all I want to get at. In an excellent article in the Journal of January 27, Dr. Keister says that, "in nine cases out of ten, it is sheer stinginess on the part of the physician, that he is not properly equipped with instruments. This poin t, and one other, are the only exceptions—that I see— to take to that practical paper. The "one other" is this: "Conservative surgery is yielding better results every day, and I believe the time is not far distant, when women's ovaries will be let as severely alone by the abdominal surgeon as the Holy Bible." All I want to suggest on that point is that perhaps if "the abdominal surgeon did<i>not</i>let the Holy Bible," so "<i>severely alone</i>," he might

Systematic review of antistaphylococcal antibiotic therapy in cystic fibrosis
Authors: A. SMYTH
Journal: Thorax (2000)

The spectrum of nitrofurantoin lung injury continues to widen.The case histories are presented of two patients who developed lung disease associated with the use of nitrofurantoin with histological features of bronchiolitis obliterans organising pneumonia (BOOP), a rare but recognised form of drug induced injury.The two middle aged women presented with respiratory symptoms after prolonged treatment with nitrofurantoin.Both had impaired lung function and abnormal computed tomographic scans, and their condition improved when nitrofurantoin was withdrawn and corticosteroid treatment commenced.The favourable outcome in these two patients contrasts with the fatal outcome of the two other reported cases of nitrofurantoin induced BOOP.We suggest that the previous classification of nitrofurantoin induced lung injury into "acute" and "chronic" injury is an oversimplification in view of the wide variety of pathological entities that have subsequently emerged.
Space station, shuttle offer new medical possibilities
Authors: P. Gunby
Journal: JAMA (1984)

While space adaptation syndrome is being studied, two more "firsts"—one with implications for medicine—are scheduled in space next month. At the same time, planning is under way for yet another first. It's a permanent space station, announced earlier this year and expected to be in orbit about 400 km (250 miles) above the earth within ten years. In a matter of days, not years, however,<i>Discovery</i>, the newest of the space shuttle vehicles, is scheduled to make its first flight. That June 21 launch will be a first, and so is the plan for mission-long production of a so-far-undisclosed biologic material. Two companies are collaborating on this bioprocessing in space, using continuous flow electrophoresis. Continuous flow electrophoresis in space separates whatever product is desired from a flow of the sample or culture material through use of an electric field. In the weightlessness of space, a much more concentrated solution can

Asbestos in Drinking Water: A Canadian View
Authors: P. Toft, M. E. Meek
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1983)

For several years now, public health professionals have been faced with evaluating the potential hazards associated with the ingestion of asbestos in food and drinking water. In Canada, this is a subject of particular concern, because of the widespread occurrence of chrysotile asbestos in drinking water supplies. The results of available Canadian monitoring and epidemiologic studies of asbestos in drinking water are reviewed and discussed in light of other published work. It is concluded that the risk to health associated with the ingestion of asbestos, at the levels found in municipal drinking water supplies, is so small that it cannot be detected by currently available epidemiologic techniques.

Turn-of-century high school class may turn tide against tobacco use
Authors: M. B. Jarvis
Journal: JAMA (1988)

MEMBERS of the high school graduating class of the year 2000 haven't even started first grade, but their graduation theme may already have been picked out. If all goes as planned, this year's first graders will become the Smoke-Free Class, ambassadors of the "smokeless society" envisioned for the 21st century by the American Medical Association and the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service, C. Everett Koop, MD. Those high school graduation festivities in the year 2000 will culminate a proposed 12-year education program designed by the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, and the American Lung Association, which have headquarters in Atlanta, Dallas, and New York City, respectively. The three agencies, which have been increasing their cooperation to combat tobacco use, have formed a coalition that will try to include at least one third of the country's 3 million first graders in the Smoke-Free Class of 2000 program,

Staphylococcus aureus among insulin-injecting diabetic patients. An increased carrier rate
Authors: C. U. Tuazon
Journal: JAMA (1975)

IN EARLIER studies, we attempted to define the source of the organism causing staphylococcal endocarditis in drug abusers who used the needle. Street heroin and injection paraphernalia were not implicated.<sup>1</sup>We then found a 300% increase in the carrier rate of<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>among those who had recently used drugs parenterally, compared to a control population who had not. Users who had not injected any drug for two weeks or more had the same carrier rate as the control group.<sup>2</sup>The reason for the increased carrier rate in recent drug users was not apparent, although we suspected that it might have been related to the effect of drugs on resistance to the<i>Staphylococcus</i>or on such epidemiologic factors as poor hygiene or frequent needle use. To examine the possibility that epidemiologic factors were involved, we have examined members of another group of patients who inject themselves regularly with
