Analysis of Manure-Table Showeing the Relative Value of each Species-Particular Notice of Cer- tain kinds of Manure.GENTLEMEN,-In my last lecture I explained to you the manner in which you should conduct the analysis of any particular animal substance, and espe.cially of a manure, and I pointed out how you were to determine the exact quantity of nitrogen contained in it; but I then alluded to the elementary composition of the material, and founded my remarks on the sup.position that it was necessary to ascertain the exact proportions of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.This explains why I recommended you to employ a tube for the chloride of calcium, and the combustion tube of Liebig.However, as our chief object is to ascertain simply the quantity of nitrogen contained in any manure, we may dispense with these instruments and follow the following method of analysis:-You take a strong glass tube and close it, by heat, at one end; the next step is to dry it, and this may be done by rinsing the tube with a small quantity of warm deutoxide of copper; when any moisture which may be contained in the tube is thus removed, you introduce a small quantity of the bicarbonate of soda; in addition to this you add a layer of deutoxide of copper, and then about six grains of the manure, well dried and mixed with a little deutoxide of copper.Above this mixture you place some copper shavings, perfectly free from oxide, then a fresh layer of oxide of copper, and lastly, you fill the tube with metallic copper.This done, the tube is surrounded with copper leaf, supported by twisting iron wire round it, taking care to leave the part of the tube which con-

Update: Dracunculiasis Eradication— Ghana and Nigeria, 1994
Journal: JAMA (1995)

Dracunculiasis (guinea worm disease) is a disabling infection that each year affects an estimated 5 million persons in 17 African countries and parts of India and Pakistan. This disease is contracted only by persons who drink water contaminated by tiny copepods containing larval stages of the parasite Dracunculus medinensis. The infection can be prevented by providing safe sources of drinking water, teaching populations at risk to boil water or filter it through a fine cloth, or treating the water with temephos (Abate*). Efforts to eradicate dracunculiasis began in 1981, immediately before the start of the International Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Decade. This report summarizes the progress of guinea worm eradication programs (GWEPs) in Ghana and Nigeria.
Abstract 56: Ventilation Is Necessary During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation In A Rat Model Of Cardiac Arrest Induced By Airway Obstruction
Authors: Akihide Kurita, Takumi Taniguchi, Ken Yamamoto
Journal: Circulation (2007)

Recent studies have showed that hypoventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) improved the rates of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and prognosis. However, there are few studies about the ventilation strategies during CPR in cardiac arrest caused by airway obstruction. To compare the effects of the three ventilation strategies during CPR in an animal model of cardiac arrest induced by airway obstruction, we investigated the rates of ROSC, survival rates, plasma cytokine levels, and lactate levels. thirty-six male Sprague Dawley rats were anesthetized with intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital. Cardiac arrest was induced by airway obstruction. After 3 minutes of cardiac arrest, animals were randomized to receive one of the three ventilation strategies during CPR (n = 12 per group): normoventiraion (28 breaths/min), hypoventilation (14 breaths/min), or no-ventilation. The rates of chest compression (CC) was 240 –260 compressions/min and the depth of CC adjusted to maintain mean arterial pressure more than 25 mmHg in all groups. After 5 minutes of CPR, epinephrine (0.02 mg/kg) was administered, and all rats were ventilated at the rates of 28 breaths/min in FiO2 1.0. The rates of ROSC were 83%, 58%, 0% for the normoventilation, hypoventilation, and no-ventilation groups, respectively. The PaCO2 levels immediately after ROSC were 74mmHg and 88 mmHg for the normoventilation, and hypoventilation groups, respectively. The increases of plasma cytokine (TNF-a, and IL-6) levels and lactate levels after ROSC in the normoventilation group were significantly less than those in the hypoventilation group. The present study showed that normoventilation during CPR improved the rates of ROSC and the survival rates after ROSC in the animal cardiac arrest model induced by airway obstruction. Moreover, normoventilation attenuated the elevation of cytokine and lactate responses. These findings suggest that ventilation may be necessary during CPR in cardiac arrest caused by airway obstruction.
Multistate Outbreak of Norovirus Gastroenteritis Among Attendees at a Family Reunion—Grant County, West Virginia, October 2006
Journal: JAMA (2007)

On October 17, 2006, the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (WVDHHR) was notified of an outbreak of acute gastroenteritis, characterized by vomiting and diarrhea, among attendees at a family reunion. The outbreak initially was reported by a group of attendees to their local health department in Garrett County, Maryland. The same day, the information was relayed to the Grant County Health Department in West Virginia and subsequently to WVDHHR. The reunion was held on October 14 at a private residence in Grant County, West Virginia, and the 53 identified attendees included residents from Florida, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. This report describes a collaborative, multijurisdictional epidemiologic investigation using a cohort study and laboratory analyses to determine the source of infection and appropriate control measures. The results indicated that a combination of person-to-person and foodborne transmission of two strains of norovirus, likely introduced by persons from two different states and subsequently at least two food items, was the probable cause of these illnesses, highlighting the challenge of investigating and controlling norovirus outbreaks. During periods of peak norovirus activity, public health officials should emphasize the importance of appropriate handwashing and the exclusion of ill persons from social gatherings.
Blood-letting.
Authors: H. W. Carpenter
Journal: JAMA (1897)

Oneida, New York, Sept. 19, 1897, <h3>To the Editor:</h3> —I wish to add my mite and endorse every word in regard to blood-letting by Dr. Todd of San Francisco. In a practice of forty years I have invariably resorted to venesection in all cases of puerperal convulsions and have been fortunate in never losing a patient, and I have had my ratio of cases. Out of nearly two thousand in number, my rule is to bleed at once and repeat if necessary, which has very seldom been the case. I also bleed in cases of pneumonia and la grippe, especially where the attack is severe, in young and robust patients, and the result has been immediate relief and usually rapid recovery. Not long since I was called in consultation with a young physician; the patient was a robust full-blooded man aged 43 years, who had been sick about a week

On Intrauterine Fractures: With an Illustrative Case
Authors: T. H. Barker
Journal: BMJ (1857)

CAUSE OF INTnRAUTERINE FRACTURES.It will have been re- marked, that ill the majority of the cases described in the preceding part of this paper, the fractured condition of the fcetal bones was attributed to some kind of injury inflicted on the abdomen of the mother in the latter months of pregnancy.This observation, while it deserves to be remembered, does not claim such serious consideration as a cause of the accident to the child, as might at first sight be supposed.When, as practitioners of midwifery, we recall the many instances in which labour occurs after such accidents; when we consider what an enormous and often irregular pressure is exerted on the festal bones with impunity during even natural labour; and when we further recollect the almost incredible force that may sometimes be employed in unnatural labour, without injury to the osseous framework of the infant, we must in a measure exclude the idea of fracture while the child is enclosed in the uterus and surrounded by the amniotic fluid.Yet that a blow on the abdomen may affect the child, has been argued for, on the ground that wounds of the skin of the fietus have been met with, resulting apparently from a fall on the abdomen by the mother during the last weeks of pregnancy.In Dr. IRichlardson's MS.Fothergillian Essay, already referred to, there is the history of a case reported to the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society by Mlr.Jones.The labour in this instance was easy: the pelvis was large.The mother had fallen down a iew weeks before delivery.On the back of the fcetus there existed an extensive wound, reaching from the third dorsal vertebra, across the scapula, and along the back of the humerus, to within an inch of the elbow.Part of this wound was cicatrised; the other half was granulating.Here the occurrence of the wound, antecedently to the birth of the child, was fully demonstrated; and its connexion with the fall, to which the mother had been subjected, was thus rendered probable.Dr. R. U. IW'est, of Alford, in writing to me on this subject, says lie cannot at all see how the bones of the fmetus can be fractured before birth by a fall of the mother.I confess my- self to the same difficulty.Whatever force should convey to the foetus such a blow as would fracture its bones, must be conveyed through the uterus itself, and should consequently injure that organ primarily; yet, in the cases described, we have the most marked absence of all evidence which would indicate any uterine injury whatever.It seems feasible, how- ever, that in some few cases the fractures occurred after extreme violence to the mother.The cases recorded by Dr. Montgomery, and before referred to, appear to have been of this kind.

Physician workforce projections: too many or just right?
Authors: R. M. Politzer
Journal: JAMA (1996)

<h3>To the Editor.</h3> —Dr Cooper<sup>1</sup>implements a set of assumptions that produce a near balance between future supply and requirements for physicians. This conclusion is held by a minority of analysts.<sup>2</sup>Nonetheless, his analysis offers provocative argument for reexamining projections. Although several assumptions are debatable, we focus on Cooper's population projections, productivity adjustments, and analysis of nonphysician clinicians (NPCs). Cooper asserts that the US Bureau of the Census' midlevel population projections are too low, using instead a series between the Bureau of the Census' middle and high estimates. This assertion contradicts the Bureau of the Census' most recent data, which show that growth in 1994 and 1995 actually fell 9% below its mid-level 1993 projection (G. Spencer, PhD, Bureau of the Census, written communication, November 30, 1995). By choosing a higher figure, Cooper succeeds in lowering the physician population ratio by 13 per 100 000 in 2020, erasing

<i>QuickStats</i>: Percentage of U.S. Women Aged 21–65 Years Who Never Had a Papanicolaou Test (Pap Test),* by Place of Birth and Length of Residence in the United States† — National Health Interview Survey, 2013 and 2015§
Journal: MMWR Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (2017)

In 2013 and 2015 combined, 6.8% of U.S. women aged 21-65 years had never received a Pap test in their lifetime. Foreign-born women were more than twice as likely as U.S. born women to have never received a Pap test (13.4% versus 5.2%). Foreign-born women who lived in the United States for <25% of their lifetime were almost twice as likely as those who resided in the United States for ≥25% of their lifetime (21.5% versus 10.9%) to have never received a Pap test.

Journal: Journal of Clinical Oncology (2012)

3 Background: This multicenter, randomized, phase III study compared B-R and CHOP-R as first-line treatment in indolent lymphoma and MCL and was presented at ASH 2009 including a comprehensive safety analysis. Here we present an updated analysis with a cut-off date for 31 Oct 2011. Methods: 549 patients (pts) with indolent or MCL were randomized to receive B-R or CHOP-R for a max of 6 cycles. The primary endpoint was PFS. Results: 514 pts randomized pts were evaluable (261 B-R; 253 CHOP-R). Patient characteristics were well balanced between arms; median age was 64 years. At a median follow-up of 45 months, PFS was significantly prolonged with B-R compared with CHOP-R (HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.44–0.74; P&lt;0.001). Median PFS was 69.5 versus 31.2 months, respectively. The PFS benefit with B-R was maintained in all histological subtypes except marginal zone lymphoma. The PFS benefit with B-R was independent of age; HR 0.52 (P=0.002) in pts ≤60 years (n=199), and HR 0.62 (P=0.002) in pts &gt;60 years (n=315). In pts with normal LDH (62%), PFS was significantly prolonged with B-R compared with CHOP-R (P&lt;0.001), while in the elevated LDH group (38%) PFS was numerically, but not significantly increased with B-R compared with CHOP-R (P=0.118). In patients with follicular lymphoma, FLIPI subgroups defined by 0–2 factors (favorable) and 3–5 factors (unfavorable) had a longer PFS with B-R than with CHOP-R (P=0.043 and P=0.068 for the favorable and unfavorable FLIPI subgroups, respectively). Seventy four salvage treatments had been initiated in the B-R group; compared with 116 in the CHOP-R group, of those in the CHOP-R group 52 pts received B-R as salvage regimen. Overall survival did not differ between the treatment arms, with 43 and 45 deaths in the B-R and CHOP-R arms, respectively. Twenty secondary malignancies were observed in the B-R group compared with 23 in the CHOP-R group, with 1 hematological malignancy in each group (1 MDS in B-R, 1 AML in CHOP-R). Conclusions: In patients with previously untreated indolent lymphoma, and elderly patients with MCL, B-R demonstrates a PFS benefit and improved tolerability compared with CHOP-R.
Anti-Pseudomonas aeruginosa antibody detection in patients with bronchiectasis without cystic fibrosis
Authors: E Caballero, M-E Drobnic, M-T Pérez, J-M Manresa, A Ferrer, R Orriols
Journal: Thorax (2001)

BACKGROUND Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a frequent cause of infection in patients with bronchiectasis. Differentiation between non-infected patients and those with different degrees of P aeruginosa infection could influence the management and prognosis of these patients. The diagnostic usefulness of serum IgG antibodies against P aeruginosa outer membrane proteins was determined in patients with bronchiectasis without cystic fibrosis. METHODS Fifty six patients were classified according to sputum culture into three groups: group A (n=18) with no P aeruginosa in any sample; group B (n=18) with P aeruginosa alternating with other microorganisms; and group C (n=20) with P aeruginosa in all sputum samples. Each patient had at least three sputum cultures in the 6 months prior to serum collection. Detection of antibodies was performed by Western blot and their presence against 20 protein bands (10–121 kd) was assessed. RESULTS Antibodies to more than four bands in total or to five individual bands (36, 26, 22, 20 or 18 kd) differentiated group B from group A, while antibodies to a total of more than eight bands or to 10 individual bands (104, 69, 63, 56, 50, 44, 30, 25, 22, 13 kd) differentiated group C from group B. When discordant results between the total number of bands and the frequency of P aeruginosa isolation were obtained, the follow up of patients suggested that the former, in most cases, predicted chronic P aeruginosa colonisation. CONCLUSION In patients with bronchiectasis the degree of P aeruginosa infection can be determined by the number and type of outer membrane protein bands indicating which serum antibodies are present.
