Reproductive Mortality and Oral Contraceptives
Authors: Irvin Cushner
Journal: JAMA (1983)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> The article by Sachs et al entitled "Reproductive Mortality in the United States," which appeared inThe Journal(1982;247:2789) could be misleading to a reader on a few important points. For example, the article implied that the number of reproductive deaths would be reduced by almost half if women stopped using oral contraceptives. This assumes that no woman who stopped using the pill would die of any pregnancy-related cause. In fact, some women would get pregnant because they used a less effective contraceptive method, and some of these women would die of some disease related to pregnancy. In addition, there are reliable epidemiologic data that suggest that the pill<i>protects</i>women against such serious diseases as ovarian and endometrial cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, and ectopic pregnancy. Some women who stopped taking the pill would die of these causes. The article noted that 45% of reproductive deaths in

Hospice Medicine
Authors: Zail S. Berry
Journal: JAMA (1993)

Hospice is a mode of care designed to support the physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs of people at the end of life, with the goal of allowing the dying process to unfold with a minimum of discomfort and the maintenance of dignity and quality of life. Care is provided by family and friends at home or in a homelike setting within a hospital, nursing home, or special hospice care facility. The hospice team, including nurses, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers, as well as physicians, seeks to address the needs of family members in addition to those of the patient. Hospice care is appropriate when traditional medical care, so often focused on length of life, is no longer the best way to serve the patient's interests. This may be when medical therapies no longer offer benefit to the patient or when the benefits offered are outweighed by accompanying burdens. At a
Treatment of causalgia
Authors: R. J. Defalque
Journal: JAMA (1969)

We present here a case of causalgia which has intrigued us by its bizarre course and long duration and has taught us a lesson that we want to share. The patient was a 74-year-old veteran; in 1918 he had been hit near the left elbow by shrapnel which had slightly damaged bones, muscles, and the median nerve, and severed his ulnar nerve. The latter nerve was successfully grafted four months later. In spite of some deformity and limitation of movement, the left arm regained good function, and the patient led an active life as a farmer. A few weeks after surgery, a throbbing, burning pain of the whole left upper extremity, especially along the ulnar side, developed. The patient sought no help, kept on working, and over the years the pain eventually subsided. It suddenly recurred in 1956, and rapidly progressed to the point where it kept the patient awake
Mothers of infants with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Evidence for both symptomatic and asymptomatic carriers
Authors: G. B. Scott
Journal: JAMA (1985)

Sixteen mothers of 22 infants with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS-related complex were followed up for evidence of clinical and immunologic abnormalities. With one exception, all mothers were clinically well at delivery but had evidence of immune dysfunction, with T-cell abnormalities and inverted T4/T8 ratios and/or elevation of serum immunoglobulin levels, particularly of IgG. During a follow-up period that averaged 30 months, AIDS developed in five of the mothers and AIDS-related complex in seven. Twelve subsequent pregnancies in 11 mothers produced four affected infants, suggesting that mothers can be persistently infected. Six mothers were delivered of subsequent infants who remain unaffected. These results suggest that the mothers are the likely source of infection in non—transfusion-associated cases of AIDS or AIDS-related complex in infants, that mothers have persistent immunologic abnormalities, and that they are at increased risk of developing AIDS or AIDS-related complex.

The impact of AIDS on the medical care system
Authors: D. J. Cotton
Journal: JAMA (1988)

IN THIS eighth year of the war against acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), the front lines in the United States are surely the hospitals of our major cities. It is to these institutions that the afflicted come, whatever their risk group, and in increasing numbers. Gay and bisexual men bring with them a history of discrimination and fear. Drug users reveal an entire family at risk. The worried well crowd our clinics to be tested for infection a second, third, or fourth time. People come in hope of being given the latest experimental drug protocol, and people come to die because they have no family or friends to provide their care. It has been estimated by the Centers for Disease Control that 270 000 cumulative cases of AIDS will occur in the United States by 1991.<sup>1</sup>The task of assimilating this enormous burden of disease into existing health care structures
Influence of Mineral Dusts on Metabolism of Arachidonic Acid by Alveolar Macrophage
Authors: Laurence M. Demers, Douglas C. Kuhn
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1994)

The alveolar macrophage (AM) responds to stimuli such as coal mine dust by releasing inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, growth factors, reactive oxygen species, and eicosanoids.Eicosanoids are synthesized by AM through the action of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes and serve to modulate the proinflammatory function of this cell as part of the lungs' host defense mechanism.Reactive oxygen species can be gener- ated by AM as a by-product in the biosynthetic pathway of the prostaglandins.AM produces primarily prostaglandin E2, thromboxane A2, and leukotriene B4 as part of the cellular response to an inflammatory stimulus.There is evidence to suggest that eicosanoid production by AM is func- tionally linked to both surface interaction with mine dust particles like silica and by the phagocytosis of the dust particle itself.In this report, we examined the effects of an antioxidant, vitamin E, on dust-induced synthesis of PGE2 and TXB2 in vitro and in vivo by AM obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage from rats.We also looked at the effects of the surface of silica particles on AM eicosanoid biosynthesis under conditions of calcination, a process that removes exposed hydroxyl groups from the surface of silica particles, thus reducing the likelihood of soluble hydroxyl radical formation.Treatment of AM with vitamin E in vivo and in vitro reduced the augmentation in eicosanoid production usually observed when AM are exposed to mine dusts.These results suggest that vitamin E may effectively reduce the inflammatory and fibrotic response produced by inhalation of mineral dust through an antioxidant mechanism.Silica that has been chemically altered by calcination was unable to activate AM eicosanoid production in vitro when compared to untreated, freshly fractured silica.These findings suggest that the mechanism by which dust particles can activate AM eicosanoid release may involve interaction of surface and/or soluble factors with the cell membrane.Taken together, these studies point to the involvement of AM eicosanoid production as part of the proinflammatory response of this cell to occupational inhalation of mineral dust.-
How many people have bullous pemphigoid in England?
Journal: British Journal of Dermatology (2021)

Bullous pemphigoid is a distressing disease that causes blisters and itching of the skin. Our study, from England, aimed to find out how many people get bullous pemphigoid for the first time each year (incidence), how many people are living with bullous pemphigoid at any given point (prevalence), and whether people with bullous pemphigoid are more likely to die than similar people without the disease (mortality).
Extrapolation from Incomplete Data to Total or Lifetime Risks at Low Doses
Authors: Marvin A. Schneiderman
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1981)

Both epidemiology and laboratory data can contribute to estimates of risks to humans of exposure to low doses of carcinogens. The sum of all these contributions does not permit us to make these estimates with certainty. In chronic disease epidemiology, in looking for possible excessive cancer risks, we sometimes fail to have an adequately long observation time or to observe a population sufficiently aged for cancers to appear in meaningful numbers. In studies of most human exposures, dose data are often lacking, beyond a vague "yes-no" or "lots, not much, hardly any." Thus, without a knowledge of what dose produced an observed result it becomes logically impossible to know what result some other (presumed) dose might yield. Animal data show some promise of being useful in extrapolating to low doses in man. However, several problems exist: (a) man is not a tailless, two-legged mouse, or featherless chicken--that is, we do not know if man is more or less sensitive than the laboratory animal; (b) the mathematical model used for extrapolation leads to large differences in estimates of response; (c) man is genetically heterogeneous and is usually exposed to many more hazards than is the laboratory animal. Thus, existing data, even from well-done studies, are inadequate if we want to make extrapolations in any detail or to apply to specific subgroups in the population. Any risk estimation we do may have to be stated in terms that point out the wide ranges of the estimates.

The sclerotic vertebral body
Authors: D. Resnick
Journal: JAMA (1983)

A VARIETY of disorders can produce increased radiodensity, or sclerosis, of one or more vertebral bodies. Such sclerosis can involve (1) the entire vertebral body in a uniform fashion, (2) the superior or inferior surface, or both, (3) the vertebral margins, or (4) the interior of the bone. In each instance, the resulting radiological image is distinctive and frequently allows a precise diagnosis to be offered. This communication emphasizes the radiological and gross pathological features of common disorders leading to sclerosis of the vertebral body. <h3>Uniform Sclerosis of Vertebral Body: The 'Ivory' Vertebra</h3> Uniformly distributed sclerosis of an entire vertebral body is termed the "ivory" vertebra<sup>1</sup>(Fig 1). The increase in radiodensity is commonly dramatic and may involve a single vertebral body or multiple vertebral bodies. In some instances, the adjacent posterior elements of the vertebra, including the pedicles, laminae, and transverse and spinous processes, are also affected. The
Addressing homosexuals' mental health problems
Authors: C. A. Raymond
Journal: JAMA (1988)

"IF YOU'RE LOOKING at somebody's gallbladder, it's not going to be a lot different if it's a lesbian gallbladder," notes a lesbian psychologist. However, when it comes to mental health, lesbians and gays appear to have some unique problems arising from the emotional toll of secrecy, disapproval, and, often, internalized shame, says the same psychologist. In light of these problems, research and rehabilitation efforts are being targeted to this population. The stresses of being gay in a predominantly straight society may at least in part account for the alcoholism and other substance abuse estimated to occur in 35% to 40% of homosexual persons, according to informal discussions among the nearly 80 participants at a Minneapolis meeting of the Women's Issues Committee of the American Association of Physicians for Human Rights. Formal data from the National Lesbian Health Care Survey give a clearer picture of the extent of mental health problems
