Early diagnosis of cervical spinal cord meningioma
Authors: L. H. Rosenbaum
Journal: JAMA (1983)

TUMORS of the foramen magnum and the upper part of the cervical spinal cord are often initially seen with confusing clinical syndromes that are frequently ascribed to a conversion hysteria or fibromyositis. In a major review of such tumors, Dodge et al<sup>1</sup>stated, "Unless the physician obtains an accurate history and attributes sufficient significance to the patient's often bizarre and at times seemingly functional complaints, he is likely to deny the patient his ultimate opportunity for cure." Despite this warning, it seems that scant attention has been given to the role of the patient's history in the early diagnosis of such tumors, and diagnostic studies are only undertaken when signs of spinal cord compression are apparent. The following case report describes a patient in whom the history of recumbent neck pain and electromyographic abnormalities suggested the diagnosis of a meningioma in the upper part of the cervical spinal cord
Apes ape!
Authors: Deborah Custance
Journal: Behavioral and Brain Sciences (1998)

Heyes's claim that the only unequivocal evidence of motor imitation comes from rats and budgerigars is contested. It is suggested that the rats' behavior can be explained by emulation and the budgerigars' by response facilitation. Behavioral matching in chimpanzees (Custance et al. 1995; Whiten et al. 1996) is reconsidered and interpreted in terms of imitation.
Tuberculosis Among Pregnant Women— New York City, 1985-1992
Journal: JAMA (1993)

From 1985 through 1992, the number of reported tuberculosis (TB) cases increased 20% in the United States (1). During 1985-1990, TB cases increased 44% among persons aged 25-44 years and 27% among children (aged < 15 years) (2), indicating that TB may be an increasing problem among reproductive-aged women (3,4). To determine the prevalence of active TB during pregnancy, the medical records from 1985 through 1992 of two public hospitals in New York City were reviewed. This report summarizes the results of the survey.
Satisfactions, dissatisfactions, and causes of stress in medical practice
Authors: B. H. Mawardi
Journal: JAMA (1979)

Careers of physicians who graduated from Case Western Reserve School of Medicine have been examined in several longitudinal career studies. Physicians have been interviewed in their own offices, have filled out short-answer questionnaires, and have taken four tests. Emphasis has been placed on factors that have made their medical careers particularly satisfying or dissatisfying. Physicians report many satisfactions that evolve around helping patients, solving problems, and developing relationships with patients and their families. A major dissatisfaction relates to time pressures. In the current interviews with graduates, several sources of stress (malpractice suits, having to give up certain aspects of medical work, threats of physical harm, and certain features of peer review) are being expressed that were infrequently mentioned in previous studies.

Register of Events in Rheumatology: 1980-1
Journal: Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases (1980)

Book reviews followed by chapters on the examination of individual joints, including the cricoarytenoid joint.At the beginning of each chapter there is a valuable section on essential anatomy followed by sections on inspection, palpation, movement and range of motion, muscle testing, and finally any special tests, The British reader might have wished for a wider discussion on the assessment of disease activity and spinal movement and there is no mention of the Richie index.This book should be read by all rheuma- tologists in training and it should be available for reference in every department.1.

Effect of postoperative complications on adjuvant chemotherapy use in stage III colon cancer.
Authors: Ryan P. Merkow, David J Bentrem, Warren B. Chow, Mark E Cohen, Clifford Y. Ko, Karl Y. Bilimoria
Journal: Journal of Clinical Oncology (2012)

551 Background: The National Quality Forum has endorsed the use of adjuvant chemotherapy in stage III colon cancer yet a substantial treatment gap exists in the United States. Our objective was to evaluate the contribution of postoperative complications on the use of adjuvant therapy after colectomy for cancer. Methods: Patients from the ACS NSQIP and the NCDB who underwent colon resection for cancer were linked (2006-2008) to create a novel dataset containing robust information on comorbidities, complications, and oncologic variables. The association of complications on adjuvant chemotherapy use was assessed using multivariable regression models. Results: From 140 hospitals, 2414 patients underwent resection for stage III colon adenocarcinoma (open colectomy: 64%, laparoscopic colectomy: 36%). Overall, 896 (37.1%) patients were not treated with adjuvant therapy, of which 116 (12.9%) had documented severe comorbidities or advanced age as the reason for no adjuvant therapy receipt. Of the remaining 780 patients, 202 (25.9%) had a potential complication that could account for not receiving adjuvant therapy: 33 perioperative deaths and 169 patients with ≥1 serious complications including organ space infection (n=32), wound dehiscence (n=12), respiratory failure (n=48), pneumonia (n=45), renal failure (n=22) and septic shock (n=38). The remaining 611 patients did not have a documented reason for not receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. Complications independently associated with decreased adjuvant therapy use were renal failure (OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.0-0.59), respiratory failure (OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.11-0.51) and pneumonia (OR 0.36, 95% CI 0.18-0.75). Organ space infection was not associated with decreased use of adjuvant therapy, but significantly increased time to treatment (69 vs. 45 days, P&lt;0.05). Superficial SSI did not decrease adjuvant therapy use or delay treatment. Conclusions: Serious postoperative complications explained one quarter of the adjuvant chemotherapy treatment gap among stage III colon cancer patients and should be considered in quality assessment of colon cancer care. Judging provider performance on quality metrics is challenging without clinical data.
Scabies
Authors: Joseph A. Witkowski
Journal: JAMA (1984)

ANECDOTAL reports have been circulating that the usefulness of lindane in the treatment of scabies has been waning. A patient with scabies was said to have mites resistant to lindane when in fact only crotamiton had been used. Resistance of<i>Sarcoptes scabiei</i>to this agent is known to exist,<sup>1</sup>although in vivo or in vitro resistance to lindane has not been reported. We recently saw a patient with scabies whose condition was thought initially to be resistant to lindane until the mites were discovered in the subungual spaces. <h3>Report of a Case</h3> A 72-year-old woman was hospitalized for rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, dehydration, iron-deficiency anemia, reflux esophagitis, and severe pruritus. She was being treated with acetominophen, cimetidine, desipramine hydrochloride, diphenhydramine hydrochloride, ferrous sulfate, propoxyphene napsylate, and a diabetic diet. The pruritus had been present for six months; although she was conscious of it throughout the day, it was most

Regional distribution of general practitioners and consultants in the National Health Service.
Authors: J. M. Last
Journal: BMJ (1967)

This study, one of a series on aspects of medical manpower, deployment, and recruitment, was designed to discover the extent to which individual medical schools in Britain supply the administrative regions of England and Wales with doctors.My objective was to test two hypotheses: firstly, that doctors settle near the place where they lived in their youth rather than near the medical school they attended, if home and medical school were in different regions; and secondly, that consultants are less likely than general practitioners to settle in the region where they lived in their youth, opportunity to pursue a specialist career being for them a higher priority than choice of a place to live. MethodsI sent a postal questionary (see Appendix) to a 10% probability sample of general practitioners and consultants in England and Wales (a separate investigation is required in Scotland, where the supply-demand relation is quite different).The universe for the sample consisted of lists of doctors main- tained by the Ministry of Health, current at 30 September 1965.The sample was drawn by officers in the Statistical Branch of the Ministry of Health, London, for whose technical assistance I am grateful.Information on the situation of permanent or family home during attendance at medical school, supplied in response to the questionary, was categorized into the Registrar General's standard regions for analysis.These divisions are coarse but suffice to show the principal regional variations in patterns of settlement.When respondents indi- cated that their permanent home changed from one region to aiother during their medical education, the region closest to their present address was coded for analysis.Since only 3 % of respondents moved in this way, only a negligible bias was Irltroduced.After a pilot study in March 1966, questionaries were posted ins July 1966, and reminder letters (with a copy of the ques- tionary) in September 1966.Data were coded and punched on 80-column cards for analysis. ResultsThe initial mailing produced an approximately 80 % response from both general practitioners and consultants.
Long-Term Observations on Tubular and Glomerular Function in Cadmium-Exposed Persons
Authors: Magnus Piscator
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1984)

Four groups of cadmium-exposed persons, from different workplaces and with different types of exposure, have been followed for periods of 9-20 years. In one group the total observation time is over 30 years, since they were included in Friberg's original study. The studies include determination of inulin or creatinine clearance, protein excretion and specific indicators of renal tubular dysfunction. The results indicate that once tubular dysfunction is established, it is irreversible, even when it is minor. In some persons it was noted that the development of renal dysfunction seemed to be a multistage process. The initial stage is characterized by an increased excretion of low molecular weight proteins like beta 2-microglobulin and ribonuclease. After a period of several years with no or low exposure, there was a relatively sharp increase in excretion of total proteins and albumin and a decrease in glomerular filtration rate. This is interpreted as being the result of further increases in renal concentration of cadmium and in spread of cadmium along the tubules. Metallothionein absorption in the tubules, its catabolism and synthesis must play an important role for the development and progress of the tubular dysfunction. It was not possible to show that a decrease in glomerular filtration rate occurs before low molecular weight proteinuria.
Contribution of Radon and Radon Daughters to Respiratory Cancer
Authors: Naomi Harley, Jonathan M. Samet, Frederick T. Cross, Thomas Hess, Jan Muller, Duncan Thomas
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1986)

This article reviews studies on the contribution of radon and radon daughters to respiratory cancer and proposes recommendations for further research, particularly a national radon survey. The steady-state outdoor radon concentration averages 200 pCi/m3, and indoor levels are about 4 times higher. The primary source of radon in homes is the underlying soil; entry depends on multiple variables and reduced ventilation for energy conservation increases indoor radon levels. Occupational exposures are expressed in units of radon daughter potential energy concentration or working level (WL). Cumulative exposure is the product of the working level and the time exposed. The unit for cumulative exposure is the working level month (WLM). The occupational standard for radon exposure is 4 WLM/year, and 2 WLM/year has been suggested as a guideline for remedial action in homes. Epidemiologic studies show that miners with cumulative radon daughter exposures somewhat below 100 WLM have excess lung cancer mortality. Some 3% to 8% of miners studied have developed lung cancer attributable to radon daughters. All of the underground mining studies show an increased risk of lung cancer with radon daughter exposure. All cell types of lung cancer increased with radon exposure. If radon and smoking act in a multiplicative manner, then the risk for smokers could be 10 times that for nonsmokers. The potential risk of lung cancer appears to be between 1 and 2 per 10,000/WLM, which yields a significant number of lung cancers as some 220 million persons in the United States are exposed on average to 10 to 20 WLM/lifetime.

Estimates of Future Global Tuberculosis Morbidity and Mortality
Journal: JAMA (1994)

Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death associated with infectious diseases globally. The incidence of TB is expected to increase substantially worldwide during the next 10 years because of the interaction between the TB and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemics. This report uses TB notification data (i.e., cases reported to the ministries of health and collected by the World Health Organization [WHO]) to estimate the future global public health impact of TB and assesses the present and future contribution of HIV infection to TB.

Several observations, including our own, have confirmed the finding of low urinary citrate in renal tubular acidosis. Since citrate is an important component of the Kreb's cycle, it seemed pertinent to measure its excretion in this disease under varying conditions. In an adult with well-documented renal tubular acidosis, studied on the metabolism ward, control values for urinary citrate were 10... This content is PDF only.
