American Cancer Society to survey US 'life-styles'
Authors: P. Gunby
Journal: JAMA (1982)

The American Cancer Society (ACS) will conduct a study of American life-styles and environment over the next six years in an attempt to learn how ongoing changes may alter—for better or worse—the incidence of disease, especially cancer. The study, slated to begin Sept 1, will continue until at least 1988 and will involve more than 1 million Americans. Even with the aid of 85,000 unpaid volunteers, it is expected to cost more than $12 million—at least $2 million more than was estimated when the project first was announced a year ago (<i>JAMA</i>[MEDICAL NEWS] 1981;245:1518). The study will be about "equal in size but wider in scope" than a survey the ACS conducted from 1959 to 1972 with 68,000 volunteers. That study provided data that, among other things, pointed to the health consequences of cigarette smoking, encouraged exercise in coping with cardiovascular disease, and associated sexual activity at an early
Dermatitis from contact with moths (genus Hylesia)
Authors: N. Zaias
Journal: JAMA (1969)

An outbreak of dermatitis from contact with moths of the genus Hylesia prompted the clinical and histologic study of both naturally occurring and experimentally produced moth dermatitis. The histologic findings were considered incompatible with pure mechanical injury of the skin by the spinous structures of the scales of the moth, but were suggestive of a toxic injury as the principal cause of the dermatitis.

Contraceptive Pills
Authors: Frank A. Elliott
Journal: JAMA (1968)

<h3>To the Editor:—</h3> While statisticians lock horns over the question as to whether the incidence of thromboembolic disease is increased by the use of oral contraceptives, insufficient attention has been given to the fact that the clinical features of the strokes which arise in these young women often differ significantly from the cerebral vascular accidents of young people in the pre-"Pill" era. In the first place, the localization and clinical characteristics of the stroke itself are often bizarre. Secondly, the duration of incapacity is unusually brief. Thirdly, no further incidents occur if the patient shuns the Pill. The bizarre quality of these attacks may be illustrated by three personal cases. Severe headache, diplopia, ataxia of gait, and projectile vomiting developed in a girl, aged 18, after taking oral contraceptives for four weeks. The illness lasted five days and cleared up spontaneously. She stopped taking oral contraceptives but resumed them a

The future of health care in Africa
Journal: BMJ (2005)

ConclusionBlood pressure can be controlled to the same degree with either practice based self monitoring or usual care.Self monitoring of blood pressure results in worthwhile improvements in systolic blood pressure at six months.How this early improvement might be maintained requires further study.Self monitoring has negligible costs, reduces practice consulting rates, and is acceptable to patients.If the training associated with self monitoring were performed by non-medical or lay individuals then cost savings might be possible.

Deaths attributable to smallpox vaccination, 1959 to 1966, and 1968
Authors: J. M. Lane
Journal: JAMA (1970)

There were 68 deaths in the United States from complications of smallpox vaccination in the nine years 1959 to 1966, and 1968; 19 were associated with vaccinia necrosum, 36 were caused by postvaccinial encephalitis, 12 by eczema vaccinatum, and 1 by Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Of the 68 who died, 24 were infants, although only 12% of all primary vaccinations are given to this age group. All of the deaths from eczema vaccinatum were in children who were not vaccinated themselves, but acquired vaccinia from a sibling, playmate, or parent. This suggests that reduction of the number of deaths from eczema vaccinatum cannot be established by screening vaccinees alone. Reducing the number of primary vaccinations performed would lower the risks of acquiring eczema vaccinatum and postvaccinial encephalitis.

Cycling injuries
Authors: W. A. Black
Journal: British Journal of Sports Medicine (1970)

It is not intended to enter into a detailed discussion of the diagnosis and treatment of individual cycling injuries as the injuries that one is likely to see are not the exclusive prerogative of the cycling fraternity.They include practically every known orthopaedic lesion and cover a spectrum of disability ranging from the trivial to the fatal.It is much more important to discuss the various possibilities, in general terms the cause and prevention of cycling injuries.At the outset, it must be emphasised that, to be of any value, medical assistance must be in the right place at the right time and this implies - especially when dealing with road racing -that the medical attendant must know more than a little about the sport in question.
1997 Albert Lasker and Gairdner Foundation International Medical Research Awardees Named
Authors: Marsha F. Goldsmith
Journal: JAMA (1997)

AS REGULARLY as turning leaves and returning students, autumn brings an announcement of the winners of 2 prestigious medical prizes. Both the Albert Lasker Medical Research Awards, presented in the United States, and the Gairdner Foundation International Awards, presented in Canada, are considered strong predictors of future Nobel Prize winners. Fifty-six Lasker awardees and 47 Gairdner winners have gone on to become Nobel Laureates. The 1997 winners and citations for their accomplishments are as follows. <h3>Albert Lasker Medical Research Awards</h3> Established 52 years ago by New York, NY-based philanthropists Albert and Mary Woodard Lasker, these awards, according to the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation, "celebrate scientists, physicians, and public servants whose accomplishments have made major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and even cure of many of the great cripplers and killers of our century." At ceremonies in New York City, each winner receives an honorarium, a citation in
The quality of physicians' health-care performance. A comparison against optimal criteria for treatment of the elderly and younger adults in community hospitals
Authors: T. F. Lyons
Journal: JAMA (1974)

Comparisons of the quality of physicians' performances against optimal criteria of care were made within 15 diagnostic categories for 808 patients over 64 years old and for 1,243 younger adult patients hospitalized in 22 short-term, community hospitals in Hawaii during 1968. There was no overall consistent evidence that hospitalized elderly patients were treated by their physicians with a different level of personal medical care than were younger adult patients.

Glucose control and the renal and retinal complications of insulin-dependent diabetes
Authors: H. P. Chase
Journal: JAMA (1989)

Two hundred thirty subjects with insulin-dependent diabetes were followed up longitudinally by measuring glycohemoglobin values to relate glucose control with renal and retinal complications. Subjects with long-term poor control (glycohemoglobin values &gt;1.5 times the upper limit of normal) had 3.6 times the prevalence of microalbuminuria and 2.5 times the prevalence of level 3 to 6 retinopathy than that found in subjects with long-term good control (glycohemoglobin values within 1.33 times the upper limit of normal). Variables related to kidney damage were glucose control and, to a lesser degree, duration of diabetes. Variables related to eye disease were, in descending order of significance, duration of diabetes, glucose control, and age. No subject whose mean glycohemoglobin value was consistently within 1.1 times the upper limit of normal had retinopathy or microalbuminuria. In contrast, when the mean glycohemoglobin value was more than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal, 24 (29%) of 82 subjects had microalbuminuria and 30 (37%) of 82 had level 3 to 6 retinopathy.

<h3>Background:</h3> Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is rare in childhood, but has a grave prognosis. The cause of disease in most cases is unknown. <h3>Objective:</h3> To determine the prevalence of sarcomere protein gene mutations in children with idiopathic RCM. <h3>Methods:</h3> Twelve patients (9 female, mean age 5.1 years) with idiopathic RCM referred between 1991 and August 2006 underwent detailed clinical and genetic evaluation. Nine had received cardiac transplants at the time of the study. The entire coding sequences of the genes encoding eight cardiac sarcomere proteins and desmin were screened for mutations. Familial evaluation was performed on first-degree relatives. <h3>Results:</h3> Four patients (33%) had a family history of cardiomyopathy: RCM (n = 2); dilated cardiomyopathy (n = 1) and left ventricular non-compaction (n = 1). Sarcomere protein gene mutations were identified in four patients (33%): 2 in the cardiac troponin I gene (TNNI3) and 1 each in the troponin T (TNNT2) and α-cardiac actin (ACTC) genes. Two were de novo mutations and 3 were new mutations. All mutations occurred in functionally important and conserved regions of the genes. <h3>Conclusions:</h3> Sarcomere protein gene mutations are an important cause of idiopathic RCM in childhood. We describe the first mutation in ACTC in familial RCM. The identification of RCM in a child should prompt consideration of sarcomere protein disease as a possible cause and warrants clinical evaluation of the family.
Triamcinolone aerosol. Treatment of aspirin-hypersensitive asthmatic patients
Authors: W. W. Pingleton
Journal: JAMA (1977)

The efficacy of triamcinolone acetonide aerosol in the management of asthma in six patients with aspirin hypersensitivity was evaluated during a one-year trial. Five patients were previously chronically dependent on systemic corticosteroids and had undergone unsuccessful trials with cromolyn sodium therapy. Substantial reduction in corticosteroid requirements was observed; in two patients, oral prednisone therapy was completely eliminated. Forced expiratory volume and flow were maintained at levels better than those recorded before triamcinolone therapy throughout the year of follow-up. No substantial side effects due to triamcinolone were observed. (<i>JAMA</i>238:2174-2175, 1977)
High Blood Pressure
Authors: Walter M. Kirkendall
Journal: JAMA (1969)

There are a number of medical textbooks which bracket a field or a subject so completely that they are recognized as preeminent. This is one of them, and in this second edition Pickering once more demonstrates his mastery of hypertension. It is an exceptionally well-balanced book, well grounded in the basic sciences and comprehensive as well as interesting and readable. Every internist, pediatrician, generalist, or other student of hypertension will use it regularly with great profit. The book is not simply a rewarming of tha first edition but also a major revision and up-dating of the material first published 13 years ago. Perfectly adequate discussions are given of the various clinical states with which hypertension is associated, but Pickering shines in the areas of his professed interest. His knowledge of the circulation is reflected in his description of what the blood pressure is and how it should be measured. His
Clinical and Biological Basis of Lung Cancer Prevention.
Authors: Simon Hart
Journal: Thorax (1999)

Inhaled corticosteroids in COPDThe importance of presenting absolute cell numbers when counting cells in biological samples is illustrated by the potentially misleading interpretation of data in the paper by Marco Confalonieri and colleagues. 1 The authors concluded that, in addition to reduced sputum neutrophilia, the number of sputum macrophages increased significantly following treatment with inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate in patients with COPD.However, the observed increase in the proportion of sputum macrophages from 19.6% before treatment to 35.8% following treatment is entirely attributable to the reduced number of sputum neutrophils.From the data presented in the paper, the absolute numbers of diVerent cells in the sputum can be calculated (table 1), revealing that the absolute sputum macrophage count was essentially unchanged following treatment.It is important that the absolute numbers of cells, and not simply their proportions, are presented when measuring diVerential cell counts in sputum or any other biological sample.

MEDICAL EDUCATION
Authors: Theodore Diller
Journal: JAMA (1924)

<h3>To the Editor:</h3> —The articles inThe Journal, March 15, by Drs. Flexner, Colwell, Cushing and Burton constitute a symposium on the subject of medical education of the utmost value, and should be carefully read. Indeed, I think it would be well if these papers were collected in pamphlet form. The papers by Cushing and Edsall propose for medical students the very thing which in my opinion is most needed at present; namely, some time for idling. I predict that the move of the Medical School of Harvard University will mark an epoch in the history of medical education in that it provides some free time for the student—all of Saturday and Sunday, and, besides, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. This, I believe, will be the remedy for the very things that Dr. Edsall, with fine insight, tells us are wrong with our present-day medical education and our students. This terrible
