[ { "id": "13047", "type": "document", "text": [ "Short-term effects of prednisolone and dexamethasone on circulating concentrations of leptin and sex hormone-binding globulin in children being treated for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia . OBJECTIVE Disturbances in body weight regulation are often encountered during glucocorticoid treatment and are associated with increased insulin resistance and truncal fat accumulation . Children were investigated who were receiving glucocorticoid treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia ( ALL ) . They were randomized to receive either prednisolone or dexamethasone as part of induction of remission . This randomization process provided a suitable opportunity to compare the effects of these two administered steroid on surrogate markers of adipocyte activity ( leptin ) and hyperinsulinaemia/insulin resistance ( SHBG ) . DESIGN AND PATIENTS Prospective study over 16 weeks of children randomized to receive prednisolone ( 40 mg/m2 ) or dexamethasone ( 6.5 mg/m2 ) as part of the MRC-ALL97/99 induction chemotherapy for ALL . Nineteen children ( 8 male , 11 female ) with a median age 5.9 years ( range 2.6-13 years ) were recruited into the study . Main outcome measures were body mass index ( BMI ) , serum leptin and sex hormone binding globulin ( SHBG ) . RESULTS Glucocorticoid administration for 5 weeks resulted in significant ( P < 0.05 ) increases in BMI , leptin ( corrected for BMI ) and the leptin : SHBG ratio and lowering of SHBG . Dose for dose , dexamethasone was significantly more potent than prednisolone in altering these parameters . CONCLUSIONS Short-term glucocorticoid treatment has significant effects on BMI , leptin and SHBG . The leptin : SHBG ratio increase indicates that this may be a novel and sensitive biochemical marker of metabolic change . Our results suggest that glucocorticoid treatment regimens should be kept as short as possible to avoid possible detrimental effects associated with increased adiposity and insulin resistance ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1965 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVE To compare the outcomes of an adapted pilot Changing Childbirth initiative providing continuity of care by a group of known midwives with traditional maternity care . DESIGN Between-groups trial to compare levels of satisfaction and clinical outcomes for two groups of women , cared for either under this Changing Childbirth scheme or the traditional model of care . METHOD Of the 200 women who agreed to participate in the project , 100 were randomly allocated to the pilot scheme and 100 to the traditional care package . During the postpartum period , information was collected via a questionnaire about participants ' levels of satisfaction with a variety of aspects of care provided during the antenatal , delivery and postpartum periods . Data about clinical outcomes for the two groups were also obtained . RESULTS Women in the pilot group had significantly more continuity of care throughout each of the three periods , were generally more satisfied with their care , felt that they had more choice over a variety of aspects of care and experienced no compromise in clinical outcomes ( P = 0.05 or less in each case ) . IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Many previous attempts to introduce the Changing Childbirth initiative have revealed significant problems , particularly with regard to the continuity of carer requirement . Taking account of local health care needs and existing provision , the present study adapted this concept to continuity of care . This did not apparently affect any of the guiding principles contained in the original document , and yet enhanced satisfaction . It would appear that the Changing Childbirth agenda can be adapted and integrated with local health care situations without sacrificing any of the overarching principles ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1809 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVE Stapled mucosectomy has been developed as an alternative to conventional haemorrhoidectomy for the elective treatment of haemorrhoids , but has not been assessed in the emergency setting . The aim of this study was to compare this technique with a conventional procedure for acute thrombosed circumferential prolapsed haemorrhoids . PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective randomized comparison of conventional Milligan-Morgan haemorrhoidectomy and stapled mucosectomy was carried out on 35 consecutive patients presenting with acute thrombosed circumferential prolapsed haemorrhoids . Operative data , postoperative stay , pain assessment and persistent symptoms were compared at discharge and at 2 week and 6 week review . Additionally at 6 week review the time to return to work was recorded and an endoanal ultrasound was carried out . RESULTS Thirty patients were randomized and followed up for six weeks . Although postoperative stay and in-hospital analgesia were the same , patients from the stapled group reported significantly more pain at discharge . However , by 2 weeks the conventional group reported significantly higher pain scores particularly on passing stool . By this stage over half the stapled group patients reported no pain at all . More patients in the conventional group complained of persistent symptoms of pain , bleeding and discharge at 2 week and 6 week review with 20 % requiring readmission compared with none in the stapled group . The median return to work was significantly shorter for the stapled group ( 14 days vs 28 days , P < 0.05 ) . Although all patients claimed to be continent , two patients from each group had ultrasonic evidence of internal sphincter damage . CONCLUSION Stapled mucosectomy for acute thrombosed circumferential piles is feasible and may result in less pain , a more rapid resolution of symptoms and an earlier return to work compared with a conventional procedure ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2086 ] ] } ]

This article describes a new method for ( 1 ) systematically prioritizing needs for intervention on hazardous substance exposures in manufacturing work sites , and ( 2 ) evaluating intervention effectiveness . We developed a checklist containing six unique sets of yes/no variables organized in a 2 x 3 matrix of exposure potential versus protection ( two columns ) at the levels of materials , processes , and human interface ( three rows ) . The three levels correspond to a simplified hierarchy of controls . Each of the six sets of indicator variables was reduced to a high/moderate/low rating . Ratings from the matrix were then combined to generate a single overall exposure prevention rating for each area . Reflecting the hierarchy of controls , material factors were weighted highest , followed by process , and then human interface . The checklist was filled out by an industrial hygienist while conducting a walk-through inspection ( N = 131 manufacturing processes/areas in 17 large work sites ) . One area or process per manufacturing department was assessed and rated . Based on the resulting Exposure Prevention ratings , we concluded that exposures were well controlled in the majority of areas assessed ( 64 % with rating of 1 or 2 on a 6-point scale ) , that there is some room for improvement in 26 percent of areas ( rating of 3 or 4 ) , and that roughly 10 percent of the areas assessed are urgently in need of intervention ( rated as 5 or 6 ) . A second hygienist independently assessed a subset of areas to evaluate inter-rater reliability . The reliability of the overall exposure prevention ratings was excellent ( weighted kappa = 0.84 ) . The rating scheme has good discriminatory power and reliability and shows promise as a broadly applicable and inexpensive tool for intervention needs assessment and effectiveness evaluation . Validation studies are needed as a next step . This assessment method complements quantitative exposure assessment with an upstream prevention focus ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2110 ] ] } ]

Thirty-five healthy adults age 35-69 years were enrolled in a randomized , double-blind , placebo-controlled trial of 8 weeks ' duration . All participants took three gelcaps per day , one at each meal . Nineteen participants received gelcaps with an algal extract in safflower oil , containing 2 mg of astaxanthin each ( treatment ) ; 16 participants received gelcaps containing safflower oil only ( placebo ) . Blood pressure and blood chemistry tests , including a comprehensive metabolic panel and cell blood count , were conducted at the beginning of the trial and after 4 and 8 weeks of supplementation . No significant differences were detected between the treatment and the placebo groups after 8 weeks of supplementation with the algal extract in the parameters analyzed , except for serum calcium , total protein , and eosinophils ( P < .01 ) . Although the differences in these three parameters were statistically significant , they were very small and are of no clinical importance . These results reveal that 6 mg of astaxanthin per day from a H. pluvialis algal extract can be safely consumed by healthy adults ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1552 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the long-term efficacy of intranasal furosemide , an inhibitor of the sodium chloride cotransporter channel at the basolateral surface of the respiratory epithelial cell , vs no therapeutic intervention vs intranasal mometasone furoate , a corticosteroid , in preventing relapses of chronic hyperplastic sinusitis with nasal polyposis . DESIGN Randomized prospective controlled study . Patients were examined every 6 months during follow-up ( range , 1-9 years ) . PATIENTS One hundred seventy patients with bilateral obstructive or minimally obstructive chronic hyperplastic sinusitis with nasal polyposis . INTERVENTION All patients were surgically treated in the ENT Department , University of Siena Medical School . One month after surgery , group 1 patients ( n = 97 ) started treatment with intranasal furosemide , group 2 ( n = 40 ) received no therapeutic treatment , and group 3 ( n = 33 ) were treated with mometasone . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Clinical and instrumental evaluation of postoperative outcomes . RESULTS Seventeen ( 17.5 % ) of 97 patients in group 1 , 12 ( 30.0 % ) of 40 patients in group 2 , and 8 ( 24.2 % ) of 33 patients in group 3 experienced nasal polyposis relapses . We noted a prevalence of early-stage relapse in patients treated with furosemide or mometasone , whereas patients who did not receive any treatment experienced more severe grades of chronic hyperplastic sinusitis with nasal polyposis ( P < .005 ) .

AIMS Whether chronic dosing with montelukast confers benefit in patients with moderate to severe asthma remains to be fully established . A proof of concept study was performed evaluating putative benefits with montelukast in moderate persistent asthmatics who were taken off inhaled corticosteroids ( ICS ) and switched to salmeterol . The latter was done to dissociate the effects of montelukast from ICS . METHODS Twenty moderate to severe persistent asthmatics completed a randomized double-blind crossover study . Subjects received montelukast 10 mg daily or placebo for 2 weeks each . This was preceded by a 2-week run-in when ICS were discontinued and salmeterol started , and used on a regular basis throughout the study . Measurements were made after run-in and after both randomized treatments . RESULTS There were no significant sequence effects for responses as to whether placebo or montelukast were given first or second . Methacholine PD20 values after run-in , first and second placebo were 63 micro g , 60 micro g and 64 micro g , respectively ( corresponding to 2 , 4 and 6 weeks of ICS washout , respectively ) . Lung function deteriorated pre vs post run-in , which was significant ( P < 0.05 ) for FEF25-75 % predicted . Montelukast conferred significant ( P < 0.05 ) improvements as change from post run-in compared with placebo in methacholine PD20 , FEV1 % predicted , FEF25-75 % predicted , diurnal peak expiratory flow , symptoms and salbutamol use . For the primary outcome of methacholine PD20 , this amounted to a 1.6-fold difference ( 95 % CI 1.1 , 2.5 ) . CONCLUSIONS In moderate persistent asthmatics switched from taking ICS to salmeterol alone , adding montelukast conferred significant benefits on all parameters of asthma control .

The education instrument was developed based on the EuroPharm-Forum Guidelines and its impact assessed by a self-developed questionnaire . Patients ' QoL , asthma knowledge was assessed twice , once before and after the education seminar , education was only provided for the intervention group . QoL was measured with the St George 's Respiratory Questionnaire ( SGRQ ) and a visual analogue scale ( VAS ) . RESULTS We found significant differences in answers to the asthma questions , by 40 % improvement , but no changes in the control group . In inhaler-use technique , we could not find significant changes neither in the intervention nor in the control group . There were no significant differences between the results of the two visits neither with the VAS nor with the SGRQ on the QoL data . CONCLUSION The results indicate that asthmatics experience lower QoL . As the subjects were regularly controlled asthmatics they had better general knowledge and inhaler-use technique was expected .

BACKGROUND Formaldehyde ( FA ) is well documented as a cause of occupational asthma . Recently , attention has been paid to FA as an allergen and a pollutant that enhances allergic sensitization . We have investigated the prevalence of FA-specific IgE in asthmatic children and the correlation between IgE sensitization to FA and the severity of asthma . METHODS One hundred and fifty-five children were investigated , 122 of them asthmatic and 33 nonallergic . Specific IgE against FA was measured by CAP RAST . In addition , the patients answered a questionnaire , containing questions on clinical features of their asthma , their living conditions , and symptoms of mucosal irritation . RESULTS Of all the subjects assessed , FA-specific IgE was detected in only two asthmatics , and their IgE levels of FA were low ( 0.42 and 0.46 UA/ml ) . One of the two patients with FA-specific IgE had severe asthma and frequent symptoms of mucosal irritation , but the other had mild asthma and only rare symptoms of mucosal irritation . CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of IgE sensitization to FA appears very low in Japanese children , whether or not they have asthma .

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and endocrine response of oral contraceptive ovarian suppression followed by clomiphene citrate in patients who previously were clomiphene citrate resistant . STUDY DESIGN Forty-eight patients from a private tertiary infertility clinic were assigned randomly prospectively to either group 1 ( oral contraceptive/clomiphene citrate ) , which received continuous oral contraceptives followed by clomiphene citrate , or to group 2 ( control ) received no treatment in the cycle before clomiphene citrate treatment . On day 3 , 17 beta-estradiol , follicle-stimulating hormone , luteinizing hormone , and androgens were assayed before and after treatment . Follicle growth , ovulation , and pregnancy were evaluated . The Student t test and analysis of variance were used for statistical significance . RESULTS The oral contraceptive/clomiphene citrate group had a significantly higher percentage of patients who ovulated and of ovulatory cycles and pregnancies . Significantly lower levels of 17 beta-estradiol , luteinizing hormone , and androgen levels were seen in the oral contraceptive/clomiphene citrate group , with no significant changes in group 2 .

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE A single dose of theophylline improves hypoglycemia unawareness in type 1 diabetic patients . Prolonged theophylline use is , however , associated with emergence of tolerance . This study investigated whether prolonged use of theophylline retains efficacy for counterregulatory defects in patients with type 1 diabetes and hypoglycemia unawareness . METHODS Experiments were performed with 12 subjects with type 1 diabetes and hypoglycemia unawareness . All subjects participated in a crossover study of 2 randomly scheduled 15-day study periods during which 250 mg theophylline twice daily or matching placebo was used . On the final day of each period , hyperinsulinemic ( 360 pmol x m ( -2 ) x min ( -1 ) ) hypoglycemic ( 5.0 , 3.5 , 2.5 mmol x L ( -1 ) ) glucose clamps were used to assess counterregulatory and cardiovascular responses . RESULTS Under normoglycemic conditions , there were no differences between theophylline and placebo . Under hypoglycemic conditions , theophylline enhanced responses of growth hormone , symptoms , heart rate , and pulse pressure ( all P < .05 ) , induced sweating at higher plasma glucose levels ( P =.039 ) , and reduced exogenous glucose requirements ( P =.018 ) . Hypoglycemia-induced responses of epinephrine , norepinephrine , and cortisol were not enhanced by theophylline . CONCLUSIONS Prolonged use of theophylline has a sustained effect on cardiovascular , metabolic , and symptom responses to hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes and hypoglycemia unawareness .

Enterostatin ( ENT ) has been found to inhibit food intake and selectively inhibit fat intake in rats . Both peripheral and central mechanisms have been proposed .

The present study investigated the effects of oral ENT administration on food intake , energy expenditure and body weight in subjects with a preference for a high-fat diet . In a double-blind , placebo-controlled , randomized and crossover design , nine female and three male healthy subjects ( age 34 ( sd 11 ) years , BMI 24.5 ( sd 2.5 ) kg/m ( 2 ) ) with a preference for a high-fat diet ingested ENT ( 3 x 15 mg/d ) or placebo ( PLA ) while consuming a high-fat diet ad libitum for 4 d. Eight subjects ended each intervention with a 36 h stay in the respiration chamber , continuing the diet and treatment . Body-weight loss was significant ( ENT 0.8 ( se 0.3 ) kg , P < 0.05 ; PLA 1.3 ( se 0.3 ) kg , P < 0.001 ) , but not different between treatments . There was no difference between treatments in total energy intake ( ENT 37.1 ( se 2.6 ) , PLA 35.9 ( se 3.2 ) MJ ) , macronutrient composition , hunger , satiety and hedonic scores during the 4 d high-fat diet .

A controlled , randomized , double-blind , parallel-group study compared the effects of ViviScal ( a new food supplement incorporating special marine extracts and a silica compound ) with those of a fish extract in the treatment of young males with hereditary androgenic alopecia . The pretreatment histological diagnosis was alopecia with a mild to moderate perifollicular inflammation zone . The study consisted of 20 subjects who received two tablets of ViviScal once daily and 20 who received two tablets of fish extract once daily for 6 months . The mean patient age and mean duration and severity of baldness compared well between the two groups . Most patients had been treated with long-term topical 2 % minoxidil for 1 year or more prior to the study . At baseline and after 6 months ' treatment , a biopsy was taken for histological examination . A non-vellus hair count was performed at baseline and after 2 , 4 and 6 months . In the fish extract treatment group three patients withdrew from the study before the fourth month due to lack of therapeutic effect . After 6 months ' treatment , patients receiving ViviScal showed a mean increase in non-vellus hair of 38 % compared with a 2 % increase in the fish extract treatment group ( P < 0.0001 ) .

BACKGROUND A variety of different endoscopic resection techniques for early stage cancer of the upper GI tract have been described that are more effective than strip biopsy . However , there is no report of a prospective randomized comparison of different techniques . METHODS In a prospective randomized study , 100 consecutive endoscopic resections were performed in 72 patients with early stage esophageal cancer . Fifty endoscopic resections were performed with a \" suck-and-ligate \" device without prior submucosa injection and 50 with the cap technique with prior submucosa injection of a dilute saline solution of epinephrine . The main assessment criteria were maximum diameter of the resection specimen and of the resection area , and the complication rate . RESULTS No significant differences were observed between the two groups with regard to the maximum diameters and calculated area of the resected specimens ( ligation group : 16.4 [ 4.0 ] x 11 [ 3.1 ] mm/185 [ 84 ] mm ( 2 ) vs. cap group : 15.5 [ 4.1 ] x 10.7 [ 2.7 ] mm/168 [ 83 ] mm ( 2 ) ) , or the maximum diameters and calculated area of the endoscopic resection ulcers after 24 hours ( ligation group : 20.6 [ 4.8 ] x 14.3 [ 4.5 ] mm/314 [ 160 ] mm ( 2 ) vs. cap group : 18.9 [ 5.1 ] x 12.9 [ 3.8 ] mm/260 [ 145 ] mm ( 2 ) ) . There was only a slight advantage ( greater diameter of resection specimens ) for the ligation group in patients who had prior endoscopic treatment . There was one minor episode of bleeding in each group ; there was no severe complication . In 41 of 72 patients ( 57 % ) , further endoscopic therapy after endoscopic resection was necessary because of residual neoplasia at the first follow-up endoscopy after resection ( 61 of 100 resection specimens [ 61 % ] had lateral margins that could not be evaluated because of coagulation artifact or contained malignancy but with the base of the lesion free of tumor ) . CONCLUSIONS The cap technique with submucosa injection and the ligation technique without submucosa injection are similar with respect to efficacy and safety for endoscopic resection of early stage esophageal cancers ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2255 ] ] } ]

PATIENTS AND METHODS Two hundred patients with untreated advanced gastric carcinoma were randomised to receive PELF or FAMTX for a maximum of six cycles or until disease progression . RESULTS The complete response ( CR ) rates to PELF and FAMTX were , respectively , 13 % [ 95 % confidence intervals ( CI ) 6 % to 20 % ] and 2 % ( 95 % CI 0 % to 5 % ; P = 0.003 ) , and the objective response rates [ CR plus partial response ( PR ) rates ] 39 % ( 95 % CI 29 % to 49 % ) and 22 % ( 95 % CI 13 % to 30 % ; P = 0.009 ) , thus significantly favouring the PELF combination . The survival rates after 12 months ( 30.8 % versus 22.4 % ) and 24 months ( 15.7 % versus 9.5 % ) were also higher among patients receiving PELF , but these differences were not statistically significant .

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Over the last few decades , application of ultrasound has been attempted to enhance transdermal transport of several drugs , a method referred to as \" phonophoresis . \" The purposes of this study were to examine the influence of ultrasound on the transdermal delivery of ketoprofen in humans and to compare the concentrations found after continuous and pulsed application . SUBJECTS AND METHODS Twenty-six patients with knee disorders requiring arthroscopy were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups . Just before surgery , phonophoresis of a ketoprofen gel ( Fastum gel ) was given to group A using continuous ultrasound ( 1 MHz , 1.5 W/cm2 , for 5 minutes ) . Group B received the same treatment but with pulsed ultrasound ( 100 Hz , 20 % duty cycle ) . Group C received 5 minutes of sham ultrasound with the ketoprofen gel . The ultrasound head was moved over a 10-cm2 area using small , continuous , circular movements . Biopsies of adipose tissue and synovial tissue were taken during surgery to evaluate the local penetration of the drug . Blood samples also were collected to determine whether ketoprofen entered the systemic circulation . RESULTS The concentration of ketoprofen in plasma was negligible in all 3 groups . The concentration of ketoprofen in synovial tissue differed from that in fat tissue . A difference in concentration of ketoprofen in synovial tissue was found between group C and groups A and B . The concentration of ketoprofen in fat tissue and synovial tissue was consistently higher in group B than in group A . DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION This study confirms that phonophoresis of ketoprofen allows the attainment of higher local concentrations , whereas systemic exposure is lower . The results indicate that , in contrast to sham phonopheresis , ultrasound can increase the transdermal delivery of ketoprofen ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1967 ] ] } ]

The optimum treatment conditions of interferon ( IFN ) alpha therapy in chronic myeloid leukemia ( CML ) are still controversial . To evaluate the role of hydroxyurea ( HU ) for the outcome of IFN therapy , we conducted a randomized trial to compare the combination of IFN and HU vs HU monotherapy ( CML-study II ) . From February 1991 to December 1994 , 376 patients with newly diagnosed CML in chronic phase were randomized . In all , 340 patients were Ph/BCR-ABL positive and evaluable . Randomization was unbalanced 1:2 in favor of the combination therapy , since study conditions were identical to the previous CML-study I and it had been planned in advance to add the HU patients of study I ( n=194 ) to the HU control group . Therefore , a total of 534 patients were evaluable ( 226 patients with IFN/HU and 308 patients with HU ) . Analyses were according to intention-to-treat . Median observation time of nontransplanted living patients was 7.6 years ( 7.9 years for IFN/HU and 7.3 years for HU ) . The risk profile ( new CML score ) was available for 532 patients : 200 patients ( 38 % ) were low , 239 patients ( 45 % ) intermediate , and 93 patients ( 17 % ) high risk . Complete hematologic response rates were higher in IFN/HU-treated patients ( 59 vs 32 % ) . Of 169 evaluable IFN/HU-treated patients ( 75 % ) , 104 patients ( 62 % ) achieved a cytogenetic response that was complete in 12 % ( n=21 ) , major in 14 % ( n=24 ) , and at least minimal in 35 % ( n=59 ) . Of the 534 patients , 105 ( 20 % ) underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation in first chronic phase . In the low-risk group , 65 of 200 patients were transplanted ( 33 % ) , 30 ( 13 % ) in the intermediate-risk group , and nine ( 10 % ) in the high-risk group . Duration of chronic phase was 55 months for IFN/HU and 41 months for HU ( P < 0.0001 ) . Median survival was 64 months for IFN/HU and 53 months for HU-treated patients ( P=0.0063 ) . We conclude that IFN in combination with HU achieves a significant long-term survival advantage over HU monotherapy . In view of the data of CML-study I , these results suggest that IFN/HU is also superior to IFN alone . HU should be combined with IFN in IFN-based therapies and for comparisons with new therapies ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2465 ] ] } ]

It is now recognized that left ventricular hypertrophy ( LVH ) , often associated with hypertension , is itself a risk factor for coronary disease in the elderly . Although many agents are capable of controlling blood pressure , the ability of these agents to induce regression of left ventricular ( LV ) mass , and the effect of regression on diastolic relaxation and contractile indices in the elderly are less well known . Our study compared the ability of the calcium blocker , verapamil , and the beta-blocker , atenolol , to both control blood pressure ( BP ) and to induce regression of LV mass in older hypertensives . In addition , the influence of regression on resting diastolic filling and on cardiac output and ejection fraction during rest and mild upright bicycle exercise were determined . Forty-two hypertensives 60 years of age or above , without evidence of ischemic disease underwent 2-D echocardiographic evaluation of LV mass and gated blood pool scan determination of early diastolic filling , cardiac output and ejection fraction . They were then randomized to receive verapamil or atenolol during a four-week titration period so as to achieve a BP of less than 160/90 mm Hg . If BP was not controlled with either agent , chlorthalidone was added . Individuals whose BP was controlled continued on the protocol for six months . At that time , the echocardiographic and gated blood pool studies were repeated both on and after subsequent withdrawal of the study medications . Twenty-one patients were randomized to receive verapamil and 21 patients to receive atenolol .

BACKGROUND Tubulointerstitial injury is a major feature of diabetic nephropathy and an important predictor of renal dysfunction . In 45 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus ( DM ) , we prospectively analyzed urinary excretion of N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase ( NAG ) , a marker of tubular renal damage ; the potential relationship with urinary protein excretion ; and effects of pentoxifylline ( PTF ) administration . METHODS Forty-five patients with type 2 DM initially were compared with 15 healthy controls matched for age and sex . After randomization , PTF ( 1,200 mg/d ) was administered for 4 months to 30 patients and results were compared with data from a control group ( n = 15 ) . RESULTS Proteinuria and urinary NAG excretion were significantly greater in patients with DM with respect to healthy controls . Before PTF administration , baseline parameters were similar in both groups of patients with DM . At the end of the study , urinary protein excretion and NAG-creatinine ratios decreased in the active group from 920 +/- 522 mg/d and 14.3 +/- 16.9 U/g to 803 +/- 523 mg/d ( P < 0.001 ) and 10.5 +/- 9.3 U/g ( P < 0.05 ) , respectively . Conversely , proteinuria and urinary NAG excretion did not change in the control group . Regression analysis showed that urinary NAG excretion was significantly associated with duration of DM ( r = 0.61 ; P < 0.001 ) and proteinuria ( r = 0.51 ; P < 0.001 ) . CONCLUSION Urinary NAG excretion is elevated in patients with type 2 DM compared with healthy individuals and increases as nephropathy progresses .

OBJECTIVE The main objective of the study was to determine the effects of three different infusion rates of fentanyl and remifentanil on the minimum alveolar concentration ( MAC ) of isoflurane in the rat . A secondary objective was to assess the cardiovascular and respiratory effects of the two opioid drugs . ANIMAL POPULATION Thirty-seven male Wistar rats were randomly allocated to one of six treatment groups . MATERIAL AND METHODS For all treatment groups anaesthesia was induced with 5 % isoflurane in oxygen using an induction chamber . A 14-gauge catheter was used for endotracheal intubation , and anaesthesia was maintained with isoflurane delivered in oxygen via a T-piece breathing system . A baseline determination of the minimum alveolar concentration of isoflurane ( MACISO ) was made for each animal . Fentanyl ( 15 , 30 , 60 micro g kg-1 hour-1 ) or remifentanil ( 60 , 120 , 240 micro g kg-1 hour-1 ) were infused intravenously into a previously cannulated tail vein . Thirty minutes after the infusion started , a second MACISO ( MACISO+drug ) was determined . The carotid artery was cannulated to monitor the arterial pressure and to take samples for arterial gas measurements . Cardiovascular ( heart rate and arterial pressure ) and respiratory ( respiratory rate and presence/absence of apnoea ) effects after opioid infusion were also recorded . RESULTS Fentanyl ( 15 , 30 , 60 micro g kg-1 hour-1 ) and remifentanil ( 60 , 120 , 240 micro g kg-1 hour-1 ) similarly reduced isoflurane MAC in a dose-dependent fashion : by 10 % at lower doses , 25 % at medium doses and by 60 % at higher doses of both the drugs . Both opioids reduced the respiratory rate in a similar way for all doses tested . No episodes of apnoea were recorded in the remifentanil groups , while administration of fentanyl resulted in apnoea in three animals ( one at each dose level ) . The effects on the cardiovascular system were similar with both drugs . CONCLUSIONS We conclude that the intraoperative use of remifentanil in the rat reduces the MAC of isoflurane , and that this anaesthetic sparing effect is dose-dependent and similar to that produced by fentanyl at the doses tested . CLINICAL RELEVANCE The use of remifentanil during inhalant anaesthesia in the rat can be considered an intravenous alternative to fentanyl , providing similar reduction in isoflurane requirements . Due to its rapid offset , it is recommended that alternative pain relief be instituted before it is discontinued ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2567 ] ] } ]

The patients received an initial 4-week course of either 250 mg acetazolamide twice daily ( b.i.d . ) or placebo , followed by a 4-week washout period . They then received a 4-week course of the reverse study medication . An improvement in visual acuity and fundus fluorescein angiographic findings was assessed . RESULTS In total , 29 patients ( 55 eyes ) completed the trial and were available for analysis . Of the 29 , 16 men and 13 were women . The age range was 13-50 years ( mean 33.6 years ) . Patients on acetazolamide showed a slightly better improvement of angiographic signs ( at least by one grade improvement ) over that of placebo ( 12 vs five eyes ) . They also had less deterioration of angiographic signs over that of placebo ( three vs seven eyes ) . However , these findings were not statistically significant ( P=0.99 ) . Acetazolamide had no statistically significant effect ( P=0.53 ) on the improvement of visual acuity of patients over that of placebo ( 13 vs eight eyes ) , nor on the deterioration of visual acuity ( three vs 11 eyes ) .

BACKGROUND Studies in vitro suggest that abrasion and erosion may act synergistically to produce wear of enamel and dentine . Methods in situ are recently available to study separately erosion and abrasion of dental tissues . The aim of this study was to combine two in situ protocols to study the interplay between erosion and abrasion of enamel and dentine . METHOD The study was a single-blind , randomised , five-treatment cross-over design involving 15 healthy volunteers . During each 10-day study period , subjects wore from 0900 to 1700 h an upper removable acrylic appliance holding one polished enamel and one polished dentine specimen . The specimen treatment regimens were : 1 . Drinking water and brushing with toothpaste A . 2 . Drinking water and brushing with toothpaste B . 3 . Drinking orange juice . 4 . Drinking orange juice and brushing with toothpaste A . 5 . Drinking orange juice and brushing with toothpaste B . Drinking and brushing times were around 0900 , 1100 , 1300 and 1500 h. Drinks were consumed as 250 ml over 10 min and brushing ex vivo for 1 min to each specimen . Measurement of tissue loss was made on days 5 and 10 of each period using a profilometer . RESULTS All treatments produced increasing tissue loss over time , which was considerably greater for dentine than enamel . For enamel , the data at days 5 and 10 showed a significant effect for erosion ( i.e . orange juice was significantly more erosive than water ) , but no significant effect for abrasion ( i.e . no significant difference between the two toothpaste treatments ) . The combined orange juice and toothpaste effects were directional for synergy but did not reach significance . For dentine at day 10 , many specimens exceeded the 50 microm set limit of the profilometer and only day 5 data were considered . There were significant effects for erosion ( orange juice produced significantly more erosion than water ) and for abrasion ( paste A was significantly more abrasive to dentine than paste B ) . The synergy effect could not be examined for dentine due to the truncation effect as the set limit of the profilometer was exceeded . CONCLUSIONS Erosion increases the susceptibility of enamel to toothpaste abrasion . Dentine is considerably more susceptible than enamel to erosion and abrasion alone or combined . Dentine loss appears to correlate with toothpaste abrasivity ( RDA value ) ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2525 ] ] } ]

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Clinical observations suggest that patients with vascular dementia ( VaD ) may benefit from treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors . This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of donepezil for relieving symptoms of dementia in VaD . METHODS Patients ( n=603 ; mean age , 73.9 years ; 55.2 % men ) with probable ( 70.5 % ) or possible ( 29.5 % ) VaD , according to criteria of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke ( NINDS ) and the Association Internationale pour la Recherche et l'Enseignement en Neurosciences ( AIREN ) , were randomized to 24 weeks of treatment with donepezil 5 mg/d ( n=198 ) , donepezil 10 mg/d ( 5 mg/d for first 28 days ; n=206 ) , or placebo ( n=199 ) . Analyses were based on the intent-to-treat population . RESULTS At week 24 , both donepezil groups showed significant improvement in cognition versus placebo on the Alzheimer 's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale ( mean change from baseline score effect size : donepezil 5 mg/d , -1.90 ; P=0.001 ; donepezil 10 mg/d , -2.33 ; P < 0.001 ) . Significant improvements in patients ' global function were seen versus placebo at week 24 ( observed cases ) , on the Clinician 's Interview-Based Impression of Change-Plus version only for patients on donepezil 5 mg/d ( P=0.014 ) , and on the Sum of the Boxes of the Clinical Dementia Rating only for patients on 10 mg/d ( P=0.007 ) . Donepezil-treated patients showed significant benefits in activities of daily living over placebo on the Alzheimer 's Disease Functional Assessment and Change Scale ( mean change from baseline score effect size at week 24 : donepezil 5 mg/d , -1.31 , P=0.02 ; donepezil 10 mg/d , -1.31 , P=0.02 ) . Donepezil was well tolerated . Withdrawal rates due to adverse events were relatively low ( placebo , 11.1 % ; donepezil 5 mg/d , 11.1 % ; donepezil 10 mg/d , 21.8 % ; P=0.005 versus placebo ) .

BACKGROUND/AIMS Retrospective studies suggest that the prognosis of patients with cirrhosis and variceal hemorrhage has improved in more recent decades . In a prospective cohort study in which the choice of prophylactic therapy was left to each practitioner , we followed cirrhotic patients with medium/large varices to determine factors predictive of bleeding and death . METHODS Three hundred fourteen patients with grades 2 or 3 esophageal varices ( Child A and B/C : 218 and 96 ) were enrolled . One hundred seventy-three patients had no previous history of variceal bleeding . Only 245 patients ( 100 % of patients with prior variceal hemorrhage , 61 % of patients without prior hemorrhage ) were receiving some form of prophylactic therapy . The median follow-up was 18 months . RESULTS There were 76 bleeding events and 14 related deaths ( 18 % ) ; nine of these deaths occurred within 24 h of bleeding onset ( two at home , two during hospital transfer , and five in hospital , a mean of 2.5 h after onset ; six involved Child C patients ) . Twenty-five deaths were not due to bleeding but were closely related to cirrhosis . In a Cox model , the presence of tense ascites ( relative risk 3.4 , 95 % confidence interval , CI 2.5-5.9 ) and a prior history of hemorrhage ( relative risk 4.4 , 95 % CI 2.6-7.5 ) were independent predictors of variceal hemorrhage . In patients without a prior history of bleeding , bleeding risk was higher with more prolonged prothrombin time and lower when patients were receiving propranolol . CONCLUSIONS Despite the advent of effective drugs and endoscopic therapy for variceal bleeding , about a quarter of deaths occur very early after bleeding onset , confirming the need for rapid specific management ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1811 ] ] } ]

BACKGROUND The objectives of the current study were to determine the outcome of children who were treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy on the Children 's Cancer Group ( CCG ) high-grade glioma protocol ( CCG-945 ) who were diagnosed with low-grade gliomas on post hoc central pathologic review and to identify clinical and biologic features associated with prognosis . METHODS Between 1985 and 1991 , 250 children with institutionally classified high-grade gliomas were enrolled on CCG-945 . Patients older than 24 months with intracranial lesions were assigned randomly to receive either lomustine , vincristine , and prednisone ( control regimen ) or the 8-drugs-in-1-day regimen ( experimental regimen ) ; younger patients and those with primary spinal cord tumors were assigned nonrandomly to the experimental regimen . Central independent review by 5 neuropathologists led to a reclassification of low-grade glioma in 70 patients , who were the focus of the current study . RESULTS The study involved 42 males and 28 females ( median age , 7.7 years ) with a median follow-up of 10.4 years . At 5 years , the progression-free survival ( PFS ) rate was 63 % +/- 6 % , and the overall survival ( OS ) rate was 79 % +/- 5 % , compared with a PFS rate of 19 % +/- 3 % ( P < 0.0001 ) and an OS rate of 22 % +/- 3 % ( P < 0.0001 ) in the remainder of the cohort . Significantly poorer 5-year PFS was seen in children younger than 24 months , those with fibrillary astrocytoma , and those with posterior fossa tumors . Patients demonstrated a modest improvement in PFS but no improvement in OS compared with children with low-grade gliomas who were treated with contemporary chemotherapy-alone approaches .

The present study compares the clinical efficacy and safety of topical hydrocortisone , acetylsalicylic acid ( ASA ) and piroxicam compared to placebo . The trial , designed as a double-blind , randomized and parallel-group treatment , was carried out in a group of 40 patients suffering from seasonal allergic conjunctivitis due to Parietaria pollen , during the pollen season ( June-July , 1990 ) .

The symptoms were evaluated at baseline and at the end of treatment by the clinician and by patients on a diary card . The hydrocortisone group showed a rapid and significant improvement during the first week of treatment , while ASA and piroxicam reduced symptomatology during the second week of treatment ; this difference was statistically significant . At the end of the trial , the active drugs were comparable with regard to clinical efficacy . A statistically significant difference was observed between the active drugs and placebo , while no statistically significant difference was observed among the three drugs .

The results demonstrate the clinical efficacy of anti-inflammatory drugs in the treatment of pollen-induced allergic conjunctivitis ; they also suggest the use of NSAIDs in long-term treatment , as their efficacy has been shown to be closely comparable to that of steroids , while avoiding the well-known side-effects of the latter in prolonged treatment ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1885 ] ] } ]

The use of vascularized bone grafts to reconstruct extremity and mandibular defects is now commonplace in reconstructive surgery . Fibula , scapula , iliac crest , rib , and metatarsal as well as the radial forearm osseocutaneous flaps have all been utilized for this purpose . Troublesome spiral fractures of the distal radius are the most common fractures associated with the use of the distal radius as a vascularized bone-graft donor site . This study was proposed to investigate the effect of donor-site bone loss on the strength of the radius under torsional ( rotational ) loading . Previous clinical series and experimental studies have not examined this aspect of distal radius loading after harvesting the bone graft . Fifty pairs of sheep tibiae were utilized in the experiment . Five pairs were used in a pilot study and 45 pairs were used in the main experiment . Five pairs of human radii were used for the control in the pilot study . The pilot study attempted to make a comparison between the human radius and the sheep tibia for experimental purposes . For the biomechanical study of donor-site defects , four study groups were examined with random assignment and matched pairs . The control group ( group 1 ) had no alteration to the bone . Each test condition included five matched pairs of sheep tibiae . Experiment 1 compared the difference in the depth of the osteotomy defect . In doing this , one-third of the total length of the bone was removed in each of the following specimens to include ( 1a ) 30 percent of the cross-sectional area of the total bone , ( 1b ) 37 percent of the cross-sectional area of the total bone , and ( 1c ) 50 percent of the cross-sectional area of the total bone . In experiment 2 , the osteotomy shape was varied . Instead of the ends of the cuts being squared , the ends were beveled or rounded . Experiment 3 compared different lengths of bone removed in the osteotomy defect and included the following : In experiment 3a the diameter of the sheep tibia was measured at the incisura fibularis . This dimension was one diameter of bone , and a one-diameter length of bone was removed . In experiment 3b , a two-diameter length of bone was removed . In experiment 3c , a three-diameter length of bone was removed . In experiment 3d , a four-diameter length of bone was removed . ( ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS )" ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2465 ] ] } ]

[ { "id": "14614", "type": "document", "text": [ "Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intravenous diltiazem in patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter . BACKGROUND Diltiazem , a calcium channel blocker , has been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of patients in atrial fibrillation and/or atrial flutter . However , there have been no pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies of diltiazem in these patients . METHODS AND RESULTS The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intravenous diltiazem were determined in 32 patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter ( mean +/- SD age , 66 +/- 7 years ; mean baseline heart rate , 131 +/- 10 beats per minute ) after 20 mg or 20 mg followed by 25-mg bolus doses and a 10 and 15 mg/hr infusion for 24 hours . After the 10 and 15 mg/hr infusions of diltiazem , mean +/- SD elimination half-life was 6.8 +/- 1.8 and 6.9 +/- 1.5 hours , volume of distribution was 411 +/- 151.8 and 299 +/- 70.8 I , and systemic clearance was 42 +/- 12.4 and 31 +/- 8.3 l/hr , respectively . Percentages of the plasma concentrations of the principal metabolites desacetyldiltiazem and N-desmethyldiltiazem to diltiazem were < 15 % and < 10 % , respectively . Thirty of 32 patients maintained response throughout the 24-hour infusion of diltiazem . Using a sigmoidal Emax pharmacodynamic model , a strong relation ( mean +/- SD r2 , 0.78 +/- 0.2 ) was observed between plasma diltiazem concentration and percent heart rate reduction . Mean +/- SD Emax ( maximum percent reduction in heart rate from baseline ) and EC50 ( plasma diltiazem concentration that achieves half Emax ) were 52 +/- 17 % and 110 +/- 84 ng/ml , respectively . The model predicts that mean plasma diltiazem concentration of 79 , 172 , and 294 ng/ml are required to produce a 20 % , 30 % , and 40 % reduction in heart rate , respectively . A relation between plasma diltiazem concentration and percent change in systolic blood pressure ( SBP ) or diastolic blood pressure ( DBP ) from baseline was not observed ( mean +/- SD r2 , SBP/DBP : 0.35 +/- 0.24/0.36 +/- 0.2 ) . There were no untoward side effects observed . CONCLUSIONS First , the pharmacokinetics of diltiazem in patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter is nonlinear with an apparent dose-dependent decrease in systemic clearance with increasing infusion rate . Second , using a sigmoidal Emax model , there is a strong relation between plasma diltiazem concentration and percent heart rate reduction . Third , the plasma concentrations of the principal metabolites desacetyldiltiazem and N-desmethyldiltiazem are low and are not expected to contribute significantly to the pharmacodynamics of intravenous diltiazem in these patients ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2690 ] ] } ]

A double-blind phase II study of propionyl-L-carnitine ( CAS 17298-37-2 ) versus placebo was carried out on a group of 60 patients with mild to moderate ( II and III NYHA class ) congestive heart failure . The group was made up of men and women aged between 48 and 73 years in chronic treatment with digitalis and diuretics for at least 3 months and who still displayed symptoms .

At basal conditions and after 30 , 90 and 180 days the maximum exercise time was evaluated using an exercise tolerance test performed on an ergometer bicycle and the left ventricular ejection fraction was tested by means of bidimensional echocardiography . After one month of treatment , the patients treated with propionyl-L-carnitine , compared to the control group , showed significant increases in the values of both tests , increases which became even more evident after 90 and 180 days .

AIDS Clinical Trials Group Protocol 021 . BACKGROUND Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia ( PCP ) continues to be the most common index diagnosis in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome ( AIDS ) , but it is not clear which of several available agents is the most effective in preventing a recurrence of PCP . METHODS We conducted a comparative , open-label trial in 310 adults with AIDS who had recently recovered from an initial episode of PCP and had no treatment-limiting toxic effects of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or pentamidine . All the patients were treated with zidovudine and were randomly assigned to receive either 800 mg of sulfamethoxazole and 160 mg of trimethoprim once daily or 300 mg of aerosolized pentamidine administered every four weeks by jet nebulizer . The participants were followed for a median of 17.4 months . RESULTS In the trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole group ( n = 154 ) there were 14 recurrences of PCP , as compared with 36 recurrences ( including 1 extrapulmonary recurrence ) in the aerosolized-pentamidine group ( n = 156 ) . The estimated recurrence rates at 18 months were 11.4 percent with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 27.6 percent with pentamidine ( P < 0.001 ) . The risk of a recurrence ( adjusted for initial CD4 cell count ) was 3.25 times higher in the pentamidine group ( P < 0.001 , 95 percent confidence interval , 1.72 to 6.16 ) . There were no significant differences between the groups in survival or in hematologic or hepatic toxicity . Crossovers from trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole to aerosolized pentamidine were more common than the reverse ( 27 vs. 4 percent ) , partly because of the study protocols for the management of leukopenia . There were 19 serious bacterial infections in the trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole group and 38 in the pentamidine group . The time to a first bacterial infection was significantly greater for those assigned to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole ( P = 0.017 ) . CONCLUSIONS In patients with AIDS who are receiving zidovudine , trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole is more effective than aerosolized pentamidine in conventional doses for the prevention of recurrent pneumocystis infection ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2367 ] ] } ]

BACKGROUND The value of routine administration of intravenous thrombolytic agents during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty ( PTCA ) therapy of acute myocardial infarction ( MI ) has not been determined . Therefore , we prospectively randomized 122 patients with evolving MI to PTCA therapy with or without adjunctive intravenous streptokinase therapy . METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with ECG ST segment elevation who presented within 4 hours of symptom onset , had no contraindication to thrombolytic therapy , and were not in cardiogenic shock were enrolled . They were treated immediately with intravenous heparin ( 10,000 units ) and oral aspirin ( 325 mg ) and randomized to treatment with placebo or streptokinase ( 1.5 M units ) administered intravenously over 30 minutes . Patients then were taken immediately to the catheterization laboratory , and those with suitable coronary anatomy underwent immediate PTCA . Subsequent clinical course , serial radionuclide ventriculography , and 6-month repeat angiography were analyzed . A total of 106 patients were treated with PTCA . Use of PTCA was similar for placebo ( 92 % ) and streptokinase ( 83 % ) groups . Angioplasty was successful in 95 % of patients , with no difference in placebo ( 93 % ) and streptokinase ( 98 % ) groups . Serial radionuclide ventriculography demonstrated no difference in 24-hour ( 52 +/- 12 % versus 50 +/- 12 % ) or 6-week ( 51 +/- 12 % versus 51 +/- 13 % ) ejection fraction values for placebo and streptokinase groups , respectively . Contrast ventriculography demonstrated improvement in immediate ( 54 +/- 12 % ) versus 6-month ( 60 +/- 15 % , p < 0.05 ) values for the overall group . No differences in 6-month values were present ( 58 +/- 15 % versus 62 +/- 15 % , p = NS ) for placebo and streptokinase groups , respectively . Coronary angiography was performed in 75 % of the 90 patients eligible for restudy . Arterial patency was 87 % at 6 months , and coronary restenosis was present in 38 % of patients . No differences in chronic patency or restenosis were detected for the two treatment groups . Although adjunctive intravenous streptokinase therapy did not improve outcome , it did complicate the hospital course . Hospitalization was longer ( 9.3 +/- 5.0 versus 7.7 +/- 4.4 days , p = 0.046 ) and more costly ( $ 25,191 +/- 15,368 versus $ 19,643 +/- 7,250 , p < 0.02 ) . Transfusion rate was higher ( 39 % versus 8 % , p = 0.0001 ) and need for emergency coronary bypass surgery was greater ( 10.3 % versus 1.6 % , p = 0.03 ) for the streptokinase-treated patients . CONCLUSIONS Adjunctive intravenous streptokinase therapy does not enhance early preservation of ventricular function , improve arterial patency rates , or lower restenosis rates after PTCA therapy of acute MI . Hospital course is longer , more expensive , and more complicated . For these reasons , PTCA therapy of acute MI should not be routinely performed with adjunctive intravenous streptokinase therapy ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 3156 ] ] } ]

Acid-base balance and peritoneal membrane longevity are of utmost relevance for pediatric patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis ( PD ) . PD fluids with neutral pH and reduced glucose degradation product contents are considered more biocompatible , because they preserve peritoneal cell functions in vitro . To investigate the clinical effects of a novel PD fluid buffered with 34 mM pure bicarbonate at neutral pH , a randomized , prospective , crossover comparison with conventional , acidic , 35 mM lactate PD fluid was performed for two consecutive 12-wk periods with 28 children ( age , 6 mo to 15 yr ) undergoing automated PD ( APD ) . Blood bicarbonate levels and arterial pH were significantly higher after 3 mo of bicarbonate PD ( 24.6 +/- 2.3 mM and 7.43 +/- 0.06 , respectively ) , compared with lactate PD ( 22.8 +/- 3.9 mM and 7.38 +/- 0.05 , respectively ; P < 0.05 ) . This effect was reversible among patients who returned from bicarbonate to lactate fluid . Low initial pH and young patient age independently predicted increased blood pH during bicarbonate APD . Peritoneal equilibration tests revealed subtle changes in solute transport , with a less steep creatinine equilibration curve during bicarbonate dialysis , suggesting reduced peritoneal vasodilation . The peritoneal release of carcinogen antigen-125 increased twofold during bicarbonate APD ( 29 +/- 15 versus 15 +/- 8 U/ml per 4 h , P < 0.01 ) , which is consistent with recovery of the mesothelial cell layer . This effect was fully reversed when the patients returned to lactate fluid . Effluent carcinogen antigen-125 levels were inversely correlated with peritoneal glucose exposure during lactate but not bicarbonate APD , indicating improved in vivo mesothelial cell tolerance of high-dose glucose with the neutral-pH PD fluid with reduced glucose degradation product content .

AIMS To compare the efficacy and safety of diclofenac-K ( 12.5 mg ) vs paracetamol ( 500 mg ) and placebo given in a flexible dosage regimen to treat pain resulting from extraction of impacted third molar teeth . METHODS This was a 2-day , double-blind , double-dummy , randomized , parallel-group , placebo-controlled study of diclofenac-K ( 12.5 mg ) tablets vs paracetamol ( 500 mg ) tablets and placebo in patients with moderate or severe pain within 8 hours of extraction of impacted third molars . RESULTS After the first 2-tablet dose , patients took on average 2.5 additional tablets of diclofenac-K or 2.4 tablets of paracetamol , almost all as 1-tablet doses . Most placebo patients discontinued by taking rescue medication ( ibuprofen 200 mg ) on the first day . Pain relief after the initial dose of diclofenac-K ( 2 x 12.5 mg ) was superior to placebo ( P < .01 for all efficacy outcomes ) and comparable to paracetamol ( 2 x 500 mg ) . About 30 % of patients in each active treatment group took rescue medication during the study , compared to 78 % on placebo . About 70 % in each active treatment group considered the overall pain relief to be \" some , \" \" a lot , \" or \" complete \" compared to only 15 % on placebo . The incidence of adverse events in each active treatment group was low and comparable between the treatments . CONCLUSION An initial double-dose of diclofenac-K ( 2 x 12.5 mg ) or paracetamol ( 2 x 500 mg ) adequately relieved the most intense postoperative pain , and the flexible multiple dose regimen ( 1 or 2 tablets ) maintained adequate pain relief thereafter .

OBJECTIVE The effect of clinical guidelines on resource utilization for complex conditions with substantial barriers to clinician behavior change has not been well studied . We report the impact of a multifaceted guideline implementation intervention on primary care clinician utilization of radiologic and specialty services for the care of acute low back pain . DESIGN Physician groups were randomized to receive guideline education and individual feedback , supporting patient education materials , both , or neither . The impact on guideline adherence and resource utilization was evaluated during the 12-month period before and after implementation . PARTICIPANTS Fourteen physician groups with 120 primary care physician and associate practitioners from 2 group model HMO practices . INTERVENTIONS Guideline implementation utilized an education/audit/feedback model with local peer opinion leaders . The patient education component included written and videotaped materials on the care of low back pain . MAIN RESULTS The clinician intervention was associated with an absolute increase in guideline-consistent behavior of 5.4 % in the intervention group versus a decline of 2.7 % in the control group ( P =.04 ) . The patient education intervention produced no significant change in guideline-consistent behavior , but was poorly adopted . Patient characteristics including duration of pain , prior history of low back pain , and number of visits during the illness episode were strong predictors of service utilization and guideline-consistent behavior . CONCLUSIONS Implementation of an education and feedback-supported acute low back pain care guideline for primary care clinicians was associated with an increase in guideline-consistent behavior . Patient education materials did not enhance guideline effectiveness . Implementation barriers could limit the utility of this approach in usual care settings ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2030 ] ] } ]

BACKGROUND There is a growing debate about injectable opioid treatment programs in many Western countries . This is the first placebo-controlled study of the safety of injectable opioids in a controlled treatment setting . METHODS Twenty-five opioid-dependent patients on intravenous ( IV ) heroin or IV methadone maintenance treatment were randomly assigned to either their individual prescribed IV maintenance dose or placebo . Acute drug effects were recorded , focusing on electrocardiography , respiratory movements , arterial blood oxygen saturation , and electroencephalography ( EEG ) . RESULTS After heroin injection , marked respiratory depression progressing to a Cheyne-Stokes pattern occurred . Peripheral arterial blood oxygenation decreased to 78.9 +/- 8.7 % ( mean +/- SD ) ranging from 52 % -90 % . During hypoxia , 7 of the 16 subjects experienced intermittent and somewhat severe bradycardia . Five subjects exhibited paroxysmal EEG patterns . After methadone injection , respiratory depression was less pronounced than after heroin injection . No relevant bradycardia was noted . CONCLUSIONS Opioid doses commonly prescribed in IV opioid treatment induce marked respiratory and circulatory depression , as well as occasionally irregular paroxysmal EEG activity . Further studies are needed to optimize the clinical practice of IV opioid treatment to prevent serious complications . Moreover , the extent of the observed effects raises questions about the appropriateness of IV opioid treatment in the present form ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1609 ] ] } ]

Standard methods of myocardial preservation for heart transplantation have generally provided good results . Preservation times beyond 3 hours , however , have been associated with decreased survival . Leukocyte-mediated reperfusion injury is partly responsible for decreased graft function after prolonged graft ischemia . Leukocyte-depleted reperfusion has been shown experimentally to improve cardiac function after cold ischemic arrest . To determine the efficacy and safety of leukocyte-depleted reperfusion , 20 patients were enrolled in a randomized , double-blind clinical trial to be treated with either warm whole blood reperfusion ( group I ; n = 9 ) or warm leukocyte-depleted blood reperfusion ( group II ; n = 11 ) . Reperfusion with leukocyte-depleted blood or whole blood was carried out for 10 minutes , with enriched cardioplegic solution added for the first 3 minutes of reperfusion . The mean donor and recipient age and the ischemic time ( 142 versus 153 minutes ) were not significantly different between the two groups . Coronary sinus release of creatinine phosphokinase-MB 5 minutes after reperfusion was significantly less in group II ( 1.65 EU/min ) than in group I ( 3.83 units/min ; p = 0.05 ) . Thromboxane B2 release was also significantly less ( p = 0.05 ) in group II ( 33.6 pg/min ) than in group I ( 67.0 pg/min ) . All hearts functioned adequately in both groups . The duration of inotropic support was shorter in group II than in group I , but the difference was not statistically significant . Postoperative hemodynamics , rejection episodes , and infectious complications were also not significantly different between groups in a mean follow-up of 9 months . Mean ejection fraction 1 month after operation was 65 % in both groups . One early death occurred at 66 days secondary to infection ; two late deaths occurred in group II , both from rejection . Leukocyte-depleted reperfusion is safe and easily applied in the operating room . Furthermore , leukocyte-depleted reperfusion decreases biochemical evidence of reperfusion injury . Although not influencing postoperative cardiac function when the ischemic time is short , less than 3 hours , leukocyte-depleted reperfusion may prevent significant reperfusion injury and improve posttransplantation graft function when ischemic times are long . Safe extension of the ischemic time would expand the donor pool and allow for better crossmatching ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2544 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVES Prophylactic antibiotics are helpful in decreasing the incidence of septic complications in acute pancreatitis . The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of meropenem , a new carbapenem antibiotic , with that of imipenem , which is the standard prophylactic treatment in patients with severe acute pancreatitis . METHODS One hundred seventy-six patients with necrotizing pancreatitis were prospectively randomized to prophylactic treatment with 0.5 g meropenem t.i.d . intravenously or 0.5 g imipenem q.i.d . intravenously . The occurrence of infection of pancreatic necrosis , rate of extrapancreatic infections , systemic and local complications , need for surgery , mortality rate , and length of hospitalization were recorded for each group . When a septic complication of pancreatic necrosis was suspected , fine needle aspiration with cultures of the sample was performed . Surgery was performed in cases of verified infected necrosis . CONCLUSION No difference was observed between patients treated with meropenem and those treated with imipenem in terms of incidence of pancreatic infection ( 11.4 % versus 13.6 % ) and extrapancreatic infections ( 21.6 % versus 23.9 % ) and clinical outcome .

OBJECTIVES To examine the impact of including a 'no active intervention ' arm ( called 'conservative management ' ) in a randomised controlled trial comparing treatments ( including surgery ) for men with lower urinary tract symptoms related to benign prostatic enlargement . METHODS Outcomes 7.5 months after randomisation were acceptability of randomisation , overall acceptability of and satisfaction with conservative management , impact on quality of life , perceived need for further treatment and treatment failure ( defined a priori ) . RESULTS In total , 177 ( out of 755 ) patients refused randomisation , including 31 % who did not want surgery and 22 % who wanted surgery . Most men randomised to conservative management were willing to undertake it as part of a trial but at the end of the trial they were divided between those who wanted to continue with it and those who expected surgery . At follow-up , 39 % of conservative management patients requested surgery , and interference of symptoms with life and an unsuccessful outcome were more commonly reported in this arm . There were no appreciable differences between treatment groups in terms of treatment failures . CONCLUSIONS Including a 'no active intervention ' arm did not appear to have a detrimental effect on patient recruitment or the completion of this trial in the short-term ; overall , conservative management was successfully completed by the majority of patients during the trial period , suggesting that researchers need not avoid including a no-intervention arm in surgical trials as long as they take care with its presentation ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1735 ] ] } ]

Moreover , the hospital stay was shorter and patient satisfaction was superior in group 1 ( P = 0.001 and P = 0.001 , respectively ) . After 1 week , the pain score and number of intramuscular analgesic injections given were significantly less in group 1 ( P = 0.001 and P = 0.021 ) . CONCLUSION Using MFF after hemorrhoidectomy reduced the severity of pain and intramuscular analgesic requirement ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1513 ] ] } ]
