OBJECTIVES: To characterise risk factors for the acquisition of genital warts and specifically to determine whether condoms confer protection from infection. METHODS: A retrospective case-control study comparing demographic, behavioural, sexual in men women with without newly diagnosed warts, who attended Sydney Sexual Health Centre (SSHC), an inner city public health centre, 1996. Data were extracted SSHC database. Crude odds ratios (OR) calculated compare cases controls significant then...
A double-blind, positively controlled, forced dose titration study comparing the efficacy and safety of atenolol, captopril, verapamil sustained release as single agents in treatment black patients with mild to moderate hypertension (diastolic blood pressure, 95 114 mm Hg) was conducted. total 394 were randomized one three therapies. Mean pressures during a 2- 4-week placebo period (baseline) ranged from 100.4 100.7 Hg diastolic 151.7 152.5 systolic for groups. Of patients, 355 (of whom 345...
Abstract The antihypertensive effect of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor trandolapril administered in doses 1, 2, and 4 mg/d was compared 207 white patients 91 black with mild to moderate hypertension following a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel study design. Trandolapril is prodrug that rapidly hydrolyzed its active diacid metabolite, trandolaprilat. After 6 weeks double-blind treatment, lowered baseline sitting diastolic pressure both patients. A comparison...
Significant hyperkalaemia occurred in 406 out of 29 063 patients admitted to a major Scottish teaching hospital one year (1.4%). Mortality was higher these than control and strongly correlated with the severity hyperkalaemia. Overall seven deaths were directly due (out 58 among hyperkalaemia). Factors contributing poor prognosis speed onset presence appreciable renal impairment. Patients older more likely be male; this trend present all diagnostic subcategories. Genitourinary disease,...
In view of the increasing incidence primary hepatocellular carcinoma in western Europe and concern that this may part be related to long-term use drugs which cause hepatic microsomal enzyme induction, we undertook a comparison drug 105 patients with equal numbers age sex-matched colorectal tumours fractures femur. We found no who were anticonvulsant users only one used oral contraceptives. However, observed four-fold excess diabetic among group carcinoma. This association did not appear due...
To characterize chest compression (CC) pause duration during the last 5 minutes of pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) prior to extracorporeal-CPR (E-CPR) cannulation and association with survival outcomes.Cohort study from a quality collaborative including E-CPR cardiac arrest events ≥ 10 min CPR data. We characterized CC interruptions defibrillator-electrode recorded (prior cannulation) assessed between longest outcomes using multivariable logistic regression.Of 49 events, median...
Out of 2580 medical inpatients included in a drug-surveillance programme, 585 (22.7%) were treated with frusemide. Of these, 123 (21.0%) had total 177 adverse reactions. The most common hypovolaemia (85 cases), hyperuricaemia (54), and hypokalaemia (21). Most reactions mild, only three patients potentially life-threatening effects. incidence increased significantly daily dose, occurring 47 (13.5%) given up to 40 mg, 42 (26.3%) 80 34 (43.6%) over mg (P less than 0.001). There was no clear...
Serum sex hormone binding globulin, thyroxine cortisol globulin and vitamin D together with total levels of the appropriate bound hormones, were determined in 21 epileptic subjects who had been stabilised by long-term anticonvulsant therapy. capacity was higher these patients than control groups (men p less 0.05; women 0.01), values correlated serum phenytoin female (p 0.01). Thyroxine unaffected anticonvulsants, but significant reductions 0.001) triiodothyronine 0.01) observed. Cortisol...
Use of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for treatment heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) remains unacceptably low. The purpose this study was to determine whether a digital health tool can augment GDMT patients HFrEF. Participants ≥ 18 years old symptomatic HFrEF (left ventricular ≤ 40%) and access mobile phone internet were included. given blood pressure cuff, instructed in its use, regular symptom surveys via cell-phone web-link. Data transmitted the Story Health...
Plasma, blood cell, and total body potassium levels were measured serially in 21 patients receiving long-term diuretics for the treatment of cardiac oedema results compared with similar measurements 10 control subjects. Initially, all diuretic recipients received chloride supplements. However, 17 subjects these discontinued status repeated regularly thereafter. No significant fall indicators observed whom was withdrawn; however, one subject persistent failure who presented hypokalaemia this...
Studies have demonstrated a potential role for fecal biomarkers such as calprotectin (FC) and lactoferrin (FL) in monitoring inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) - Crohn's disease (CD) ulcerative colitis (UC). However, their correlation to endoscopic scores, severity affected intestinal surface has not been extensively investigated.To correlate FL, comparison white blood cell (WBC) C-reactive protein (CRP), with extent location CD UC.Retrospective analysis 188 patients who had CRP WBC...
The clearances of inulin and gentamicin were studied before after intravenous furosemide in seven patients. There was a significant fall glomerular filtration rate similar though less marked clearance six the subjects. Small but consistent increases plasma concentrations observed furosemide. reduction may explain enhanced risk nephrotoxicity patients receiving both aminoglycosides diuretics.
Abstract Two patients with chemical pneumonitis secondary to inhalation of an epoxy curing material used in the coating pipes had similar patterns cough, hemoptysis, and dyspnea associated diffuse bilateral alveolar infiltrates shortly following exposure. Pulmonary function studies showed a volume-restrictive defect severe hypoxemia, but elevated diffusing capacity. All lung returned toward normal within 1 month One patient underwent open biopsy which changes consistent nonspecific injury...
OBJECTIVES: To characterize inappropriate shock delivery during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: An international quality improvement collaborative Pediatric Resuscitation Quality [pediRES-Q]. PATIENTS: All IHCA events from 2015 to 2020 the pediRES-Q Collaborative for which and electrocardiogram waveform data were available. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: We analyzed 418 shocks delivered 159 events, with 381 158 at...
Several curious and valuable things are daily found in the mine of antiquities at Portici.
Twenty adult epileptic out-patients who had received anticonvulsant therapy for a mean duration of 15 years were assessed clinical, biochemical, radioisotopic and bone biopsy evidence osteomalacia. Occasional biochemical abnormalities demonstrated but no individual subject was found to have There is increasing cast doubt on the existence strong relationship between drugs This reviewed it concluded that in presence adequate sunlight exposure alone most unlikely lead osteomalacia adults.
