[ { "id": "17337", "type": "document", "text": [ "Chronic fatigue syndrome versus neuroendocrineimmune dysfunction syndrome : differential attributions . Since 1988 , when the term chronic fatigue syndrome ( CFS ) was coined , considerable discussion has occurred about stigma associated with this diagnostic term . In particular , patients with CFS have felt that this term trivializes the serious nature of this disorder . A Name Change Work group , appointed by the CFS Coordinating Committee , developed an umbrella term : chronic neuroendocrineimmune dysfunction syndrome ( CNDS ) , and proposed that there would be sub-types under this term , one being CFS . The present study examined attributions of this new umbrella term when compared with CFS . Nurses and physician assistants ( PAs ) were presented a case study of a patient with symptoms of CFS . They were told that the patient had either \" chronic fatigue syndrome , \" \" chronic neuroendocrineimmune dysfunction syndrome , \" or \" chronic neuroendocrineimmune dysfunction syndrome , which had formerly been called chronic fatigue syndrome . \" The different terms led to different attributions , with PA respondents rating the \" CNDS \" label as more severe . Results suggest that a more medical sounding term ( CNDS ) may lead to attributions that this syndrome is a more serious , disabling illness . The policy implications of these findings are discussed ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1372 ] ] } ]

Peer support has been used effectively in a variety of patient populations , but its effectiveness in improving outcomes in persons with chronic heart failure has not been explored . We trained 9 persons with heart failure to mentor other heart failure patients and tested the effectiveness of this approach in a randomized controlled clinical trial . A low proportion ( 37 % ) of the eligible population of hospitalized patients agreed to participate . At the end of the 3-month trial , there was significantly higher heart failure self-care in the intervention group ( P < .05 ) . The only difference in social support was a significant decline in perceived support reciprocity in the intervention group ( F = 5.94 , P = .004 ) . No significant group differences in heart failure readmissions , length of stay , or cost were evident at 90-days , although the heart failure readmission rate was 96 % higher in the intervention group when compared to that in the control group . The reasons for low overall enrollment and high readmission rates in the intervention group require further study . Including additional self-care education by a professional , rather than leaving all the education to the mentor , could strengthen the peer support intervention trialed in this study . Small group meetings may be less intrusive and more desirable for this patient population ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1457 ] ] } ]

[ { "id": "17360", "type": "document", "text": [ "Mandibular overdentures supported by two Brånemark , IMZ or ITI implants : a 5-year prospective study . OBJECTIVES The aim of this prospective comparative study was to evaluate the survival rate and the condition of the peri-implant tissues of the IMZ implant system ( two-stage cylindertype ) , the Brånemark implant system ( two-stage screwtype ) and the ITI implant system ( one-stage screwtype ) supporting a mandibular overdenture during a 5-year follow-up period . MATERIAL AND METHODS Three groups of 30 edentulous patients were treated with two endosseous implants in the interforaminal region of the mandible . Clinical and radiographic parameters were evaluated immediately after completion of the prosthetic treatment and after 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 and 5 years of functional loading . RESULTS The five-year survival rate is 98.3 % for the IMZ group , 98.3 % for the Brå group and 100 % for the ITI group . Mean scores on indices for plaque , calculus , gingiva and bleeding were very low at all evaluation periods . Mean marginal bone loss over a period of 5 years , was 1.4 mm for the IMZ group , 0.7 mm for the Brå group and 0.9 mm for the ITI group . CONCLUSION It is concluded that two implants placed in the interforaminal region , connected with a bar , supply a proper base for the support of a mandibular overdenture in the edentulous patient . After 5 years no clinically relevant and statistically significant radiographic changes had developed between the three implant systems ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1494 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of danazol and triptorelin ( Decapeptyl CR , Ferring , Kiel , Germany ) in the management of moderate and severe endometriosis in terms of symptom control and revised American Fertility Society ( AFS ) score reduction , and to evaluate the hormonal profile of patients treated with triptorelin every 6 weeks . DESIGN Open and randomized trial . SETTING Kwong Wah Hospital , a large public hospital in an urban location ( Hong Kong ) . PATIENT ( S ) Forty patients after their first conservative operation for endometriosis , with surgical confirmation of revised AFS stage III or IV endometriosis . INTERVENTION ( S ) Postoperative 6 months ' therapy of danazol or triptorelin every 6 weeks , postmedical therapy second-look laparoscopy . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE ( S ) Symptom control and patients ' tolerance during medical therapy , posttherapy revised AFS score , hormonal profile during triptorelin therapy . RESULT ( S ) Pain control was similar between danazol and triptorelin therapy . There was less breakthrough bleeding with triptorelin . More patients failed to complete the whole course of danazol because of its side effects . The revised AFS score at second-look laparoscopy did not show a significant difference between the two medications . Adequate pituitary suppression was observed with injection of triptorelin every 6 weeks . CONCLUSION ( S ) Lengthening of triptorelin administration intervals from 4 weeks to 6 weeks is effective in maintaining a hypoestrogenic state . Patients were more compliant with triptorelin than danazol . Thus , triptorelin injection every 6 weeks is more cost-effective than conventional regimens ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1860 ] ] } ]

[ { "id": "17403", "type": "document", "text": [ "Brain activity correlates differentially with increasing temporal complexity of rhythms during initialisation , synchronisation , and continuation phases of paced finger tapping . Activity in parts of the human motor system has been shown to correlate with the complexity of performed motor sequences in terms of the number of limbs moved , number of movements , and number of trajectories . Here , we searched for activity correlating with temporal complexity , in terms of the number of different intervals produced in the sequence , using an overlearned tapping task . Our task was divided into three phases : movement selection and initiation ( initiate ) , synchronisation of finger tapping with an external auditory cue ( synchronise ) , and continued tapping in absence of the auditory pacer ( continue ) . Comparisons between synchronisation and continuation showed a pattern in keeping with prior neuroimaging studies of paced finger tapping . Thus , activation of bilateral SMA and basal ganglia was greater in continuation tapping than in synchronisation tapping . Parametric analysis revealed activity correlating with temporal complexity during initiate in bilateral supplementary and pre-supplementary motor cortex ( SMA and preSMA ) , rostral dorsal premotor cortex ( PMC ) , basal ganglia , and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex ( DLPFC ) , among other areas . During synchronise , correlated activity was observed in bilateral SMA , more caudal dorsal and ventral PMC , right DLPFC and right primary motor cortex . No correlated activity was observed during continue at P < 0.01 ( corrected , cluster level ) , though left angular gyrus was active at P < 0.05 . We suggest that the preSMA and rostral dorsal PMC activities during initiate may be associated with selection of timing parameters , while activation in centromedial prefrontal cortex during both initiate and synchronise may be associated with temporal error monitoring or correction . The absence of activity significantly correlated with temporal complexity during continue suggests that , once an overlearned timed movement sequence has been selected and initiated , there is no further adjustment of the timing control processes related to its continued production in absence of external cues ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2274 ] ] } ]

In this study the human glyceryltrinitrate ( GTN ) model of migraine was for the first time used to test the effect of a prophylactic drug . We chose to test valproate due to its well documented effect as a migraine prophylactic drug . Efficacy of this compound would support the usefulness of the model in prophylactic antimigraine drug development . Twelve patients with migraine without aura were included in a randomized double blind crossover study . Valproate 1000 mg or placebo was given daily , each for a minimum of 13 days . On the last treatment day of each arm a 20 min intravenous infusion of GTN ( 0.25 microg/kg/min ) was given . Headache was registered for 12 h after the infusion and headache intensity was scored on a scale from 0 to 10 . Fulfillment of IHS criteria was recorded for 24 h. The middle cerebral arteries were evaluated by transcranial Doppler and the diameter of the superficial temporal and radial arteries were measured with high frequency ultrasound . GTN evoked migraine fulfilling IHS criteria 1.1 in 6 patients after placebo and in 2 patients after valproate ( P = 0.125 ) . Including additionally 3 patients on placebo and 1 patient on valproate who felt they had suffered a migraine attack , but who had as associated symptoms only photophobia or phonophobia , a significant reduction in the number of patients with induced migraine after valproate was seen ( P = 0.031 ) . Median peak headache intensity was 1 ( range 0-9 ) after valproate compared to 4.5 ( range 0-8 ) after placebo ( P = 0.120 ) . Pretreatment with valproate as compared to placebo reduced the velocity in both middle cerebral arteries after GTN ( left P = 0.021 , right P = 0.031 ) . No effect of valproate was seen in the diameter of the superficial temporal artery ( P = 0.781 ) or the radial artery ( P = 0.367 ) before or after GTN . The study indicates that a prophylactic effect of valproate may be demonstrated using the GTN human migraine model . Although , all headache parameters were reduced after valproate compared to placebo , only one parameter was statistically significantly reduced probably because of the small number of patients . The size of the effect was similar to that of valproate in clinical trials .

OBJECTIVE To determine whether lower rates or incomplete resection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia ( CIN ) may be achieved by needle excision of the transformation zone ( NETZ ) than with loop excision ( LLETZ ) . DESIGN A prospective randomised controlled trial . SETTING A gynaecological oncology centre and a teaching hospital in West London . POPULATION Four hundred and four women due to receive treatment for suspected CIN . METHODS Women were randomised to receive either LLETZ or NETZ . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The study was designed to demostrate a difference in the proportion of women with clear histological margins of 82 % for LLETZ compared to 94 % for NETZ with 90 % power at a 5 % significance level , allowing for absence of CIN in the treatment specimen in 15 % . RESULTS Four randomised women were excluded from the analysis , as they were ineligible for the study . Three hundred and forty-seven ( 87 % ) had CIN in the treatment specimen and could be included in the analysis of excision margins . More women in the NETZ arm had clear histological margins ( 84.8 % vs 75 % , ( P= 0.03 ) . The median volume of specimens in the NETZ arm was 739 mm ( 3 ) larger ( P= 0.33 ) and they were less likely to be removed in multiple pieces ( 2.5 % vs 29.5 % , RR 0.09 , 95 % CI 0.04 to 0.20 ) . Needle excision took longer to perform ( median treatment time 210 vs 90 seconds , P < 0.0001 ) and surgeons more often reported the procedure as 'difficult ' ( 9.5 % vs 3.0 % , RR = 3.17 % , 95 % CI 1.33 to 7.58 ) .

[ { "id": "17496", "type": "document", "text": [ "Chemotherapy for patients with non-small cell lung cancer : the surgical setting of the Big Lung Trial . OBJECTIVES The non-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC ) meta-analysis suggested a survival benefit for cisplatin-based chemotherapy when given in addition to surgery , radical radiotherapy or 'best supportive care ' . However , it included many small trials and trials with differing eligibility criteria and chemotherapy regimens . The aim of the Big Lung Trial was therefore to run a large pragmatic trial to confirm the survival benefits seen in the meta-analysis . METHODS In the surgery setting , a total of 381 patients were randomised to chemotherapy ( C , 192 patients ) or no chemotherapy ( NoC , 189 patients ) . C was three 3-weekly cycles of cisplatin/vindesine , mitomycin/ifosfamide/cisplatin , mitomycin/vinblastine/cisplatin or vinorelbine/cisplatin . RESULTS Chemotherapy was given before surgery in 3 % of patients whilst 97 % received adjuvant chemotherapy . Baseline characteristics were : median age 61 years , 69 % male , 48 % squamous cell , 93 % WHO PS 0-1 , 27 % stage I , 38 % stage II , and 34 % stage III . Complete resection was achieved in approximately 95 % of patients . In the C group , 13 % received no chemotherapy , 21 % one or two cycles , and 64 % all three cycles of their prescribed chemotherapy ( 60 % of the latter with no delays or modification ) . 30 % had grade 3/4 toxicity , mainly haematological , nausea/vomiting and neutropenic fever , and six patients were reported as having a treatment-related death . 198 ( 52 % ) of patients have died , but there is currently no evidence of a benefit in overall survival to the C group : HR 1.02 ( 95 % CI 0.77-1.35 ) , P = 0.90 ) . CONCLUSIONS This trial has failed to observe a survival benefit with adjuvant chemotherapy following complete resection of stage I-III NSCLC . However , the hazard ratio and 95 % confidence intervals are consistent with the previously reported meta-analysis and two large recently reported trials , which suggest a small survival benefit with cisplatin-based chemotherapy ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2096 ] ] } ]

AIMS Adenosine monophosphate ( AMP ) acts indirectly via primed airway mast cells to induce bronchial hyper-responsiveness , which in turn correlates with eosinophilic asthmatic inflammation and atopic disease expression . We evaluated single and short-term dosing effects of a modern histamine H1-receptor antagonist , levocetirizine , given at the usual clinically recommended dose , on the primary outcome of AMP bronchoprovocation . METHODS Fifteen atopic asthmatics were randomized in double-blind , cross-over fashion to receive for 1 week either levocetirizine 5 mg or placebo . There was a 1-week washout period prior to each randomized treatment . The provocative concentration of AMP producing a 20 % fall in FEV1 ( PC20 ) was measured after each washout at baseline and at 4-6 h following the first and last doses of each randomized treatment . RESULTS Baseline mean +/- SEM values after washout prior to each randomized treatment comparing levocetirizine vs placebo were not significantly different for prechallenge FEV1 ( % predicted ) 83 +/- 4 vs 82 +/- 4 , or AMP PC20 ( mg ml ( -1 ) ) 45 +/- 24 vs 45 +/- 22 , respectively .

BACKGROUND Pioglitazone and glimepiride improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by different mechanisms . Pioglitazone is a thiazolidinedione that reduces insulin resistance , and glimepiride is a sulfonylurea insulin secretagogue . OBJECTIVE The goals of this study were to compare changes in measures of glycemic control and insulin sensitivity in Mexican patients with type 2 diabetes who received pioglitazone or glimepiride for 1 year . METHODS This was a multicenter , 52-week , double-blind , parallel-group trial . Patients were randomized to receive monotherapy with either glimepiride ( 2 mg QD initially ) or pioglitazone ( 15 mg QD initially ) . Doses were titrated ( maximal doses : pioglitazone 45 mg , glimepiride 8 mg ) to achieve glycemic targets ( fasting blood glucose < or =7 mmol/L and 1-hour postprandial blood glucose < or =10 mmol/L ) . Insulin sensitivity ( primary end point ) was evaluated in terms of the Homeostasis Model Assessment for Insulin Sensitivity ( HOMA-S ) , the Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index ( QUICKI ) , and fasting serum insulin ( FSI ) concentrations . Glycemic control was evaluated in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin ( HbA ( 1c ) ) values and fasting plasma glucose ( FPG ) concentrations . Patients were encouraged to maintain their individual diet and exercise regimens throughout the study . RESULTS Two hundred forty-four patients ( 125 women , 119 men ; all but 1 Hispanic ) were randomized to receive pioglitazone ( n = 121 ) or glimepiride ( n = 123 ) . In the intent-to-treat sample , pioglitazone and glimepirede produced comparable reductions in HbA ( 1c ) from baseline to the end of the study ( -0.78 % and -0.68 % , respectively ) . The pioglitazone group had significantly higher HbA ( 1c ) values compared with the glimepiride group after 12 weeks of therapy ( 8.66 % vs 7.80 % ; P = 0.007 ) but had significantly lower values after 52 weeks ( 7.46 % vs 7.77 % ; P = 0.027 ) . Pioglitazone significantly reduced FPG compared with glimepiride ( -0.6 vs 0.6 mmol/L ; P = 0.01 ) . Pioglitazone therapy was associated with significant increases in insulin sensitivity ( reduced insulin resistance ) , whereas glimepiride had no effect . HOMA-S values changed 18.0 % for pioglitazone and -7.9 % for glimepiride ( P < 0.001 ) , QUICKI values changed a respective 0.013 and -0.007 ( P < 0.001 ) , and FSI values were -21.1 and 15.1 pmol/L ( P < 0.001 ) . Both drugs were well tolerated , with pioglitazone associated with more peripheral edema ( number of treatment-emergent cases : 35/121 [ 28.9 % ] vs 17/123 [ 13.8 % ] ; P = 0.005 ) and fewer hypoglycemic episodes ( 19 [ 15.7 % ] vs 38 [ 30.9 % ] ; P = 0.024 ) . The incidence of weight gain was not significantly different between treatment groups . CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that long-term treatment with pioglitazone enhances insulin sensitivity relative to glimepiride in Mexican patients with type 2 diabetes and that pioglitazone may have a more sustained antihyperglycemic effect ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 3247 ] ] } ]

Implant rupture is a well-known complication of breast implant surgery that can pass unnoticed by both patient and physician . To date , no prospective study has addressed the possible health implications of silicone breast implant rupture . The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether untreated ruptures are associated with changes over time in magnetic resonance imaging findings , serologic markers , or self-reported breast symptoms . A baseline magnetic resonance imaging examination was performed in 1999 on 271 women who were randomly chosen from a larger cohort of women having cosmetic breast implants for a median period of 12 years ( range , 3 to 25 years ) . A follow-up magnetic resonance imaging examination was carried out in 2001 , excluding women who underwent explantation in the period between the two magnetic resonance imaging examinations ( n = 44 ) . On the basis of these examinations , the authors identified 64 women who had at least one ruptured implant at the first magnetic resonance imaging examination and , for comparison , all women who had intact implants at both examinations ( n = 98 ) . Magnetic resonance images from the two examinations were compared and changes in rupture configuration were evaluated . Comparisons were also made for self-reported breast symptoms occurring during the study period and for changes in serum values of antinuclear antibodies , rheumatoid factor , and cardiolipin antibodies immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M. The majority of the women with implant rupture had no visible magnetic resonance imaging changes of their ruptured implants . For 11 implants ( 11 percent ) in 10 women , the authors observed progression of silicone seepage , either as a conversion from intracapsular into extracapsular rupture ( n = 7 ) , as progression of extra-capsular silicone ( n = 3 ) , or as increasing herniation of the silicone within the fibrous capsule ( n = 1 ) ; however , in most cases , these changes were minor . Some changes could be ascribed to trauma , but others seemed spontaneous . There was no increase in levels of autoantibodies during the study period in either study group . Women with untreated implant ruptures reported a significant increase in nonspecific breast changes ( odds ratio , 2.1 ; 95 percent confidence interval , 1.2 to 3.8 ) compared with women without ruptures . On the basis of this first study of women with untreated silicone breast implant rupture , the authors conclude that implant rupture is a relatively harmless condition , which only rarely progresses and gives rise to notable symptoms . Even so , because of a small risk of silicone spread , the authors suggest that women with implant ruptures be followed clinically , if not operated on . Because implant ruptures often occur asymptomatically , any woman with silicone implants , regardless of rupture status , should be evaluated at regular intervals ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2968 ] ] } ]

PURPOSE To determine the effect of intravenously administered histamine on both retinal and choroidal blood flow in humans . METHODS A randomized , double-masked , two-way crossover study was performed in 14 healthy volunteers . Placebo or histamine was administered intravenously in stepwise increasing doses ( 0.08 microg/kg/min , 0.16 microg/kg/min , and 0.32 microg/kg/min ) . Retinal vessel diameters were measured with a retinal vessel analyzer , and retinal venous blood speed was assessed by bi-directional laser Doppler velocimetry . Using these parameters retinal blood flow was calculated . Subfoveal and pulsatile choroidal blood flow were measured with laser Doppler flowmetry and laser interferometry , respectively . RESULTS After infusion of histamine pulsatile choroidal blood flow increased by 5 +/- 3 % , 9 +/- 8 % , and 14 +/- 7 % ( P = 0.001 , ANOVA ) and subfoveolar choroidal blood flow by 8 +/- 11 % , 13 +/- 11 % , and 13 +/- 12 % ( P = 0.003 , ANOVA ) .

BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation is a widely used , cost-intensive procedure . Our purpose was to estimate costs and determine cost predictors . METHODS We used data from a prospective French study comparing four doses of immunoglobulins . Resource use of hematopoietic stem-cell transplant recipients during the first 6 months posttransplant , both inpatient and ambulatory costs , in 85 patients from five centers were collected prospectively and costed . Baseline data and clinical events were retrieved . Protocol-driven costs were excluded . Multivariable analysis evaluated the association between costs and patient 's pretransplant status and transplant-related complications . Because of the absence of differences in outcome among the four randomization groups , cost data for all patients were pooled . RESULTS Total costs per patient were the following : mean 76,237 Euros ; standard deviation 32,565 Euros ; median 69,516 Euros ; range 183,758 to 14,761Euros . The major cost driver was hospital days . No association was found between costs and baseline status . The \" predictors \" of higher costs ( adding an average 20,000 Euros/patient ) were the occurrence of transplant-related complications : graft-versus-host disease and repeated infections that were unpredictable before transplant in this homogeneous group of patients .

[ { "id": "17684", "type": "document", "text": [ "Retroinfusion-supported stenting in high-risk patients for percutaneous intervention and bypass surgery : results of the prospective randomized myoprotect I study . The objective of this study was to assess event-free survival and total treatment costs of retroinfusion-supported stenting in high-risk patients compared to bypass surgery . An increasing number of patients with main-stem and main-stem-equivalent stenosis are treated by stent implantation , which appears to be safe in the short-term follow-up . However , there is a lack of randomized studies comparing conventional bypass surgery with stent implantation , particularly in patients with high risk for both treatments . We here report on the 1-year results of a prospective randomized single-center study in patients with symptomatic main-stem and main-stem-equivalent lesions with substantially increased risk for bypass surgery . Patients where randomized to undergo either percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty/stent procedure ( n = 23 ) or bypass surgery ( n = 21 ) . Patients randomized to stent implantation were supported by selective pressure-regulated retroinfusion of the anterior cardiac vein during ischemia . Patients of the stent group and the bypass group did not differ in baseline characteristics , including Parsonnet score and quality-of-life score . Twenty-eight-day mortality and 1-year mortality rate as well as quality-of-life scores were similar in both groups . Event-free survival after 1 year was higher in the bypass group ( 71.4 % vs. 52.3 % ; P = 0.02 ) due to a lower target lesion revascularization rate . With regard to total treatment costs , however , the stent group compared favorably to the bypass group ( 9,346 +/- 807 vs. 26,874 +/- 3,985 euro ) , predominantly as a result of a shorter intensive care and hospital stay . In this first randomized study in high-risk patients for stent implantation and bypass surgery , patients with retroinfusion-supported stent implantation had a similar 1-year outcome and quality of life compared to patients with bypass surgery . Though in the stent group event-free survival was lower and target lesion revascularization rate was higher , retroinfusion-supported stent implantation was associated with substantially lower costs and might be considered as an alternative treatment option in this selected group of high-risk patients ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2388 ] ] } ]

According to cognitive behavioural models of social phobia , bodily symptoms are the main source of information concerning social evaluation for social phobics .

A total of 32 social phobics and 32 controls were asked twice to sit in a chair and appear relaxed while being evaluated . Half of the participants heard their heart sounds first via headphones and then via loudspeakers which were also audible to observers . The presentation order of the heart sound was reversed for the other half of the subjects . Social phobics reported substantially more anxiety than controls . Both groups showed habituation in heart rate from the first to the second presentation , and both groups reported perception of a higher heart rate , but only social phobics reported significantly more anxiety and were more worried about their heart rates in the public than in the private condition . These effects were in excess of actual heart rate differences . In conclusion , social phobics worried about the broadcast of a bodily anxiety symptom , whereas controls did not .

[ { "id": "17804", "type": "document", "text": [ "Registration accuracy of 153Gd transmission images of the brain . PURPOSE The aim of the study was to determine the accuracy of non-rigid nine-parameter image registrations based on 153Gd transmission computed tomography ( TCT ) images as compared with those based on 99mTc-ethyl cysteinate dimer ( ECD ) images and to assess whether normalised mutual information ( NMI ) or count difference ( CD ) should be used . METHODS TCT and ECD data were acquired in 25 randomly selected patients . Emission images were registered to an ECD template with a CD cost function . The same registration parameters were applied to the transmission images to create a TCT template . All TCT images were registered to the TCT template and the same registration parameters were applied to the ECD images . The procedure was repeated with NMI as cost function . Accuracy of both ECD-based and TCT-based registrations was assessed by comparing the normalisation parameter values and regional activities in the spatially normalised ECD images , using a mixed-model analysis of variance ( ANOVA ) . Scheffe post hoc tests were performed . RESULTS No significant differences were found between ECD/CD , ECD/NMI and TCT/CD , suggesting that ECD registration can be done with either CD or NMI , and that TCT registration using CD is equally as accurate as ECD registration . The accuracy of TCT registration with NMI was lower , with discrepancies occurring in the frontal inferior region and the cerebellum . The analysis of normalisation parameters indicated that z-scaling is underestimated and yz-rotation overestimated with TCT/NMI registration . CONCLUSION We conclude that ECD registrations with CD or NMI are as accurate as TCT registrations with CD and that TCT registrations with NMI should be avoided ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1788 ] ] } ]

PURPOSE Tipless stone baskets facilitate caliceal calculi extraction during flexible ureteroscopy . We evaluated the stone capture rate of 9 commercially available tipless stone baskets in an in vitro model using novice and expert operators . MATERIALS AND METHODS The Microvasive Zerotip ( 2.4Fr , 3.0Fr ) , Cook N-Circle ( 2.2Fr , 3.0Fr , 3.2Fr ) , Bard Dimension ( 3.0Fr , Sacred Heart Medical Halo ( 1.9Fr ) , Vantage ( 1.9Fr ) and Circon-ACMI Sur-Catch-NT ( 3.0Fr ) were tested by 3 novice and 3 experienced basket operators . Each operator performed stone extraction of 2 , 5 and 8 mm calculi ( size determined by digital caliper with 3 repetitions of each basket . The time to extraction of the calculus from a convex based test tube caliceal model was recorded . Statistical analysis was performed using repeated measures ANOVA and Fisher 's pairwise comparisons . RESULTS After a learning curve of 27 basket retrievals , there was no significant difference in stone capture times between novice ( 38 +/- 54 seconds ) and expert operators ( 32 +/- 49 seconds , p = 0.174 ) . For total stone capture ( all sizes ) the Sacred Heart Halo resulted in the most rapid stone extraction ( 17 +/- 14 seconds ) by novices and experts , while the Sur-Catch NT resulted in the slowest stone extraction ( 78 +/- 90 , seconds , p = 0.001 ) . The Halo ( 14 +/- 9 seconds ) and Vantage ( 19 +/- 12 seconds ) baskets were significantly faster for 2 mm calculi than the N-Circle ( 73 +/- 60 seconds , p = 0.006 ) , Sur-Catch ( 169 +/- 85 seconds , p = 0.0005 ) and Dimension ( 73 +/- 70 seconds , p = 0.017 ) . The Zerotip functioned well for 2 mm calculi in the hands of expert operators ( 15 +/- 9 seconds ) but not novice operators ( 94 +/- 95 seconds ) . The Sur-Catch NT was significantly slower for 2 mm calculi than the N-Circle ( p = 0.01 ) , Dimension ( p =.03 ) , Halo ( p =.0005 ) , Vantage ( p =.001 ) and Zerotip ( p =.002 ) . For 5 mm calculi the Halo was superior ( 12 +/- 8 seconds ) , while the Zerotip were superior for 8 mm calculi ( 8 +/- 3 seconds ) compared to the N-Circle ( 23 +/- 28 seconds , p = 0.026 ) , Halo ( 26 +/- 18 seconds , p = 0.021 ) and Vantage ( 23 +/- 15 seconds , p = 0.006 ) . CONCLUSIONS The Sacred Heart Halo and Vantage baskets resulted in the most expeditious stone extraction , especially for 2 to 5 mm calculi while the Microvasive Zerotip was optimal for 8 mm calculi . The Sur-Catch NT had the slowest stone capture rate for all stone sizes .

AIM To evaluate two simplified Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment alternatives for children and adolescents . METHODS Study subjects were identified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunoblot in a family screening project . Helicobacter pylori infected 10-21 year olds were offered treatment , individuals with abdominal pain underwent upper endoscopy and those with peptic ulcers were excluded . Participants were randomized to either azithromycin 500 mg daily and tinidazole 500 mg two tablets daily in combination with lansoprasole 30 mg daily for 6 days ( ATL-group ) or with placebo ( ATP-group ) . Urea Breath Test was performed at inclusion and after a minimum of 6 weeks after end of therapy . RESULTS In total , 131 individuals were randomized , of whom 31 ( 24 % ) had undergone upper endoscopy . Full compliance was achieved in 93 % ( 122 of 131 ) .

AIM During the last decade laparoscopic techniques have been applied to the treatment of inguinal hernia to combine tension-free technique , esthetic , and functional benefits of mini-invasive surgery . Anyway controversy persists regarding the most effective inguinal hernia repair . The aim of this study is to compare the open technique and the laparoscopic approach concerning : complications , recurrences , recovery time and return to usual activity . METHODS A randomized prospective analysis of 121 consecutive inguinal hernia repairs was performed over a 12-month period . Male well-informed patients with primary monolateral inguinal hernia ( ASA I-II ) were divided into 2 groups and consecutively treated ; group A was treated with laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal approach ( TAPP ) ( median age 47+/-7 years , 57 patients ) , group B with open mesh herniorrhaphy ( 45+/-6 years , 64 patients ) . RESULTS Complication rate was 5.26 % for group A ( none needed conversion ) and 4.68 % for group B . All complications were considered minor . No recurrences were observed over a 12-month follow-up in both groups . Post-operative hospital stay and return to activity show statistically significant differences . Median post-hospital stay was 1.7 days for group A while it was longer ( 2.9 days ) for group B . Significant difference was observed in the duration of convalescence too ( group A 9.3+/-7.2 days ; group B 12.1+/-7 . 1 days ) .

PURPOSE The topical medication represents the first line therapy for the primary open angle glaucoma . The study is aimed at assessing the structural and immunohistochemical changes of conjunctiva induced by topical glaucoma medication . METHODS For this purpose , we carried out a 40 weeks , prospective , experimental , epidemiological-operational and randomized study enrolling 18 patients ( 36 eyes ) with recently primary open angle glaucoma . The eyes were divided into treatment ( non-selective beta blockers or selective , prostaglandin analogues , topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors ) in four groups . The assessment was performed by comparison with control group ( 4 patients ) who was instilled with natural tears ( with different preservative ) . Both the cytology and the conjunctival biopsy specimens were investigated by histological exams and immunohistochemistry using different monoclonal antibodies . The study was performed by collaboration with The National Institute of Research and Development in Pathology and Biomedical Sciences- \" V. Babes \" -Bucharest . RESULTS The morphometric analysis of histological sections of conjunctiva showed the following changes : squamous metaplasia ( significant increases in the thickness and number of epithelial cell layers ) , inflammation ( increase the number of lymphocytes , macrophages and fibroblasts ) and subconjunctival fibrosis . According to the type of medication , we observed the significant increase of subepithelial collagen density and degenerative changes of fibrocytes , the reduction of extracellular matrix and also the up-regulation of antibodies against matrix metalloproteinase and allergic changes . According to structural changes , the immunohistochemistry confirmed the tendency of chronic inflammation . CONCLUSIONS This study revealed important structural and immunohistochemical changes of conjunctiva after topical glaucoma medication . The category and the intensity of these changes are dependent on the sort of therapy and the topical treatment period . The findings showed that benzalkonium chloride ( the most common preservative of antiglaucoma drugs ) is a major factor for conjunctival metaplasia ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2305 ] ] } ]

BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis ( CRS ) is a common disease that has a significant impact on quality of life ( QOL ) . The aim of this study was to evaluate the longer-term effects of combined medical and surgical therapy for CRS on overall health status and QOL . METHODS We used a prospective study that utilized the Short-Form 36 Survey at baseline presentation and at a mean time of 3 years post-functional endoscopic sinus surgery to assess the general health status of patients who presented for their initial visitfrom 1996 to 1998 . Of the 200 randomly selected patients , 150 respondents completed follow-up surveys ( a 75 % response rate ) . RESULTS Eighty-nine ( 59.3 % ) women and 61 ( 40.7 % ) men were included in the study . Baseline QOL scores indicated significant differences between patients with CRS and published norms in 6/8 subscale parameters ( role physical , bodily pain , general health , social function , vitality , and mental health ) . Significant improvement in all six categories was maintained at the end of the study period ( p < 0.05 ) with QOL scores within limits of published norms for the general population .

The primary objective of the present randomized phase III trial was to compare the 3-yr survival rate of patients treated with standard fractionated radiotherapy ( RT ) alone or with the same RT concomitantly with cisplatin ( DDP ) or carboplatin ( Cb ) . From January 1995 until July 1999 , 124 patients with histologically proven locally advanced non-nasopharyngeal head and neck cancer ( HNC ) were randomized to receive either RT monotherapy ( 70 Gy , Group A ) or the same RT concomitantly with DDP ( 100 mg/m2 on d 2 , 22 , 42 , Group B ) or Cb ( 7 AUC on d 2 , 22 , 42 , Group C ) . There were no significant differences in complete response rates between patients treated with RT alone or combined chemoradiotherapy . However , median time to progression ( TTP ) and overall survival ( OS ) were significantly longer in patients treated with concomitant chemoradiotherapy . Thus , median TTP was 6.3 , 45.2 , and 17.7 mo in groups A , B , and C respectively ( p = 0.0002 ) . Similarly , median OS was 12.2 , 48.6 , and 24.5 mo , respectively ( p = 0.0003 ) . At 3 yr follow-up , 17.5 % of patients in group A were alive compared to 52 % in group B and 42 % in group C ( p < 0.001 ) . Patients treated with concomitant chemoradiotherapy experienced more frequently severe hematological toxicity . Also , severe nausea/vomiting was more pronounced in group B , as expected .

BACKGROUND Despite recent advances in interventional cardiology , including the introduction of drug-eluting stents for de novo coronary lesions , the treatment of in-stent restenosis ( ISR ) remains a challenging clinical issue . Given the efficacy of systemic sirolimus administration to prevent neointimal hyperplasia in animal models and to halt and even reverse the progression of allograft vasculopathy , the aim of the present double-blind , placebo-controlled study was to evaluate the efficacy of a 10-day oral sirolimus treatment with 2 different loading regimens for the prevention of recurrent restenosis in patients with ISR . METHODS AND RESULTS Three hundred symptomatic patients with ISR were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment arms : placebo or usual-dose or high-dose sirolimus . Patients received a cumulative loading dose of 0 , 8 , or 24 mg of sirolimus 2 days before and the day of repeat intervention followed by maintenance therapy of 2 mg/d for 7 days . Angiographic restenosis at 6-month angiography was the primary end point of the study . Restenosis was significantly reduced from 42.2 % to 38.6 % and to 22.1 % in the placebo , usual-dose , and high-dose sirolimus groups , respectively ( P=0.005 ) . Similarly , the need for target vessel revascularization was reduced from 25.5 % to 24.2 % and to 15.2 % in the placebo , usual-dose , and high-dose groups , respectively ( P=0.08 ) .

The aim of the study was to compare psychosocial outcomes for 50 new clinic attendees , referred for cancer genetic counselling to five UK centres . The centres represented England , Scotland and Wales , and were randomly selected from groups ranked by different levels of clinical activity in cancer genetics practice . Questionnaires assessed demographic data , risk perception , mental health and use of health services pre-consultation and at 1 and 12 months follow-up . Satisfaction was measured for attendees and referring doctors at follow-up . A total of 256 unaffected adults fulfilled the study criteria . The five centres varied widely with respect to service organisation and activity , but all had a greater proportion of unaffected attendees with a breast cancer risk ( 61-91 % ) than either a bowel cancer risk ( 0-33 % ) or ovarian cancer risk ( 3-25 % ) . There were no significant differences in the psychosocial data between centres pre-counselling . No significant change over time occurred for any of the centres for risk perception or general psychological distress . There were significant differences between centres in reduction of cancer worry from baseline to 12 months and with the number of women who were recommended to have mammographic surveillance who had not received this . Overall , one-third of women for whom mammography had been recommended had not been screened within 1 year of follow-up . Subsequent attendance at the GP , but not at a hospital , was associated with risk level , but differences between centres could not be analysed . Satisfaction differed significantly between centres for 4 : 14 aspects of service provision and with 3 : 17 items concerning communication ; satisfaction was high overall . Over 90 % of referring doctors were moderately/very satisfied with the service , but 23 % were dissatisfied with waiting times and 19 % with access to preventive treatment . Results differed significantly between centres for doctor 's satisfaction with the provision of referral criteria and prescribing information . In conclusion , there were relatively few significant differences in psychosocial outcomes between centres , considering the wide variation in service organisation and activity . These significant differences were not consistent across the centres , therefore , differences could not be linked to specific aspects of service provision ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2515 ] ] } ]

The effects were measured at baseline and 20 , 40 , 60 , and 120 min after the first inhalation . No significant decrease in total respiratory resistance at 8 Hz ( Rrs [ 8 ] ) was observed after ipratropium , whereas Rrs ( 8 ) decreased significantly 20 min after fenoterol and 40 min after the combination regimen ( p less than 0.05 ) .

The changes in respiratory impedance were qualitatively similar for all three drug regimens , but larger in absolute terms after fenoterol and the combination regimen than after ipratropium .

BACKGROUND Rye bread contributes an important part of the whole grain intake in the Scandinavian diet . Ferulic acid is the major phenolic compound in rye bran and is an antioxidant in vitro and may , therefore , contribute to cardioprotective effects of whole grain consumption . AIM OF THE STUDY Firstly , to evaluate the bioavailability and potential antioxidative effects in humans of ferulic acid from rye . Secondly , to evaluate urine levels of ferulic acid as a possible biomarker of the ordinary dietary intake of ferulic acid . METHODS We determined the urinary excretion of ferulic acid in 18 postmenopausal women after a dietary intake of rye bran or an inert wheat bran ( control ) in a crossover study ( 2 x 6 weeks with 4 weeks washout ) . The potential antioxidative effect of the rye bran intervention was investigated by measuring low-density lipoprotein ( LDL ) susceptibility to copper oxidation ex vivo . The subjects ingested rye bran enriched breads equivalent to approximately 10.2 mg ferulic acid per day . RESULTS The urinary excretion of ferulic acid averaged approximately 4.8 mg per day during intervention with rye bran breads and approximately 1.9 mg per day on the control breads ( P = 0.002 ) . Rye bran intervention had no influence on lag time or propagation rate of the LDL oxidation ex vivo . CONCLUSIONS The present study demonstrated that ferulic acid from rye bran is bioavailable and that the urinary concentration of ferulic acid reflects the dietary intake of this hydroxycinnamic acid .

PURPOSE To evaluate the analgesic efficacy and duration of varying doses of caudal neostigmine with plain bupivacaine and its side effects in children undergoing genito-urinary surgery . METHODS In a randomized double-blind prospective study 80 boys aged two to eight years scheduled for surgical repair of hypospadias were allocated randomly to one of four groups ( n = 20 each ) and received either only caudal 0.25 % plain bupivacaine 0.5 mL.kg ( -1 ) ( Group I ) or 0.25 % plain bupivacaine 0.5 mL.kg ( -1 ) with neostigmine ( Groups II-IV ) in doses of 2 , 3 and 4 microg.kg ( -1 ) respectively . Postoperative pain was assessed for 24 hr using an objective pain score . Blood pressure , heart rate , oxygen saturation , total amount of analgesic consumed and adverse effects were also recorded . RESULTS The duration of postoperative analgesia in Group I ( 5.1 +/- 2.3 hr ) was significantly shorter than in the other three groups ( II -16.6 +/- 4.9 hr ; III - 17.2 +/- 5.5 hr ; IV - 17.0 +/- 5.8 hr ; P < 0.05 ) . Total analgesic ( paracetamol ) consumption was significantly more in Group I ( 697.6 +/- 240.7 mg ) than in the groups receiving caudal neostigmine ( II - 248.0 +/- 178.4 ; III - 270.2 +/- 180.8 and IV -230.6 +/- 166.9 mg ; P < 0.05 ) . Groups II , III and IV were comparable with regards to duration of postoperative analgesia and total analgesic consumption ( P > 0.05 ) . Incidence of nausea and vomiting were comparable in all four groups . No significant alteration in vital signs or any other adverse effects were observed . CONCLUSIONS Caudal neostigmine ( 2 , 3 and 4 microg.kg ( -1 ) ) with bupivacaine produces a dose-independent analgesic effect ( approximately 16-17 hr ) in children as compared to those receiving caudal bupivacaine alone ( approximately five hours ) and a reduction in postoperative rescue analgesic consumption without increasing the incidence of adverse effects ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2013 ] ] } ]

A randomized , crossover , double-blind , controlled trial . OBJECTIVES The objective of the present randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the efficacy of a mouthrinse containing a combination of AmF/SnF2 in controlling supragingival plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation during a 12-week period in patients affected by generalized aggressive periodontitis ( GAP ) . METHODS Eighteen subjects , six males and 12 females , mean age : 32.2 years , were evaluated . One-half of the patients was either prescribed an AmF/SnF2-containing mouthrinse ( test mouthrinse ) or a control mouthrinse in addition to mechanical plaque control for 12 weeks . After a 2-week wash-out period , the patients received the alternative mouthrinse . Before and after treatment plaque index ( PlI ) , gingival index ( GI ) , angulated bleeding index ( AngBI ) , tooth stain ( GMSI ) , and tongue stain were recorded . RESULTS Test mouthrinse resulted in a statistically significant decrease in PlI ( p = 0.029 ) and GI ( p = 0.017 ) . After treatment , PlI was significantly lower in test compared to control mouthrinse ( p = 0.027 ) . GMSI significantly increased post-treatment for both mouthrinse regimens ( p < 0.001 ) , a significantly higher score being observed for the test compared to control mouthrinse ( p = 0.002 ) .

OBJECTIVE Restless legs syndrome ( RLS ) is a common neurologic condition characterized by uncomfortable and unpleasant sensations in the legs , occurring primarily at rest , which are usually worse in the evening and are alleviated by movement . RLS is present in 20-40 % of patients with renal failure . This study was a 14-week open , randomized , crossover trial of ropinirole vs. levodopa sustained release ( SR ) in 11 patients with RLS on chronic hemodialysis . METHODS Eleven patients ( 7 men , 4 women ) were enrolled in the study . They received either levodopa SR or ropinirole for 6 weeks , followed by a washout week , then the alternate treatment for 6 weeks . Patients rated the severity of RLS by means of a 6-item questionnaire developed by the International Restless Legs Study Group ( 6-item IRLS ) , by the Clinical Global Impression ( CGI ) scale , and by sleep diaries . RESULTS Under treatment with levodopa SR , 1 patient presented severe vomiting , leading to study discontinuation . The 10 patients who completed the study reported a 33.5 % improvement ( from 16.7 +/- 3.2 to 11.1 +/- 4 ; P < 0.001 ) of the 6-item IRLS scores during levodopa SR treatment and a 73.5 % improvement ( from 16.6 +/- 2.8 to 4.4 +/- 3.8 ; P < 0.001 ) during ropinirole treatment . By the end of the study the mean levodopa SR dosage was 190 mg/d and the mean ropinirole dosage was 1.45 mg/d . Ropinirole was superior to levodopa SR in reducing 6-item IRLS scores ( P < 0.001 ) and in increasing sleep time ( P < 0.001 ) . The patient CGI scale showed a significant difference favoring ropinirole ( P < 0.01 ) . There was no significant carryover or period effect for any outcome measure .

[ { "id": "18373", "type": "document", "text": [ "Oxaprozin versus diclofenac in NSAID-refractory periarthritis pain of the shoulder . OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oxaprozin in comparison with diclofenac in patients with periarthritis pain of the shoulder previously unsuccessfully treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs other than diclofenac and oxaprozin . METHODS In this open , multicentre , randomised , controlled study , eligible patients with periarthritis of the shoulder were randomised to receive either oxaprozin 1200 mg once daily ( n = 49 ) or diclofenac 50 mg three times daily ( n = 47 ) . The treatment period was 15 +/- 1 days . The study was planned on a hypothesis of equivalence between the two study drugs . The primary study endpoint was the change from baseline at day 15 in the patient-assessed shoulder pain score . Secondary efficacy variables included investigator-assessed shoulder function , patient-assessed quality of life on the Short-Form-36 ( SF-36 ) Acute Health Survey and both patients ' and investigators ' overall assessment of efficacy . RESULTS At day 15 , the mean changes in shoulder pain score from baseline in the oxaprozin and diclofenac groups were -5.85 +/- SD 4.62 and -5.54 +/- SD 4.41 , respectively . The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant , confirming the hypothesis of the study that oxaprozin is as effective as diclofenac . Investigator-assessed shoulder function improved in both groups but more so in the oxaprozin group ( p = 0.028 at day 15 ) . Quality of life as measured by SF-36 total score was also improved in both treatment groups , with a trend toward greater improvement in the oxaprozin group . Furthermore , a significantly more favourable effect on the SF-36 'mental health ' item was observed in oxaprozin compared with diclofenac-treated patients at day 15 ( p = 0.0202 ) . As assessed by investigators , the overall efficacy of oxaprozin was superior to that for diclofenac at visit 3 ( 8 +/- 1 days ) ( p = 0.0067 ) . Patients also assessed the overall efficacy of oxaprozin as superior to that of diclofenac at visits 3 ( 8 +/- 1 days ) ( p = 0.0235 ) and 4 ( 15 +/- 1 days ) ( p = 0.0272 ) . Only six adverse events , all of which were mild or moderate in intensity and occurred in four diclofenac recipients , were observed in the study . CONCLUSIONS As expected , once-daily oxaprozin proved to be as effective as diclofenac three times daily in reducing the primary efficacy variable of patient-assessed shoulder pain score in patients with periarthritis of the shoulder refractory to previous treatments with other NSAIDs . Oxaprozin was shown to be superior to diclofenac in improving shoulder function and was considered by investigators and patients to have greater overall efficacy than diclofenac . In addition , oxaprozin showed a trend toward superior results in improving patients ' quality of life compared with diclofenac . A trend towards better tolerability results for oxaprozin compared with diclofenac was also noted ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 3029 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy , side effects and acceptability of sublingual and vaginal misoprostol for second trimester medical abortion . DESIGN Prospective randomised controlled trial . SETTING Tertiary referral unit and a teaching hospital . POPULATION Two hundred and twenty-four women at 12 to 20 weeks of gestation . METHODS The women were randomised to receive either sublingual or vaginal misoprostol 400 microg every 3 hours for a maximum of five doses . The course of misoprostol was repeated if the woman did not abort within 24 hours . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The success rate at 48 hours , induction-to-abortion interval and the side effects . RESULTS There was no significant difference in the success rate at 48 hours ( sublingual : 91 % ; vaginal : 95 % ) . However , the success rate at 24 hours was significantly higher in the vaginal group ( 85 % ) compared with the sublingual group ( 64 % ) . There was no difference in the median induction-to-abortion interval ( sublingual : 13.8 hours ; vaginal : 12.0 hours ) . Significantly more women in the sublingual group preferred the route to which they were assigned when compared with the vaginal group . The incidence of fever was also less in the sublingual group . CONCLUSION The use of vaginal misoprostol for second trimester medical abortion resulted in a higher success rate than sublingual misoprostol at 24 hours but the abortion rate was similar at 48 hours .

PURPOSE The aim of this randomized , controlled , blinded clinical study was to compare ridge dimensions and histologic characteristics of ridges preserved with 2 different graft materials . MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four subjects , each requiring a nonmolar extraction and delayed implant placement , were randomly selected to receive ridge preservation treatment with either an allograft in an experimental putty carrier plus a calcium sulfate barrier ( PUT ) or a bovine-derived xenograft ( BDX ) plus a collagen membrane . Horizontal and vertical ridge dimensions were determined using a digital caliper and a template . At 4 months postextraction , a trephine core was obtained for histologic analysis . RESULTS The average ridge width decreased by 0.50 mm for both groups ( P < .05 ) . The midbuccal vertical change for the PUT group was a loss of 0.3+/-0.7 mm versus a gain of 0.7+/-1.2 mm for the BDX group , a difference of 1.0 mm ( P > .05 ) . Histologic analysis revealed vital bone in the PUT group of about 61 % +/-9 % versus 26 % +/-20 % for the BDX group ( P < .05 ) . DISCUSSION Greater vital bone fill in the PUT group may be attributable to earlier and greater vascular invasion of the carrier material . The putty material was characterized by ease of handling , simple placement , and enhanced graft particle containment .

The renin-angiotensin system is the major contributor to development of hypertension , atherosclerosis , and many other cardiovascular diseases . Angiotensin II , one of the main effectors of this system , contributes to the pathogenesis of hypertension and plays an important role in monocyte , platelet , and endothelium interactions . The effects on platelet and endothelial function , either by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor antagonists , are still not well understood . A double-blind , randomized , prospective trial of either enalapril ( 10-20 mg daily ) or eprosartan ( 400-800 mg daily ) over a 10-week period was conducted in 42 patients ( 27 males , 15 females ) . Platelet activation was evaluated by measuring platelet factor 4 ( PF-4 ) , beta-thromboglobulin ( beta-TG ) , the ratio of platelet factor 4 to beta-thromboglobulin , and endothelial function by measuring total plasma nitrate levels , von Willebrand factor ( vWF ) levels , and blood flow using venous occlusive plethysmography . After a 10-week treatment with enalapril or eprosartan , the sitting blood pressure in both the enalapril group ( from 152.2 +/- 18.7 mmHg to 141.9 +/- 23.5 mmHg , P < 0.05 ) and eprosartan group ( from 151 +/- 10.0 mmHg to 142.3 +/- 12.9 mmHg , P < 0.05 ) was significantly reduced . Significant diastolic blood pressure ( DPB ) reduction ( from 94 +/- 8.7 to 84.5 +/- 9.6 mmHg , P < 0.05 ) and a greater DBP reduction response were found in the eprosartan group ( 63 % in eprosartan versus 25 % in enalapril ) . Additionally , dose-dependent reductions in the indices of platelet activation and endothelial dysfunction were observed in patients administered high dose treatments of eprosartan and enalapril , and the beneficial effects of these agents were not correlated with the reduction of blood pressure using both agents . Eprosartan is effective and well-tolerated in the treatment of mid-to-moderate hypertension , and the DBP response reduction to eprosartin was better than that to enalapril .

A low-dose combination of flutamide-metformin and ethinylestradiol-drospirenone was recently found to reduce the excess of total and abdominal fat , to diminish the deficit in lean mass , and to attenuate the dysadipocytokinemia of young women with ovarian hyperandrogenism , a variant of polycystic ovary syndrome . We questioned the need to give flutamide , an androgen receptor blocker , together with an oral contraceptive that contains drospirenone , a progestin claimed to have antiandrogen properties . The additive effects of low-dose flutamide ( 62.5 mg/d ) were assessed over 3 months in young patients with hyperinsulinemic ovarian hyperandrogenism ( n = 40 ; age , approximately 17 yr ; body mass index , approximately 22 kg/m ( 2 ) ) ; all participants started on metformin ( 850 mg/d ) and a fourth-generation contraceptive ( ethinylestradiol 30 microg plus drospirenone 3 mg , 21 d/month ) , and they were randomized to receive flutamide in addition ( n = 20 ) or not ( n = 20 ) . Fasting blood glucose , serum insulin , lipid profile , testosterone , adiponectin , and IL-6 were determined at baseline and after 3 months , together with body composition ( by dual x-ray absorptiometry ) and with Doppler assessment of ovarian arterial resistance . At start , the pulsatility and resistance indices of ovarian arteries were elevated . By comparison of 3-month changes between randomized subgroups , the addition of low-dose flutamide was found to have consistently ( more ) normalizing effects on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol , IL-6 , and adiponectin , lean body mass , total and abdominal fat mass , and arterial flow in the ovaries . In conclusion , low-dose flutamide is herewith identified as a pivotal component within a first contraceptive combination therapy that has been shown to attenuate the hypoadiponectinemia , ovarian vascular hyperresistance , lean mass deficit , and central adiposity of young women with polycystic ovary syndrome .

[ { "id": "18610", "type": "document", "text": [ "Peripheral arterial disease : therapeutic confidence of CT versus digital subtraction angiography and effects on additional imaging recommendations . PURPOSE To compare multi-detector row computed tomographic ( CT ) angiography and digital subtraction angiography ( DSA ) prior to revascularization in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease for the purpose of assessing recommendations for additional imaging and physician confidence ratings for chosen therapy . MATERIALS AND METHODS In a randomized controlled trial , 73 patients were assigned to CT angiography , and 72 were assigned to DSA . Physician confidence in the treatment decision was measured as a continuous outcome on a scale of 0-10 ( uncertain to certain ) and as a dichotomous outcome ( further imaging recommended , yes or no ) . Mean confidence scores and additional imaging recommendations were compared between CT and DSA groups in an intention-to-diagnose-and-treat analysis . To detect trends in confidence , confidence scores were plotted over time , and multiple linear regression analysis was performed . To detect trends in additional imaging recommendations , logistic regression analysis was used . Data from eligible nonrandomized patients were analyzed separately . RESULTS No statistically significant difference in baseline characteristics between randomized groups was found . CT had a lower confidence score than did DSA ( 7.2 vs 8.2 , P < .001 ) . Further imaging was recommended more often after CT ( 25 of 71 patients , 35 % ) than after DSA ( nine of 66 patients , 14 % ; P = .003 ) . Analysis of trends demonstrated increasing ( but not statistically significant ) confidence in CT and stable confidence in DSA . No significant difference was found in baseline characteristics between randomized and nonrandomized patients . Among nonrandomized patients , no significant difference in mean confidence score ( 8.2 vs 8.3 , P = .26 ) was found between CT ( n = 24 ) and DSA ( n = 26 ) . CONCLUSION With CT angiography , physician confidence decreases with an associated increase in additional imaging prior to revascularization in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease . Given that CT is less invasive than DSA , results suggest that CT may replace DSA in selected cases ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2292 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVE To determine whether docosahexaenoic acid will slow the course of retinal degeneration in subgroups of patients with retinitis pigmentosa who are receiving vitamin A . DESIGN A cohort of 208 patients with retinitis pigmentosa , aged 18 to 55 years , were randomly assigned to 1200 mg of docosahexaenoic acid plus 15 000 IU/d of vitamin A given as retinyl palmitate ( DHA + A group ) or control fatty acid plus 15 000 IU/d of vitamin A ( control + A group ) and followed up over 4 years . Seventy percent of the patients in each group were taking vitamin A , 15 000 IU/d , prior to entry . We compared rates of decline in ocular function in the DHA + A vs control + A groups among the subgroups defined by use or nonuse of vitamin A prior to entry . We also determined whether decline in ocular function was related to red blood cell phosphatidylethanolamine docosahexaenoic acid level , dietary omega-3 fatty acid intake , or duration of vitamin A use . Main outcome measures were Humphrey Field Analyzer visual field sensitivity , 30-Hz electroretinogram amplitude , and visual acuity . RESULTS Among patients not taking vitamin A prior to entry , those in the DHA + A group had a slower decline in field sensitivity and electroretinogram amplitude than those in the control + A group over the first 2 years ( P =.01 and P =.03 , respectively ) ; these differences were not observed in years 3 and 4 of follow-up or among patients taking vitamin A prior to entry . In the entire cohort , red blood cell phosphatidylethanolamine docosahexaenoic acid level was inversely related to rate of decline in total field sensitivity over 4 years ( test for trend , P =.05 ) . This was particularly evident over the first 2 years among those not on vitamin A prior to entry ( test for trend , P =.003 ) . In the entire control + A group , dietary omega-3 fatty acid intake was inversely related to loss of total field sensitivity over 4 years ( intake , < 0.20 vs > or =0.20 g/d ; P =.02 ) . The duration of vitamin A supplementation prior to entry was inversely related to rate of decline in electroretinogram amplitude ( P =.008 ) . CONCLUSIONS For patients with retinitis pigmentosa beginning vitamin A therapy , addition of docosahexaenoic acid , 1200 mg/d , slowed the course of disease for 2 years .

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In a previous study we showed that patients with severe aplastic anemia ( SAA ) treated with anti-lymphocyte globulin ( ALG ) , cyclosporin ( CyA ) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor ( G-CSF ) 5 micro g/kg/day had an encouraging outcome . However , failure to respond , delayed responses , partial responses , relapses and early deaths remain significant problems . The aim of the present study was to test whether a higher dose of G-CSF ( 10 micro g/kg/day ) would reduce these complications . DESIGN AND METHODS This was a multicenter prospective trial in 77 SAA patients treated with horse ALG ( 15 mg/kg/day day1-5 ) and CyA ( 5 mg/kg/day day 1-180 ) . Patients were randomized to receive G-CSF 5 micro g/kg/day ( n=38 , group A ) or 10 micro g/kg/day ( n=39 , group B ) from day +1 to day +30 . All patients then received G-CSF 5 micro g/kg/day from day +31 to day +90 . The primary end point of this study was response at day +120 . Secondary end points were early deaths , blood counts at day +120 , and survival . RESULTS At day +120 responses were classified as absent , partial , and complete in 12 , 22 , and 4 patients in group A and in 23 , 7 , and 9 patients in group B ( p=0.001 ) . At last follow-up these figures were respectively 9 , 12 , and 17 vs 19 , 2 , and 18 ( p=0.004 ) . Thirteen patients ( 5 in group A and 8 in group B ) died before day 120 ( p=0.3 ) . Median peripheral blood counts on day 120 were comparable in the two groups : Hb 10.5 and 9.5 g/dL in group A and B , respectively ( p=0.6 ) , Neutrophil counts were 2.4 vs 1.9x10 ( 9 ) /L in groups A and B ( p=0.4 ) and platelet counts were , respectively , 42 vs 36x10 ( 9 ) /L ( p=0.3 ) . The actuarial survival at 4 years is 72 % in group A and 67 % in group B ( p=0.3 ) . INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS Increasing the dose of G-CSF does not appear to reduce early deaths , does not improve peripheral blood counts nor survival , and may reduce the response rate in patients with SAA receiving ALG and CyA ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2211 ] ] } ]

[ { "id": "18772", "type": "document", "text": [ "Atrial remodeling after mitral valve surgery in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation . BACKGROUND Mitral valve pathology is frequently associated with auricular dilatation and atrial fibrillation . Mitral surgery allows an immediate surgical auricular remodeling and besides in those cases in which sinus rhythm is reached , it is followed by a late remodeling . The aim of this study is to investigate the process of postoperative auricular remodeling in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation undergoing mitral surgery . METHODS In a prospective randomized trial , 50 patients with permanent atrial fibrillation and dilated left atrium , submitted to surgical mitral repair , were divided into two groups : Group I contained 25 patients with left auricular reduction and mitral surgery , and Group II contained 25 patients with isolated valve surgery . Both groups were considered homogeneous in the preoperative assessment . RESULTS After a mean follow-up of 31 months , 46 % of patients included in Group I versus 18 % of patients included in Group II restarted sinus rhythm ( p = 0.06 ) . An auricular remodeling with size regression occurred in those patients who recovered from sinus rhythm , worthy of remark in Group II ( -10.8 % of left auricular volume reduction in Group I compared to -21.5 % in Group II ; p < 0.05 ) . A new atrial enlargement took place in those patients who remained with atrial fibrillation ( +16.8 % left auricular volume in Group I vs. +8.4 % in Group II ; p < 0.05 ) . CONCLUSIONS Mitral surgery produces an atrial postoperative volume that decrease especially when reduction techniques are employed .

PURPOSE To evaluate whether the position of the anterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis influences the rate of posterior capsule opacification ( PCO ) . METHODS A total of 119 patients , aged 61-86 years , underwent cataract surgery with phacoemulsification performed by a single surgeon . The patients were randomized to implantation with either a silicone intraocular lens ( IOL ) ( SI40NB , Allergan ) or an AcrySof IOL ( MA60BM , Alcon ) . Three years after surgery , the rate of PCO was analysed using the evaluation of posterior capsule opacification computer software ( EPCO ) . The results were related to the capsulorhexis position , which was assessed with a retroillumination photograph . RESULTS If the capsulorhexis was located partially or completely off the optics of the IOL , compared to totally on the IOL , significantly more PCO was found ( p = 0.0014 ) . When comparing within each IOL type , patients with AcrySof IOLs were found to have significantly less PCO when the capsulorhexis was totally on the optic ( p = 0.0048 ) . This difference was also significant in the silicone group ( p = 0.041 ) . CONCLUSION A relatively small and central capsulorhexis allowing for the complete covering of the IOL optics by the rhexis edges seems to protect against PCO in cataract surgery , with both round-edged silicone IOLs and sharp-edged hydrophobic acrylic IOLs ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1460 ] ] } ]

This three-centre study investigated the preference of cystic fibrosis ( CF ) patients for these products . In one centre , 72 h stool fat excretion and coefficient of fat absorption ( CFA ) were also compared . Fifty-nine patients with a mean age 10 years ( range 3-17 ) took Creon 8,000 ms for 14 days and were then randomised to 28 days of Creon 8,000 ms followed by 28 days of Creon 10,000 MMS , or vice versa . Dosing was lipase for lipase according to the labelled declaration . At the end of the second treatment period , 51 of 54 patients who completed the study expressed a preference , with a statistically significant preference in favour of Creon 10,000 MMS ( 47/51 ; 87 % ) vs. Creon 8,000 ms ( 4/51 ; 7.4 % ; P < 0.0001 ) .

PURPOSE Although several prospective studies have examined the safety and efficacy of stent placement for femoropopliteal arterial disease , the current cost of these procedures is unknown . To estimate and compare hospital costs associated with conventional balloon angioplasty ( percutaneous transluminal angioplasty [ PTA ] ) and stent placement for patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease , the authors performed a prospective economic evaluation in conjunction with the Intracoil Femoropopliteal Stent Trial ( VascuCoil ) . MATERIALS AND METHODS Between May 1997 and December 1999 , 266 patients with stenotic or occluded superficial femoral or popliteal arteries were prospectively randomized to treatment with the IntraCoil stent or PTA . Detailed resource use and cost data for each patient 's initial revascularization procedure and ensuing hospitalization were collected and analyzed on an intention-to-treat basis . RESULTS Compared with conventional balloon angioplasty , stent placement did not improve clinical outcomes but increased procedure duration , equipment costs , and physician services . As a result , initial hospital costs were approximately 3,500 dollars higher for patients randomized to the IntraCoil stent , compared with PTA ( 8,435 dollars vs 4,980 dollars ; P < .001 ) . CONCLUSIONS As performed in the VascuCoil trial , primary stent placement for femoropopliteal disease did not improve clinical outcomes but increased initial treatment costs by more than 3,000 dollars . Because there were no substantial differences in subsequent clinical outcomes between the two treatments , it is unlikely that these increased initial costs would be offset by savings in follow-up costs . These findings suggest that a strategy of routine stent implantation for patients undergoing femoropopliteal PTA is not optimal on economic grounds and that PTA with provisional stent implantation is preferred ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2083 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVE . To compare the safety and efficacy of a topical diclofenac solution versus oral diclofenac in relieving the symptoms of primary osteoarthritis ( OA ) of the knee , in a randomized , double-blind , double-dummy equivalence trial . METHODS A total of 622 men and women with radiological evidence of primary knee OA and mild to severe symptoms were randomly assigned to treatment with a topical diclofenac solution plus placebo oral capsules , or placebo topical solution plus oral diclofenac ( 50 mg ) capsules . Patients applied 50 drops of study solution and took 1 study capsule 3 times daily for 12 weeks . Efficacy variables were pain and physical function , measured by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities ( WOMAC ) VA 3.1 OA Index , and patient global assessment ( PGA ) . Equivalence in the per-protocol group was based on previously defined ranges of clinically significant difference . Safety was assessed by evaluation of adverse events , vital signs , and laboratory data . RESULTS The difference in mean ( 95 % CI ) change scores ( final minus baseline ) between treatments was 13.3 mm ( -8.6 to 35.2 ) for pain ( total scale 500 mm ) , 71.0 mm ( -2.4 to 144.5 ) for physical function ( total scale 1700 mm ) , and 4.3 mm ( -1.2 to 9.8 ) for PGA ( total scale 100 mm ) . The CI for each efficacy variable fell within the predefined equivalence ranges ( pain , +/- 75 mm ; physical function , +/- 255 mm ; PGA , +/- 20 mm ) , indicating that no clinically relevant difference was found between the 2 treatment arms . Safety analyses of patients applying topical diclofenac solution revealed some minor skin irritation at the application site -- mostly skin dryness in 83/311 ( 27 % ) patients -- but a significantly reduced incidence , relative to oral diclofenac , of total and severe gastrointestinal ( GI ) adverse events , including dyspepsia , abdominal pain , diarrhea , and nausea . The number of patients developing abnormal liver function tests ( including clinically significant elevation ) , hemoglobin , and creatinine clearance was significantly higher in the oral diclofenac group .

[ { "id": "18969", "type": "document", "text": [ "Endoscopic sphincterotomy by using pure-cut electrosurgical current and the risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis : a prospective randomized trial . BACKGROUND It has been suggested that the use of pure-cut electrosurgical current for endoscopic sphincterotomy may reduce the risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis . The aim of this study was to determine whether pure-cut current reduces the risk of pancreatitis compared with blend current . METHODS Patients were randomly assigned to undergo sphincterotomy over a non-conductive guidewire with 30 W/sec pure-cut current or 30 W/sec blend-2 current by a blinded endoscopist . Serum amylase and lipase levels were determined 1 day before and within 24 hours after ERCP . Post-ERCP pancreatitis was the primary outcome of interest . Secondary outcomes were as follows : severity of immediate bleeding , as graded by a 3-point scale from 1 ( no bleeding ) to 3 ( injection or balloon tamponade therapy required to stop bleeding ) and evidence of delayed bleeding 24 hours after ERCP . Analyses were performed in intention-to-treat fashion . RESULTS A total of 246 patients were randomized ( 116 pure-cut current , 130 blend current ) . There were no differences in baseline characteristics between the groups . The overall frequency of post-ERCP pancreatitis was 6.9 % , with no significant difference in frequency between treatment arms ( pure cut , 7.8 % vs. blend , 6.1 % ; p = 0.62 ) . The difference in rates of pancreatitis between the two groups was 1.7 % : 95 % CI [ -4.8 % , 8.2 % ] . Six patients ( 2.4 % ) had delayed bleeding after ERCP , of which two required transfusion . There was a significant increase in minor bleeding episodes ( grade 2 ) in the pure-cut group ( p < 0.0001 ) . Delayed episodes of bleeding were equal ( n = 3 ) in each arm . CONCLUSIONS The type of current used when performing endoscopic sphincterotomy does not appear to alter the risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis . The selection of electrosurgical current for biliary endoscopic sphincterotomy should be based on endoscopist preference ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2059 ] ] } ]

[ { "id": "18990", "type": "document", "text": [ "The relationship of changes in EORTC QLQ-C30 scores to ratings on the Subjective Significance Questionnaire in men with localized prostate cancer . PURPOSE To examine the relationship between changes in health-related quality-of-life ( HRQOL ) on the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire ( QLQ-C30 ) , and patients ' perceptions of HRQOL changes as measured by the Subjective Significance Questionnaire ( SSQ ) . PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 101 patients completed the QLQ-C30 on weeks 1 , 4 and 7 of radical external-beam radiation therapy ( RT ) for localized cancer of the prostate . Patients rated their change in physical functioning , emotional functioning , social functioning , and overall/global quality of life ( QOL ) by completing a seven-category SSQ at weeks 4 and 7 . The association between changes in the QLQ-C30 change and the corresponding SSQ ratings were determined by calculation of mean change scores for each SSQ category and by Spearman rank correlation coefficient analysis . RESULTS Patients ' completion of the QLQ-C30 and SSQ exceeded 95 % . Statistically significant changes in fatigue , pain , appetite , diarrhea , and global QOL scores were detected during RT . For patients reporting 'a little ' change in global QOL on the SSQ , absolute mean QLQ-C30 change scores ranged between 0 to 15 points with 12/16 mean change scores between 2.5 and 8.5 points . In the entire study sample , correlations between SSQ patient ratings and QLQ-C30 change scores were lower than previously reported , ranging between 0.15 and 0.24 for the four different domains , but were higher when QOL scores producing ceiling effects were omitted . CONCLUSION The SSQ and QLQ-C30 may measure related concepts that could assist in the interpretation of changes in scores and in the calibration of the QLQ-C30 . However , the nature of this relationship could not be elucidated in this data set because of a lack of variance in HRQOL scores in the study sample . Further investigation should be carried out in study samples with sufficient variance to allow more robust conclusions ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2093 ] ] } ]

UNLABELLED Today , androgen deprivation therapy is a cornerstone of treatment for advanced prostate cancer , although it presents important complications such as osteoporosis . Neridronate , a relatively new bisphosphonate , is able to prevent bone loss in patients with prostate cancer during androgen ablation . INTRODUCTION Androgen-deprivation therapy ( ADT ) is a cornerstone of treatment for advanced prostate cancer . This therapy has iatrogenic complications , such as osteoporosis . The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of neridronate , a relatively new bisphosphonate , to prevent bone loss during androgen ablation . MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight osteoporotic patients with prostate cancer , treated with 3-month depot triptorelina , were enrolled and randomly assigned to two different treatment groups : group A ( n = 24 ) was treated with a daily calcium and cholecalciferol supplement ( 500 mg of elemental calcium and 400 IU cholecalciferol ) , and group B ( n = 24 ) received in addition to the same daily calcium and cholecalciferol supplement , 25 mg of neridronate given intramuscularly every month . All patients also received bicalutamide for 4 weeks . Lumbar and femoral BMD was evaluated by DXA at baseline and after 1 year of therapy ; moreover , deoxypyridinoline ( DPD ) and bone alkaline phosphatase ( BALP ) were determined at the beginning , midway through , and at the end of the study . RESULTS After 6 and 12 months , whereas patients treated only with calcium and cholecalciferol ( group A ) showed a marked bone loss , with increased levels of DPD and BALP compared with baseline values , patients treated also with neridronate ( group B ) had substantially unchanged levels of these markers . After 1 year of treatment , lumbar and total hip BMD decreased significantly in patients treated only with calcium and cholecalciferol ( group A ) , whereas it did not change significantly at any skeletal site in patients treated also with neridronate ( group B ) . No relevant side effects were recorded during our study .

BACKGROUND Autistic individuals often exhibit hyperarousal behaviors ( e.g. , stereotyped body movements , self-stimulation , hypervigilance , and hyperactivity ) . Clonidine , an alpha 2-adrenergic receptor agonist , has been shown to be effective in reducing impulsivity , inattention , and hyperactivity associated with attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity . This study investigated the efficacy and safety of transdermal clonidine in reducing hyperarousal behaviors associated with autism . METHOD A double-blind , placebo-crossover study with transdermal clonidine was performed in nine autistic males ( aged 5 to 33 years ) . Subjects received either clonidine ( approximately 0.005 mg/kg/day ) or placebo by a weekly transdermal patch . Each trial lasted 4 weeks with a 2-week washout period between treatment phases . Subjects were evaluated every 2 weeks by clinician raters and weekly by parents . RESULTS The clonidine treatment showed a significant difference from placebo treatment on three subscales of the Ritvo-Freeman Real Life Rating Scale ( i.e. , social relationship to people , affectual responses , and sensory responses ) . The Clinical Global Impressions scale indicated that clonidine produced a significant improvement on severity of illness , global improvement , and efficacy index for therapeutic effect of the drug . A patient global rating scale showed clonidine treatment resulted in significant improvement in comparison with placebo . Adverse effects included sedation and fatigue during the first 2 weeks of clonidine treatment . CONCLUSION Results from this preliminary study show that clonidine was effective in reducing several hyperarousal behaviors and improved social relationships in some autistic subjects . Further studies are needed in a larger autistic population to determine the dose-response relationship of clonidine ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1972 ] ] } ]

[ { "id": "19148", "type": "document", "text": [ "A new social communication intervention for children with autism : pilot randomised controlled treatment study suggesting effectiveness . BACKGROUND Psychosocial treatments are the mainstay of management of autism in the UK but there is a notable lack of a systematic evidence base for their effectiveness . Randomised controlled trial ( RCT ) studies in this area have been rare but are essential because of the developmental heterogeneity of the disorder . We aimed to test a new theoretically based social communication intervention targeting parental communication in a randomised design against routine care alone . METHODS The intervention was given in addition to existing care and involved regular monthly therapist contact for 6 months with a further 6 months of 2-monthly consolidation sessions . It aimed to educate parents and train them in adapted communication tailored to their child 's individual competencies . Twenty-eight children with autism were randomised between this treatment and routine care alone , stratified for age and baseline severity . Outcome was measured at 12 months from commencement of intervention , using standardised instruments . RESULTS All cases studied met full Autism Diagnostic Interview ( ADI ) criteria for classical autism . Treatment and controls had similar routine care during the study period and there were no study dropouts after treatment had started . The active treatment group showed significant improvement compared with controls on the primary outcome measure -- Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule ( ADOS ) total score , particularly in reciprocal social interaction -- and on secondary measures of expressive language , communicative initiation and parent-child interaction . Suggestive but non-significant results were found in Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scales ( Communication Sub-domain ) and ADOS stereotyped and restricted behaviour domain . CONCLUSIONS A Randomised Treatment Trial design of this kind in classical autism is feasible and acceptable to patients . This pilot study suggests significant additional treatment benefits following a targeted ( but relatively non-intensive ) dyadic social communication treatment , when compared with routine care . The study needs replication on larger and independent samples . It should encourage further RCT designs in this area ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2351 ] ] } ]

DESIGN Double-blind , randomized , placebo-controlled clinical trial of triamcinolone acetonide ( 1200 microg daily ) vs placebo in participants with mild-to-moderate COPD . SETTING Lung Health Study II , a clinical trial to assess the effect of ICS compared to placebo in 1,116 participants in 10 centers over > 3.5 to 4.5 years .

MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Every 6 months , a structured questionnaire was administered to elicit reports of any bruising and/or skin rashes , slow healing of cuts or sores , or other skin changes . Compliance with inhaler use was assessed by canister weighing . A significantly higher proportion of ICS than placebo participants who complied with using their inhaler reported easy bruising ( 11.2 % vs 3.5 % , respectively ) and the slow healing of skin cuts or sores ( 2.4 % vs 0.5 % , respectively ) . Older men in the ICS group with good inhaler compliance appeared to be at the greatest risk of bruising . In those participants undergoing serial measurements of adrenal function and BMD , no association was noted between skin bruising and either the suppression of adrenal function or the loss of BMD as systemic complications of ICS use . CONCLUSION These findings indicate that moderate-to-high doses of ICSs result in an increased incidence of easy bruising and impairment in skin healing in middle-aged to elderly persons with COPD .

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Subnormal bone mineral density ( BMD ) and increased fracture risk are described in patients with growth hormone deficiency ( GHD ) . Growth hormone ( GH ) has been reported to have beneficial effects on bone in GHD . The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effects of GH replacement therapy on bone metabolism , BMD , and bone quality in patients with GHD . PATIENTS AND METHODS 20 adult patients with GHD ( eleven male , nine female , mean age 42.5 years ) were included in the study and randomized to either GH or placebo in a dose of 0.25 U/kg body weight/week . After 6 months all patients received GH . After a 1-year double-blind , placebo-controlled study the patients were followed for another 72 months in an open study . The patients were compared to 20 age- und sex-matched healthy controls . Bone turnover was determined by ICTP ( type I collagen carboxyterminal cross-linked telopeptide ) as parameter of bone resorption and PICP ( carboxyterminal propeptide of type I procollagen ) as marker of bone formation . BMD was measured at the lumbar spine by dual-photon absorptiometry ( DPA ) and at the forearm by single-photon absorptiometry ( SPA ) . Apparent phalangeal ultrasound transmission velocity ( APU ) was assessed as parameter of bone quality independent of BMD . RESULTS At the beginning of the study BMD at both measuring sites was lower in patients with GHD than in healthy controls . During the 1st year of GH replacement therapy BMD decreased , followed by a continuous increase in BMD ( about 12 % ) up to 60 months which remained unchanged thereafter , building up a plateau . After 72 months no significant difference between the patients and the healthy controls could be detected . Concerning parameters of bone turnover , first ICTP as marker of bone resorption showed a significant increase , later on the marker of bone formation increased as well . APU decreased during the first 6 months of treatment , but had returned to its baseline value after 24 months and remained unchanged throughout the rest of the study . CONCLUSION BMD is subnormal in adults with GHD . GH replacement therapy stimulates bone turnover in patients with GHD and in the long term such stimulation results in an increased BMD . Thereby , GH shows a triphasic action on BMD : an initial decrease in BMD during the 1st year , followed by a continuous increase in BMD with buildup of a stable plateau after 60 months . The newly formed bone seems to have normal bone elasticity ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2676 ] ] } ]

BACKGROUND It is known that the bifidobacteria flora play important roles in mucosal host defense and can prevent infectious diseases . Because bacterial populations develop during the first day of life , the authors examined whether the early administration of bifidobacteria has a positive effect on the health of low birth weight infants . METHODS The effects of oral administration of Bifidobacterium breve ( B. breve ) supplements were studied in a controlled trial with low birth weight infants ( average birth weight 1489 g ) . The infants were divided into three groups : Group A and B received a dose of 1.6 x 10 ( 8 ) cells of B. breve supplement twice a day , commencing either from several hours after birth ( group A ) or 24 h after birth ( group B ) . Group C , the control group , received no supplement . RESULTS There were no significant differences in birth weight , treatment with antibiotics , and the starting time of breast-feeding among the three groups . A Bifidobacterium-predominant flora was formed at an average of 2 weeks after birth in group A and at an average of 4 weeks after birth in group B , while no Bifidobacterium was isolated in eight out of 10 infants in group C during the observation period of 7 weeks . In comparison between group A and B , Bifidobacterium was detected significantly earlier in group A , and the number of Enterobacteriaceae present in the infants at 2 weeks after birth was significantly lower in group A . CONCLUSION The results of the present study suggest that very early administration of B. breve to low birth weight infants is useful in promoting the colonization of the Bifidobacterium and the formation of a normal intestinal flora ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1802 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of risperidone for the treatment of disruptive behavioral symptoms in children with autism and other pervasive developmental disorders ( PDD ) . METHODS In this 8-week , randomized , double-blind , placebo-controlled trial , risperidone/placebo solution ( 0.01-0.06 mg/kg/day ) was administered to 79 children who were aged 5 to 12 years and had PDD . Behavioral symptoms were assessed using the Aberrant Behavior Checklist ( ABC ) , Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form , and Clinical Global Impression-Change . Safety assessments included vital signs , electrocardiogram , extrapyramidal symptoms , adverse events , and laboratory tests . RESULTS Subjects who were taking risperidone ( mean dosage : 0.04 mg/kg/day ; 1.17 mg/day ) experienced a significantly greater mean decrease on the irritability subscale of the ABC ( primary endpoint ) compared with those who were taking placebo . By study endpoint , risperidone-treated subjects exhibited a 64 % improvement over baseline in the irritability score almost double that of placebo-treated subjects ( 31 % ) . Risperidone-treated subjects also exhibited significantly greater decreases on the other 4 subscales of the ABC ; on the conduct problem , insecure/anxious , hyperactive , and overly sensitive subscales of the Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form ( parent version ) ; and on the Visual Analog Scale of the most troublesome symptom . More risperidone-treated subjects ( 87 % ) showed global improvement in their condition compared with the placebo group ( 40 % ) . Somnolence , the most frequently reported adverse event , was noted in 72.5 % versus 7.7 % of subjects ( risperidone vs placebo ) and seemed manageable with dose/dose-schedule modification . Risperidone-treated subjects experienced statistically significantly greater increases in weight ( 2.7 vs 1.0 kg ) , pulse rate , and systolic blood pressure . Extrapyramidal symptoms scores were comparable between groups .

BACKGROUND Limited data suggest that low levels of serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C ) and high levels of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins may be associated with more rapid rates of kidney function loss in individuals with chronic renal insufficiency ( CRI ) . Although fibric acid derivatives increase serum HDL-C levels and decrease triglyceride levels , their effects on renal function are largely unknown . We conducted this study to determine whether gemfibrozil reduced rates of renal function loss in people with moderate CRI . METHODS This was a post hoc subgroup analysis in the Veterans Affairs High-Density Lipoprotein Intervention Trial , a randomized double-blind trial of gemfibrozil versus placebo in 2,531 men with coronary disease , HDL-C levels of 40 mg/dL or less ( < or =1.0 mmol/L ) , low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels of 140 mg/dL or less ( < or =3.6 mmol/L ) , and a range of triglyceride values . Moderate CRI is defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ) of 30 to 59.9 mL/min/1.73 m2 at baseline . Multivariate regression was used to calculate rates of decline in estimated GFR for individuals administered gemfibrozil or placebo , controlling for prospectively determined potential confounders . RESULTS Change in renal function could be calculated in 1,981 individuals , of whom 399 individuals ( 20.2 % ) were eligible for inclusion . Among 399 study subjects , the rate of change in renal function in the gemfibrozil group during a median of 61 months was not significantly different from that in the placebo group ( 0.49 mL/min/1.73 m2/y faster ; 95 % confidence interval , 0.09 slower to 1.09 faster ; P = 0.10 ) . No clinically relevant effect of gemfibrozil on renal function was observed in groups defined by baseline lipid levels , kidney function , diabetic status , or other components of the metabolic syndrome . The incidence of transient ( 10 % versus 4 % ; P = 0.01 ) , but not sustained ( 9 % versus 4 % ; P = 0.07 ) , increases in serum creatinine levels of 0.5 mg/dL or greater ( > or =44 micromol/L ) was significantly greater in the gemfibrozil group . However , in 5 subjects with acute increases in serum creatinine levels , serum creatine kinase levels were significantly elevated as well , suggesting that myocyte toxicity may have been responsible . Even when these individuals were excluded , no clinically significant effect of gemfibrozil on kidney function was observed .

BACKGROUND Heightened central sympathetic nervous outflow is common in essential hypertension , contributing to hypertension development and perhaps also to complications . Acute sympathetic nervous activation is a proven trigger for adverse cardiovascular events . Accordingly , antihypertensive drugs inhibiting sympathetic outflow represent a theoretically attractive therapeutic option . OBJECTIVES To study the sympatholytic and blood pressure lowering activity of the imidazoline binding agent rilmenidine at rest and during reflex sympathetic activation . DESIGN AND METHODS The HERA study ( Hyperium Effect on the sympathetic Reflex activation and Adrenaline ) is a randomised , double-blind , 6-week cross-over trial , with a 1-week placebo run-in period , two 2-week active treatment intervals ( rilmenidine 1 mg bid , placebo ) and intervening one week placebo wash-out . In 15 hypertensive patients , noradrenaline and adrenaline plasma kinetics and intra-arterial blood pressure measurements were performed at rest , after mental stress ( difficult mental arithmetic ) and during head-up tilting , at the end of the 2-week dosing periods . RESULTS The noradrenaline spillover rate , indicative of whole body sympathetic activity , was reduced 35 % by rilmenidine at rest ( p < 0.01 ) and remained significantly lower during mental stress and tilting , although the increases in noradrenaline spillover with both stimuli were preserved . The effects on intraarterial blood pressure ran in parallel , a fall in supine resting pressure , but no reduction in BP rise during mental stress and a lack of fall in BP with tilting . On placebo , adrenaline secretion was 162 +/- 27 ng/min ( mean , SE ) at rest , increased by 77 +/- 42 ng/min with mental stress ( p=0.019 ) and was unchanged with tilting . Rilmenidine left adrenaline secretion untouched under all conditions . CONCLUSIONS This study confirms a sympatholytic effect of rilmenidine during supine rest but demonstrates that sympathetic responses during mental stress and tilting are preserved , the latter underlying a perhaps surprising absence of postural hypotension on the drug . The absence of suppression of reflexive sympathetic responses contrasts with the effects of rilmenidine in experimental animals , and emphasises the previously demonstrated unique importance in humans of suprabulbar noradrenergic neuronal projections from the brainstem , which are inhibited by imidazoline binding agents , in regulating tonic sympathetic activity in essential hypertension . Sympathetic nervous inhibition with rilmenidine contrasted with an absence of suppression of the secretion of adrenaline affirming that here , as elsewhere , sympathetic nervous and adrenal medullary function can be disconnected ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 2897 ] ] } ]

BACKGROUND Though the outcome of resection for locally invasive pancreatic cancer is still poor , it has gradually improved in Japan , and the 5-year survival is now about 10 % . However , the advantage of resection over radiochemotherapy has not yet been confirmed by a randomized trial . We conducted this study to compare surgical resection alone versus radiochemotherapy without resection for locally invasive pancreatic cancer using a multicenter randomized design . METHODS Patients with pancreatic cancer who met our preoperative criteria for inclusion ( pancreatic cancer invading the pancreatic capsule without involvement of the superior mesenteric artery or the common hepatic artery , or without distant metastasis ) underwent laparotomy . Patients with operative findings consistent with our criteria were randomized into a radical resection group and a radiochemotherapy group ( 200 mg/m ( 2 ) /day of intravenous 5-fluorouracil and 5040 cGy of radiotherapy ) without resection . The 2 groups were compared for mean survival , hazard ratio , 1-year survival , quality of life scores , and hematologic and blood chemical data . RESULTS Twenty patients were assigned to the resection group and 22 to the radiochemotherapy group . There was 1 operative death . The surgical resection group had better results than the radiochemotherapy group as measured by 1-year survival ( 62 % vs 32 % , P=.05 ) , mean survival time ( > 17 vs 11 months , P < .03 ) , and hazard ratio ( 0.46 , P=.04 ) .

BACKGROUND Among elderly persons , falls account for 87 % of all fractures and are contributing factors in many nursing home admissions . This study evaluated the effect of an easily implemented , low-intensity exercise program on the incidence of falls and the time to first fall among a clinically defined population of elderly men and women . METHODS This community-based , randomized trial compared the exercise intervention with a no-intervention control . The participants were 294 men and women , aged 60 years or older , who had either a hospital admission or bed rest for 2 days or more within the previous month . Exercise participants were scheduled to attend exercise sessions lasting 45 minutes , including warm-up and cool-down , 3 times a week for 8 weeks ( 24 sessions ) . Assessments included gait and balance measures , self-reported physical function , the number of medications being taking at baseline , participant age , sex , and history of falling . Falls were tracked for 1 year after each participant 's baseline assessment . RESULTS 29 % of the study participants reported a fall during the study period . The effect of exercise in preventing falls varied significantly by baseline physical function level ( p < or =.002 ) . The risk for falls decreased for exercise participants with low baseline physical functioning ( hazard ratio , .51 ) but increased for exercise participants with high baseline physical functioning ( hazard ratio , 3.51 ) .

The aim of this clinical study was to investigate the acid resistance of enamel lesions remineralized in situ by a sugar-free chewing gum containing casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate nanocomplexes ( CPP-ACP : Recaldent ) . The study utilized a double-blind , randomized , crossover design with two treatments : ( i ) sugar-free gum containing 18.8 mg of CPP-ACP , and ( ii ) sugar-free gum not containing CPP-ACP as control . Subjects wore removable palatal appliances with insets of human enamel containing demineralized subsurface lesions and chewed the gum for 20 min 4 times per day for 14 days . After each treatment the enamel slabs were removed and half of each lesion challenged with acid in vitro for 8 or 16 h. The level of remineralization was determined using microradiography . The gum containing CPP-ACP produced approximately twice the level of remineralization as the control sugar-free gum . The 8- and 16-hour acid challenge of the lesions remineralized with the control gum resulted in 65.4 and 88.0 % reductions , respectively , of deposited mineral , while for the CPP-ACP-remineralized lesions the corresponding reductions were 30.5 and 41.8 % . The acid challenge after in situ remineralization for both control and CPP-ACP-treated lesions resulted in demineralization underneath the remineralized zone , indicating that the remineralized mineral was more resistant to subsequent acid challenge . The results show that sugar-free gum containing CPP-ACP is superior to an equivalent gum not containing CPP-ACP in remineralization of enamel subsurface lesions in situ with mineral that is more resistant to subsequent acid challenge ." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 1821 ] ] } ]
