statistical methods that distinguish between attributes of assessment: prolongation of life versus quality of life.the authors propose a method to generate information relevant to the decision tree that adds additional perspective to the characterization of health quality during survival. their approach uses survival data to distinguish two attributes of utility: prolongation of life and quality of life (qol). health-state transition probabilities correspond to the prolongation of life and are modeled in a discrete-time transient semi-markov process. quality-of-life-state transition probabilities are derived ...20031573984
fraction of s-phase cells in blood mononuclear cells in non-hodgkin's lymphomas--correlation with clinical features and prognosis.a consecutive material of 111 untreated patients with non-hodgkin's lymphoma was studied with respect to fraction of s-phase cells in blood mononuclear cells in relation to presence of monoclonal b cells in blood (mbcb). fraction of s-phase cells was determined by flow cytometry and estimation of mbcb was performed by kappa:lambda analysis. the fraction of s-phase cells was significantly higher (p less than 0.001) in mbcb-positive cases (median 1.2%) than in the mbcb-negative (median 0.7%). mbcb ...20052785930

[diagnostic and interventional radiology in pulmonary embolism].the clinical picture of pulmonary embolism (pe) ist remarkably unspecific and one has to rely mainly on imaging techniques to obtain a reliable diagnosis. pe is not a primary disease but the complication of deep venous thrombosis (dvt), and thus there is a strong correlation between pulmonary embolism and venous thrombosis. radiologic screening of these diseases is based on invasive and noninvasive tests. chest x-ray has a low predictive value of 63% and helps mainly in ruling out other diagnose ...20071947962
correlation of electrophoretic mobilities from capillary electrophoresis with physicochemical properties of proteins and peptides.excellent correlation was observed for the electrophoretic mobilities measured by capillary zone electrophoresis versus q/mw2/3, where q is the calculated charge and mw is the molecular weight. mobilities of a set of 33 diverse peptides from enzymatic digests and 10 intact proteins were measured for separations at ph 2.35, 8.0, and 8.15 with constant ionic strength, temperature, and viscosity. the correlation suggests that the frictional drag is proportional to the surface area of a sphere that ...20071952066

characterization of serum and urinary bile acids in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry: effect of ursodeoxycholic acid treatment.we have studied the effect of ursodeoxycholic acid on the serum and urinary bile acids in seven patients with moderate to severe primary biliary cirrhosis. bile acids were characterized by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and quantified by capillary gas-liquid chromatography. serum bile acids were elevated 26-fold over control values, with 2.2 times more cholic acid than chenodeoxycholic acid. urinary bile acid output was elevated 22-fold over control values with a cholic acid:chenode ...20082621422
the concept of mental illness.in recent years it has often been suggested that there is no such thing as mental illness. in naive cartesianism this assertion starts out from the assumption that illness may develop solely from physical causes. before clarifying what mental illness is, we should ask what is understood by the general notion of 'illness'. a constituent of the general disease concept is an unvoluntary and sufficiently serious disturbance of vital functions that needs to be defined in detail-and not just any regio ...20082695924

cross-validation of a dementia screening test in a heterogeneous population.recognition of the increasing importance of early dementia screening for both research and clinical purposes has led to the development of numerous screening instruments. the most promising of these are based on neuropsychological measures which are able to focus on very specific cognitive functions. of these tests the iowa screening test is of particular interest to researchers and clinicians working with heterogenous populations or wishing to make cross-cultural comparisons as it is relatively ...20092807680
work/training programs for international health science librarians in american medical school libraries.world understanding is more than a desirable goal today: it may be crucial to our survival. many universities realize this and have in the past decade spent a great deal of time and money to ensure a steady flow of faculty and students between the u.s. and other countries. librarians with faculty or academic status may benefit from promoting such relationships themselves. job exchanges and training programs offer librarians in the united states the opportunity to become acquainted with their cou ...20092720220
strategies for developing innovative programs in international medical education. a viewpoint from africa.postgraduate medical education is an important factor in africa's present emphasis on health care as a basis for socioeconomic development. such education must be relevant to the realities of health problems in africa. the priority of most african governments is training in traditional health care management and in fields related to community- and problem-based medicine. presently, opportunities for such training exist in only seven centers throughout africa. a model health care system, offered ...20092713022
growth failure. a complication of dietary treatment of hypercholesterolemia.we describe 8 children among a group of 40 in whom growth failure was associated with unsupervised dietary treatment of hypercholesterolemia. in 3 children, nutritional dwarfing ensued, and in 5, weight loss or insufficient weight gain occurred. children with growth failure consumed significantly less energy and zinc than those children growing well. the dietary intakes of the 3 children with nutritional dwarfing were the most markedly deficient in total energy, fat, and micronutrients. these da ...20092718985

socioeconomic differences in rates of cesarean section.increasing cesarean-section rates have focused attention on variations in the use of this procedure that appear to be independent of medical indication. we investigated the relation between the rate of primary cesarean section and socioeconomic status in a cohort of 245,854 singleton infants born to non-hispanic white, black, asian-american, and mexican-american residents of los angeles county, california. on the basis of birth-certificate data for 1982 and 1983, a significant relation, independ ...20092747759
cerebral perfusion pressure: a hemodynamic mechanism of mannitol and the postmannitol hemogram.sixteen patients each received infusions of 1 g of mannitol per kg over 5 to 10 minutes, and serial determinations of intracranial pressure (icp), systemic arterial blood pressure (sabp), central venous pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure (cpp), hematocrit, hemoglobin, serum na+, k+, osmolarity, and fluid balance were carried out for 4 hours. urine output was replaced volume for volume with 5% dextrose in 0.45% nacl solution. we tested the hypothesis that patients with high (greater than or eq ...20103116451
cocaine abuse and delusions of parasitosis.we report two persons in their thirties with the shared delusion of parasitosis. both abused cocaine, and both recovered from their delusions after a period of abstinence. although the literature does not stress that a specific cause is usually found for delusions of parasitosis, this may be changing for persons in groups among whom cocaine and possibly other illicit drug use is common. it is a service to these desperate patients to establish their confidence and then discretely ask about the us ...20103234026
[acute and subacute ruptures of the free wall of the heart in acute myocardial infarction].nowadays, acute rupture of the cardiac free wall is, after cardiac failure, the second most frequent cause of hospital deaths consecutive to acute myocardial infarction. this mechanical complication of myocardial infarction is usually beyond surgical treatment in patients with sudden cardiac arrest at the time of rupture. however in about 30% of the cases the rupture may be subacute and amenable to surgical treatment provided the condition is rapidly diagnosed. diagnostic criteria are clinical ( ...20102950467
guanine and 7-methylguanine amino proton exchange rates as a function of buffer pk: implications for the exchange mechanism.using the stopped-flow kinetic method we have measured the deuteration rate of the amino protons in 2'deoxyguanosine 5'monophosphate and 7-methylguanosine 5'monophosphate. for both compounds the exchange rates are accelerated with increasing concentration of a large number of buffers with widely differing pks. the results obtained, in conjunction with a theoretical model study, give rise to serious doubts concerning the normally accepted mechanism of amino proton exchange involving a pre-protona ...20103020505
