Epidemiology of Adverse Drug Reactions

I would like to conclude by citing two rather interesting observations we have made. Three-quarters of all the patients in all our surveillance who have allergic reactions to drugs have had peptic ulcer, ulcerative colitis, or neoplastic disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Of these patients, three-quarters of the drugs producing allergic reactions are administered orally. The rates of allergic reactions to individual drugs in patients with gastrointestinal disease as opposed to those without gastrointestinal disease receiving the same medication, are significantly increased. What the impact is of inflammatory gastrointestinal disease 1) upon the absorption of the drug, 2) upon its metabolism, and 3) upon its antigenicity has not been investigated before. But from these studies it is suggested that inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract may be an important factor predisposing patients receiving oral drugs to occurrence of allergic reactions. It has commonly been supposed that patients with autoimmunological disorders, e.g., system lupus erythematous, may have a predisposition to multiple allergic reactions to drugs. In our evaluation of this problem, there is no significant increase in the occurrence of allergic reactions to drugs in these patients

Extension of Coyote, Canis latrans, Breeding Range in the Northwest Territories, Canada

Coyotes (Canis latrans) have resided in the Northwest Territories for several decades but have only rarely been sighted north of Great Slave Lake (>62° N. latitude) in the Taiga Shield ecozone. Records show Coyotes have been seen since the 1960s. Prior to 2000, evidence of Coyotes breeding in the Taiga Shield has been anecdotal. In 2000, a Coyote was repeatedly seen at the Yellowknife airport and in 2001, a pair of Coyotes was observed with two pups. Since then, Coyote pups have been observed annually at the airport and adult Coyotes are seen regularly within the city of Yellowknife, an urban island within the Taiga Shield ecozone. Unlike in most regions occupied by Coyotes, medium-sized prey are rarely seen. Recently, Coyotes have become a potential hazard to aircraft at the Yellowknife airport. Although Coyotes appear to have established themselves within the city of Yellowknife, maintaining a presence beyond the urbanized area remains uncertain

Contingent time off : an incentive approach to office productivity increases

Productivity gains in a clerical setting on the order of ten to twenty-five percent can be achieved through the use of contingent time off (CTO) incentives. To test this hypothesis, four clerical groups who performed routine repetitive tasks were given productivity goals of 25% over their respective group\u27s average weekly productivity level. If a group achieves the weekly goal before the end of standard 40 hour work-week, the group of employees will be given time off with full pay based upon a specified formula. Results of the study indicate that CTO can result in productivity increases ranging between 13 and 40 percent

Footnote to Furman: Failing Justification for the Capital Case Exception to the Right to Bail after Abolition of the Death Penalty

Historically, capital crimes were an exception from the right to bail. However, in Furman v. Georgia, the United States Supreme Court abolished this exception. This Comment considers the purpose and constitutional nature of the right to bail to support the Court’s holding in Furman. This Comment asserts that the request for bail in offenses once classified as capital should be resolved in accordance with established standards used in other bail matters. In other words, the accused in a capital crime should possess the same right to bail as an accused in other cases. The constitutional right to bail is implicit in the Eighth Amendment, Due Process, and the Sixth Amendment. The purpose of bail is to permit release of the accused, but at the same time providing a surety or guarantee that the accused will appear at trial. On a theoretical level, bail is used to do much more than provide a guarantee. Bail is used to protect the functioning of the judicial process, to detain those thought to be dangerous, and to protect favored political or cultural interests. However, these uses often lead to an abuse of bail, namely the prevention of bail in capital cases based on the protection of society rationale. However this rationale presupposes the guilt of the accused. Thus, the rationale is contrary to the presumption of innocence that is the foundation of the American justice system. The author concludes that the capital crimes exception to bail is serves no legitimate government interest after Furman
