Clinical significance of ventricular fibrillation-flutter induced by ventricular programmed stimulation
Two hundred twenty-four patients underwent ventricular programmed stimulation (VPS) without prior documentation of the clinical occurrence of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation-flutter (VF). Indications for VPS were: palpitations or nonsustained VT during ambulatory monitoring (85 patients), syncope or presyncope (137 patients), and a family history of sudden death (two patients). Sustained VF requiring transthoracic defibrillation was initiated by VPS in 18 patients (8.0%). Four patients were treated for inducible VF with antiarrhythmic agents directed by electropharmacologic testing; five patients were treated empirically; nine patients received no therapy. No patient has had a cardiac arrest or sudden death during a follow-up period of 25.2 +/- 13.8 months (mean +/- standard deviation). VF was initiated by two ventricular extrastimuli in three patients and by three extrastimuli in 15 patients. The incidence of VF was similar in patients with and without previous symptoms (8.8% vs 6.9%) or heart disease (7.1% vs 9.6%). It was significantly higher when VPS at three ventricular sites with a current of 5 mA (pulse width 2 msec) was compared to programmed stimulation at two ventricular sites with a current twice diastolic threshold (pulse width 2 msec) (15.2% vs 3.0%, p < 0.05). VF initiated by VPS in patients without prior VT or VF appears to be a nonspecific finding. Antiarrhythmic therapy for VF may not be necessary in these patients.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/25695/1/0000249.pd
Small bowel motility affects glucose absorption in a healthy man
WSTĘP. Celem pracy było wyjaśnienie związku pomiędzy motoryką
dwunastnicy i jelita cienkiego a wchłanianiem glukozy oraz ustalenie wpływu zmiany
motoryki jelita cienkiego na wchłanianie glukozy po zastosowaniu substancji prokinetycznej
- cizaprydu.
MATERIAŁ I METODY. W badaniu wzięło udział 7 zdrowych mężczyzn,
których średnia wieku wynosiła 22 lata. W sposób randomizowany badani otrzymywali
cizapryd 10 mg 3 razy dziennie lub placebo, przez 3 dni. Po 2 tygodniach powtarzano
próbę z drugim preparatem. Rano 3 dnia badania wykonywano manometrię z użyciem
18-kanałowego cewnika, wprowadzonego do dwunastnicy. Przez 30 minut badani otrzymywali
przez cewnik płynną odżywkę (3 kcal/min), a następnie bolus analogu glukozy
(3-OMG, 3-O-metyloglukozę). W celu oceny kinetyki wchłaniania oznaczano w osoczu
stężenia 3-OMG.
WYNIKI. Pole pod krzywą stężenia 3-OMG w pierwszych 30 minutach
po podaniu dojelitowym było zależne od liczby ruchów robaczkowych rozchodzących
się ortodromowo (r = 0,49, p < 0,05), ale nie wykazano związku ze stężeniem szczytowym,
czasem do osiągnięcia stężenia szczytowego ani frakcją wchłoniętą. Średnia amplituda
ruchów robaczkowych była wyższa przy podawaniu cizaprydu niż placebo (p < 0,05),
ale powrót motoryki w okresie międzyposiłkowym, liczba ruchów robaczkowych i ich
propagacja oraz charakterystyka wchłaniania 3-OMG były podobne przy stosowaniu
cizaprydu i placebo. W obu typach leczenia propagacja ruchów robaczkowych w ponad
60% wynosiła jedynie 1,5 cm.
WNIOSKI. Absorpcja glukozy w jelicie cienkim człowieka wiąże
się z propagacją aktywności skurczowej jelita w zakresie krótkich odcinków. Cizapryd
zwiększa amplitudę ruchów robaczkowych, ale nie wpływa na ich organizację ani
na wchłanianie 3-OMG.INTRODUCTION. To investigate the relationship between
duodenojejunal motor activity and glucose
absorption and to evaluate the effect of modification
of duodenojejunal motility on glucose absorption
by using the prokinetic drug cisapride.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. We examined seven healthy
males, mean age 22 years, who were treated
with cisapride 10 mg t.i.d. and placebo during 3 days
in a randomized order, with a 2-week time interval.
Duodenojejunal manometry was performed after
each treatment on the morning of day 3, using an
18-lumen catheter. A liquid nutrient (3 kcal/min) was
administered intraduodenally for 30 min, followed
by a bolus of the glucose analog 3-O-methylglucose
(3-OMG). Plasma 3-OMG concentrations were measured
to assess absorption kinetics. RESULTS. The area under the 3-OMG concentration
curve in the first 30 min after infusion was related
to the number of antegrade propagated pressure
waves (r = 0.49, P < 0.05), but not to the peak concentration,
time to peak, and absorption fraction.
The mean amplitude of pressure waves was higher
during cisapride than placebo (P < 0.05), but the
reoccurrence of interdigestive motility, numbers of
pressure waves, and propagated pressure waves, as
well as 3-OMG absorption characteristics, were not
significantly different between the two treatments.
During both treatments > 60% of antegrade propagated
pressure waves were propagated over a very
short distance (1.5 cm).
CONCLUSIONS. Glucose absorption in the human
small intestine is related to short-traveling propagated
intestinal contractile activity. Cisapride increases
the amplitude of pressure waves, but does not
affect the organization of pressure waves or the
absorption of 3-OMG

Primary pancreatic lymphoma – pancreatic tumours that are potentially curable without resection, a retrospective review of four cases
BACKGROUND: Primary pancreatic lymphomas (PPL) are rare tumours of the pancreas. Symptoms, imaging and tumour markers can mimic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, but they are much more amenable to treatment. Treatment for PPL remains controversial, particularly the role of surgical resection. METHODS: Four cases of primary pancreatic lymphoma were identified at Prince of Wales Hospital, Sydney, Australia. A literature review of cases of PPL reported between 1985 and 2005 was conducted, and outcomes were contrasted. RESULTS: All four patients presented with upper abdominal symptoms associated with weight loss. One case was diagnosed without surgery. No patients underwent pancreatectomy. All patients were treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and two of four patients received rituximab. One patient died at 32 months. Three patients are disease free at 15, 25 and 64 months, one after successful retreatment. Literature review identified a further 103 patients in 11 case series. Outcomes in our series and other series of chemotherapy and radiotherapy compared favourably to surgical series. CONCLUSION: Biopsy of all pancreatic masses is essential, to exclude potentially curable conditions such as PPL, and can be performed without laparotomy. Combined multimodality treatment, utilising chemotherapy and radiotherapy, without surgical resection is advocated but a cooperative prospective study would lead to further improvement in treatment outcomes
Linear low-dose extrapolation for noncancer health effects is the exception, not the rule
The nature of the exposure-response relationship has a profound influence on risk analyses. Several arguments have been proffered as to why all exposure-response relationships for both cancer and noncarcinogenic end-points should be assumed to be linear at low doses. We focused on three arguments that have been put forth for noncarcinogens. First, the general “additivity-to-background” argument proposes that if an agent enhances an already existing disease-causing process, then even small exposures increase disease incidence in a linear manner. This only holds if it is related to a specific mode of action that has nonuniversal properties—properties that would not be expected for most noncancer effects. Second, the “heterogeneity in the population” argument states that variations in sensitivity among members ofthe target population tend to “flatten out and linearize” the exposure-response curve, but this actually only tends to broaden, not linearize, the dose-response relationship. Third, it has been argued that a review of epidemiological evidence shows linear or no-threshold effects at low exposures in humans, despite nonlinear exposure-response in the experimental dose range in animal testing for similar endpoints. It is more likely that this is attributable to exposure measurement error rather than a true non-threshold association. Assuming that every chemical is toxic at high exposures and linear at low exposures does not comport to modern-day scientific knowledge of biology. There is no compelling evidence-based justification for a general low-exposure linearity; rather, case-specific mechanistic arguments are needed
The classification of glomerulonephritis in systemic lupus erythematosus revisited
The classification of glomerulonephritis in systemic lupus erythematosus revisited.The currently used classification reflects our understanding of the pathogenesis of the various forms of lupus nephritis, but clinicopathologic studies have revealed the need for improved categorization and terminology. Based on the 1982 classification published under the auspices of the World Health Organization (WHO) and subsequent clinicopathologic data, we propose that class I and II be used for purely mesangial involvement (I, mesangial immune deposits without mesangial hypercellularity; II, mesangial immune deposits with mesangial hypercellularity); class III for focal glomerulonephritis (involvin
