Medical oncology clinics through videoconferencing: an acceptable telehealth model for rural patients and health workers
Tập 42 Số 7 - Trang 780-785 - 2012
AbstractBackground: Since 2007, Townsville Cancer Centre (Queensland,
Australia) has provided routine and urgent medical oncology services to rural
and remote communities through videoconferencing. At remote sites, patients were
accompanied by doctors and other health workers. The aim of this study was to
describe satisfaction of patients and rural health workers with this model of
teleoncology.M...
Body mass index determines sunbathing habits: implications on vitamin D levels
Tập 39 Số 4 - Trang 256-258 - 2009
AbstractVitamin D is crucial for calcium and bone metabolism. Overweight people
have been found to have lower levels of this vitamin. The aim of the paper was
to test if sun exposure habits might differ according to weight and body fat per
cent in a random population‐based sample, and have an impact on vitamin D
levels. The analysis of 367 persons showed that, among other established
factors, diff...
Meta‐analysis of B type natriuretic peptide and N‐terminal pro B natriuretic peptide in the diagnosis of clinical heart failure and population screening for left ventricular systolic dysfunction
Tập 38 Số 2 - Trang 101-113 - 2008
AbstractBackground: We set out to review the validity of tests for B type
natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N‐terminal pro BNP (NTproBNP) in the diagnosis of
clinical heart failure (HF) in primary care and hospital settings and to examine
the effect of age. We also examined the accuracy of the test in population
screening for left ventricular systolic dysfunction.Methods: Medline and Embase
were sea...
Blastocystis subtypes in symptomatic and asymptomatic family members and pets and response to therapy
Tập 42 Số 11 - Trang 1187-1195 - 2012
AbstractBackgroundBlastocystis is a common, enteric parasite. The pathogenicity
of the organism is uncertain, but subtypes (ST) 1 and 3 have been reported more
likely to cause irritable bowel‐like symptoms.AimsWe treated symptomatic
patients positive for Blastocystis with conventional therapy and analysed 16
small‐subunit (SSU) rDNA to assess clearance and carriage rates and ST
prevalence of the p...
Post‐mortem drug concentrations
Tập 40 Số 3 - Trang 183-187 - 2010
AbstractConsiderable changes occur in the concentrations of numerous drugs after
death. Some concentrations increase, others fall and some do not change. Active
agents, such as gamma hydroxybutyrate and alcohol, may be synthesized in the
deceased body. Many published tables contain lists of therapeutic, toxic and
lethal concentrations that are misleading. While the process of post‐mortem
redistrib...
Risk factors for symptomatic hyponatraemia: the role of pre‐existing asymptomatic hyponatraemia
Tập 37 Số 3 - Trang 149-155 - 2007
AbstractBackground: Hyponatraemia is associated with substantial morbidity and
mortality. Identification of the risk factors associated with the development of
symptomatic hyponatraemia is important in determining preventive
strategies.Methods: A retrospective analysis of the risks factors associated
with the development of severe, symptomatic hyponatraemia requiring hospital
admission over the pa...

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis in scleroderma‐related conditions
Tập 42 Số 3 - Trang 323-329 - 2012
AbstractAims: Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is a rare
life‐threatening gastrointestinal complication in the course of connective
tissue disease (CTD). PCI is characterised by the appearance of intramural
clusters of gas in the small and large bowel wall on X‐ray or computed
tomography and often is accompanied by free air in the peritoneal
cavity.Methods: We present three cases of PCI ...
Linezolid‐induced dyserythropoiesis: chloramphenicol toxicity revisited
Tập 35 Số 10 - Trang 626-628 - 2005
Abstract We report here two cases of dyserythropoietic anaemia associated with
long‐term linezolid use that share striking similarities to
chloramphenicol‐associated myelotoxicity. (Intern Med J 2005; 35: 626–628)
Prolonged seated immobility at work is a common risk factor for venous thromboembolism leading to hospital admission
Tập 38 Số 2 - Trang 133-135 - 2008
AbstractThe role of seated immobility at work in the pathogenesis of venous
thromboembolism (VTE) is uncertain. In this case series, 61 patients aged
<65 years with a recent admission for deep venous thrombosis and/or pulmonary
embolism completed an interviewer‐administered questionnaire to obtain
information regarding risk factors. Prolonged seated immobility at work in the
4 weeks before the VTE...
