Application of the Poincaré plot to heart rate variability: a new measure of functional status in heart failure
Tập 25 Số 1 - Trang 18-26 - 1995
Abstract Background: Conventional methods of quantifying heart rate variability
using summary statistics have shown that decreased variability is associated
with increased mortality in heart failure. However, many patients with heart
failure have arrhythmias which make the ‘raw’ heart rate variability data less
suitable for the use of summary statistical measures. Aims: To examine the
clinical pot...
Uncovering a multitude of sins: medication management in the home post acute hospitalisation among the chronically ill
Tập 29 Số 2 - Trang 220-227 - 1999
AbstractBackground: Sub‐optimal use of prescribed medication is often associated
with unplanned hospitalisation among the chronically ill.Aims: To examine the
extent of sub‐optimal use of prescribed medication in a ‘high risk’ patient
cohort recently discharged from acute hospital care.Methods: Chronically ill
patients discharged from acute hospital care (n=342) were studied. At one week
post disc...
THE SYDNEY AIDS PROJECT: DEVELOPMENT OF ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME IN A GROUP OF HIV SEROPOSITIVE HOMOSEXUAL MEN
Tập 18 Số 1 - Trang 8-15 - 1988
Abstract:The Sydney AIDS Project is a prospective immunoepidemiological study of
996 homosexual/bisexual men enrolled between February 1984 and January 1985. By
January 1987, 32 of 386 homosexual men who were seropositive at enrolment in the
study had developed AIDS, yielding a crude progression rate of between 2.8% and
4.2% per annum. Of these subjects, 23 (72%) developed AIDS within 12 months of...
Acute stroke outcome: effects of stroke type and risk factors
Tập 22 Số 1 - Trang 30-35 - 1992
Abstract:We studied 925 consecutive patients hospitalised with acute stroke to
determine how stroke type, age, gender and risk factors influence acute,
in‐hospital outcome. Stroke types included carotid territory cortical or large
subcortical infarction (52%), vertebrobasilar infarction (12%), lacunar
infarction (11%), intracerebral haemorrhage (16%), and subarachnoid haemorrhage
(9%). Mean age (m...
Lipoprotein(a) levels in chronic renal disease states, dialysis and transplantation
Tập 22 Số 3 - Trang 243-248 - 1992
Abstract:Lipoprotein(a) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular
disease. Lipoprotein(a) levels were measured in 196 patients (103 Male [M]: 93
Female [F]) with chronic renal diseases and in 116 controls. Median levels of
Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] were found to be significantly elevated in patients with
untreated chronic renal disease (285, 285 mg/L; M, F; range 30–1675 mg/L) and in
those tre...
A controlled trial of a killed Haemophilus influenzae vaccine for prevention of acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis
Tập 21 Số 4 - Trang 427-432 - 1991
Abstract Sixty‐four patients with chronic bronchitis with a history of recurrent
respiratory tract infections were admitted to a double‐blind randomised
controlled study in which the efficacy of an oral vaccine containing killed
Haemophilus influenzae in preventing acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis
was compared with placebo. Patients given vaccine developed fewer acute
infective episodes. ...
INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATION: A DOUBLE–BLIND CROSSOVER TRIAL OF PENTOXIFYLLINE
Tập 15 Số 4 - Trang 402-409 - 1985
Abstract: The influence of the xanthine derivative pentoxifylline (‘Trental’ or
BL191; Hoechst–Roussel) on exercise tolerance was measured in 38 subjects with
stable, severe to moderately severe, intermittent claudication who completed a
randomised, double–blind, placebo controlled, cross–over clinical trial.
Patients received placebo tablets or 400 mg slow–release pentoxifylline tablets
(‘Trental...
Allergic bronchopulmonary fungal disease caused by Bipolaris and Curvularia
Tập 21 Số 6 - Trang 871-874 - 1991
Abstract Allergic bronchopulmonary fungal disease (ABPFD) usually manifests in
asthmatics as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. In a few instances other
fungi have been implicated. Serological testing in Western Australia between
1979 and 1986 revealed precipitins to Bipolaris and Curvularia species in 40 of
503 patients tested. Eight of these were patients with ABPFD due to Bipolaris
and/or...

Tập 8 Số 3 - Trang 322-336 - 1978
Summary: The aetiology of the sudden infant death syndrome: Current ideas on
breathing and sleep and possible links to deranged thiamine Neurochemistry.The
sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is now the commonest cause of death between
one week and one year of age in most western countries. An asphyxia/ death, with
unrecognised hypoxic episodes during sleep in the preceding weeks, has been
postula...
THE NEUROLOGICAL FEATURES OF EARLY AND ‘LATENT’ HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS INFECTION
Tập 19 Số 6 - Trang 700-705 - 1989
AbstractNeurological manifestations of unknown cause occurring in patients who
become or are HIV antibody positive with presumed normal immune function have
been described recently. This report adds a further six cases, all of whom had
normal CD4 + cell counts either throughout the period of observation or after
the episode of seroconyersion. Three had an acute presentation, two in the
context of ...
