The History Of The Present Illness As Treatment: Who's Listening, And Why Does It Matter?, Herbert M. Adler, Md, Phd

Department of Family & Community Medicine Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND: The history of the present illness (HPI) is examined as a narrative communication that has the potential to be therapeutic.

METHODS: The general principles that influence the therapeutic potential of the HPI are induced from participant observation of personal experience and natural observations of conventional social interaction. These principles are corroborated by evidence from cross-cultural healing practices, clinical experience, and experimental psychology.

RESULTS: To facilitate a therapeutic HPI, the clinician should convey a sense of safety, sensitivity, affective competence, and cognitive competence. Furthermore, the effective clinician joins the patient in coprocessing the illness experience.

CONCLUSIONS: The (HPI) is not …

Role Of Immunodominant T Cell Responses To Minor Histocompatibility Antigens In A Mouse Model Of Graft-Versus-Host Disease, Marc Adam Berger, B.S. Thomas Jefferson University

Full-Text Theses & Dissertations

Graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) is a major complication of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) matched bone marrow transplantation. GVHD is the result of an immune-mediated attack, by T lymphocytes derived from donor bone marrow, against recipient tissues expressing minor histocompatibility antigen (miHA) differences. There is a lack of knowledge concerning the nature of in vivo immune responses to miHA during GVHD. C57BL/6By (B6/By) and BALB.B mouse strains both express the H-2B MHC haplotype but differ at more than 40 miHA loci. Both the in vitro and in vivo T cell responses to miHA expressed by BALB.B and CXB recombinant inbred (RI) strains of …

Strategies For Prevention Of Varicella Pneumonia: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis., G A Macones, S Ewing, N S Silverman

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Faculty Papers

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare the cost-effectiveness of 3 strategies of serologic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) testing and post-exposure varicella zoster immune globulin (VZIG) prophylaxis for the prevention of maternal varicella pneumonia during pregnancy in patients with negative or uncertain histories of varicella infection.

METHODS: A decision tree was constructed to compare the following strategies: 1) routine serologic testing for varicella immunity followed by targeted post-exposure VZIG prophylaxis, 2) post-exposure serologic testing followed by targeted VZIG prophylaxis, and 3) untargeted post-exposure VZIG administration. The probabilities for the model were obtained from the medical literature and supplemented …

Randomized Trial Of Erythromycin And Azithromycin For Treatment Of Chlamydial Infection In Pregnancy., M F Rosenn, G A Macones, N S Silverman

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Faculty Papers

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare erythromycin and azithromycin in the treatment of chlamydial cervicitis during pregnancy with regard to efficacy, side effects, and compliance.

METHODS: In a prospective manner, 48 pregnant patients with cervical chlamydial infections diagnosed by routine screening tests were randomly assigned to receive either erythromycin, 500 mg q.i.d. for 7 days (N = 24), or azithromycin, 1 g as a one-time dose (N = 24). All sexual partners were given prescriptions for doxycycline, 100 mg b.i.d. for 7 days. The treatment efficacy was assessed by follow-up chlamydia testing 3 weeks after the therapy …

Jefferson Hospital Staff Papers and Presentations

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that subsequent doses of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine are associated with lower incidence of COVID-19-like symptoms at 6 weeks after infection.

METHODS: This study was a case-control analysis of health care personnel in an ongoing multicenter COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness study. We enrolled participants at the time of COVID-19-like symptoms between December 19, 2021, and April 27, 2022, which corresponded to the early Omicron-predominant period after original monovalent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 additional vaccination doses became available. Our outcome was self-reported symptoms completed 6 weeks after …

Induction Of Protective Immunity Against Larval Onchocerca Volvulus In A Mouse Model., A. M. Lange, W. Yutanawiboonchai, J. B. Lok, M. Trpis, D. Abraham

Department of Microbiology and Immunology Faculty Papers

BALB/cBYJ mice were immunized against larval Onchocerca volvulus by subcutaneous injection of normal, irradiated, or freeze-thaw-killed Onchocerca sp. larvae. The mice received challenge infections of O. volvulus third-stage larva (L3) contained in diffusion chambers implanted subcutaneously. At two-weeks postinfection, the diffusion chambers were removed and larval survival was assessed. When mice were immunized a single time with 35-krad-irradiated or normal O. volvulus L3, there was a significant reduction in the survival of challenge parasites. However, there was little or no reduction in challenge worm survival when mice were immunized a single time with freeze-thaw-killed O. volvulus L3 or fourth-stage larva …
