Treatment Of Paget's Bone Disease With The Bisphosphonate Apd, Carlos A. Mautalen

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Thirty-two patients with Paget's bone disease have been treated with the bisphosphonate APD. Nineteen had previously received treatment for Paget's disease with EHDP alone or in combination with calcitonin; 13 had not previously received treatment for Paget's disease. APD was given in a mean dose of 6.8 mg/kg of body weight during a period of 6 to 12 months. Bone pain disappeared or diminished in 91% of the patients. A very significant diminution of the biochemical indices of bone turnover was observed in all patients, but the response occurred faster in patients who had not previously received treatment for Paget's …

The Infulence Of Acupuncture Stimulation On The Bursa And Synovium Of Knee Joint In Rabbit, 楚文 沈, 世培 李, 德讓 趙, 毅 林, 功立 郭

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

內、外膝眼與陰、陽陵泉是針灸在臨床上常用的穴位，用以治療膝關節疼痛。但是用膝眼治療一段時期以後，常有滑囊炎之發生，而陰、陽陵泉卻甚少有不正常之現象。本實驗之設計即在于探討針刺這些穴位對組織之傷害。將十五隻紐西蘭種白兔分為三組，每組五隻。第一組每日針刺陰、陽陵泉及內、外膝眼各二次。第二組與第一組刺同樣穴位，但每日僅一次。第三組每三日針刺陰、陽陵泉各一次。針刺前，先測定各組白兔之關節圍度，血液中之紅血球、白血球計數，及血色素濃度與紅血球沉降速率，並做膝關節X光攝影。經過針刺15日，30日，60日，120日後，每組分別重複前述各項檢查，並從各組任意犧牲一隻白兔做關節滑囊之切片檢查。比較不同之針刺頻率及部位，對關節及其周圍組織之傷害。結果顯示，關節及其周圍組織所產生之病變，的確與針刺之頻率及時間之長短有關。尤其，針刺之頻率愈高、時間愈長，對組織之傷害程度也就愈大。因此，同一穴位之針刺頻率及時間不宜過多；其針刺間隔最好在一日或二日以上，時間以不超過60日為宜。

Motor Nerve Conduction Velocity Across Elbow Of Ulnar Nerve Among Young Chinese, Ruey-Chyuan Chiou, Fu-Kong Lieu, Shih-Pei Lee, Shing-Ming Sung

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Because there is no standard data available for normal Chinese in assessing patients with tardy ulnar palsy, we performed this study to establish normal values of motor nerve conduction velocity (NCV) in crossing elbow.Twenty subjects, age between 20-35 years, were examined with Meditro Model 440 EMG, the room temperature was controlled around 22.0±1℃ by air conditioning. The results of mean normal motor NCV in different segments of ulnar nerve are as follows: below elbow to wrist is 66.45±6.28 m/sec; above elbow to wrist is 57.72±3.99 m/sec; across elbow is 46.64±5.81 m/sec. The normal range of motor NCV in crossing elbow …

Standards Of Medical Care Based On Consensus Rather Than Evidence: The Case Of Routine Bedrail Use For The Elderly, Howard S. Rubenstein, Frances H. Miller, Sholem Postel, Hilda B. Evans

Faculty Scholarship

“An 88-year-old male patient was found on his hands and knees on the floor beside his bed. The bedrails were up.”—From an indent report filed by a nurse at the Stillman Infirmary, University Health Services, Harvard University, in May 1980.

Finding elderly patients lying on the floor beside their beds despite the presence of elevated bedrails seems paradoxical: how can a patient fall out of bed when the bedrails are up? Surprisingly, this paradox constitutes one of the leading incidents plaguing hospitals in the United States today. It exemplifies a much larger problem created, we believe, by the uncritical adoption …
