Disclosure Of Research Result To Research Participants: Needs And Attitudes Of Adolescents And Parents, Conrad Fernandez, Shaureen Taweel, Eric Kodish, Charles Weijer

Charles Weijer

BACKGROUND: Researchers have a moral responsibility to offer to return research results to participants, but the needs and attitudes of parents and adolescents with cancer in paediatric oncology regarding the issue are relatively unknown.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the needs of potential research participants or their guardians with respect to the offer of a return of research results. METHODS: A questionnaire was used in a focus group and in telephone interviews with eight adolescents and 12 parents of children with cancer. The participants were asked to respond to the questions and to comment on the inclusiveness of the questionnaire.

Does Sex Influence The Impact That Smoking, Treatment Interruption And Impaired Pulmonary Function Have On Outcomes In Limited Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer Treatment?, Gregory Videtic, Pauline Truong, Robert Ash, Edward Yu, Walter Kocha, Mark Vincent, Anna Tomiak, A Dar, Frances Whiston, Larry Stitt

Edward Yu

PURPOSE: To look for survival differences between men and women with limited stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) by examining stratified variables that impair treatment efficacy. METHODS: A retrospective review of 215 LS-SCLC patients treated from 1989 to 1999 with concurrent chemotherapy-radiotherapy modelled on the 'early-start' thoracic radiotherapy arm of a National Cancer Institute of Canada randomized trial. RESULTS: Of 215 LS-SCLC patients, 126 (58.6%) were men and 89 (41.4%) were women. Smoking status during treatment for 186 patients (86.5%) was: 107 (58%) nonsmoking (NS) (76 [71%] male [M]; 31 [29%] female [F]) and 79 (42%) smoking (S) (36 M …

Smooth Pursuit Neck Torsion Test In Whiplash Associated Disorders - Relationship To Self Reports Of Neck Pain And Disability, Dizziness And Anxiety, Julia Treleaven, Gwendolen Jull, Nancy Low Choy

Nancy Low Choy

Objective:
The smooth pursuit neck torsion test is thought to be a measure of neck afferent influence on eye movement control and is useful in assessing subjects with whiplash, especially those complaining of dizziness. Nevertheless, it is not known whether impairments identified relate only to abnormal cervical afferentation or are influenced by levels of anxiety or neck pain.

Design:
A prospective, 3-group, observational design.

Subjects:
One hundred subjects with persistent whiplash (50 complaining of dizziness, 50 not complaining of dizziness) and 50 healthy controls.

Methods:
The smooth pursuit neck torsion test was performed and analysed taking into account subjects' reported …

An Examination Of Ms Candidate Genes Identified As Differentially Regulated In Multiple Sclerosis Plaque Tissue, Using Absolute And Comparative Real-Time Q-Pcr Analysis, L. Tajouri, A. Melllick, A. Tourtellotte, R. Nagra, L. Griffiths

Lotti Tajouri

In our laboratory, we have developed methods in real-time detection and quantitative-polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR) to analyse the relative levels of gene expression in post mortem brain tissues. We have then applied this method to examine differences in gene activity between normal white matter (NWM) and plaque tissue from multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Genes were selected based on their association with pathology and through identification by previously conducted global gene expression analysis. Plaque tissue was obtained from secondary progressive (SP) patients displaying chronic active, as well as acute pathologies; while NWM from the same location was obtained from age- and …

Tobacco Control: Are We Appropriately Training Future Health Professionals, Francisco Soto Mas, Chiehwen Ed Hsu

Chiehwen Ed Hsu

Information on how health professionals perceive tobacco use as well as their attitudes toward tobacco control is scarce. This study assessed the attitudes and perceptions of public health students toward tobacco use and tobacco control, which constitutes a necessary first step in designing effective training strategies. Although the majority of respondents agreed that tobacco use constitutes a relevant public health problem, they did not perceive tobacco control to be a public health priority. Academic institutions may not be properly training public health students, and may therefore be missing the opportunity to advance tobacco control at the national and global levels.

The Effects Of Non-Contingent Extrinsic And Intrinsic Rewards On Memory Consolidation, Kristy Nielson, Ted Bryant

Kristy Nielson

Emotional and arousing treatments given shortly after learning enhance delayed memory retrieval in animal and human studies. Positive affect and reward induced prior to a variety of cognitive tasks enhance performance, but their ability to affect memory consolidation has not been investigated before. Therefore, we investigated the effects of a small, non-contingent, intrinsic or extrinsic reward on delayed memory retrieval. Participants (n = 108) studied and recalled a list of 30 affectively neutral, imageable nouns. Experimental groups were then given either an intrinsic reward (e.g., praise) or an extrinsic reward (e.g., $1). After a one-week delay, participants’ retrieval performance for …

Longitudinal Comparison Of Depressive Personality Disorder And Dysthymic Disorder, John C. Markowitz, Andrew E. Skodol, Eva Petkova, Hui Xie, Jianfeng Cheng, David J. Hellerstein, John G. Gunderson, Charles A. Sanislow, Carlos M. Grilo, Thomas H. Mcglashan

Charles A. Sanislow, Ph.D.

BACKGROUND: Few studies have compared the related diagnostic constructs of depressive personality disorder (DPD) and dysthymic disorder (DD). The authors attempted to replicate findings of Klein and Shih in longitudinally followed patients with personality disorder or major depressive disorder (MDD) in the Collaborative Longitudinal Personality Disorders Study.

METHODS: Subjects (N = 665) were evaluated at baseline and over 2 years (n = 546) by reliably trained clinical interviewers using semistructured interviews and self-report personality questionnaires.

RESULTS: Only 44 subjects (24.6% of 179 DPD and 49.4% of 89 early-onset dysthymic subjects) met criteria for both disorders at baseline. Depressive personality disorder …

Sacred Disease Of Our Times: Failure Of The Infectious Disease Model Of Spongiform Encephalopathy, Vivian Mcalister

Vivian C. McAlister

BACKGROUND: Public health and agricultural policy attempts to keep bovine spongiform encephalopathy out of North America using infectious disease containment policies. Inconsistencies of the infectious disease model as it applies to the spongiform encephalopathies may result in failure of these policies.

METHODS: Review of historical, political and scientific literature to determine the appropriate disease model of spongiform encephalopathy.

PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Spongiform encephalopathy has always occurred sporadically in man and other animals. Hippocrates may have described it in goats and cattle. Transmission of spongiform encephalopathy between individuals is too uncommon for it to be usefully considered an infection. Spongiform encephalopathy is …

Minimum Follow-Up Time Required For The Estimation Of Statistical Cure Of Cancer Patients: Verification Using Data From 42 Cancer Sites In The Seer Database, Patricia Tai, Edward Yu, Gábor Cserni, Georges Vlastos, Melanie Royce, Ian Kunkler, Vincent Vinh-Hung

Edward Yu

Background: The present commonly used five-year survival rates are not adequate to represent the statistical cure. In the present study, we established the minimum number of years required for follow-up to estimate statistical cure rate, by using a lognormal distribution of the survival time of those who died of their cancer. We introduced the term, threshold year, the follow-up time for patients dying from the specific cancer covers most of the survival data, leaving less than 2.25% uncovered. This is close enough to cure from that specific cancer. Methods: Data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database were …

Downward Delegation Of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Decision-Making In A Restricted-Resource Environment: The Pitfalls Of Bedside Rationing, Christopher Simpson, Barry Hoffmaster, Paul Dorian

C. Barry Hoffmaster

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators have been shown to reduce all-cause mortality in some patient populations at risk of sudden death. New Canadian guidelines recommend implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy for these patients. However, the need for these devices exceeds the funded volumes in many Canadian jurisdictions. As a result, rationing of this resource has been necessary. While rationing at the macro (Ministry of Health) and meso (hospital) levels has achieved some level of acceptance by society, the responsibility for the decisions taken at the micro (individual) patient level actually rests with the physician at the bedside. This 'bedside rationing' creates a moral …

Kingsley C Anukam

The recent papers by Nishijima et al 1 and Morelli et al.2 not only confirmed our previous studies that orally administered lactobacilli can confer benefits on vaginal health, but began to uncover new concepts of disease prevention. Each day, over 7,000 women acquire HIV, a disease whose prevalence is significantly raised by absence of lactobacilli from the vagina3. In addition, over 23,000 babies (conservative 7% estimate) are born premature each day, and although it’s difficult to know how many are associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV), it could represent over 2,000 babies per day. Nishijima’s use of culture and failure to …

Two-Year Prevalence And Stability Of Individual Dsm-Iv Criteria For Schizotypal, Borderline, Avoidant, And Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorders: Toward A Hybrid Model Of Axis Ii Disorders, Thomas H. Mcglashan, Carlos M. Grilo, Charles A. Sanislow, Elizabeth Ralevski, Leslie C. Morey, John G. Gunderson, Andrew E. Skodol, M. Tracie Shea, Mary C. Zanarini, Donna S. Bender, Robert L. Stout, Shirley Yen, Maria E. Pagano

Charles A. Sanislow, Ph.D.

OBJECTIVE: This study tracked the individual criteria of four DSM-IV personality disorders-borderline, schizotypal, avoidant, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders-and how they change over 2 years.

METHOD: This clinical sample of patients with personality disorders was derived from the Collaborative Longitudinal Personality Disorders Study and included all participants with borderline, schizotypal, avoidant, or obsessive-compulsive personality disorder for whom complete 24-month blind follow-up assessments were obtained (N=474). The authors identified and rank-ordered criteria for each of the four personality disorders by their variation in prevalence and changeability (remission) over time.

RESULTS: The most prevalent and least changeable criteria over 2 years were paranoid …

Cranio-Cervical Stabilization Of Traumatic Atlanto-Occipital Dislocation With Minimal Resultant Neurological Deficit, Pennie Seibert, P. Stridh-Igo, T. Whitmore, B. Dufty, C. Zimmerman

Pennie S. Seibert

Our purpose is to describe a case of atlanto-occipital dislocation and discuss treatment approaches to minimize subsequent neurological deficits. Traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation, has traditionally been considered rare and lethal, due to resulting high levels of spinal cord injury. Outcomes are generally expected to be poor. However, recent case reports indicate that survival is increasing. Of patients who survive cranio-cervical dislocation, many endure resulting neurological deficits.

We present a rare case of a 23-year-old male, who sustained an atlanto-occipital dislocation in a motor vehicle accident. The patient presented with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of 11T. Lateral C-spine x-ray and thin-section …
