Thrombolytic Therapy For Acute Myocardial Infarction In The Elderly, Bernard Bun-Lap Wong, Wai-Hong Chen Apr 2001

Thrombolytic Therapy For Acute Myocardial Infarction In The Elderly, Bernard Bun-Lap Wong, Wai-Hong Chen

Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology

Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Patients ≥75 years constitute up to 30% of the acute MI population and are associated with a 50% in-hospital mortality. Thrombolytic therapy was shown in a metaanalysis of 9 largest randomized controlled trials to reduce 35-day mortality. However, the benefit was observed mainly among patients < 75 years old. For patients ≥ 75 years, the 35-day mortality was 24.3% in those treated with thrombolytic therapy and 25.3% in the placebo group, a difference not reaching statistical significance.

From Correctional Custody To Community: The Massachusetts Forensic Transition Program, Stephanie W. Hartwell, Donna Haig Friedman, Karin Orr Mar 2001

From Correctional Custody To Community: The Massachusetts Forensic Transition Program, Stephanie W. Hartwell, Donna Haig Friedman, Karin Orr

New England Journal of Public Policy

Offenders with mental illness who are serving correctional sentences are released to the community.Without support systems linking their transition to community-based programs following release from prison, the services necessary for their community reintegration are often fragmented and attenuated. Nearly two thirds of all inmates return to prison, and offenders with mental illness face major challenges during reintegration and have an even more difficult time living in the community without specialized, informed services. This article describes a Massachusetts program designed to bridge the transition of offenders with mental illness from incarceration to the community.The authors review historical and recent trends that …


Intramuscular Sensory Neurolysis : A New Technique To Control Spasticity, Chang-Zern Hong Mar 2001

Intramuscular Sensory Neurolysis : A New Technique To Control Spasticity, Chang-Zern Hong

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

This preliminary report demonstrated a new technique, “intramuscular sensory neurolysis” (IMSN), to control the muscle spasticity. Similar to myofascial trigger point (MTrP) injection, the needle were rapidly inserted, for a short distance (1 mm) each thrust, into the MTrP region (in the endplate zone) to elicit local twitch responses to identify the terminal sensory fibers for phenol injection. Immediate relief of spasticity was noticed both subjectively and objectively after IMSN. As compared with the traditional motor point block, the advantage of IMSN includes: 1) less time (usually 3-5 minutes for each MTrP region) required to perform the whole procedure in …


The Knowledge, Attitude And Behavioral Intention Of Taditional Chinese Medicine Among People With Spinal Cord Injury, Hong-Li Lee, Liu-Ing Bih, Pesus Chou Mar 2001

The Knowledge, Attitude And Behavioral Intention Of Taditional Chinese Medicine Among People With Spinal Cord Injury, Hong-Li Lee, Liu-Ing Bih, Pesus Chou

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The goal of this study was to explore knowledge, attitude and behavioral intention towards traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) among people with spinal cord injury (SCI). 155 valid sample questionnaires were collected and the following results were drawn from descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The item with highest percentage being answered accurately was ”traditional Chinese drugs are made in different forms, such as boiled soup, pills, or condensed powder”. The greatest agreement regarding attitude toward positive tendency to TCM was ”agree that SCI victims are free of charge to take TCM service under the policy of health insurance”. Regarding behavioral intention …


The Effects Of Magnets On Nerve Conduction Studies In Human, Shih-Ching Chen, Chao-Jung Chen, Chien-Hung Lai, Wei-Han Chiang, Jing-Hwa Way, Cheng-Feng Chiang Mar 2001

The Effects Of Magnets On Nerve Conduction Studies In Human, Shih-Ching Chen, Chao-Jung Chen, Chien-Hung Lai, Wei-Han Chiang, Jing-Hwa Way, Cheng-Feng Chiang

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Background and purpose: Magnetic fields have been widely used in diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of magnets on nerve conduction studies (NCS) in human. Methods: After excluding subjects with peripheral neuropathy or diabetic neuropathy, 12 normal subjects were recruited (mean age is 30.0 ± 5.2 years old; 5 are female and 7 are male). Two magnets were individually placed on the left distal wrist crease and on the forearm 5 cm distal to the elbow crease, where the median nerve goes underneath. NCS was performed before and 15 minutes during …


Scoliosis Among The Students Of Elementary Schools In Taitung City, Yun-Sheng Chen, Chien-Feng Huang Mar 2001

Scoliosis Among The Students Of Elementary Schools In Taitung City, Yun-Sheng Chen, Chien-Feng Huang

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The goal of the study is to assess the prevalence, severity, and correlation with sex and age associated with scoliosis in elementary school children in Taitung city. A total of 5,611 children were screened characteristically for scoliosis using Adam’s forward bending test. Those schoolchildren who had positive forward bending test were referred to hospital for whole spinal radiographs, so that the Cobb angle could be quantified to evaluate the severity of scoliosis. 115 children had positive signs in screening test for scoliosis; the positive rate was 2.05% (girls: 2.46%, boys: 1.68%); and the positive rate of the children above 10 …


Treatment Of Atlanto-Axial Rotatory Subluxation With Manipulation, Sen-Wei Tsai, Chomg-Sonq Chou Mar 2001

Treatment Of Atlanto-Axial Rotatory Subluxation With Manipulation, Sen-Wei Tsai, Chomg-Sonq Chou

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Infantile torticollis is a common condition in rehabilitation clinics. Acute torticollis due to atlanto-axial rotatory subluxation, however, is an uncommon condition in children. The diagnosis is usually delayed due to difficulty in the evaluation of roentgenograms, as well as to clinicians’ unawareness of this disorder. Delayed unrecognized atlanto-axial subluxation may make the treatment more complicated. Here, we review three cases who had atlanto-axial rotatory subluxation successfully treated with manipulation.


"Intractable Hiccup Associated With Lateral Medullary Syndrome : A Casereport And Literature Review, Chiao-Wen Hwang, Jue-Long Wang, Shwu-Fen Sun, Yuh-Te Lin Mar 2001

"Intractable Hiccup Associated With Lateral Medullary Syndrome : A Casereport And Literature Review, Chiao-Wen Hwang, Jue-Long Wang, Shwu-Fen Sun, Yuh-Te Lin

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Intractable hiccup, or chronic hiccup, is a rare manifestation. Although it is not common in the patients with cerebral infarction, the incidence of intractable hiccup seems to be higher in brainstem stroke. Because of intractable hiccup, the patients will be severely affected physically and emotionally during feeding, sleep activities, and even rehabilitation program. Intractable hiccup also results in a lot of complications, such as malnutrition, weight loss, aspiration pneumonia, myofascial pain syndrome, reflux esophagitis and sliding hernia. There are numerous therapies for intractable hiccup recommended through the years, but the effects are variable. Here we discuss more details about the …
