Training in emergency medicine is full of fascinating encounters. Over the course of medical school and residency we will amass a huge body of intangible experience. Much of this we share with our immediate peers, residents, and classmates, as a part of our own coping and cataloguing mechanisms. However, much of it is also an important part of our learning process. I cannot begin to relay how much I have learned, not from books I will never read as much as my residency director would like me to ; but from the experience of my fellow residents. Not only have I learned about the practice of medicine, but about the practice of life as a medical professional. This is a new section for this journal. As it stands there are no official boundaries. We the collective resident student population ; can fill it as we see fit. There are many outlets for statistically significant randomized, blinded, meta-prospective studies about variable dosing of phenytoin in post-ictal rats. However, there are very few places to share on a wider front, the more nebulous, but not necessarily less important experiential aspects of our training. Wow, that sounds a bit `new-agey.' ; Hopefully this will spark some interesting discussion and we can learn and laugh a little in the process. Submissions of any kind interesting stories, poems, prose, fact, fiction, and outside-the-box research proposals ; may be sent to Jason Quinn jquinn hghed.
Estradiol protected the heart against infarct sizes and reperfusion arrhythmias remain to be defined. Clearly, estrogen did not exert any hemodynamic effects and was not associated with an increase in myocardial blood flow at the dose used in this study. Rate pressure product, an index of myocardial oxygen consumption, was similar throughout the study among the groups, indicating that changes in myocardial metabolism cannot be a mechanism for beneficial effect of the drug. The finding was consistent with the result of McHugh et al. 1995 ; , showing the unchanged hemodynamics throughout ischemia reperfusion in dogs treated with estrogen at a physiological dose. Collateral blood flow during coronary occlusion among the six groups was similar, demonstrating that the differences in infarct sizes and arrhythmic incidence were not explained by collateral blood flow. The lack of effect of ICI 182, 780 on infarct-limiting and antiarrhythmic effects of estrogen suggests that these favorable effects of estrogen are direct, nongenomic effects different from the classical intracellular estrogen receptors. The ability of estrogens to target genomic and nongenomic mechanisms leads to activation of signaling pathways, which may occur within minutes or require hours. The mechanisms by which estrogens affect cell function independent of their binding to estrogen receptors are not well understood. Because estrogens are lipophilic, it has been suggested that they could alter the interaction of cell membrane lipids and proteins by changing the structure of sarcolemmal lipid membranes Russell et al., 2000 ; . However, whether myocardial response to estrogen can be mediated by estrogen binding to a cell surface form of estrogen receptor remained unknown. 17 -Estradiol has been shown to activate K channels in some Sudhir et al., 1995; Hugel et al., 1999 ; but not all studies Nakajima et al., 1999; Tanabe et al., 1999 ; . The ATP-sensitive K channel, a member of the superfamily of Kir channels, is a heteromultimer composed of a pore-forming K channel core and a regulating ATP-binding cassette protein Jovanovic et al., 1999 ; . However, a Kir blocker terikalant has no effect on the current of ATP-sensitive K channel Escande, 1989 ; . Thus, it.

Proteins, such as guanosine triphosphate.[10] In its presence, polymerized microtubules are not disassembled; rather, static depolymerization disrupts normal mitosis and arrests cells in the G2-M phase of the cell cycle, thereby leading to apoptosis. The final common pathway of antitubulin agents appears to be phosphorylation of an antiapoptotic protein, bcl-2. Phosphorylation of bcl-2 inhibits its ability to complex with and inhibit the proapoptotic protein bax. In the laboratory, docetaxel appears to be more potent than paclitaxel in phosphorylating bcl-2, which is overexpressed in patients with castrate metastatic prostate cancer, [8] and which contributes to neoplastic progression by enhancing tumor cell survival.[10] Results of tissue culture studies have also suggested that docetaxel is 100 times more active than paclitaxel in all prostate cell lines tested, with the docetaxel dose required for 50% inhibition of tumor growth 60-fold lower than that required for paclitaxel.[11] Both paclitaxel and docetaxel have been evaluated as single agents and in combination with a variety of compounds, including estramustine, hydrocortisone, carboplatin, etoposide, and dexamethasone. The rationale for such regimens is to combine agents that potentially target different but synergistic protein products in order to boost cytotoxicity while achieving more durable, curative responses.[10] Prednisone and other corticosteroids have also been shown to positively affect treatment of advanced prostate cancer through their influence on bone pain and PSA declines.[12] Trials of single-agent paclitaxel have demonstrated the schedule dependency of the drug. When paclitaxel is administered as a 24-hour continuous infusion every 3 weeks, a 4% PSA and measurable disease response rate was observed, with significant myelosuppression and neurotoxicity. Weekly administration of paclitaxel appears to have more activity: PSA response rates have ranged from 20% to 39%. In these studies, paclitaxel was generally well tolerated. Therapy with single-agent docetaxel, administered either weekly or every 3 weeks, demonstrated PSA decline rates ranging from 41% to 46% and measurable disease response rates of 17% to 33%.[13-16] Among the various agents used in combination with docetaxel, estramustine, a conjugate of estradiol and nitrogen mustard, has been most widely investigated, due to its.

The present study investigates the effect of AngII on ovarian steroidogenesis in vitro. These results suggest that AngII has a regulatory role on progesterone synthesis by human granulosa cells in culture. The action of AngII was dependent on the time for which the cells had been cultured prior to exposure, which may provide an answer to the controversies reported in the literature Aguilera et al., 1989; Alam et al., 1991; Pucell et al., 1991; Yoshimura et al., 1993; Li et al., 1995 ; , in studies performed during various developmental stages of ovarian follicles. The inhibitory effect of AngII on progesterone secretion observed in cells cultured for 2 days was in accordance with the great inhibition of 3-HSD activity exerted by AngII, indicating that the action of the peptide on granulosa cell steroidogenesis may be mediated, at least in part, by inhibition at the level of enzyme synthesis. The different actions of AngII on progesterone synthesis observed in this study may also be related to the luteinization of granulosa cells during culture, as has been reported by several authors Meidan et al., 1990; Richards, 1991 ; . On the other hand, in adrenal glomerulosa, AngII stimulates aldosterone secretion Aguilera, 1993 ; and in human fasciculata-reticularis cells in vitro, but not in vivo, the peptide stimulated the production of cortisol, by inducing mRNA and protein expression of P450 cholesterol side-chain cleavage, P450 17-hydroxylase and 3-HSD Lebrethon et al., 1994 ; . In cultured human granulosa cells, the action of AngII on progesterone secretion was timeand dose-dependent, affecting 3-HSD activity. In the present study, no significant changes were observed in 3-HSD mRNA expression. Nevertheless, the regulatory action of AngII on the activity and expression of ovarian steroid enzymes is still not clear and merits further investigation. The lack of effect of HCG on progesterone production in cells cultured for 2 days may be a consequence of downregulation of the HCG receptors, as a response to the pharmacological doses of HCG administered to the patients 36 h before follicle aspiration. Furthermore, it is known that, in the.

The oncologist at the cancer center told me he hadn't chosen to be a pancreatic cancer specialist, pancreatic cancer had chosen him. He sees over 200 new patients a year with the disease. I started chemotherapy in May 2005 with a combination of gemcitabine Gemzar ; and docetaxel Taxotere ; . Being in cancer clinics was what I did every day for work, but being on the receiving end of the IV needle is a daunting experience. We started chemotherapy with a positive attitude - a "laughter is the best medicine" approach to every challenge we met. I tolerated chemo well, with just a few aches and pains a couple of days after therapy. I have now received over 50 chemo infusions and continue to tolerate it well. In fact, one of the nurses named me "the chemo stud", and since my wife is part Native-American, we call her my "chemo sabe". The Lone Ranger was called "Kemo Sabe" by his sidekick Tonto, who said it meant "faithful friend" in his native language.
First ascertain what methods the youth knows about and is interested in. Briefly describe all the options.

Demonstration of the trypanosome is mandatory before treatment can be administered to a sleeping sickness case, due to the toxicity of the drugs used. Due to the costs of staffing and equipping sleeping sickness treatment facilities, few health units are equipped for treating the disease. The endemic area for sleeping sickness in most countries is vast, with poor coverage by fixed post health units for diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Therefore, most sleeping sickness patients travel more than 5km to receive treatment. The problem of poor accessibility to diagnosis and subsequent treatment may be alleviated by the use of mobile teams. However, this is more rewarding where a valid screening test is commercially available. The card agglutination test for trypanosomiasis CATT ; is such a test. It has good sensitivity and specificity Magnus et al, 1978 ; but it is only useful for the gambiense form of sleeping sickness. A similar test for the rhodesiense form of the disease is required before mobile teams can provide a rewarding strategy for routine diagnosis and treatment. A new test, the card indirect agglutination trypanosomiasis test TrypTectCIATT ; , is reported to have good sensitivity for both forms of sleeping sickness Nantulya, 1997 ; and is to undergo further field evaluation TDR, 1999 ; . In Uganda, mobile teams are used in the north-west with support from a non-governmental organization Mdecins sans Frontires, France during outbreaks in the south.

| Docetaxel for menSMC recommendation Advice: following a full submission Docetaxel Taxotere ; in combination with prednisolone is not recommended for use within NHS Scotland for the treatment of patients with metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer mHRPC ; . Overall, docetaxel offers an improvement in median survival of 2.4 months, improved pain control, greater reduction in PSA levels and improved quality of life compared with the current standard chemotherapy regimen. However, the cost effectiveness of docetaxel for mHRPC has not been demonstrated Click here for SMC link Tayside recommendation Not recommended Points for consideration: In the pivotal study, grade 3 4 toxicities were generally higher in patients receiving docetaxel versus the mitoxantrone comparator. At 9, 700 per course, docetaxel is considerably more expensive than existing mitoxantrone chemotherapy. The cost-effectiveness of docetaxel versus existing mHRPC chemotherapy depends on the increase in cost of treatment in relation to increase in length and quality of life. NICE guidance on docetaxel for the treatment of mHRPC is expected in July 2006.
