Page 2/28 Abstract Background: Multiple diagnostic procedures, their results and interpretation in a case with severe lameness in fattening pigs are described. It is shown that selected diagnostic steps lead to identication of various risk factors for disease development in the affected herd. One focus of this case report is the prioritization of diagnostic steps to verify the impact of the different conditions, which nally led to the clinical disorder. Disease is the consequence of previously acting factors, and the involved diagnostic institute is the last stage in the timeline. Some diagnostic ndings might therefore no longer be signicant.

  • Frequency and Criticality of Diagnoses in Family Medicine Practices: from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS)
    J Am Board Fam Med: first published as 10.3122/jabfm.2018.01.170209 on 12 January 2018. Downloaded from ORIGINAL RESEARCH Frequency and Criticality of Diagnoses in Family Medicine Practices: From the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) Michael R. Peabody, PhD, Thomas R. O’Neill, PhD, Keith L. Stelter, MD, MMM, and James C. Puffer, MD Background: Family medicine is a specialty of breadth, providing comprehensive health care for the individual and the family that integrates the broad scope of clinical, social, and behavioral sciences. As such, the scope of practice (SOP) for family medicine is extensive; however, over time many family phy- sicians narrow their SOP. We sought to provide a nationally representative description of the most com- mon and the most critical diagnoses that family physicians see in their practice. Methods: Data were extracted from the 2012 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) to select all ICD-9 codes reported by family physicians. A panel of family physicians then reviewed 1893 ICD-9 codes to place each code into an American Board of Family Medicine Family Medicine Certifica- tion Examination test plan specifications (TPS) category and provide a rating for an Index of Harm (IoH). Results: An analysis of all 1893 ICD-9 codes seen by family physicians in the 2012 NAMCS found that 198 ICD-9 codes could not be assigned a TPS category, leaving 1695 ICD-9 codes in the dataset. Top 10 lists of ICD-9 codes by TPS category were created for both frequency and IoH. Conclusions: This study provides a nationally representative description of the most common diag- copyright.

  • Immunopathologic Studies in Relapsing Polychondritis
    Immunopathologic Studies in Relapsing Polychondritis Jerome H. Herman, Marie V. Dennis J Clin Invest. 1973;52(3):549-558. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI107215. Research Article Serial studies have been performed on three patients with relapsing polychondritis in an attempt to define a potential immunopathologic role for degradation constituents of cartilage in the causation and/or perpetuation of the inflammation observed. Crude proteoglycan preparations derived by disruptive and differential centrifugation techniques from human costal cartilage, intact chondrocytes grown as monolayers, their homogenates and products of synthesis provided antigenic material for investigation. Circulating antibody to such antigens could not be detected by immunodiffusion, hemagglutination, immunofluorescence or complement mediated chondrocyte cytotoxicity as assessed by 51Cr release. Similarly, radiolabeled incorporation studies attempting to detect de novo synthesis of such antibody by circulating peripheral blood lymphocytes as assessed by radioimmunodiffusion, immune absorption to neuraminidase treated and untreated chondrocytes and immune coprecipitation were negative. Delayed hypersensitivity to cartilage constituents was studied by peripheral lymphocyte transformation employing [3H]thymidine incorporation and the release of macrophage aggregation factor. Positive results were obtained which correlated with periods of overt disease activity. Similar results were observed in patients with classical rheumatoid arthritis manifesting destructive articular changes. This study suggests that cartilage antigenic components may facilitate perpetuation of cartilage inflammation by cellular immune mechanisms.

  • Are Serum Aluminum Levels a Risk Factor in the Appearance of Spontaneous Pneumothorax?
    Turk J Med Sci 2010; 40 (3): 459-463 Original Article © TÜBİTAK E-mail: [email protected] doi:10.3906/sag-0901-11 Are serum aluminum levels a risk factor in the appearance of spontaneous pneumothorax? Serdar HAN1, Rasih YAZKAN2, Bülent KOÇER3,*, Gültekin GÜLBAHAR3, Serdal Kenan KÖSE4, Koray DURAL3, Ünal SAKINCI3 Aim: To investigate the relationship between aluminum and spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) development. Materials and methods: A patient group and a control group were formed with 100 individuals in each. The serum aluminum levels of the groups were determined and statistically compared. Results: The mean serum aluminum levels were 5.6 ± 2.4 μg/L (1.6-11.9) and 23.2 ± 15.4 μg/L (2-81) in the control and SP groups, respectively (P < 0.001). The specificity and sensitivity of the measurement of aluminum level were 74.4% and 86.4% in the SP group. The risk of SP development was found to be 18 times higher in individuals with high serum levels of aluminum compared to that in individuals with low serum levels of aluminum. Conclusion: A high level of aluminum is a risk factor for the development of SP. Key words: Aluminum, pneumothorax, public health Spontan pnömotoraks gelişiminde serum aluminyum seviyeleri bir risk faktörü müdür? Amaç: Bu çalışmada spontan pnömotoraks (SP) gelişimi ile serum aluminyum düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin analiz edilmesi amaçlandı. Yöntem ve gereç: Yüz SP hastasından oluşan hasta grubunun yanı sıra 100 kişiden oluşan sağlıklı kontrol grubu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Gruplar serum aluminyum düzeyleri açısından istatistiksel olarak kıyaslandı. Bulgular: Ortalama serum aluminyum düzeyleri SP ve kontrol grupları için sırasıyla 5,6 ± 2,4 μg/L (1,6-11,9) ve 23,2 ± 15,4 μg/L (2-81) bulundu (P < 0,001).
