Reducing bruising after venepuncture. (1/100)
Bruising after venepuncture is undesirable. To verify an apparent increase in bruising after introducing a new venepuncture system in a small district general hospital and to improve the venepuncture service two prospective audits of the incidence and severity of bruising after venepuncture were performed in two groups of 100 consecutive inpatients undergoing venepuncture by phlebotomists. In the first audit bruising was detected in 45 patients, of whom 34(76%) had bruises > 100 mm2 in area. After modification of the technique, whereby the phlebotomists ensured that haemostasis had been attained before leaving the patient, bruising was significantly reduced, occurring in 25 patients only 9 of whom (36%) had bruises > 100mm2 in area (both p < 0.01) in the second audit. Monitoring of standards and simple modification of technique resulted in significant reduction in incidence and severity of bruising, improving the quality of the venepuncture service. (+info)The kinetics of hematopoiesis in the light horse II. The hematological response to hemorrhagic anemia. (2/100)
Hemorrhagic anemia was experimentally produced in three Standardbred horses by removing approximately 63% of the red cell mass and the accompanying plasma during a three day interval. Red cell parameters were examined daily for 45 days and then weekly until termination of the experiment 250 days after production of the anemia. Leukocytes, platelets and bone marrow aspirates were examined at regular intervals for 25 days after the final phlebotomy. At 24 hours after the last bleeding, 75-selenomethionine was injected intravenously to measure the lifespan of the newly produced erythrocytes. The erythrocyte lifespan was found to be 139 days as compared to the 155 day erythrocyte lifespan for three normal standardbred horses measured previously by similar techniques. The maximum decrease in erythrocyte numbers occurred four, two and two days following the last phlebotomy to 43, 39 and 44% of the original values. The prebleeding erythrocyte levels were regained at approximately 63, 91 and 98 days respectively. During the initial 45 days post phlebotomy the maximum increase in mean cell colume was 2, 4 and 7 mj-3 respectively. During the recovery period there was erythrocyte production of 6.84, 6.99, and 6.12 x 10-9 cells/kg/day. At the same time the absolute production of hemoglobin was 44.6, 50.0, and 51.0/gm/day or on a relative basis 0.096, 0.114 and 0.113 gm/kg/day. (+info)A qualitative study on cultural bloodletting among Ethiopian immigrants. (3/100)
BACKGROUND: Bloodletting is practiced in Ethiopia. Physicians in Israel engaging in transcultural encounters with Ethiopian immigrants are generally unaware of these ethno-medical beliefs and practices. OBJECTIVE: To assess the past and present use of bloodletting among Ethiopian immigrants in Israel. METHODS: We interviewed a sample of 50 adult patients of Ethiopian origin about present and past use of bloodletting. A second consecutive sample of 10 adult patients of Ethiopian origin who often asked their doctors to perform blood tests were identified and interviewed. Data analysis was performed by "immersion-crystallization" analysis. RESULTS: More than half of the interviewed patients reported the use of bloodletting. Scars were commonly present on their upper extremities. A qualitative analysis identified the different reasons for the use of bloodletting, the technique used and its appreciated efficacy. We also found an unexpected cultural synergy between traditional bloodletting and western medical blood sampling. CONCLUSIONS: Some Ethiopian immigrants continue to perform traditional bloodletting in their new country of residency, a practice that local physicians may not be aware of. Bloodletting-type scars on the upper extremities may be common in these patients. Patients may ask for blood sampling as a culturally accepted way to perform bloodletting (synergy). (+info)Familial and congenital polycythemia in three unrelated families. (4/100)
Three families with polycythemia inherited through apparently different modes are described. Secondary causes of polycythemia were ruled out. Erythropoietin (EPO) levels were normal or low, even after phlebotomy. In vitro erythroid colony growth in standard assay cultures containing EPO was normal; however, in the absence of added EPO, a few progenitors from most of the affected individuals were able to generate recognizable colonies of mature erythroblasts, although these were smaller and proportionately less numerous than seen in polycythemia vera (PV). To search for EPO-receptor changes as a possible pathophysiologic mechanism, we examined, by Southern blot analysis, genomic DNA samples from affected and nonaffected family members, as well as three patients with PV. Two different probes, derived from the human EPO-receptor, were used. We found no evidence for chromosomal rearrangements or gene amplification in hereditary polycythemia or PV patients. Further, no nucleotide sequences were found that were homologous to the Friend spleen focus-forming virus glycoprotein gp55, which has been shown to bind to and activate the murine EPO-receptor. Functional studies examining number and binding affinity of the EPO-receptor on erythroid progenitors from three hereditary polycythemia patients demonstrated no abnormalities. We conclude that the mechanism(s) for the erythrocytosis in familial and congenital polycythemia and in PV may not involve the EPO-receptor and, therefore, may result from alterations of postreceptor responses. (+info)ACQUIRED PORPHYRIA CUTANEA TARDA: REPORT OF A CASE SUCCESSFULLY TREATED BY PHLEBOTOMY. (5/100)
CURRENTLY, THE PORPHYRIAS ARE CLASSIFIED IN FOUR MAIN GROUPS: congenital porphyria, acute intermittent porphyria, porphyria cutanea tarda hereditaria, and porphyria cutanea tarda symptomatica. The acquired form of porphyria (porphyria cutanea tarda symptomatica) occurs in older males and is nearly always associated with chronic alcoholism and hepatic cirrhosis. The main clinical changes are dermatological, with excessive skin fragility and photosensitivity resulting in erosions and bullae. Biochemically, high levels of uroporphyrin are found in the urine and stools. Treatment to date has been symptomatic and usually unsuccessful.A case of porphyria cutanea tarda symptomatica is presented showing dramatic improvement of both the skin lesions and porphyrin levels in urine and blood following repeated phlebotomy.Possible mechanisms of action of phlebotomy on porphyria cutanea tarda symptomatica are discussed. (+info)Hereditary haemochromatosis. (6/100)
Hereditary haemochromatosis is a very common genetic defect in the Caucasian population, with an autosomal recessive inheritance. It is characterized by inappropriately increased iron absorption from the duodenum and upper intestine, with consequent deposition in various parenchymal organs, notably the liver, pancreas, joints, heart, pituitary gland and skin, with resultant end-organ damage. Clinical features may be non-specific and include lethargy and malaise, or reflect target organ damage and present with abnormal liver tests, cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, arthropathy, cardiomyopathy, skin pigmentation and gonadal failure. Early recognition and treatment (phlebotomy) is essential to prevent irreversible complications such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The history of this condition dates as far back as 1865, but in the last decade great advances have been made. We discuss the genetics, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis and management of a condition that could easily present to a generalist, and is an important diagnosis not to miss. (+info)Performance of the Reflotron in Massachusetts' Model System for Blood Cholesterol Screening Program. (7/100)
The precision, accuracy, and durability of the Reflotron were evaluated by the Massachusetts Model Systems for Blood Cholesterol Screening Program. Screenings were conducted in diverse community settings over 16 months. Fingerstick samples from 10,428 individuals were tested. None of the four analyzers met the 1992 standards for precision, although two met the 1992 standards for accuracy. More than 40% of Reflotron values differed from the reference laboratory values by upwards of 5%. More than 16% of individuals were misclassified in terms of their risk category. All four instruments malfunctioned during the project. (+info)Changes in the rate of formation and resistance to reabsorption of cerebrospinal fluid during deliberate hypotension induced with adenosine or hemorrhage. (8/100)
Adenosine is recommended for induction of deliberate hypotension. Although its effects on brain vasculature and metabolism and intracranial pressure have been reported, its effects on cerebrospinal fluid dynamics have not. In this study the rate of cerebrospinal fluid formation (Vf), resistance to reabsorption of cerebrospinal fluid (Ra), and electroencephalogram (EEG) activity were determined in rabbits before and during decrease of cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) with intravenous (iv) adenosine or hemorrhage. In the adenosine group (n = 6), Vf and Ra were determined at control CPP, at CPP of 50, 35, and 28 mmHg achieved with iv adenosine, and at CPP greater than 60 mmHg achieved with iv adenosine combined with iv phenylephrine. In the hemorrhage group (n = 6), Vf and Ra were determined at the first four experimental conditions only. Control values for Vf (9 +/- 3 and 9 +/- 4 microliter.min-1, mean +/- SD) and Ra (428 +/- 567 and 412 +/- 144 cmH2O.ml-1.min) did not differ between groups. In the adenosine group, Vf did not change significantly when CPP was decreased. However, in the hemorrhage group, Vf decreased significantly at CPP of 50 and 35 mmHg and became unmeasurable at CPP of 28 mmHg. Ra did not change significantly in either group. An increase of low-frequency (0.5-3.0 Hz) EEG activity and/or decrease of higher-frequency (3.5-30 Hz) EEG activity occurred at CPP of 28 mmHg in the adenosine group and at CPP of 35 mmHg in the hemorrhage group.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) (+info)
