In HIV negative people, a group of drugs called bisphosphonates is usually ver y effective at increasing bone density in men and women. Examples of these drugs include the following: alendronate Fosamax ; risedronate Actonel ; zoledronic acid zoledronate, Zometa ; These drugs work by limiting the breakdown of bone and the release of calcium from bones. Results from small studies of these drugs in HIV positive people have been mixed. However, two recent studies--one in the United States called ACTG 5163 using the drug alendronate and the other from New Zealand using zoledronic acid-- are much more promising. Other medications that can improve bone density, such as parathyroid hormone and calcitonin, are ver y expensive and have not been tested in controlled clinical trials with HIV positive people.

It is normal for you and your family to experience emotional distress while facing ovarian cancer. However, when emotional upset is long-lasting or interferes with your ability to carry on day-to-day activities, there may be reason for concern. One type of distress, clinical depression, is a treatable illness that may occur in some people who are dealing with cancer and, in these cases, patients or family members should consult their health care team for appropriate help including medication and counseling if necessary and advair.

AGENT In 1965, a biochemist working at Dow Chemical Company, Alexander T. Shulgin, synthesized MDMA. Dr. Shulgin was fascinated by psychoactive substances, and explored and synthesized hundreds of them. In 1978, Shulgin published the first scientific article on the effects of MDMA on humans, noting that the drug caused people to open up socially, turning timid users into garrulous talkers. It seemed to reverse any social deficiency. MDMA, he said, "could be all things to all people." Shulgin recommended MDMA to Dr. Leo Zoff, a psychiatrist who began to use it in therapy. MDMA.

Collectively Plaintiffs ; , brought an action against Doctor Beach, ComCare, and Doctor Tran collectively Defendants ; , alleging their negligence, neglect, and abuse of Ms. McGill entitled Plaintiffs to recover under both APSA and MMA. Defendants moved to dismiss the APSA claim on the grounds that acts of medical negligence could not form the basis for an APSA action. Judge Hotham, the trial judge, ruled that an action based on negligence could be maintained under either or both acts. Defendants subsequently moved for summary judgment, alleging that under the facts of the case, Plaintiffs' theories were necessarily based on Defendants' acts of medical malpractice, thus precluding an APSA action. By that time, the case had been transferred to Judge Albrecht, who ruled that Plaintiffs' APSA claim was based on Defendants' malpractice in caring for Ms. McGill and that something more than malpractice must be shown to establish an APSA and alendronate.

ABSTRACT: The rise of the biological causation model in the past thirty years is traced to psychiatry's efforts to regain lost status and to protect itself from intrusions by non-medical practitioners, as well as to the pharmaceutical industry's drive for profits. Evidence in support of the model, including studies of identical twins and of brain structure and function, are less revealing than was earlier thought, due to problems in methodology and interpretation. Organized psychiatry, when challenged in 2003, was unable to provide compelling evidence for biological causation of most mental and behavioral disorders. A paradigm shift away from biological causation and toward environmental causation is called for. KEYWORDS: biological causation; pharmaceutical industry; organized psychiatry; efficacy of psychotropic medications; identical twins; brain imaging; paradigm.

Despite the high rates of physical illness in patients with mental illness, why then is the detection rate so poor? This question can be best addressed by looking at factors related to patients, doctors and the healthcare system.20, 21 Patient factors People with schizophrenia are less likely to report physical symptoms than healthy controls. This could be explained by the cognitive impairment that can occur with chronic schizophrenia, where the physical problem is not recognised by the person. However, it may also be explained by the general suspiciousness and social isolation of some people with schizophrenia, leading to a reluctance to present to the doctor in the first place. It has also been observed that people with schizophrenia may have a high pain tolerance and decreased pain sensitivity, a phenomenon that is not yet understood.22 People who are depressed often suffer from fatigue, poor motivation and a sense of hopelessness, which may result in poor attendance. Poor communication skills further limit the ability of psychiatric patients to express themselves clearly. If the patient does attend for treatment, they may not be able to fully understand the healthcare advice given by the doctor, or may be incapable of implementing the lifestyle changes advised. Poor insight often leads to poor compliance with pharmacological treatment. Many of this patient group are highly mobile, changing address frequently or are homeless. This can result in lack of adequate follow up and less continuity of care by the general practitioner and the consultant psychiatrist. Doctor factors There is no clear consensus yet as to whether the general practitioner or the psychiatrist is responsible for the physical needs of the psychiatric patient. It has been established that many, but not all, mental health practitioners have little training in physical care and many psychiatrists feel they have become deskilled in such management and feel that this responsibility lies with some other physician.23 Studies have also shown that physical examination of psychiatric inpatients by junior psychiatrists is often poor.24 Felker et al showed that in many cases, physical disease will not be diagnosed and treated when a patient is admitted to a psychiatric unit.25 It is also possible that the physical.

Roberta C. Mirasol, MD St. Luke's Medical Center. As a result of growing health concerns about the increasing use of radiology services, as well as their increasing costs, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Missouri is implementing a new program. We are working with American Imaging Management to establish a radiology utilization and quality management program for outpatient diagnostic imaging services. Our goal is to help improve the quality and appropriateness of diagnostic imaging services. Effective Oct. 1, network physicians must precertify certain outpatient diagnostic imaging services. These services include: Computed Tomography CT ; Computed Tomographic Angiography CTA ; Magnetic Resonance Angiography MRA ; Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI ; Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy MRS ; Nuclear Cardiology Positron Emission Tomography PET ; Outpatient diagnostic imaging services performed in the emergency room, at an urgent care center or ambulatory surgery center, or during an inpatient or observation stay will not require precertification. If a member receives care from a network physician, the physician will request precertification for the required services. If the physician does not obtain precertification, the member will not be penalized. The use and cost of imaging services are expected to grow each year. In fact, use of imaging services is increasing at a rate of 28 percent annually, according to the Booz Allen Hamilton 2003 Medical Technology Cost Management Strategy Report. Additionally, a study by Columbia University and published in the September 2004 issue of Radiology suggests that repeated CT scans may be a risk to health. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Missouri is committed to ensuring that members receive appropriate services and the highest level of benefits from their health plan.

THYROID CANCER IN NORTH EASTERN LIBYA Ahmed M. Swalem, F M Bugrara M A Bumdas. Endocrine Unit, University Department of Medicine, 7th October Hospital, Benghazi. Libya. aswalem51 yahoo Introduction: Thyroid cancer accounts for less than 1% of all human malignant disease. Little is known about thyroid cancer in Libya although nodular thyroid disease is common. Objectives : to assess the numbers and types of thyroid cancer in NE Libya diagnosed over a ten year period and to assess the locally available facilities to manage such cases. Methods: retrospective analysis of case records from the three major hospitals in Benghazi and the clinics affiliated to them over a ten year period 1996-2006 ; . Results: A total of eighty seven cases of thyroid cancer were detected over the ten year period. The F: M ratio was 4.4 : 1. Most cases 78% ; were in the age group 20-60 years. 96.8 % of cases presented with asymptomatic neck swelling : single nodule 79.65 %, multinodular goiter 15.6%, and diffuse goiter in 4.6%. One case 1.68% ; presented with toxic goiter and another case 1.68% ; presented with cervical lymphadenopathy without goiter. Diagnostic aids included ultrasonic examination of the neck in all cases, CT scan and radioactive iodine scan in some cases, and fine needle aspiration cytology and excisional biopsy in all cases. Most common histological type was papillary carcinoma in 63.2%, followed by follicular 17.2%, medullary 4.9%, anaplastic in 2.2%, and other types in five case 2 insular type, 1 Hurthle cell type, 1 sequamous type, and 1 metastatic ; . No metastases were detected with the available diagnostic facilities ; in 86.2% of cases at the time of presentation. 13.8% of cases had metastases : 9 cases 10.3% ; in cervical lymphnodes, 5 cases 5.7% ; cervical lymphnodes and local infiltration, and two cases had distant metastases : one lung and one spine metastases. All cases were treated by surgery lobectomy, hemithyroidectomy , or total thyroidectomy ; followed in many cases by radioactive iodine ablation and TSH-suppresion therapy and chemotherapy. Some diagnostic facilities are available and fairly reliable such as ultrasonography, CT and a MRI scans. Thyroglobulin test is not always available, radioactive iodine scanning and therapy are not available. Cytology and histopathology reports are sometimes doubtful. All surgeons were involved in these cases and sometimes a named surgeon is preferred. Cure rates could not be assessed as most cases were followed-up abroad. Conclusions: Clinical presentations and histological types of thyroid cancer in north eastern Libya are not dissimilar from those in the world literature. Incidence rates can of thyroid cancer cannot be calculated assessed from this study. The results of this study should be confirmed by further studies with improved diagnostic facilities. The locally available facilities to manage cases of thyroid cancer are inadequate and there is an urgent need to improve them. OC5. TYPE 2 DIABETES IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS IN TRIPOLI, LIBYA.

Traditionally type 2 Diabetes is a disease of adults, but in the last 2decades, it has been increasingly recognized in children and adolescents. Furthermore, as we are actually facing a constant growth in the prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents, type 2 diabetes will predictably be found more frequently in other population outside its classical high risk group. Objectives: We aimed to identify and characterize type 2 diabetes in Tripoli and the surrounding districts and to assess the outcome of treatment of type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents. Patients and methods: In this study we reviewed 343 children who were being diagnosed to have diabetes over the last 2 years 2005-2006 ; at the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes, Tripoli Medical Centre.
