Table 3. Characterization of type 1 diabetic patients with and without positive thyroid antibodies. Figure 3: Methamphetamine lab setup in abandon house. Three separate controlled cooks were conducted during this portion of the project. A cook using the red phosphorous method was conducted in the kitchen of the abandoned house and two hypophosphorous cooks were conducted in the bedroom. The salting out operations for all of the cooks were conducted in the kitchen. Samples were taken for phosphine, iodine, and hydrogen chloride for all of the operations. Samples were taken in close proximity to the cook generally immediately above the cook ; , at a distance away from the cook 10 feet to 15 feet distant ; , and in the breathing zone of the individuals conducting the cook. Red Phosphorous Method Results The results of the chemical sampling during the red phosphorous cook were as follows: Location Above Cook Distant from Cook Personal Sample Phosphine mg m3 ; 1.32 0.37 0.2 Iodine mg m3 ; 1.6 0.29 0.42 Hydrogen Chloride mg m3 ; 14.6 0.17 0.65. The 12 step program has been shown to have the greatest success rate among methamphetamine users.

The opportunity comes in the sense that this focus on overall health-care efficiency signals a move away from the 'silo' view of health-care budgets towards a more integrated perspective and methylphenidate. Methamphetamine's Youngest Victims Children found in homes where methamphetamines are produced are at significant risk for health and safety concerns, as well as at risk for medical neglect and physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.

Property owners are often held liable for the cost of the cleanup, so if rental landlords find that their tenant has been operating a methamphetamine lab on or in their property, or if landowners find clandestine labs on their property, they could face devastating financial issues and metoprolol. Fish. Most humpback groupers are fed with artificial diet while other grouper species are mostly fed with trash fish. Tiger grouper and humpback grouper can reach marketable size 400700 g ; within 9-12 and 16-24 months, respectively. However, if larger fingerlings are stocked it may shorten the culture period, for example 15 cm humpback grouper fingerlings will take about 9 10 months to reach 450 g. On the other hand, giant grouper is a fast growing species that can reach 300 g within 4 months from an initial stocking size of 4 cm.

IMPLICATIONS OF RESEARCH FOR TREATMENT: METHAMPHETAMINE Methamphetamine use during pregnancy may affect the developing fetus [19]. Human studies are limited, but the findings suggest that children may be at risk developmentally due to both the direct effects of prenatal drug exposure and the care giving environment associated with that drug use. Maternal drug use is associated with risk factors such as poverty, chaotic and dangerous lifestyles, symptoms of psychopathology, history of childhood sexual abuse, and involvement in difficult or abusive relationships with male partners [20]. Children are frequently found at the scene of a meth laboratory and are exposed to toxic chemicals and fumes through absorption, inhalation, or ingestion, as well as being in homes with poor sanitation, hygiene, and nutrition. There can also be a high incidence of developmental delays. In these instances, the child welfare system often becomes involved and child protective services and other social work agencies need protocols to address the needs of the children and their parents, as well as those of the legal system [21]. cognitive and psychiatric abnormalities, suggesting further avenues of investigation [24]. Preliminary evidence suggests that methamphetamine dependence may cause long-term neuronal damage and deleterious effects on cognitive processes such as memory and attention [25]. Methamphetamine abusers who remain abstinent for 9 months or longer show modest improvement in performance on some tests of motor skill and memory and they appear to recover from some of the drug's damaging effects on metabolism in the thalamus. Drug-related deficits appear to persist longer, however, in the striatum. Persistent decreases in striatal metabolism in methamphetamine abusers could reflect long-lasting changes in dopamine cell activity and decreases in the nucleus accumbens could account for the persistence of amotivation and anhedonia in detoxified patients. The recovery of thalamic metabolism could reflect adaptation responses to compensate for the dopamine deficits, and the associated improvement in neuropsychological performance further indicates its functional significance [26]. Using magnetic resonance imaging MRI ; and new computational brain mapping techniques, Thompson et al. [27] demonstrated systematic brain structural deficits with chronic methamphetamine abuse in human subjects and related these deficits to cognitive impairment. MRI-based maps suggest that chronic methamphetamine abuse causes a selective pattern of cerebral deterioration that contributes to impaired memory performance and monopril. Q: Can people with HIV AIDS use the value of AIDS medications provided through the AIDS Drug Assistance Program ADAP ; to meet their spend-down? A: Potentially. ADAP is supported by both federal and state funds. The value of the medications provided with state funds might be able to be used to meet a person's spenddown if the state accounted for the federal ADAP funds separately from state ADAP funds the value of federally supported programs can not be used to meet a spend-down ; . Q: How did the Division identify the programs that are currently on the list? A: In 2002, we went through and made a list of state and county-funded health programs and put it in the Medicaid manual. We want to go back and verify that these programs are operating with state or county funds, and not through federal or private funds. Q: Are the value of the services provided through these programs actually being used to help potentially eligible individuals qualify for Medicaid? A: This provision has not been widely implemented. In order for people to use the value of the services provided through state or county funds towards their spend-down, they must receive a statement of the cost of care provided by the agency. The client must then bring that to the county DSS, who will count the value of the services in determining the person's eligibility for Medicaid. Local health departments do not have a mechanism to generate a cost of care statement. Further, most state-operated programs do not generate these statements. As a result, Medicaid applicants have no way of accounting for the value of services provided on their behalf. The state is in the process of developing an integrated client tracking system that will include, at a minimum, Medicaid, public health and mental health. Each client will be given a unique client identification number. Once this system is operational targeted for July 2006 ; , it should be relatively easy for the state to generate an electronic accounting of the cost of services provided under state funds e.g., through public health purchase of care programs or mental health ; . The value of these programs can then be transmitted electronically to the Medicaid program to be used in determining whether an individual met their spend-down. But until the new system is developed, the state or county must generate a cost of care statement for clients to use to meet their spend-down. Q: Right now, does someone actually get paid for these services? A: Yes. The state is paying for it. They don't give the patient a bill. The local health departments know what their costs are but they don't have the mechanism to produce such a statement about the cost of care for each individual, so the patients can't take that to DSS to show that as part of the spend-down. Q: Would free clinics have to receive state or county funds in order to qualify under this exception? A: Yes. Otherwise, they would be supported by private donations, even if those are in the form of volunteering. Q: Couldn't the Medication Assistance Program MAP ; be used for this?.
Personal social history as follows: 3 patients were single, 3 were married, and 2 have live in partners. Five were unemployed and the other 3 hold low-income jobs. Four of them are non smokers; the other four consumes 1- 10 pack year Five of the subjects don't drink alcoholic beverage, one of them joins a group occasionally, and the other two drinks regularly 2-3x a week for an average of 8 and 10 years respectively. All consumes the 1-gram piso as they call it ; for every session, may be they are in a group of 3 or more. All cases have symptoms of congestive heart failure notably difficulty of breathing, orthopnea body weakness, easy fatigability and bipedal edema. Laboratory results reveal normal serum electrolytes. Chest radiographs all reveal pulmonary congestion and cardiomegaly. Electrocardiograph varies from sinus tachycardia to nonspecific ST changes. 2D echocardiography shows dilated cardiomyopathy for all subjects. It is also important to note that there is no close correlation between the degree of contractile dysfunction and the severity of symptoms in our subjects. Three subjects died several months after discharge. All eight cases are young male, some are out of school, unemployed or low achievers and two have a stable job namely cases 2 and 6. All are chronic methamphetamine abusers with diagnosed dilated cardiomyopathy. The reasons for the abuse with the drugs include curiosity, bravado, peer pressure and search for excitement Having no other cardiovascular risk factors except cigarette smoking and substance abuse with a similar laboratory and diagnostic findings, it can be surmised that there is a correlation between chronic methamphetamine abuse and dilated cardiomyopathy. Cardiomyopathy can result from chronic use of methamphetamine. Various cardiac lesions such as hypertrophy, disarray and fibrosis similar to hypertensive hypertrophy were found in the heart of methamphetamine abusers and these lesions are due to increase in the catecholamine induced by the substance. 1 Myolysis, eosinophilic changes, contraction band necrosis and small round cell infiltration were also observed. A male "ddy" mouse was administered with lmg kg methamphetamine subcutaneously everyday for four weeks. Their hearts eventually revealed many cardiac changes such as hypertrophy, myolysis, contraction band necrosis, disarrangement of myofibers, saw-like cytoplasm, sideto-side connection of cardiac cells and vascuolative degeneration microscopically and crysterosis of mitochondria enlargement of sarcoRlasmic reticulum and hypercontraction electron microscopically.

Clinical presentations are similar for cocaine and amphetamine "speed" ; , methyl-phenidate, methamphetamine "crystal meth" ; and others stimulants. They differ in half-life, onset of action and length of withdrawal. Used in low dose, patients experience heightened alertness, euphoria, energy, mental acuity, and somatic sensation. There is a reduction in anxiety, social inhibition, and need for sleep or food. After repeated exposure, vulnerable patients will develop a repetitive compulsive binge pattern. Stimulant induced euphoria is intense and powerful, often described as "full body orgasms." Stimulant intoxication initially produces euphoria, improved self image, feelings of power, and energy. This is followed by a phase of lability, anhedonia and irritability. In severe cases there are ideas of reference, frank paranoia, hallucinations, thought disorders and gross disorganization, commonly accompanied by aggressiveness and sympathetic autonomic discharge. Patients can be extremely violent and aggressive at this time. Homicidality is a real danger due to a combination of lability, aggression, impulsivity, and poor insight. The desire to get more cocaine at this stage is a major cause of violent robberies and assaults. In severe intoxication, life support may be needed. Calcium channel blocker is effective for cocaine induced arrhythmia. Acute anxiety and panic will respond to benzodiazepine diazepam 5-10 mg orally or intramuscularly ; . Haloperidol 5-10 mg orally or intramuscularly ; is very effective against cocaine or stimulant induced psychosis. -blockers may help with severe -adrenergic state. The withdrawal, "crash", phase of stimulant use is marked dysphoria, fatigue, restlessness, hypersomnolence, and intense craving. Withdrawal onsets within 24 hours of last use and peaks in 2 to days and may last up to 10 days. During the "crash" depression and suicidal ideation is prominent. No specific medical treatment is routinely recommended for stimulant withdrawal. Supportive treatment is the best option. Numerous medications have been studied to treat cocaine intoxication, craving and withdrawal but results are modest. A major cause of cocaine relapse is the experience of craving. Craving is an intense, irresistible, and compelling urge to use cocaine that intrudes into a user's thoughts and often affects concentration, mood and behavior. All chemical and behavioral addicts universally understand the term "craving." Risk of relapse is highest during an episode of craving, which may last for years. So far craving is understood in terms of behavioral conditioning. Often cocaine users will describe how seeing cues such as white powder, rolled up dollar bills and mirrors will lead to intense craving. There are also internal cues such as anger or loneliness that trigger craving and naproxen.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS Although it may seem that the main goal of sexual abuse medical evaluations is to accomplish the anogenital examination, there are many sound arguments for why the physical examination of these child and adolescent patients should not focus solely on the anogenital areas. Many parts of the body may be involved in an abusive experience. If the healthcare professional limits examination to the genitals and anal areas, opportunities to discover additional injuries or signs of abuse are lost. Furthermore, such a restricted examination eliminates, for the patient, the trigger of having memory stimulated by questions and examination of various body parts. Examination of the whole body is likely to increase comfort for young patients because it puts the medical evaluation into a familiar context that of having a medical provider ask questions and do a "check up" on their bodies. A comprehensive examination may reduce embarrassment and anxiety for children and teens by not drawing particular attention to the "private" areas of their body which may have been involved in the abuse. The patient has time to become accustomed to the examiner and to examination process before undergoing an anogenital examination when the healthcare practitioner first checks out other perhaps less emotionally sensitive areas of the body. Having the examiner remove pieces of clothing to listen to the heart lungs and to inspect the skin on the upper body, for instance, sets the stage for a similar process with the lower body. Establishing the routine of asking questions about being hurt or touched inappropriately on each part of the body during the headto-toe evaluation normalizes those questions for children when they are asked about genital or anal contact. Additionally, it is hoped that the child will gain a sense that the medical provider is concerned for the child's total well being, rather than focused exclusively on the finding out about the abuse and nasonex.

Institute for Neurosciences and Research and Biotechnology Division, St. Luke's Medical Center, Philippines Background: Early, correct diagnosis is necessary for successful management in acute stroke. By analyzing presentation times and referral patterns among our stroke population, sources of delay can be pinpointed for specific intervention. Objective: To identify areas of delay in the care of acute stroke patients. Methods: Using structured questionnaire and chart review, time interval from symptom onset awareness to initial presentation, time to neurology assessment and performance of Cranial CT scan were gathered from patients enrolled at the SLMC Stroke Data Bank from May August 2000. Results: Data from 153 patients 87males, 66 females ; were analyzed. 101 patients 66% ; had cerebral infarction, 43 28% ; intracerebral hematoma and 9 5.9% ; subarachnoid hemorrhage. Eighty seven patients 56.8% ; presented for consult within 3 hours from symptom onset awareness and 71.2% within 6 hrs median time 1.75 hours, range 5 minutes to 47 hours ; . Presentation was significantly earlier among patients with hemorrhagic strokes median 1 hour ; than among those with infarction median 3hours ; . Initial medical contact was with a physician in 96% of cases and in a hospital setting in 79%. Only 3% consulted directly a neurologist. Initial presentation to neurology evaluation was a median of 7.5hrs. Initial presentation to imaging took a median of 5.5 hours. Delay was significantly shorter for patients brought to hospitals with neuroimaging facilities median 2 hrs ; than for patients brought to hospitals without median 14.5hrs ; . Conclusion: "Patient" factor is only one source of delay in the acute care of our stroke patients. More delays were accounted for by healthcare-related factors: delays in hospital admission, physician neurology referral, and neuroradiologic diagnosis. Physician and public health education rapid neurology evaluation, and prompt patient transport to CT-equipped hospitals "Stroke centers" are necessary.
