Abstract
OBJECTIVE Zoledronic acid (ZOL) reduces the risk of skeletal related events (SREs) in hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) patients with bone metastases. This study assessed the cost effectiveness of ZOL for SRE management in French, German, Portuguese, and Dutch HRPC patients. METHODS This analysis was based on the results of a randomized phase III clinical trial wherein HRPC patients received up to 15 months of ZOL (n = 214) or placebo (n = 208). Clinical inputs were obtained from the trial. Costs were estimated using hospital tariffs, published, and internet sources. Quality adjusted life-years (QALYs) gained were estimated from a separate analysis of EQ-5D scores reported in the trial. Uncertainty surrounding outcomes was addressed via univariate sensitivity analyses. RESULTS ZOL patients experienced an estimated 0.759 fewer SREs and gained an estimated 0.03566 QALYs versus placebo patients. ZOL was associated with reduced SRE-related costs [net costs] (-€2396 [€1284] in France, -€2606 [€841] in Germany, -€3326 [€309] in Portugal and -€3617 [€87] in the Netherlands). Costs per QALY ranged from €2430 (Netherlands) to €36,007 (France). CONCLUSIONS This analysis is subject to the limitations of most cost-effectiveness analyses: it combines data from multiple sources. Nevertheless, the results strongly suggest that ZOL is cost effective versus placebo in French, German, Portuguese, and Dutch HRPC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tobacco use and depression are highly prevalent among methadone maintenance (MM) treatment programme participants. Our aim was to study the relationship between nicotine dependence, depression, and readiness to change smoking behaviour among women smokers in MM compared to women smokers attending a primary care clinic (Control group). METHOD We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 117 MM women smokers and 50 controls attending a family medicine clinic. All participants completed a computerized self-administered questionnaire, including demographic information, medical history, and drug and tobacco use history. Participants also completed the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND), the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA) instrument. RESULTS In this study 83% African American women had an average age of 43 years. Of the women smokers in the MM group, 95% were daily smokers compared to 46% in the Control group (P <0.05). The MM women smokers had CES-D scores of 22.5 compared to 14.7 in women of the Control group (P <0.0001). Women smokers in MM were significantly more likely to be depressed, more dependent on nicotine, and more ready to change their smoking behaviour. CONCLUSIONS Our data show a higher level of nicotine dependence and depression, and greater readiness to change among women smokers in methadone maintenance programmes compared to women smokers attending primary care clinics. Methadone treatment programmes present a need and an opportunity to assess and intervene in nicotine dependence and depression and in addressing and eliminating health disparities.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of an early stage of streptozotocin-induced diabetes on the mechanism(s) of endothelium-dependent relaxation. Diabetes was induced by a single injection of streptozotocin (48 mg/kg iv), and the ACh-induced relaxation of rat carotid arteries was examined 6 wk later. A diabetes-induced increase in superoxide levels, determined by L-012-induced chemiluminescence, from carotid arteries was associated with endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS) uncoupling and increased catalytic subunit of NADPH oxidase expression. The sensitivity and maximum response to ACh were similar in normal and diabetic rats despite a decrease in NO release detected by 4-amino-5-methylamino-2′,7′-difluorofluorescein. In normal rats, N-nitro-l-arginine (100 μM) plus 1 H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo-[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (10 μM), to inhibit NOS and soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), respectively, abolished ACh-induced relaxation, whereas in diabetic rats, the maximum relaxation to ACh was attenuated (maximum relaxation: 25 ± 5%), but not abolished, by that treatment. The remaining ACh-induced relaxation was abolished by NO scavengers, cupric chloride (to degrade nitrosothiols), or blockers of endothelial K+ channels. Western blot analysis of the carotid arteries indicated that diabetes significantly increased the expression of eNOS but decreased the proportion of eNOS expressed as the dimer. These findings demonstrate that in early diabetes, ACh-induced relaxation is maintained but is resistant to NOS inhibition. In early diabetes, nitrosothiol-mediated opening of K+ channels may act in conjunction with NO stimulation of sGC to maintain endothelium-dependent relaxation despite the increase in vascular superoxide levels.

Abstract
We present a technique for enhancing multimodal visualizations for image-guided neurosurgery in the presence of adverse lighting conditions. In the surgical environment, images used for real time navigation are displayed in suboptimal conditions due to the varying lighting conditions. Our approach actively monitors the incoming light on the display and appropriately enhances the visualization based on the change in light. Based on the results of a user study to evaluate our approach, we found that our enhanced visualization techniques were mostly preferred over regular visualizations.

Abstract
This study examined acceptability among pregnant women and their husbands for HIV testing within the antenatal clinic (ANC) and delivery room (DR) of a government hospital in Pune, India from September 2000 to November 2001. Acceptance of HIV counselling and testing was high with 83% of eligible women in the antenatal clinic (851 of 1025) and 68% of eligible women in the delivery room (417 of 613) getting tested on the same day. Structured interviews were conducted on 94 pregnant women in the ANC 50 women in the DR, and 100 husbands who accompanied their wives in the ANC. These data indicated that the majority of women agreed to be tested independently without the need for further consultation with family members, a view that was strongly supported in this sub-sample of accompanying husbands. For delivering women who were not progressing in their labour, counselling in the DR allowed for individual attention to questions and concerns thereby making counselling in the DR feasible.

Abstract
Protein S is a vitamin K-dependent anticoagulant protein. It functions as a cofactor of activated protein C to inactivate activated factor V (FVa) and activated factor VIII (FVIIIa). Its deficiency is a rare condition and can lead to deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism or stroke. It is often treated with long-term anti-coagulant therapy. Protein S deficiency may be hereditary or acquired; the latter is usually due to hepatic diseases or a vitamin K deficiency. Protein S deficiency manifests as an autosomal dominant trait; manifestations of thrombosis are observed in both heterozygous and homozygous genetic deficiencies of protein S. This case report is of DVT due to Protein S deficiency in a 53 year old male. Venous Doppler was used to diagnose DVT and free Protein S level measured by ELISA. IVC filter was placed on the third day of admission.

Abstract
Multimodality molecular imaging is becoming more and more important to understand both the structural and the functional characteristics of tissue, organs and tumors. So far, invasive nuclear methods utilizing ionizing radiation have been the "gold standard" of molecular imaging. We investigate non-contact, non-invasive, patient-tolerant and inexpensive near infrared (NIR) frequency domain optical tomography (FDOT) as a functional complement to structural X-ray computed tomography (CT) data. We show a novel multifrequency NIR FDOT approach both in transmission and reflectance mode and employ radiative transport equation (RTE) for 3D reconstruction of a target with novel fluorescent gold nanoshell indocyanine green (NS ICG) in an ex vivo nude mouse. The results demonstrate that gold NS ICG with multifrequency NIR FDOT is a promising fluorophore for multimodal optical molecular image reconstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficiency of haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) is important when donor cell numbers are limiting. Stable white blood cell (WBC) and platelet engraftment is crucial for the outcome of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). DESIGN This article evaluates CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase-IV expression on mobilised peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) harvest of donors and its correlation with engraftment in HSCT. We have analysed CD26 expression on cells in various gates, that is, lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils and all populations using flow cytometry tool. RESULTS Ours is the first study on human mobilised PBSC harvest from cancer patients or allogeneic related donors (n = 28) to demonstrate that increased CD26 expression leads to early engraftment in transplanted cancer patients. Correlation of CD26 expression with WBC engraftment was statistically significant (lymphocyte gate: P < 0.00001; monocyte gate: P < 0.00001; neutrophil gate: P < 0.00001; all populations: P < 0.00001). CD34 expression is a known predictor of engraftment. Nevertheless, there was no correlation between CD34 and CD26 expression in these cases. CONCLUSIONS This study has given important leads indicating that CD26 expression may be an independent predictor of engraftment. Further study with large number of patients as well as study on circulatory CD26 may add valuable information towards improving current knowledge on CD26.
