Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the benefits of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHu EPO) administration in dialysis patients have been demonstrated the optimal frequency regimen has not as yet been established. Treatment with rHu EPO is expensive, there is therefore a need for optimising the efficiency of its administration. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this review were to assess the effects of different frequency regimens of rHu EPO administration in dialysis patients in terms of i) effectiveness (correction of anaemia, quality of life and freedom from adverse events) ii) efficiency (optimal resource use) of different rHu EPO dose regimen policies. SEARCH STRATEGY We searched MEDLINE (1980 to May Week 3 2001), EMBASE (1984 to Week 24 2001), BIOSIS (1985 to January 1997), CINAHL (1982 to October 1997), The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 1997), CHEMABS (1984 to November 1996), SIGLE (1980 to June 1996), CRIB (10th edition, 1995), UK NRR (14th consolidation, September 1996), RSC ( 1980 to February 1997), HealthSTAR (1995 to October 1997), IBSS (1984 to July 1997), NEED (July 1997) and reference lists of relevant articles. We contacted biomedical companies and investigators in the field and we hand searched Kidney International (including all supplements but excluding all conference proceedings except for 1994) July 1983 to May 1997 inclusive. The Internet was also searched on: August 1997. We had also identified some studies from a previous broad search for all randomised controlled trials (RCTs) relevant to the management of end-stage renal disease. Date of the most recent search: June 2001. SELECTION CRITERIA All randomised or quasi randomised controlled trials comparing different frequencies of rHu EPO administration in dialysis patients. Subgroup analyses were performed comparing haemodialysis and CAPD patients and also subcutaneous and intravenous administration. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Only published data were used. Data were abstracted by a single investigator on to a standard form. The data abstracted were relevant to the predetermined outcome measures: measures of correction of anaemia, rHu EPO dose, quality of life measures, adverse events, number of withdrawals from study, mortality. Where appropriate, a summary relative risk (RR) was calculated for dichotomous data and a weighted mean difference (WMD) or standardised mean difference (SMD) for continuous data. MAIN RESULTS Eight studies met our inclusion criteria. When once a week administration was compared with twice weekly there was no significant difference in the ability to maintain the target haemoglobin (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.42 to 2.40). Mean haemoglobin after twelve weeks of therapy was not different between the two groups (WMD -0.21g/dl, 95% CI -0.98 to 0.56). No difference was found in mean haemoglobin or haematocrit at the end of any studies which compared once with thrice weekly administration of rHu EPO (SMD -0.31, 95% CI -0.67 to 0.06). A single study which compared once with more that thrice weekly administration showed no significant difference in mean haemoglobin at the end of the maintenance phase (mean difference -0.2g/dl, 95% CI -0.65 to 0.25). The dosage of erythropoietin required by those on haemodialysis receiving rHu EPO once weekly was just significantly more (WMD 12.0 U/kg, 95% CI 0.24 to 23.76) than those receiving it twice weekly but the confidence interval is wide. No such difference was found for CAPD patients nor when the results were combined (WMD 5.15 U/kg, 95% CI -3.74 to 14.05). The result was not significant when comparing once weekly with thrice weekly administration (WMD 10.00 U/kg, 95% CI -80.87 to 100.87). There was no difference in the frequency of adverse events between any of the groups studies. REVIEWER'S CONCLUSIONS There is no significant difference between once weekly versus thrice weekly subcutaneous administration of rHu EPO. Once weekly administration of rHu EPO would require an additional 12U/kg/week for patients on haemodialysis, however this is based on one very small study. The cost of this additional hRu EPO nee, however this is based on one very small study. The cost of this additional hRu EPO needs to assessed, in particular with regard to patient preference and compliance.

Abstract
We present results of the first search for like-sign dilepton ( e(+/-)e(+/-), e(+/-)mu(+/-), mu(+/-)mu(+/-)) events associated with multijets and large missing energy using 106 pb(-1) of data in pp macro collisions at square root of s = 1.8 TeV collected during 1992-1995 by the CDF experiment. Finding no events that pass our selection, we examine pair production of gluinos (tilde g) and squarks (tilde q) in a constrained framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. At tan beta = 2 and mu = -800 GeV/c(2), we set 95% confidence level limits of M(tilde g)>221 GeV/c(2) for M(tilde g) approximately M(tilde q), and M(tilde q)>168 GeV/c(2) for M(tilde q)>>M(tilde g), both with small variation as a function of mu.

Abstract
A field study, organised, coordinated and conducted under the responsibility of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), took place in Kosovo in November 2000 to evaluate the level of depleted uranium (DU) released into the environment by the use of DU ammunition during the 1999 conflict. Representatives of six different scientific organisations took part in the mission and a total of approximately 350 samples were collected. During this field mission, the Italian National Environmental Protection Agency (ANPA) collected water, soil, lichen and tree bark samples from different sites. The samples were analysed by alpha-spectroscopy and in some cases by inductively coupled plasma-source mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The 234U/238U and 235U/238U activity concentration ratios were used to distinguish natural from anthropogenic uranium. This paper reports the results obtained on these samples. All water samples had very low concentrations of uranium (much below the average concentration of drinking water in Europe). The surface soil samples showed a very large variability in uranium activity concentration, namely from approximately 20 Bq kg(-1) (environmental natural uranium) to approximately 2.3 x 10(5) Bq kg(-1) (approximately 18000 mg kg(-1) of depleted uranium), with concentrations above environmental levels always due to DU. The uranium isotope measurements refer to soil samples collected at places where DU ammunition had been fired; this variability indicates that the impact of DU ammunitions is very site-specific, reflecting both the physical conditions at the time of the impact of the DU ammunition and any physical and chemical alteration which occurred since then. The results on tree barks and lichens indicated the presence of DU in all cases, showing their usefulness as sensitive qualitative bio-indicators for the presence of DU dusts or aerosols formed at the time the DU ammunition had hit a hard target. This result is particularly interesting considering that at some sites, which had been hit by DU ammunition, no DU ground contamination could be detected.

Abstract
We report the first observation of diffractive J/psi(--> mu+mu-) production in pp collisions at root square[s] = 1.8 TeV. Diffractive events are identified by their rapidity gap signature. In a sample of events with two muons of transverse momentum p(mu)T>2 GeV/c within the pseudorapidity region /eta/ < 1.0, the ratio of diffractive to total J/psi production rates is found to be R(J/psi) = [1.45 +/- 0.25]%. The ratio R(J/psi)(x) is presented as a function of x-Bjorken. By combining it with our previously measured corresponding ratio R(jj)(x) for diffractive dijet production, we extract a value of 0.59 +/- 0.15 for the gluon fraction of the diffractive structure function of the proton.

Abstract
We present searches for quark-lepton compositeness and a heavy W' boson at high electron-neutrino transverse mass. We use approximately 110 pb(-1) of data collected in p p macro collisions at square root of [s] = 1.8 TeV by the CDF Collaboration during 1992-1995. The data are consistent with standard model expectations. Limits are set on the quark-lepton compositeness scale Lambda, the ratio of partial cross sections sigma(W'-->enu)/sigma(W-->enu), and the mass of a W' boson with standard model couplings. We exclude Lambda<2.81 TeV and a W' boson with mass below 754 GeV/c(2) at the 95% confidence level. Combining with our previously published limit obtained using the muon channel, we exclude a W' boson with mass below 786 GeV/c(2) at the 95% confidence level.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This paper describes the development of the tests of competence used as part of the General Medical Council's assessment of potentially seriously deficient doctors. It is illustrated by reference to tests of knowledge and clinical and practical skills created for general practice. SUBJECTS AND TESTS: A notional sample of 30 volunteers in 'good standing' in the specialty (reference group), 27 practitioners referred to the procedures and four practitioners not referred but who were the focus of concern over their performance. Tests were constructed using available guidelines and a specially convened working group in the specialty. METHODS Standards were set using Angoff, modified contrasting group and global judgement methods, as appropriate. RESULTS Tests performed highly reliably, showed evidence of construct validity, intercorrelated at appropriate levels and, at the standards employed, demonstrated good separation of reference and referred groups. Likelihood ratios for above and below standard performance based on competence were large for each test. Seven of 27 doctors referred were shown not to be deficient in both phases of the performance assessment.

Abstract
CONTEXT Intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) therapy using the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke criteria has been given with variable safety to less than 5% of the patients who have ischemic strokes nationwide. Our center is experienced in treating large numbers of stroke patients with intravenous tPA. OBJECTIVE To report our total 4-year experience in the treatment of consecutive patients who had an ischemic stroke. DESIGN Prospective inception cohort registry of all patients seen by our stroke team and an additional retrospective medical record review of all patients treated between January 1, 1996, and June 1, 2000. SETTING A veteran stroke team composed of fellows and stroke-specialty faculty servicing 1 university and 3 community hospitals in a large urban setting. PATIENTS Consecutive patients with ischemic stroke treated within the first 3 hours of symptom onset. INTERVENTION According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke protocol, 0.9 mg/kg of intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator was administered. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Number and proportion treated, patient demographics, time to treatment, hemorrhage rates, and clinical outcome. RESULTS A total of 269 patients were treated between January 1, 1996, and June 1, 2000. Their mean age was 68 years (age range, 24-93 years); 48% were women. This represented 9% of all patients admitted with symptoms of cerebral ischemia at our most active hospital (over the final 6 months, 13% of all patients with symptoms of cerebral ischemia and 15% of all acute ischemic stroke patients). Before treatment the mean +/- SD National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 14.4 +/- 6.1 points (median, 14 points; range, 4-33 points). A tPA bolus was given at 137 minutes (range, 30-180 minutes); 28% of the patients were treated within 2 hours. The mean door-to-needle time was 70 minutes (range, 10-129 minutes). The symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage rate was 5.6% of those patients with a second set of brain scans (4.5% of all patients), with a declining trend from 1996 to 2000. Protocol violations were found in 13% of all patients; the symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage rate in these patients was 15%. At 24 hours, the NIHSS score was 10 +/- 8 points (median, 8 points; range, 0-36 points). In-hospital mortality was 15% and the patients' discharge NIHSS scores were 7 +/- 7 points (median, 3 points; range, 0-35 points). CONCLUSIONS Intravenous tPA therapy can be given to up to 15% of the patients with acute ischemic stroke with a low risk of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Successful experience with intravenous tPA therapy depends on the experience and organization of the treating team and adherence to published guidelines.

Abstract
Neurons in Huntington's disease exhibit selective morphological and subcellular alterations in the striatum and cortex. The link between these neuronal changes and behavioral abnormalities is unclear. We investigated relationships between essential neuronal changes that predict motor impairment and possible involvement of the corticostriatal pathway in developing behavioral phenotypes. We therefore generated heterozygote mice expressing the N-terminal one-third of huntingtin with normal (CT18) or expanded (HD46, HD100) glutamine repeats. The HD mice exhibited motor deficits between 3 and 10 months. The age of onset depended on an expanded polyglutamine length; phenotype severity correlated with increasing age. Neuronal changes in the striatum (nuclear inclusions) preceded the onset of phenotype, whereas cortical changes, especially the accumulation of huntingtin in the nucleus and cytoplasm and the appearance of dysmorphic dendrites, predicted the onset and severity of behavioral deficits. Striatal neurons in the HD mice displayed altered responses to cortical stimulation and to activation by the excitotoxic agent NMDA. Application of NMDA increased intracellular Ca(2+) levels in HD100 neurons compared with wild-type neurons. Results suggest that motor deficits in Huntington's disease arise from cumulative morphological and physiological changes in neurons that impair corticostriatal circuitry.

Abstract
We report on a measurement of the mean charged-particle multiplicity of jets in dijet events with dijet masses in the range 80-630 GeV/c(2), produced at the Tevatron in pp collisions with square root (s) = 1.8 TeV and recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The data are fit to perturbative-QCD calculations carried out in the framework of the modified leading log approximation and the hypothesis of local parton-hadron duality. The fit yields values for two parameters in that framework: the ratio of parton multiplicities in gluon and quark jets, r identical withN(g-jet)(partons)/N(q-jet)(partons) = 1.7+/-0.3, and the ratio of the number of charged hadrons to the number of partons in a jet, K(charged)(LPHD) identical with N(charged)(hadrons)/N(partons) = 0.57+/-0.11.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Direct entry of personal health survey information into a computer by patients could streamline clinical data collection, improve completeness and accuracy of health information available to providers, and provide data for tailoring health education messages. Few computerized programs, however, have been developed to adapt the interface to diverse literacy levels, language, computer skills, and health literacy levels of the broad spectrum of patient populations. METHODS To develop such a program, we conducted cognitive response interviews with a diverse sample of 21 adult participants from two North Carolina health clinics. Participants were placed into one of three interview categories: (1) low reading skill level, low computer skills; (2) high reading skill level, low computer skills; and (3) high reading skill level, high computer skills. The "think-aloud" technique was employed to elicit feedback on a series of computer interface screens and health risk assessment questions. RESULTS Interface-related findings showed that preference for touchscreen versus keyboard data entry was not strongly related to computer skill level but was related to question type. Respondents with limited education indicated that they would not click on a "help" or hyperlink option to get more information and that frequent reminders of directions on the screen were needed. Content-related findings showed numerous misperceptions regarding meanings of common health questions and terminology (e.g., seat belt use and intravenous drugs). CONCLUSIONS These findings have implications for health literacy and may have an impact on the accuracy of information obtained. Study results will be incorporated into the development and testing of an innovative, adaptive multimedia program.

Abstract
Live attenuated chi8110 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi ISP1820 vaccine was given in a dose-escalation trial to healthy, adult volunteers. Positive stool and blood cultures were noted, but limited, as were immune responses measured by ELISA and ELISPOT. Only volunteers with bacteremia developed immune responses; however, no symptoms were associated with bacteremia. The vaccine was insufficiently immunogenic for use as a vaccine. It is possible that reduced survival in the gut and reduced immunogenicity may have been due to the thawing of frozen inocula immediately prior to use.

Abstract
We present results from a measurement of double diffraction dissociation in pp collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The production cross section for events with a central pseudorapidity gap of width Deltaeta(0)>3 (overlapping eta = 0) is found to be 4.43+/-0.02(stat)+/-1.18(syst) mb [ 3.42+/-0.01(stat)+/-1.09(syst) mb] at square root of (s) = 1800[630] GeV. Our results are compared with previous measurements and with predictions based on Regge theory and factorization.

Abstract
We report on a measurement of the mass dependence of the forward-backward charge asymmetry, A(FB), and production cross section d sigma/dM for e(+)e(-) pairs with mass M(ee)>40 GeV/c(2). The data sample consists of 108 pb(-1) of pp macro collisions at square root of s = 1.8 TeV taken by the Collider Detector at Fermilab during 1992-1995. The measured asymmetry and d sigma/dM are compared with the predictions of the standard model and a model with an extra Z' gauge boson.

Abstract
There are several techniques currently used to localize glycosylated surface molecules by scanning electron microscopy (Grinnell, 1980; Molday, 1976; Linthicum and Sell, 1975; Nicolson, 1974; Lo Buglio, et al, 1972). A simple and rapid method, using a modification of Grinnell's technique is reported here. Essentially, microspheres coated with Concavalin A are used to bind to glycosylated regions of the palatal shelf epithelium and are visualized in the scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Abstract
Palatal shelves from 13- and 14-day mouse embryos were excised and cultured in contiguous pairs. Experimental cultures were exposed to 2.6 G in a culture centrifuge; controls were in the same incubator. After 24 hours, palates were prepared for light or electron microscopy. Scoring of paraffin sections according to the stage of fusion seen in the medial epithelial edges (MEE) showed that palates exposed to excess G were in more advanced stages of fusion than were controls. Ultrastructurally, control MEE had tightly apposed cell membranes and numerous desmosomes; in centrifuged MEE, desmosomes had been removed and there was much intercellular space. Nuclear membranes were intact in control MEE, but showed marked deterioration in MEE of centrifuged palates. Few lysosomes and no necrosis were seen in control MEE; centrifuged MEE had numerous lysosomes as well as necrotic cells. Basal lamina were intact in controls, but interrupted in centrifuged palates. The results confirm the hypothesis that gravitational increases speed up the differentiative process.

Abstract
We have measured the p(T) distribution of top quarks that are pair produced in pp collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.8 TeV using a sample of tt decays in which we observe a single high- p(T) charged lepton, a neutrino, and four or more jets. We use a likelihood technique that corrects for the experimental bias introduced due to event reconstruction and detector resolution effects. The observed distribution is consistent with the standard model prediction. We use these data to place limits on the production of high- p(T) top quarks suggested in some models of anomalous top quark pair production.

Abstract
Given that each year in the United States 180,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed, with about 44,000 women succumbing to the disease, and that breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in women, it is clear that existing therapy fails a large number of patients. Recently, a number of novel strategies have been developed in attempts to improve survival. These include agents used at very high dose requiring stem cell support. High-dose chemotherapy (HDC) with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), most frequently in the form of peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation (PBPCT), is an highly active treatment approach in appropriate patients and the current data relating to this modality will be reviewed here. This article will attempt to place the recent randomized studies in perspective, to highlight the strengths and limitations of the data, and to offer some thoughts on future directions for the field.

Abstract
In this review, we describe methods to generate and characterize sequence-specific phosphoamino acid antibodies. Several of the early contributions regarding the utility of such antibodies are summarized. Three antiphosphopeptide antibodies derived from sequences of the Bcr protein are described. They are anti-Bcr pSer-354, anti-Bcr pTyr-328, and anti-Bcr pTyr-360. These anti-Bcr phosphopeptide antibodies are directed toward phosphorylated sequences encoded by the first exon of the BCR gene, which is the critical portion of the Bcr sequence present in the Bcr-Abl oncoprotein. Using these antibodies, we established/confirmed the in vivo phosphorylation of Ser-354, Tyr-328, and Tyr-360 in Bcr and Bcr-Abl proteins. The cross-reactivity of these antibodies, which is a common problem with antipeptide antibodies, was also investigated and discussed.

Abstract
Various surgical options for internal carotid or subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm repair have been reported; however, in general they have resulted in poor outcomes with high morbidity and mortality rates. Recently, these open surgical procedures have been partly replaced by percutaneous transluminal placement of endovascular devices. We evaluated the potential for using flexible self-expanding uncovered stents with or without coiling to treat extracranial internal carotid, subclavian and other peripheral artery posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm. Three patients with posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm were treated by stent deployment and coiling (two cases) of the aneurysm cavity. In one case, a 5.0 x 47 mm Wallstent (Boston Scientific) was positioned to span the neck of the 9 x 5 mm size pseudoaneurysm (left internal carotid artery) and deployed. Angiography demonstrated complete occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm without coiling. In the second patient, a 5.0 x 31 mm Wallstent (Boston Scientific) was positioned to span the neck of the 9 x 7 mm size pseudoaneurysm (right internal carotid artery) and deployed. A total of six coils (Guglielmi Detachable Coils, Boston Scientific) were deployed into the pseudoaneurysm cavity until it was completely obliterated. In the third case, an 8.0 x 80 mm SMART (Cordis) stent was advanced over the wire, positioned to span the neck of the 10 x 7 mm size pseudoaneurysm of the left subclavian artery, and deployed. Fourteen 40 x 0.5 mm Trufill (Cordis) pushable coils were deployed into the pseudoaneurysm cavity until it was completely obliterated. At long-term follow-up (6-9 months), all patients were asymptomatic without flow into the aneurysm cavity by Duplex ultrasound. We conclude that uncovered endovascular flexible self-expanding stent placement with transstent coil embolization of the pseudoaneurysm cavity is a promising new technique to treat posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm vascular disease by minimally invasive methods, while preserving the patency of the vessel and side branches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute leukemia (AL) in infants generally shows distinctive biologic features and has a poor prognosis. AIM To study the frequency of the cytogenetic alteration of 11q23 chromosome or the recombination of MLL gene in infants less than 18 months old, with acute leukemia. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed 37 cases of AL in infants less than 18 months of age diagnosed in Chile from 1989 to 1999. The clinical features and cytogenetic/molecular defects of 11q23MLL gene rearrangement and their influence in prognosis were determined. RESULTS There were 18 cases of acute Lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) characterized by female sex (67%) high presenting leukocyte count (median 99 x 109/L), blast cells with a CD10 negative phenotype (50%) and 11q23/MLL rearrangement (39%). Molecular abnormalities of 11q23 were significantly associated with adverse prognosis, with an event free survival (EFS) of only 14 +/- 12%. Interestingly, infants with germ line 11q23 had a very good outcome with an EFS of 73 +/- 11% (p < 0.025). There were 19 cases of acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) characterized by male sex (63%) high leukocyte count (median 93 x 109/L), FAB-MS morphology (53%) and 11q23/MLL rearrangement (53%). EFS was very poor, 20 +/- 9% and 33 +/- 4% for rearranged and germinal group respectively (p = NS), due to a high mortality rate during the first month of diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate that Chilean ALL infants with 11q23 abnormalities have a very poor prognosis. However those with germinal state can enjoy a prolonged disease free survival with the current treatment protocols.

Abstract
Several sets of reference air filters were prepared as part of an IAEA evaluation of the performance of laboratories involved in air-pollution studies. Each set comprised three polycarbonate membrane filters, two of which were loaded with urban air particulate matter (APM) obtained in Vienna or Prague, and one unloaded filter. The filters were loaded by filtration of a suspension of the APM materials in water. The homogeneity both of bulk APM materials and of the loaded filters was evaluated and found suitable by determining several elements by instrumental neutron-activation analysis (INAA), proton-induced X-ray emission (PIXE), and micro-X-ray energy-dispersive fluorescence analysis (micro-EDXRF). After evaluation of the homogeneity, INAA, PIXE, EDXRF, atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), and ICP mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) were used to characterize the filter materials and establish "target values" and their associated standard deviations for 15 elements. Problems encountered during the preparation of these unique, simulated air filters and the criteria for setting both the target values and standard deviations are presented.
