Abstract
A complex of hemipterans, especially the tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois) (Hemiptera: Miridae), has become a major target of insecticides in flowering cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., in the mid-southern United States. Sampling protocols for this complex during this period of cotton development are poorly established, resulting in uncertainty about when infestations warrant treatment. Nine direct and indirect sampling methods were evaluated for bias, precision, and efficiency in cotton throughout the Mid-South during 2005 and 2006. The tarnished plant bug represented 94% of the bug complex in both years. Sweep-net and black drop-cloth methods were more efficient than other direct sampling methods, but they were biased toward adults and nymphs, respectively. Sampling dirty blooms was the most efficient indirect sampling method. The sweep-net, whole-plant, and dirty-bloom methods were more accurate than the other sampling methods evaluated based on correlations with other sampling methods. Variability attributed to the person collecting the sample was significant for all sampling methods, but least significant for the dirty-square method. Further research is needed to establish thresholds based on sweep-net, drop-cloth, dirty-square, and dirty-bloom sampling methods as these methods provide the best combinations of accuracy and efficiency for sampling tarnished plant bugs in cotton.

Abstract
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare subacute demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) caused by the DNA JC human polyomavirus. In immunocompromised hosts, PML is caused by reactivation of a latent infection rather than de novo primary exposure. PML in the setting of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is exceedingly rare. PML should be considered in the differential diagnosis of HCT recipients, autologous or allogeneic, presenting with worsening of neurological symptoms, especially associated with post-transplant neurodegenerative findings. Although DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has emerged as a promising tool for detecting JC virus, a negative result does not rule out PML. Brain biopsy remains the most reliable and accurate method for diagnosing JC virus-associated PML. Presently, there is no universally effective antiviral therapy against JC virus and outcome is fatal in the majority of cases. We hereby describe two cases of PML developing after allogeneic HCT and provide a comprehensive review of the literature.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in prevention and therapy, cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection continues to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipient. The standard drug for pre-emptive therapy is intravenous ganciclovir (GCV). Valganciclovir (VGC), the oral pro-drug of GCV, has excellent bioavailability and is ideal for oral therapy. Since March 2002, VGC was adopted in our center for outpatient pre-emptive therapy in all patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT. Fifty-two allogeneic HSCT recipients were followed weekly via Digene hybrid capture assay. Patients with a positive assay were treated with VGC 900 mg p.o. b.i.d. x 14 days followed by 900 mg p.o. QD until at least 7 days after a negative test. Eighteen patients (14 sib, four MUD) had 30 episodes of CMV DNA detection treated with oral VGC. Median duration of therapy was 21 days (range 10-21 days). The rate of response was 93% (28/30) as confirmed by a negative assay within 14 days. No significant toxicity was encountered. Two patients failed oral VGC. One case of CMV enteritis was diagnosed in a patient with acute GVHD. Pre-emptive therapy of CMV infection with oral VGC is safe and effective in allogeneic HSCT recipients.

Abstract
Atom trap trace analysis, a novel method based upon laser trapping and cooling, is used to count individual atoms of 41Ca present in biomedical samples with isotopic abundance levels between 10(-8) and 10(-10). The method is calibrated against resonance ionization mass spectrometry, demonstrating good agreement between the two methods. The present system has a counting efficiency of 2x10(-7). Within 1 h of observation time, its 3-sigma detection limit on the isotopic abundance of 41Ca reaches 4.5x10(-10).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hearts from non-heart-beating organ donors are not transplanted because of risk of ischemia-reperfusion injury. We tested whether pharmacologic pre-conditioning with adenosine and the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger inhibitor, cariporide, combined with controlled reperfusion, would prevent injury in porcine hearts that had sustained 30 minutes of hypoxia/ischemia in closed-chest animals. METHODS Hearts from Yorkshire pigs (100 kg) were studied in 3 groups. Group 1 (control) hearts were surgically removed while beating. Group 2 hearts were harvested from animals made hypoxic by discontinuing mechanical ventilation for 30 minutes. Group 3 hearts were hypoxic as in Group 2, but these animals received adenosine (40 mg) and cariporide (400 mg) 10 minutes before stopping ventilation. Cardiac function in all groups was assessed ex vivo in a working heart apparatus in which pressure and flow measurements were made over 3 hours. Controlled reperfusion in Group 3 hearts used leukocyte-depleted blood perfusate containing free radical scavengers. Myocardial injury was assessed on the basis of perfusate creatine phosphokinase activity and histopathologically determined injury score. RESULTS Groups 1 and 3 hearts could be resuscitated to perform work equivalently during the entire reperfusion period and showed positive responses to increases in pre-load and norepinephrine. Group 2 hearts could not perform work. After 3 hours, Group 2 hearts showed significantly higher creatine phosphokinase and histopathologic injury scores compared to with Groups 1 and 3, which were not significantly different from each other. CONCLUSIONS Pharmacologic pre-conditioning and controlled reperfusion effectively protect non-beating porcine hearts from injury after 30 minutes of hypoxia/ischemia in situ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medical radiation technologists (MRTs) or radiographers have potential exposure to chemicals including sensitisers and irritants such as glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde, sulphur dioxide, and acetic acid. AIMS To determine the prevalence of asthma and work related respiratory symptoms among MRTs compared with physiotherapists, and to identify work related factors in the darkroom environment that are associated with these outcomes. METHODS As part of a two component study, we undertook a questionnaire mail survey of the members of the professional associations of MRTs and physiotherapists in Ontario, Canada, to ascertain the prevalence of physician diagnosed asthma, and the prevalence in the past 12 months of three or more of the nine respiratory symptoms (previously validated by Venables et al to be sensitive and specific for the presence of self reported asthma). Information on exposure factors during the past 12 months, such as ventilation conditions, processor leaks, cleanup activities, and use of personal protective equipment was also collected. RESULTS The survey response rate was 63.9% among MRTs and 63.1% among physiotherapists. Most analyses were confined to 1110 MRTs and 1523 physiotherapists who never smoked. The prevalence of new onset asthma (since starting in the profession) was greater among never smoking MRTs than physiotherapists (6.4% v 3.95%), and this differed across gender: it was 30% greater among females but fivefold greater among males. Compared with physiotherapists, the prevalence of reporting three or more respiratory symptoms, two or more work related, and three or more work related respiratory symptoms in the past 12 months was more frequent among MRTs, with odds ratios (ORs) (and 95% confidence intervals) adjusted for age, gender, and childhood asthma, of 1.9 (1.5 to 2.3), 3.7 (2.6 to 5.3), and 3.2 (2.0 to 5.0), respectively. Analyses examining latex glove use indicated that this was not likely to account for these differences. Among MRTs, respiratory symptoms were associated with a number of workplace and exposure factors likely to generate aerosol or chemical exposures such as processors not having local ventilation, adjusted OR 2.0 (1.4 to 3.0); leaking processor in which clean up was delayed, 2.4 (1.6 to 3.5); floor drain clogged, 2.0 (1.2 to 3.2); freeing a film jam, 2.9 (1.8 to 4.8); unblocking a blocked processor drain, 2.4 (1.6 to 3.7); and cleaning up processor chemical spill, 2.8 (1.9 to 4.2). These outcomes were not associated with routine tasks unlikely to generate exposures, such as working outside primary workplace, loading film into processor, routine cleaning of processors, or removing processed film. Males reported that they carried out a number of tasks potentially associated with irritant exposures more frequently than females, consistent with the marked increase in risk for new onset asthma. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest an increase of work related asthma and respiratory symptoms shown to denote asthma among MRTs, which is consistent with previous surveys. The mechanism is not known but appears to be linked with workplace factors and may involve a role for irritant exposures.

Abstract
Hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant disorder featuring familial clustering of colorectal and/or endometrial cancer, and other malignancies. Except for a rare case report, Hodgkin's disease (HD) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) have not been considered part of HNPCC. Recent murine models for HNPCC have shown an increased incidence of B- and T-cell lymphoma, as well as tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and other organ systems, involving defects in genes resulting in faulty mismatch repair (MMR) of DNA. These MMR genes include MLH1, MSH2, MSH3, MSH6, PMS1 and PMS2. We sought to analyze the occurrence of NHL and HD in families with clusters of colorectal cancers (CRC). Probands from 21 kindreds were classified as HNPCC (3), HNPCC-like (5), and HNPCC-variant (13); seen and followed by Clinical Genetics at Memorial Hospital the kindreds were assessed for the occurrence of NHL or HD. Of the 21 pedigrees, a total of 37 patients were identified who were diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, or HD. Fourteen of the 37 patients with a diagnosis of NHL or HD were further classified and showed varying histologies ranging from chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (2), mycosis fungoides (1), follicular lymphoma (1), extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of MALT type (2), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (4), nodular sclerosis HD (3), and mixed cellularity HD (1). Microsatellite instability studies were performed on 6 cases but none showed evidence of replication error repair defects. Immunohistochemical stains performed on paraffin sections from these 6 representative cases showed differential protein expression of MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 when compared to normal reactive tissues from the same patient but showed no significant differences when compared to controls of non-familial, sporadic lymphomas. These results suggest that lymphomas arising in the setting of familial CRC do not bear the molecular hallmarks of HNPCC. Further studies are needed to explain the differential patterns of expression of RER-associated proteins in lymphomas, as well as the association of lymphomas and possibly renal cell cancers in a subset of kindreds in which CRC clustering is evident.

Abstract
The excitation function for fusion evaporation in the (60)Ni+ (89)Y system was measured over a range in cross section covering 6 orders of magnitude. The cross section exhibits an abrupt decrease at extreme sub-barrier energies. This behavior, which is also present in a few other systems found in the literature, cannot be reproduced with present models, including those based on a coupled-channels approach. Possible causes are discussed, including a dependence on the intrinsic structure of the participants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the yield of recorded habitual non-epileptic seizures during outpatient video EEG, using simple suggestion techniques based on hyperventilation and photic stimulation. DESIGN Randomised controlled trial of "suggestion" v "no suggestion" during outpatient video EEG recording. SETTING Regional epilepsy service (tertiary care; single centre). PARTICIPANTS 30 patients (22 female, 8 male), aged over 16 years, with a probable clinical diagnosis of non-epileptic seizures; 15 were randomised to each group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Yield of habitual non-epileptic seizures recorded, and requirement for additional inpatient video EEG. RESULTS 10/15 patients had habitual non-epileptic seizures with suggestion; 5/15 had non-epileptic seizures with no suggestion (p = 0.058; NS); 8/9 patients with a history of previous events in medical settings had non-epileptic seizures recorded during study. Logistic regression analysis with an interaction clause showed a significant effect of suggestion in patients with a history of previous events in medical settings (p = 0.003). An additional inpatient video-EEG was avoided in 14 of the 30 patients (47%). CONCLUSIONS Habitual non-epileptic seizures can be recorded reliably during short outpatient video EEG in selected patients. Simple (non-invasive) suggestion techniques increase the yield at least in the subgroup with a history of previous events in medical settings. Inpatient video EEG can be avoided in some patients.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the impact of reminder systems on appointment nonadherence rates in an low-income inner-city clinic population. A total of 2,304 consenting patients were randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) automated telephone reminder, (2) postcard reminder, or (3) no reminder. In contrast with research on other populations, the results of this study demonstrated no significant difference in appointment adherence rates among the three groups. To aid in the development of more effective interventions in the future, individuals not attending their scheduled appointments were interviewed by telephone to determine reason for nonadherence.

Abstract
The shortage of radiologists and technologists poses a huge problem for hospitals as the demand for imaging services grows. It behooves hospital executives, therefore, to find creative ways to partner with their radiology groups--before somebody else does. This is the first installment in H&HN's quarterly Clinical Management series, which examines how hospitals are responding to dramatic shifts in specific clinical areas.
