Abstract
This prehospital prospective, controlled study was conducted to determine if prehospital cardiac pacing affects survival. The study involved 239 patients, 226 pulseless, nonbreathing patients (rhythms of asystole and electromechanical dissociation with heart rates less than 70) and 13 patients with hemodynamically significant bradycardia (heart rate less than 60; blood pressure less than 90 mm Hg; not responding to atropine). Patients were assigned to treatment or control groups on an every-other-day basis. One hundred three patients were treated with an external cardiac pacing device; 22 (21.4%) were resuscitated (arrival at admitting hospital with pulse and blood pressure) and seven (6.8%) were saved (survival to hospital discharge). One hundred thirty-six patients were not paced and served as controls; 28 (20.6%) were resuscitated (P = .90) and six (4.4%) were saved (P = .71). Analysis of pacing times showed increased resuscitation in patients paced early. All surviving paced patients were paced in 17 minutes or less. Analysis of rhythm subgroups showed no significant difference in the resuscitation or survival rates of paced and control groups for primary asystole, primary electromechanical dissociation, and secondary asystole and electromechanical dissociation occurring after countershock treatment of ventricular fibrillation when compared respectively. However, among patients with hypotensive bradycardia, six of six paced patients were resuscitated and five were saved, while only two of seven controls were resuscitated (P = .01) and one was saved (P = .01). Interpretation of the bradycardic patient data is limited by inequalities noted between control and treatment groups with regard to the administration of isoproterenol.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Somatostatin inhibits hormone secretion from gastrointestinal endocrine tumors. The purpose of this study was to determine whether SMS 201-995, a long-acting analog, would inhibit the growth of pancreatic adenocarcinomas. Two human pancreatic cancers grown in nude mice were studied: SKI, which has cholecystokinin receptors, and CAV, which does not. Tumors were implanted in groups of six mice each. Treatment groups received SMS 201-995 (100 micrograms/kg three times daily) by intraperitoneal injections and control animals received saline solution. Tumor area was measured twice weekly. After 7 weeks, the tumors and mouse pancreases were excised, weighed, and analyzed for protein and RNA and DNA content. In a second set of experiments, treatment was begun 21 days after transplantation. Mean body weights between groups were not different in any experiment. With treatment beginning on the day of transplantation, the tumor areas of SKI and CAV cancers were reduced by the third and fifth weeks of treatment, respectively. Tumor doubling times were prolonged with treatment in both SKI tumors (5 days) and CAV tumors (6 days). In the SKI treatment groups, tumor weight (52 percent), RNA content (72 percent), and DNA content (60 percent) were decreased at sacrifice compared with those of the control groups. In the CAV treatment group, the mean tumor weight (55 percent) and protein (48 percent), RNA (67 percent) and DNA contents (60 percent) were decreased compared with the CAV control group. Tumor growth of SKI and CAV cancers was also inhibited when treatment was delayed 21 days after transplantation. We conclude that these effects are not mediated by inhibition of cholecystokinin, as seen by similar inhibitory effects on both tumors. Treatment with SMS 201-995 may be an effective hormonal therapy in patients with pancreatic cancers.

Abstract
Pseudomonas cepacia has recently emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen. We analyzed a national nosocomial infections database, the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) system, to describe the epidemiology of endemic nosocomial P. cepacia infections. Between 1980 and 1985, the P. cepacia nosocomial infection rate was 2.4 per 100,000 patient discharges. During this period, there was a significant increase in the P. cepacia infection rate. The highest infection rate was reported from large medical school-affiliated hospitals. Over 90% of the infections were reported from medicine and surgery services. The most frequently reported site of infection was the lower respiratory tract (31%), followed by blood (20%) and the urinary tract (20%). Nosocomial P. cepacia infections are often associated with mortality, particularly when they involve the lung. These data confirm the hypothesis that P. cepacia is an emerging nosocomial pathogen and suggest that the epidemiology of endemic infections differs from that reported for epidemic infections.

Abstract
Outer membrane proteins (OMP), extracted from Salmonella enteritidis, S anatum, S typhimurium, and S infantis, were cross-linked to form a large immunogen (4-OMP-lipopolysaccharide [LPS]). Vaccinations with 4-OMP-LPS dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline solution and 4-OMP-LPS emulsified with muramyl dipeptide were capable of eliciting specific and sustained primary IgM and IgG responses in BALB/c mice, as well as inducing immunologic memory for 130 days. In addition to 4-OMP-LPS-specific responses, substantial IgM and IgG responses specific for each live homologous organism were detected over the 130-day trial. In comparison with vaccination with 4-OMP-LPS dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline solution, responses specific for the antigen or the homologous Salmonella were not markedly increased in mice vaccinated with 4-OMP-LPS emulsified with muramyl dipeptide. Seemingly, cross-linked OMP, without the inclusion of muramyl dipeptide, may have potential as vaccine components and may induce immunologic memory.

Abstract
An experiment was conducted to determine the ability of the coordinate grid to assess logical inconsistencies that characterize individuals. Previous research has shown the grid differentiates groups predicted to vary in inconsistency. In the present study therapists' were significantly likely to differentiate real from bogus grid reports of their clients' inconsistencies. Results suggest the grid does assess inconsistencies that characterize the individual.

Abstract
The severity and persistence of corticosteroid-induced obesity were evaluated retrospectively in 23 children aged 1-14 yrs requiring more than 60 days of therapy with prednisone for idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. Mean relative weight (after clearing of proteinuria) at initiation of therapy was 107 +/- 10 percent. Peak relative weight on therapy was 119 +/- 15 percent following a mean total of 31 months of cumulative steroid therapy. The most recent available relative weight in remission at least 6 months following cessation of therapy was 107 +/- 18 percent. The number of children whose relative weight exceeded 120 percent at initiation of, during and following therapy was 3, 10, and 4, respectively. In those with normal initial relative weight (less than 110%) there was no persistent obesity. Two of three initially obese patients (relative weight greater than 120%) remained obese. All patients with persistent obesity following therapy had initial relative weight of at least 110 percent and peak relative weight of more than 130 percent. The risk of persistent obesity as a result of chronic corticosteroid therapy in initially normal weight children who do not exceed 130 percent relative weight during therapy appears to be small.

Abstract
We compared results for urinary creatinine, serum creatinine, and creatinine clearance, as determined with the Ames Seralyzer, with results determined with the Beckman ASTRA, the DuPont aca, and Technicon's AutoAnalyzer and SMAC. Results for urinary creatinine from the Seralyzer differed significantly (p less than 0.05) from those obtained with the ASTRA and AutoAnalyzer, but not with the aca. The Seralyzer results for serum creatinine were at least 1.0 mg/L higher (p less than 0.05) than by the other three methods. Results for creatinine clearance from the Seralyzer were 8 to 11 mL/min lower (p less than 0.05) than results by the other three methods. These differences are related to the positive interference by bilirubin in the Seralyzer creatinine method. We also evaluated 23 other compounds for interference with these methods for creatinine.

Abstract
Reference standards of lung function was determined in 176 healthy North American Indian children (94 girls, 82 boys) 7 to 18 yr of age. Spirometry, maximal expiratory flow volume curves, and peak expiratory flow rate were measured using techniques and equipment recommended by the American Thoracic Society. Standing height was found to be an accurate predictor of lung function, and prediction equations for each lung function variable are presented using standing height as the independent variable. Lung volumes and expiratory flow rates in North American Indian children were similar to those previously reported for white and Mexican-American children but were greater than those in black children. In both boys and girls, lung function increased in a curvilinear fashion. Volume-adjusted maximal expiratory flow rates after expiring 50 or 75% of FVC tended to decrease in both sexes as age and height increased. Our maximal expiratory flow volume curve data suggest that as North American Indian children grow, lung volume increases at a slightly faster rate than airway size does.

Abstract
The coexistence of epileptic and hysterical seizures in the same patient is not rare and creates problems in diagnosis and management. The authors used simultaneous video-EEG monitoring to document the diagnosis of hysterical seizures in 9 epileptic patients; clear-cut hysterical seizures were seen in all 9. The authors used individualized re-educative psychotherapy to teach patients alternative coping techniques and discharged them on minimum dosages of anticonvulsants. None of the patients had a classical hysterical personality, which suggests that conversion reaction is a more appropriate diagnosis, The etiology of "hysterical" seizures varies; the authors emphasize individualized treatment and long-term follow-up.

Abstract
The antilingula is a highly variable anatomic landmark and in most instances is situated considerably anteriorly and superiorly to the inferior dental foramen. However, a cut made between 5 and 10 mm. distal to the antilingula is within a statistically safe area, in over 72 per cent of cases, to avoid encroaching upon the inferior alveolar foramen.
