Abstract
It has been reported that childhood trauma (CT) is associated with reductions in fractional anisotropy (FA) in individuals with schizophrenia (SZ). Here, we hypothesized that SZ with high levels of CT will show the greatest reductions in FA in frontolimbic and frontoparietal regions compared to healthy controls (HC) with high trauma levels and participants with no/low levels of CT. Thirty-seven SZ and 129 HC with CT experience were dichotomized into groups of 'none/low' or 'high' levels. Participants underwent diffusion-weighted MRI, and Tract-based spatial statistics were employed to assess the main effect of diagnosis, main effect of CT severity irrespective of diagnosis, and interaction between diagnosis and CT severity. SZ showed FA reductions in the corpus callosum and corona radiata compared to HC. Irrespective of a diagnosis, high CT levels (n = 48) were related to FA reductions in frontolimbic and frontoparietal regions compared to those with none/low levels of CT (n = 118). However, no significant interaction between diagnosis and high levels of CT was found (n = 13). Across all participants, we observed effects of CT on late developing frontolimbic and frontoparietal regions, suggesting that the effects of CT severity on white matter organization may be independent of schizophrenia.

Abstract
AIM Public health lifestyle databases at local authority level are currently poorly aligned across the UK. The integration of lifestyle databases at a regional level could provide a rich resource to support research and help inform public health leads and service commissioners in improving service delivery, facilitating decision-making and developing key public health policies. Prior to its implementation, the acceptability of an integrated lifestyle database should be explored. The aim of this study was to consult with public health stakeholders to explore the acceptability of developing and implementing a regional integrated lifestyle database across four key areas of public health: smoking cessation, diet, physical activity and alcohol consumption. METHOD Qualitative interviews were conducted with public health stakeholders recruited from across the East Midlands region of England. All interviews were conducted using video conferencing software and recorded, transcribed, and analysed using the Framework approach. Sixteen public health stakeholders were purposively identified and invited to participate in interviews. RESULTS Stakeholders viewed the integrated database as having potential to support research, service development and commissioning decisions. Barriers such as providers' reluctance to reveal their business strategies to rival organisations, cost of setting up and running the proposed database, complex information-sharing and governance were identified. CONCLUSION An integrated lifestyle database has the potential to support research and service commissioning regionally. However, several barriers were identified that must be addressed prior to the development and implementation of an integrated database.

Abstract
Background Current treatment options for the management of depressive episodes in bipolar disorder are often sub-optimal, with some treatments either noted to be only partially effective or to require long durations of treatment prior to a therapeutic response. Therefore, pharmaco-therapeutic options that reduce depressive symptoms in a more rapid manner might provide a viable therapeutic option for some people. Intravenous (IV) scopolamine, a pan muscarinic antagonist, has been demonstrated in a number of studies to confer a rapid antidepressant effect, albeit no study to date has exclusively evaluated its potential therapeutic effect in a cohort consisting solely of individuals with bipolar disorder. Methods Individuals with bipolar disorder who are currently experiencing a depressive episode of at least moderate severity will be included in this study. Eligible participants will undergo a screening and placebo-run in visit and will be randomised at visit 3 to the treatment or placebo group. Participants will receive the three blinded infusions over the course of 2 weeks, with two subsequent follow-up visits, 1 and 3 weeks after the last infusion visit. The total duration of the study will be approximately 6 weeks. Patients will continue their regular treatment regime in addition to study medication. Objective and subjective mood questionnaires, cognitive assessments and other psychometric instruments will be administered and recorded. Discussion To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the antidepressant effects of IV scopolamine in an exclusively bipolar disorder cohort. Trial findings will contribute to the evidence base regarding the cholinergic hypothesis of mood disorders and specifically might result in an additional safe therapeutic option for the management of depressive episodes in bipolar disorder.

Abstract
Childhood trauma, and in particular physical neglect, has been repeatedly associated with lower performance on measures of social cognition (e.g. emotion recognition tasks) in both psychiatric and non-clinical populations. The neural mechanisms underpinning this association have remained unclear. Here, we investigated whether volumetric changes in three stress-sensitive regions—the amygdala, hippocampus and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)—mediate the association between childhood trauma and emotion recognition in a healthy participant sample (N = 112) and a clinical sample of patients with schizophrenia (N = 46). Direct effects of childhood trauma, specifically physical neglect, on Emotion Recognition Task were observed in the whole sample. In healthy participants, reduced total and left ACC volumes were observed to fully mediate the association between both physical neglect and total childhood trauma score, and emotion recognition. No mediating effects of the hippocampus and amygdala volumes were observed for either group. These results suggest that reduced ACC volume may represent part of the mechanism by which early life adversity results in poorer social cognitive function. Confirmation of the causal basis of this association would highlight the importance of resilience-building interventions to mitigate the detrimental effects of childhood trauma on brain structure and function.

Abstract
This article reviews the state of the art of rural health research and evaluation with par ticular emphasis on the questions of access, health personnel, and financing. The current state of knowledge both in the published and in the unpublished literature in each area is summarized and a series of unresolved issues is proposed. A strategy for further research to include the various types of rural health care programs is described. Major findings suggest that, although rural populations do have somewhat less access to care than do urban populations, our ability to quantify precisely the extent and importance of this discrepancy is underdeveloped. Despite a substantial investment in a variety of rural health care programs there is inadequate information as to their effectiveness. Programs designed to increase the supply of health personnel to rural areas have met with mixed success. Sites staffed by National Health Service Corps personnel show consistently lower productivity than do sites under other sponsorship. Nonphysician personnel (physician assistants and nurse practitioners) offer apromising source of primary carefor rural areas; recent legislation that reimburses such care should increase their utilization. A persistent problem is the expectation (often a mandate) incorporated into many rural health care demonstration efforts that the programs become financially self-sufficient in a finite period of time. Self-sufficiency is a function of utilization, productivity, and the ability to recover charges for services. In many instances stringent enforcement of the self-suf ficiency requirement may mean those those who need the services most will be least likely to receive them.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In accordance with the process of nursing globalization, issues related to the increasing national and international mobility of student and qualified nurses are currently being debated. Identifying international differences and comparing similarities for mutual understanding, development and better harmonization of clinical training of undergraduate nursing students is recommended. AIMS The aim of the study was to describe and compare the nature of the nursing clinical practice education models adopted in different countries. METHODS A qualitative approach involving an expert panel of nurses was adopted. The Nominal Group Technique was employed to develop the initial research instrument for data collection. Eleven members of the UDINE-C network, representing institutions engaged in the process of professional nursing education and research (universities, high schools and clinical institutes), participated. Three data collection rounds were implemented. An analysis of the findings was performed, assuring rigour. RESULTS Differences and homogeneity are reported and discussed regarding: (a) the clinical learning requirements across countries; (b) the prerequisites and clinical learning process patterns; and (c) the progress and final evaluation of the competencies achieved. CONCLUSIONS A wider discussion is needed regarding nursing student exchange and internalization of clinical education in placements across European and non-European countries. A clear strategy for nursing education accreditation and harmonization of patterns of organization of clinical training at placements, as well as strategies of student assessment during this training, are recommended. There is also a need to develop international ethical guidelines for undergraduate nursing students gaining international experience.

Abstract
A 90-year-old man was transferred to a geriatric evaluation and management (GEM) unit for management of hypoactive delirium following a pneumonia and acute myocardial infarction complicated by septic shock. He was found to have central hypothyroidism and hypoadrenalism leading to the diagnosis of hypopituitarism. Cerebral imaging confirmed this was secondary to a pituitary haemorrhage. This case illustrates the complexity of assessment of delirium and its aetiologies. Hypoactive forms of delirium in particular can be difficult to detect and therefore remain undiagnosed. While this patient's delirium was likely multifactorial, his hypopituitary state explained much of his hypoactivity. His drowsiness, bradycardia, hypotension and electrolyte imbalance provided clinical clues to the diagnosis.

Abstract
Résumé
Objectif
Évaluer la prise en charge des patients présentant un priapisme.
Patients et méthodes
Il s’agit d’une étude rétrospective sur quatre ans, du 1er août 2002 au 31 juillet 2006, portant sur 35 patients. Les cadres d’étude ont été les trois grands services d’urologie du Sénégal qui sont tous à Dakar. Les paramètres suivants ont été étudiés: l’âge, le temps d’évolution du priapisme, les données anamnestiques, le type hémodynamique du priapisme, les résultats du bilan paraclinique, le traitement chirurgical (la technique chirurgicale, la technique d’anesthésie), la durée d’hospitalisation, le traitement associé, les complications per- et postopératoires, les résultats immédiats et à long terme.
Résultats
L’âge moyen des patients était de 21,2 ans. Le groupe d’âge le plus représenté était celui de 20 à 30 ans. La majorité des patients (43 %) avaient une notion de drépanocytose connue. La plupart des patients (65 %) ont été pris en charge avant 24 heures d’évolution. Chez tous nos patients, le priapisme était de bas débit. Dans 50 % des cas, les patients drépanocytaires avaient une forme SS. Dans près de la moitié des cas (62 %), la technique d’anesthésie choisie a été le bloc pénien. La ponction des corps caverneux a été le moyen thérapeutique le plus utilisé (63 %). Aucune complication postopératoire majeure n’a été déplorée dans la prise en charge des patients dans notre série. Chez presque tous les patients (95 %), la détumescence durable a été notée le jour même du début du traitement ou le lendemain. Conclusion: Le priapisme, bien que rare en Afrique, est caractérisé par la prédominance de la drépanocytose comme étiologie et le délai particulièrement long de la prise en charge.

Abstract
As part of a longitudinal surveillance program, 35 members of a larger dynamic cohort of 79 Gulf War I veterans exposed to depleted uranium (DU) during combat underwent clinical evaluation at the Baltimore Veterans Administration Medical Center. Health outcomes and biomonitoring results were obtained to assess effects of DU exposure and determine the need for additional medical intervention. Clinical evaluation included medical and exposure histories, physical examination, and laboratory studies including biomarkers of uranium (U) exposure. Urine collections were obtained for U analysis and to measure renal function parameters. Other laboratory measures included basic hematology and chemistry parameters, blood and plasma U concentrations, and markers of bone metabolism. Urine U (uU) excretion remained above normal in participants with embedded DU fragments, with urine U concentrations ranging from 0.006 to 1.88 μg U/g creatinine. Biomarkers of renal effects showed no apparent evidence of renal functional changes or cellular toxicity related to U body burden. No marked differences in markers of bone formation or bone resorption were observed; however, a statistically significant decrease in levels of serum intact parathyroid hormone and significant increases in urinary calcium and sodium excretion were seen in the high versus the low uU groups. Eighteen years after first exposure, members of this cohort with DU fragments continue to excrete elevated concentrations of uU. No significant evidence of clinically important changes was observed in kidney or bone, the two principal target organs of U. Continued surveillance is prudent, however, due to the ongoing mobilization of uranium from fragment depots.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiologic profile of urinary incontinence of the African woman of three Sub Saharan African countries. MATERIAL AND METHODS A multicentric study summarized the epidemiological data collected in female from Nouakchott, Dakar and Ndjamena using a questionnaire. All participants filled an anonymous questionnaire including demographic data and marital status, medical, surgical, gynecological and obstetrical history and the characteristics of the urinary incontinence. RESULTS Overall, 3021 questionnaires were distributed, only 2070 answers (69%) could be processed. Mean age of the overall population was 28 years. Adult women aged less than 30 years accounted for 56% of the study population. The age group 30-49 years accounted for 42% of the population and only 2% of the study group had more than 50 years. The prevalence of incontinence was 367 cases over 2070 (17,7%). The types of incontinence found were: urgency in 28.6% of cases, stress incontinence in 38.4% of cases and mixed in 33% of cases. Approximately 23,9% of nulliparous and 23,5% of the multiparous had urinary incontinence. The leakage was occasional in 75% of the cases and regular in 25% of the cases. According to gravity, in 31% of cases the volume of urines lost necessitated a change of underwear. Of the women presenting urinary incontinence, 85 (23%) consulted a doctor. A psychosocial repercussion was found in 31% of the cases. CONCLUSION Urinary incontinence is much more frequent in our areas than it was thought to be because it was rarely acknowledged.

Abstract
A comparison of the free hydrogen ion concentration and the total hydrogen ion concentration of rain samples shows that rain is a weak acid. The weak acid nature of rain casts doubt on the concepts that the acidity of rain is increasing and that these increases are due to strong acids such as sulfuric acid.

Abstract
Résumé
Objectif
Décrire le profil général de l’infertilité masculine, au Sénégal, en milieu hospitalier.
Matériels et méthodes
Il s’agit d’une étude rétrospective, descriptive, portant sur 492 dossiers de patients vus en consultation pour infertilité conjugale du couple entre 2000 et 2004. L’ensemble des paramètres étudiés portait sur les éléments cliniques et les explorations paracliniques.
Résultats
L’âge moyen des patients était de 39 ans. La durée d’évolution de l’infertilité était en moyenne de six ans. L’infertilité était de type primaire dans 66,5 % des cas. Sur le plan clinique, la varicocèle était l’anomalie la plus souvent retrouvée, soit dans 64,6 % des cas. Le spermogramme était perturbé dans 84,3 % des cas. Les principales perturbations étaient une oligospermie inférieure à 5 millions de spermatozoïes/ml (35,6 %) et une azoospermie dans 28,6 % des cas.
Conclusion
Le profil général de l’infertilité est polymorphe. L’exploration est limitée par la non-disponibilité de la partenaire et l’absence de coordination entre gynécologues et andrologues. L’amélioration de la prise en charge de l’infertilité doit passer par de nouvelles voies de recherche, notamment génétiques et immunologiques, afin d’identifier les causes habituellement cachées de l’infertilité. Elle doit aussi reposer sur une bonne collaboration entre praticiens de santé de la reproduction et la mise en place d’unités d’assistance médicale à la procréation (AMP).

Abstract
e20515 Background: Pain is an important endpoint in metastatic prostate cancer and was the basis for the 1996 FDA approval of mitoxantrone. Standards for pain assessment have evolved, and a 2006 draft FDA guidance provides new recommendations for patient- reported outcomes. Contemporary palliation models generally require pain reduction starting from baseline worst pain scores of ≥4/10, and progression models require a sufficient proportion of patients’ pain scores to worsen in order to assure an adequate effect size. The prevalence and distribution of pain severity at specific points in the prostate cancer disease continuum are not well defined. Consequently, it is unclear if sufficient numbers of patients are available to conduct prospective studies using pain palliation or prevention as primary endpoints. Methods: A questionnaire that includes the Brief Pain Inventory and additional pain/analgesia items was developed as a collaboration between the DOD/PCF-supported Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Consortium (PCCTC) and FDA Study Endpoints and Labeling Design (SEALD) team. IRB waivers were obtained for anonymous administration at 5 PCCTC institutions (Sloan-Kettering, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Anderson, OHSU). Administration is ongoing. Results: Between August-December 2008, 325 men with prostate cancers representing different disease states being seen in outpatient clinics of participating centers were each queried once. Median age was 70 (range 49–87). More than half (n=175) self-reported metastatic disease, including 129 with bone metastases. Among those with bone metastases, 76 (59%) reported experiencing any level of pain in the last week; 49 (38%) reported a worst pain score ≥4/10 of which 38 (78%) used analgesics over the past week and 31 (63%) used daily analgesia. In addition, 70 of the 76 (92%) noted that their pain interfered with work, sleep, or enjoyment of life, with 25 (33%) noting severe interference. Among the 49 patients with pain scores ≥4/10, current or past docetaxel use was reported by 32 (65%), androgen deprivation therapy by 47 (96%), and 28 (57%) had been or were currently enrolled in a clinical trial. Conclusions: Pain is sufficiently prevalent in men with metastatic prostate cancer to enable prospective assessment of palliation endpoints in clinical trials. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
As part of a longitudinal surveillance program, 35 members of a larger cohort of 77 Gulf War I veterans who were victims of depleted uranium (DU) "friendly fire" during combat underwent a 3-day clinical assessment at the Baltimore Veterans Administration Medical Center (VAMC). The assessment included a detailed medical history, exposure history, physical examination, and laboratory studies. Spot and 24-h urine collections were obtained for renal function parameters and for urine uranium (U) measures. Blood U measures were also performed. Urine U excretion was significantly associated with DU retained shrapnel burden (8.821 mug U/g creatinine [creat.] vs. 0.005 mug U/g creat., p = .04). Blood as a U sampling matrix revealed satisfactory results for measures of total U with a high correlation with urine U results (r = .84) when urine U concentrations were >/=0.1 mug/g creatinine. However, isotopic results in blood detected DU in only half of the subcohort who had isotopic signatures for DU detectable in urine. After stratifying the cohort based on urine U concentration, the high-U group showed a trend toward higher concentrations of urine beta(2) microglobulin compared to the low-U group (81.7 v. 69.0 mug/g creat.; p = .11 respectively) and retinol binding protein (48.1 vs. 31.0 mug/g creat.; p = .07 respectively). Bone metabolism parameters showed only subtle differences between groups. Sixteen years after first exposure, this cohort continues to excrete elevated concentrations of urine U as a function of DU shrapnel burden. Although subtle trends emerge in renal proximal tubular function and bone formation, the cohort exhibits few clinically significant U-related health effects.

Abstract
A cohort of seventy-four 1991 Gulf War soldiers with known exposure to depleted uranium (DU) resulting from their involvement in friendly-fire incidents with DU munitions is being followed by the Baltimore Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Biennial medical surveillance visits designed to identify uranium-related changes in health have been conducted since 1993. On-going systemic exposure to DU in veterans with embedded metal fragments is indicated by elevated urine uranium (U) excretion at concentrations up to 1,000-fold higher than that seen in the normal population. Health outcome results from the subcohort of this group of veterans attending the 2005 surveillance visit were examined based on two measures of U exposure. As in previous years, current U exposure is measured by determining urine U concentration at the time of their surveillance visit. A cumulative measure of U exposure was also calculated based on each veteran's past urine U concentrations since first exposure in 1991. Using either exposure metric, results continued to show no evidence of clinically significant DU-related health effects. Urine concentrations of retinol binding protein (RBP), a biomarker of renal proximal tubule function, were not significantly different between the low vs. high U groups based on either the current or cumulative exposure metric. Continued evidence of a weak genotoxic effect from the on-going DU exposure as measured at the HPRT (hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase) locus and suggested by the fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) results in peripheral blood recommends the need for continued surveillance of this population.

Abstract
6052 Background: Regulations require IND application review by the FDA prior to initiation of the clinical study. Deficiencies identified in the study protocol require communication between the FDA reviewers and the Sponsor for resolution. If the deficiencies are not adequately resolved, clinical hold and subsequent delay in the start of the clinical study results. To identify and analyze the commonly encountered IND application deficiencies, data from recent reviews were collected. Methods: Eight clinical reviewers analyzed the deficiencies that had been identified in 268 IND applications reviewed in the DDOP FDA from January 2003 to June 2005. All of the study protocol deficiencies leading to a clinical hold, or requiring resolution prior to study initiation were categorized as deficiencies pertaining to: patient eligibility; starting drug dose; study conduct (toxicity management, dose adjustment, stopping criteria); statistical or endpoints; non-clinical; and other issues. Results: 268 IND applications reviewed over a 30-month period by eight medical officers were analyzed. One hundred and twelve (42%) of the applications had no deficiencies; however, 156 (58%) had one (31%) or multiple (69%) deficiencies. Deficiencies pertained to study conduct/scheme (65%), dose (48%), patient eligibility (46%), others (31%), statistics or endpoints (15%), and non-clinical (4%) issues. In 141 (90%) of the deficient applications the deficiencies were adequately addressed by FDA reviewer-Sponsor communication and the trials could start as scheduled. Fifteen (10%) deficient trials were placed on clinical hold. Fourteen (93%) of these trials had multiple deficiencies that pertained to patient eligibility in 12 (80%), starting drug dose in 12 (80%), study conduct in 11 (73%), other in 7 (47%), and non-clinical and statistical issues in 2 (13%) each. Conclusions: Deficiencies were identified in 58% of the reviewed IND applications: 90% of these were resolved by FDA-Sponsor communication. Only 10% of deficient studies were placed on clinical hold; all except one had multiple deficiencies. The most common deficiencies leading to clinical hold pertained to eligibility of study population and proposed starting drug dose. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
In 2002, Tennis Australia commissioned a report into the experiences of elite female past players on leaving the professional tennis circuit. Australian players who were in the top 800 of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) end of year rankings and who had left the professional circuit within the previous 15 years were asked by mail to respond to a questionnaire. The questionnaire asked players to describe their feelings about leaving the tour during the time leading up to leaving the tour to two years after retirement. The main findings of the study suggested that those who planned to leave the tour found the transition process easy, whereas those who did not plan to leave the tour found the process difficult. Most players (66%) did not regret leaving the tour, and, although the remaining players responded that they regretted leaving, none attempted a comeback. Tennis Australia has implemented strategies to assist current players on the professional tour based on the results of this study.

Abstract
AIM To assess the influence of high extracellular glucose on the expression of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonist, gremlin, in cultured bovine retinal pericytes (BRPC). METHODS BRPC were cultured under conditions of 5 mM and 30 mM d-glucose for 7 days and total RNA was isolated. Gremlin mRNA levels were correlated, by RT-PCR, with other genes implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy and the signalling pathways in high glucose induced gremlin expression were probed using physiological inhibitors. Gremlin expression was also examined in the retina of streptozotocin induced diabetic mice. RESULTS High glucose stimulated a striking increase in BRPC gremlin mRNA levels in parallel with increases in mRNA for the growth factors vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta), and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and changes in other genes including fibronectin and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). High glucose triggered gremlin expression was modulated by anti-TGFbeta antibody, by the uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, CCCP, and by inhibition of MAP-kinase (MAPK) activation. Striking gremlin expression was observed in the outer retina of diabetic mice and also at the level of the vascular wall. CONCLUSIONS Gremlin gene expression is induced in BRPC in response to elevated glucose and in the retina of the streptozotocin induced diabetic mouse. Its expression is modulated by hyperglycaemic induction of the MAPK, reactive oxygen species, and TGFbeta pathways, all of which are reported to have a role in diabetic fibrotic disease. This implicates a role for gremlin in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy.

Abstract
Nearly all children with bleeding disorders who received factor concentrates prior to the late 1980s were infected with hepatitis C. Treatment of adults infected with hepatitis C with combination therapy consisting of ribavirin and interferon has shown sustained response rates of 30-60%. Little data is available on the response of children infected with hepatitis C treated with combination therapy, especially those with bleeding disorders. We wish to report a single paediatric haemophilia treatment center's results of treatment of adolescents with haemophilia and hepatitis C infection with combination therapy. All patients followed at the haemophilia treatment center with hepatitis C, who were human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) negative and had a measurable hepatitis C viral load were eligible. Study patients received at least 6 months of 3 MU interferon-alpha via subcutaneous injection three times per week and 1000 mg day(-1) of ribavirin. Eleven patients agreed to participate in the study. Three patients had an un measurable viral load after 6 months of combination therapy. All three completed 12 months of medication and continued to remain free of hepatitis C for 12 months after discontinuation of therapy. Side-effects of combination therapy were significant but tolerable. The sustained response rate in this study is similar to the historical response rate seen in adults but less than the other reported response rates seen in children treated with combination therapy. Given the toxicity of combination therapy, and natural history of hepatitis C infection in children, consideration of a liver biopsy to evaluate disease progression prior to considering antiviral medications is warranted.

Abstract
Traditional paper-and-pencil neuropsychological batteries used to document cognitive deficits in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients lack timing precision. This makes it difficult to accurately measure psychomotor slowing, a central cognitive symptom of MS. Additionally, traditional batteries lack multiple alternate forms necessary to control for practice effects when assessing cognition over time. Finally such batteries are lengthy and expensive. Computerized neuropsychological batteries address many of these shortcomings. They measure response time more precisely, require less administration time, include alternate forms, and are ideal for rapid screening/triage. Although there are normative data on the reliability and validity of computerized measures, there have been no controlled validation studies with MS patients. The current study was designed to validate a computerized neuropsychological battery (ANAM) for use with relapsing-remitting (RR) MS patients. Prior to initiation of interferon-beta-1a (Avonex) treatment, subjects participated in a neuropsychological evaluation consisting of traditional and computerized measures. Moderate-to-high correlations were found between computerized and traditional measures. Computerized tests accurately predicted performance on key traditional tests. The battery was also concordant with traditional measures in identifying RR MS patients with and without neurocognitive impairment. Findings are discussed with respect to increased accuracy and accessibility of neuropsychological evaluations for MS patients.

Abstract
Cross-national comparisons of healthcare systems can help us to better understand them and to offer possible solutions for problems identified within these jurisdictions. Because multiple discontinuities present in most healthcare systems interfere with the appropriate clinical care of frail older people, we were interested in comparing the situation in three countries with markedly different healthcare systems. At one end of the spectrum we find Canada, with an almost fully socialized system. At the other stands the United States, where market forces are allowed the freest rein in any developed nation. Israel offers an intermediate model with elements held in common with both the U.S. and Canadian systems. Although the problems outlined in this paper can be addressed at the "micro" level, it is through an improvement in the structuring and organization of national systems of care that the appropriate conditions for the care of frail older people can be truly bettered. This international comparison offers insights for policy makers in these three states in particular and other countries in general.

Abstract
To determine clinical health effects in a small group of US Gulf War veterans (n = 50) who were victims of depleted uranium (DU) "friendly fire," we performed periodic medical surveillance examinations. We obtained urine uranium determinations, clinical laboratory values, reproductive health measures, neurocognitive assessments, and genotoxicity measures. DU-exposed Gulf War veterans with retained metal shrapnel fragments were excreting elevated levels of urine uranium 8 years after their first exposure (range, 0.018 to 39.1 micrograms/g creatinine for DU-exposed Gulf War veterans with retained fragments vs 0.002 to 0.231 microgram/g creatinine in DU exposed but without fragments). The persistence of the elevated urine uranium suggests ongoing mobilization from the DU fragments and results in chronic systemic exposure. Clinical laboratory outcomes, including renal functioning, were essentially normal. Neurocognitive measures showing subtle differences between high and low uranium exposure groups, seen previously, have since diminished. Sister chromatid exchange frequency, a measure of mutation in peripheral lymphocytes, was related to urine uranium level (6.35 sister chromatid exchanges/cell in the high uranium exposure group vs 5.52 sister chromatid exchanges/cell in the low uranium exposure group; P = 0.03). Observed health effects were related to subtle but biologically plausible perturbations in central nervous system function and a general measure of mutagen exposure. The findings related to uranium's chemical rather than radiologic toxicity. Observations in this group of veterans prompt speculation about the health effects of DU in other exposure scenarios.

Abstract
The clinical features of 58 consecutive patients presenting with a new case of chronic otitis media were prospectively collected over a 15-month period. Twenty-three ears had a keratin filled marginal or attic defect (14 with cholesteatoma), 20 had a self-clearing marginal or attic defect, and 21 had a central tympanic membrane perforation (including one cholesteatoma). Twenty patients (35 per cent) had an abnormal finding in the opposite ear. The patients' ages were dispersed over a wide range of age groups with a mean age of 34 years. Hearing loss was the most common presenting symptom (78 per cent), followed by otorrhoea (64 per cent). A significant proportion of patients denied any history of otorrhoea. Our findings should alert the clinician to suspecting a new case of COM in patients with hearing loss of any age, with, or without, a history of otorrhoea, regardless of their background ear history or the duration of their symptoms.

Abstract
Transcripts of each of the four NF1 genes (NF1 A, B, C (CTF/NF1) and X) are expressed in both lactating and involuting mouse mammary gland but there is an indication that increased expression of an NF1 C (CTF/NF1) transcript accompanies early involution. The involution-associated 74 kD NF1 and the 114 kD lactation-associated NF1 are recognised by an anti-NF1 C-specific antibody that does not cross-react with other NF1 proteins. It is most likely that this lactation/involution switch in NF1 factors represents a change in expression of NF1 C (CTF/NF1) proteins.
