Abstract
CONTEXT Engaging in exercise and appropriate nutritional intake improves mental health by reducing anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. However, few researchers have examined energy availability (EA), mental health, and sleep patterns in athletic trainers (ATs). OBJECTIVE To examine ATs' EA, mental health risk (ie, depression, anxiety), and sleep disturbances by sex (male, female), job status (part time [PT AT], full time [FT AT]), and occupational setting (college or university, high school, or nontraditional). DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Free living in occupational settings. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS A total of 47 ATs (male PT ATs = 12, male FT ATs = 12; female PT ATs = 11, female FT ATs = 12) in the southeastern United States. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Anthropometric measurements consisted of age, height, weight, and body composition. Energy availability was measured through energy intake and exercise energy expenditure. We used surveys to assess the depression risk, anxiety (state or trait) risk, and sleep quality. RESULTS Thirty-nine ATs engaged in exercise, and 8 did not exercise. Overall, 61.5% (n = 24/39) reported low EA (LEA); 14.9% (n = 7/47) displayed a risk for depression; 25.5% (n = 12/47) indicated a high risk for state anxiety; 25.5% (n = 12/47) were at high risk for trait anxiety, and 89.4% (n = 42/47) described sleep disturbances. No differences were found by sex and job status for LEA, depression risk, state or trait anxiety, or sleep disturbances. Those ATs not engaged in exercise had a greater risk for depression (risk ratio [RR] = 1.950), state anxiety (RR = 2.438), trait anxiety (RR = 1.625), and sleep disturbances (RR = 1.147), whereas ATs with LEA had an RR of 0.156 for depression, 0.375 for state anxiety, 0.500 for trait anxiety, and 1.146 for sleep disturbances. CONCLUSIONS Although most ATs engaged in exercise, their dietary intake was inadequate, they were at increased risk for depression and anxiety, and they experienced sleep disturbances. Those who did not exercise were at an increased risk for depression and anxiety. Energy availability, mental health, and sleep affect overall quality of life and can affect ATs' ability to provide optimal health care.

Abstract
Background: Studies examining the physiological consequences associated with deficits in energy availability (EA) for male athletes are sparse. Purpose: To examine male athlete triad components; low energy availability (LEA) with or without an eating disorder risk (ED), reproductive hormone [testosterone (T)], and bone mineral density (BMD) in endurance-trained male athletes during different training periods. Methods: A cross-sectional design with 14 participants (age: 26.4 ± 4.2 years; weight: 70.6 ± 6.4 kg; height: 179.5 ± 4.3 cm; BMI: 21.9 ± 1.8 kg/m2) were recruited from the local community. Two separate training weeks [low (LV) and high (HV) training volumes] were used to collect the following: 7-day dietary and exercise logs, and blood concentration of T. Anthropometric measurements was taken prior to data collection. A one-time BMD measure (after the training weeks) and VO2max-HR regressions were utilized to calculate EEE. Results: Overall, EA presented as 27.6 ± 10.7 kcal/kgFFM·d-1 with 35% (n = 5) of participants demonstrating increased risk for ED. Examining male triad components, 64.3% presented with LEA (≤ 30 kcal/kgFFM·d-1) while participants presented with T (1780.6 ± 1672.6 ng/dl) and BMD (1.31 ±.09 g/cm2) within normal reference ranges. No differences were found across the 2 training weeks for EI, with slight differences for EA and EEE. Twenty-five participants (89.3%) under-ingested CHO across both weeks, with no differences between weeks. Conclusion: Majority of endurance-trained male athletes presented with one compromised component of the triad (LEA with or without ED risk); however, long-term negative effects on T and BMD were not demonstrated. Over 60% of the participants presented with an EA ≤ 30 kcal/kgFFM·d-1, along with almost 90% not meeting CHO needs. These results suggest male endurance-trained athletes may be at risk to negative health outcomes similar to mechanistic behaviors related to EA with or without ED in female athletes.

Abstract
CONTEXT Research exists on energy balances (EBs) and eating disorder (ED) risks in physically active populations and occupations by settings, but the EB and ED risk in athletic trainers (ATs) have not been investigated. OBJECTIVE To assess ATs' energy needs, including the macronutrient profile, and examine ED risk and pathogenic behavioral differences between sexes (men, women) and job statuses (part time or full time) and among settings (college or university, high school, nontraditional). DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Free-living in job settings. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS Athletic trainers (n = 46; male part-time graduate assistant ATs = 12, male full-time ATs = 11, female part-time graduate assistant ATs = 11, female full-time ATs = 12) in the southeastern United States. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Anthropometric measures (sex, age, height, weight, body composition), demographic characteristics (job status [full- or part-time AT], job setting [college/university, high school, nontraditional], years of AT experience, exercise background, alcohol use), resting metabolic rate, energy intake (EI), total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), exercise energy expenditure, EB, macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, fats), the Eating Disorder Inventory-3, and the Eating Disorder Inventory-3 Symptom Checklist. RESULTS The majority of participants (84.8%, n = 39) had an ED risk, with 26.1% (n = 12) engaging in at least 1 pathogenic behavior, 50% (n = 23) in 2 pathogenic behaviors, and 10.8% (n = 5) in >2 pathogenic behaviors. Also, 82.6% of ATs (n = 38) presented in negative EB (EI < TDEE). Differences were found in resting metabolic rate for sex and job status (F1,45 = 16.48, P = .001), EI (F1,45 = 12.01, P = .001), TDEE (F1,45 = 40.36, P < .001), and exercise energy expenditure (F1,38 = 5.353, P = .026). No differences were present in EB for sex and job status (F1,45 = 1.751, P = .193); χ2 analysis revealed no significant relationship between ATs' sex and EB ({\rm{\chi }}_{1,46}^2= 0.0, P = 1.00) and job status and EB ({\rm{\chi }}_{1,46}^2 = 2.42, P = .120). No significant relationship existed between Daily Reference Intakes recommendations for all macronutrients and sex or job status. CONCLUSIONS These athletic trainers experienced negative EB, similar to other professionals in high-demand occupations. Regardless of sex or job status, ATs had a high ED risk and participated in unhealthy pathogenic behaviors. The physical and mental concerns associated with these findings indicate a need for interventions targeted at ATs' health behaviors.

Abstract
CONTEXT Female athletes/performing artists can present with low energy availability (LEA) either through unintentional (e.g., inadvertent undereating) or intentional methods (e.g., eating disorder [ED]). While LEA and ED risk have been examined independently, little research has examined these simultaneously. Awareness of LEA with or without ED risk may provide clinicians with innovative prevention and intervention strategies. OBJECTIVE To examine LEA with or without ED risk (e.g., eating attitudes, pathogenic behaviors) in female collegiate athletes/performing artists. DESIGN Cross-sectional and descriptive. SETTING Free-living in sport-specific settings. PARTICIPANTS Collegiate female athletes/performing artist (n=121; age: 19.8±2.0 years; height: 168.9±7.7 cm; weight: 63.6±9.26 kg) in equestrian (n=28), volleyball (n=12), softball (n=17), beach volleyball (n=18), ballet (n=26) and soccer (n=20) participated in this study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Anthropometric measurements (height, weight, body composition), resting metabolic rate, energy intake, total daily energy expenditure, exercise energy expenditure, Eating Disorder Inventory-3 (EDI-3), and EDI-3 Symptom Checklist were assessed. Chi-square analysis examined differences between LEA and sport type, LEA and ED risk, ED risk and sport type, and pathogenic behaviors and sport type. RESULTS Female athletes/performing artists (81%; n=98) displayed LEA and significant differences were found between LEA and sport type (χ25=43.8, P<.01). Female athletes/performing artists (76.0%; n=92) presented with ED risk with no significant difference between ED risk and sport. EDI-3 Symptom Checklist revealed 61.2% (n=74) engaged in pathogenic behaviors, with dieting the most common (51.2%; n=62). Athletes/performing artist displayed LEA with ED risk (76.0%; n=92). No significant differences were found between LEA with ED risk and sport. Softball was the highest with 82.4% (n=14) reporting LEA with ED risk followed by ballet (76%; n=19). CONCLUSION Our results suggest a large proportion of collegiate female athletes/performing artists are at risk for LEA with ED risk, thus warranting education, identification, prevention, and intervention strategies relative to fueling for performance.

Abstract
Botanical oils have a long history of traditional use and are routinely applied to skin care. The focus of this review is to contrast the functionality of skin oils versus the differential biological and toxicological effects of major plant oils, and to correlate them to their compositional changes. In total, over 70 vegetable oils were clustered according to their lipid composition to promote awareness of health practitioners and botanical product manufacturers for the safety and efficacy of oil-based interventions based on their fatty acid profiles. Since multiple skin disorders result in depletion or disturbance of skin lipids, a tailored mixture of multiple botanical oils to simultaneously maintain natural skin-barrier function, promote repair and regeneration of wounded tissues, and achieve corrective modulation of immune disorders may be required. As bioactive constituents of botanical oils enter the human body by oral or topical application and often accumulate in measurable blood concentrations, there is also a critical need for monitoring their hazardous effects to reduce the possible over-added toxicity and promote maximal normal tissue sparing. The review also provides a useful tool to improve efficacy and functionality of fatty acid profiles in cosmetic applications.

Abstract
Plants were an essential part of foraging for food and health, and for centuries remained the only medicines available to people from the remote mountain regions. Their correct botanical provenance is an essential basis for understanding the ethnic cultures, as well as for chemical identification of the novel bioactive molecules with therapeutic effects. This work describes the use of herbal medicines in the Beskid mountain ranges located south of Krakow and Lviv, two influential medieval centers of apothecary tradition in the region. Local botanical remedies shared by Boyko, Lemko, and Gorale ethnic groups were a part of the medieval European system of medicine, used according to their Dioscoridean and Galenic qualities. Within the context of ethnic plant medicine and botanical classification, this review identified strong preferences for local use of St John's-wort (Hypericum perforatum L.), wormwood (Artemisia absinthium L.), garlic (Allium sativum L.), gentian (Gentiana lutea L.), lovage (Levisticum officinale W.D.J. Koch), and lesser periwinkle (Vinca minor L.). While Ukrainian ethnic groups favored the use of guilder-rose (Viburnum opulus L.) and yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.), Polish inhabitants especially valued angelica (Angelica archangelica L.) and carline thistle (Carlina acaulis L.). The region also holds a strong potential for collection, cultivation, and manufacture of medicinal plants and plant-based natural specialty ingredients for the food, health and cosmetic industries, in part due to high degree of biodiversity and ecological preservation. Many of these products, including whole food nutritional supplements, will soon complement conventional medicines in prevention and treatment of diseases, while adding value to agriculture and local economies.

Patient-centered drug development (PCDD) is a shift in the way that drugs are developed, systematically incorporating patient participation in all stages of medicines development. The more the research sector understands the needs and values of patients, the more effective and efficient it can be in bringing meaningful drugs and evidence to patients and providers. In this paper, we describe PCDD, provide examples of PCDD work across the phases of drug development, and discuss the challenges to making PCDD systematic. We describe how the developing Learning Health System will enable PCCD: we believe that the Learning Health System will address PCDD barriers by connecting stakeholders, enabling the more efficient flow of data, information, and evidence in the health ecosystem, and by providing governance for the connected ecosystem.

Abstract
The available treatment options for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) have problems relating to efficacy, adverse effects and cost, making treatment a complex issue. We review the evidence relating to the different methods of treatment in relation to - efficacy and toxicity of the drugs in different areas of the world; ability to monitor side effects, length of treatment; ability of patients to pay for and stay safe during treatment, ability of the healthcare services to give intramuscular, intravenous or oral therapy; the sex and child-bearing potential of the patient and the immune status of the patient. The high mortality of untreated/ poorly treated VL infection makes the decisions paramount, but a unified and coordinated response by each area is likely to be more effective and informative to future policies than an ad hoc response. For patients in resource-rich countries, liposomal amphotericin B appears to be the optimal treatment. In South Asia, miltefosine is being used; the combination of single dose liposomal amphotericin B and short course miltefosine looks encouraging but has the problem of potential reproductive toxicities in females. In Africa, the evidence to switch from SSG is not yet compelling. The need to monitor and plan for evolving drug failure, secondary to leishmania parasite resistance, is paramount. With a few drugs the options may be limited; however, we await key ongoing trials in both Africa and India to explore the effects of combination treatment. If safe and reliable combinations are revealed by the ongoing studies, it is far from clear as to whether this will avoid leishmania parasite resistance. The development of new drugs to add to the armamentarium is paramount. Lessons can be learnt from the management of diseases such as tuberculosis and malaria in terms of planning the switch to combination treatment. As important as establishing the best choice for specific antileishmanial agent is ensuring treatment centers, which can best manage the problems encountered during treatment, specifically malnutrition, bleeding, intercurrent infections, drug side effects and detecting and treating underlying immunosuppression.

Abstract
Erythropoietin is a 30.4 kDa glycoprotein produced by the kidney, which is mostly known for its physiological function in regulating red blood cell production in the bone marrow Accumulating evidence, however suggests that erythropoietin has additional organ protective effects, which may specifically be useful in protecting the brain and kidneys from injury. Experimental evidence suggests that these protective mechanisms are multi-factorial in nature and may include inhibition of apoptotic cell death, stimulation of cellular regeneration, inhibition of deleterious pathways and promotion of recovery. In this article we review the physiology of erythropoietin, assess previous work that supports the role of erythropoietin as a general tissue protective agent and explain the mechanisms by which it may achieve this tissue protective effect. We then focus on specific laboratory and clinical data that suggest that erythropoietin has a strong brain protective and kidney protective effect. In addition, we comment on the implications of these studies for clinicians at the bedside and for researchers designing controlled trials to further elucidate the true clinical utility of erythropoietin as a neuroprotective and nephroprotective agent. Finally, we describe EPO-TBI, a double-blinded multi-centre randomised controlled trial involving the authors that is being conducted to investigate the organ protective effects of erythropoietin on the brain, and also assesses its effect on the kidneys.

Abstract
Iatrogenic venous pseudoaneurysm following venipuncture is an extremely rare complication of a very common medical procedure. A review of the vascular surgical literature revealed that only two cases of venous pseudoaneurysm secondary to venipuncture have been reported in the past half-century. We report the case of a 64-year-old anticoagulated male with a 7-month history of right arm swelling after venipuncture. The patient, on warfarin therapy for chronic atrial fibrillation, described progressive swelling at a previous venipuncture site. He eventually underwent limited two-dimensional ultrasonography, performed for a suspected hematoma, revealing a 4.3 × 3.3 × 2.0 cm pseudoaneurysm of the right basilic vein. These findings were later confirmed by a formal venous duplex sonogram. Similar to other forms of aneurysm and focal vascular dilation, the risks of venous psuedoaneurysm include embolism, thrombosis, and the compression of adjacent structures. Although both thrombin injection and coil embolization have been described as nonsurgical treatment options for arterial pseudoaneurysms, surgical resection may be the most appropriate approach for those with a venous equivalent. The segment of basilic vein containing the pseudoaneurysm was resected. This case demonstrates the need for physicians to consider venous pseudoaneurysm as a possible complication of venipuncture in individuals undergoing anticoagulation therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of dichloroacetate (DCA) in acute limb ischemia. METHODS Anterior tibialis muscle samples of DCA-treated and control animals (Sprague Dawley rats) were collected and assayed for pyruvate dehydrogenase activity, lactate, adenosine triphosphate, and creatine phosphate using spectrophotometry. A physiograph was used to measure fatigability. In an ischemia/reperfusion model using New Zealand rabbits, serum lactate and end-tidal CO2 were compared. Skeletal muscle was evaluated microscopically for muscle necrosis. RESULTS DCA administration resulted in a 50% increase in pyruvate dehydrogenase activity (p = 0.025), reversal of the increase in lactate levels seen during acute limb ischemia (p = 0.41), a significant increase in the time to skeletal muscle fatigue (p = 0.05), a trend toward increased adenosine triphosphate (p = 0.07), and a significant increase in creatine phosphate (p < 0.02). DCA treatment resulted in a decrease in serum lactate (p < 0.01) and end-tidal CO2 (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION In acute limb ischemia and reperfusion, DCA administration provides metabolic protection to skeletal muscle.

Abstract
The standard deployment of Gore Excluder endoprostheses involves rapid pulling of the deployment knob once the graft is thought to be properly positioned. We describe an alternative technique that involves the slow pulling of the deployment knob. The key features of this technique include anticipating the asymmetric flowering of the graft that occurs toward the contralateral limb, prompt correction of any graft malpositioning, and maintaining the slow deployment until the contralateral gate is released. Our experience with this technique demonstrates that it is accurate, safe, and reduces the need for proximal extension cuffs.

Abstract
Carotid pseudoaneurysms are rare occurrences. They often result from trauma, but can also present following carotid endarterectomy. Treating such pseudoaneurysms can be difficult due to previous surgery and limited access to the high internal carotid artery. A case involving a postendarterectomy carotid pseudoaneurysm treated via a femoral approach with a covered stent using endoluminal techniques is presented.

Abstract
AIM To compare the qualitative assessment of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow using a SPAMM (spatial modulation of magnetization) technique with cine phase contrast images (cine PC) and fast spin echo (FSE) T2-weighted images. MATERIALS AND METHODS SPAMM, PC and T2-weighted sequences were performed on 22 occasions in 19 patients. Eleven of the studies were performed following a neuroendoscopic third ventriculostomy (NTV), and in these cases, the success of the NTV was determined by clinical follow-up. Two observers used consensus to grade the presence of CSF flow at nine different sites for each study. RESULTS At 14 of the 178 matched sites, which could be assessed by both SPAMM and cine PC, SPAMM CSF flow grade was higher than that of cine PC. At a further 14/178 matched sites, the cine PC grade was higher than that of SPAMM. There was definite CSF flow at 113/182 (62%) of all the cine PC sites assessed, and 110/181 (61%) of all SPAMM sites assessed whilst 108/198 (54%) of FSE T2-weighted image sites demonstrated flow voids. Cine PC grades were higher than SPAMM at the cerebral aqueduct (P < 0.05, Wilcoxon sign rank test). Definite CSF flow within the anterior third ventricle was present in 4/5 (SPAMM) and 3/5 (cine PC) successful NTVs, 0/2 (SPAMM and cine PC) unsuccessful NTVs and 1/10 (SPAMM and cine PC) patients without NTV. CONCLUSION SPAMM provides a comparable assessment of intracranial CSF flow to that of cine phase contrast imaging at all CSF sites except the cerebral aqueduct.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An outcomes analysis study was performed to quantify the benefit of directed diagnostic imaging of selected very young women (defined as < or = 30 years of age) in our population. Summary results are presented. PATIENTS AND METHODS Women's Imaging Services were queried for studies performed between April 1, 1997 and December 31, 1998 on women < or = 30 years of age. The authors' referral pathway mandates breast examination by a general surgeon or by the head of Women's Imaging before mammography in all such patients. Studies were excluded if there were reviews of scans performed at other sites. The resulting 142 mammograms were evaluated. RESULTS Ninety percent of the 142 studies were within normal limits. Only 11 mammograms indicated any required action (7.8%), and only 5 of these merited biopsy. All biopsies revealed benign disease. No carcinomas were detected by biopsy or on clinical follow-up in this cohort of women. These values are congruent with the scarce literature on mammography in this population. CONCLUSIONS The yield of mammography in the age < or = 30 years population is low.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze the frequency and clinical importance of proctitis and hematochezia after radiation therapy for prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of 63 patients with prostate cancer treated with curative intent by a single radiation oncologist between July 1, 1993, and December 31, 1997, 30 were asymptomatic, but 33 had heme-positive digital rectal examination (DRE) results or hematochezia at routine follow-up. Twenty-six of these patients underwent endoscopy of the sigmoid colon or colon for evaluation of these symptoms. Median doses of 60.0 Gy at postoperative radiation therapy and 68.4 Gy at definitive radiation therapy were delivered to four fields daily by using blocking customized on the basis of computed tomographically documented evidence of disease. The Fisher exact test and the Kaplan-Meier method were used to analyze the results. RESULTS The frequency of rectal bleeding approached 80% at 3 years after radiation therapy in definitively treated patients. Only 14 patients had proctitis: eight as the only sign, and six in association with other disease. Six patients had other disease without proctitis, and four patients had normal examination findings. The frequency of rectal bleeding in the presence of proctitis was similar to that in the presence of other disease (Fisher exact test, P =.68). CONCLUSION Hematochezia or positive DRE findings are frequent sequelae of definitive radiation therapy for prostate cancer; however, causes other than proctitis are often documented at endoscopy. Symptomatic individuals warrant rigorous evaluation to rule out serious coexistent disease.

Abstract
Obstructive pneumonitis frequently occurs distal to hilar bronchogenic carcinomas or in lung adjacent to peripheral tumors. The article evaluates the role of MRI in the differentiation of tumor from pneumonitis. Twelve patients underwent MRI of the thorax before surgery. T1-weighted (SE 310/20) and T2-weighted (SE 2000/60-120) images were obtained through the tumor and presumed areas of pneumonitis. Five histologic types of pneumonitis were identified on pathologic examination of the 12 specimens. Cholesterol pneumonitis, found in 7 patients, was the most common type. Organizing pneumonitis, bronchiectasis with mucus plugs, atelectasis, and abscess were found in 3, 4, 2, and 1 patients, respectively. MRI was able to differentiate tumor from pneumonitis in 5 of 6 patients with a hilar mass and in 5 of 6 patients with a peripheral tumor. This was achieved by a visual difference in signal intensity on heavily T2-weighted (SE 2000/120) images. Cholesterol pneumonitis and bronchiectasis with mucus plugs were always hyperintense relative to tumor, and organizing pneumonitis and atelectasis were isointense and indistinguishable from tumor. MRI can differentiate tumor from pneumonitis provided that pneumonitis is of the cholesterol type or if there are mucus plugs in the collapsed lung.

Abstract
The case of a 26-year-old white man with multiple sclerosis is presented. Although the patient was unaware of his condition, the signs and symptoms that he presented were highly suggestive of multiple sclerosis. The case is unusual in that initial diagnosis was made by a senior dental student in a social rather than a clinical setting and without a presenting complaint by the patient. The significance of a thorough clinical examination and the responsibility of a general practitioner as a primary health provider to be observant of signs of disease such as multiple sclerosis are discussed.

Abstract
Alterations in reticulocyte size occur 2-3 days after the onset of iron deficient or megaloblastic erythropoiesis and precede, by several weeks, changes in mean corpuscular volume (MCV). Iron-deficiency anemia induced in a normal subject by repeated phlebotomies was characterized by the initial development of larger than normal reticulocytes followed by an abrupt decrease in reticulocyte size. Microreticulocytes appeared 3 days after the fall in per cent iron saturation and antedated the decrease in MCV to below normal by 6 wk. Mean reticulocyte size was disproportionately smaller than normal in patients presenting with iron deficiency. In contrast, reticulocyte size increased abruptly in a patient (and rats) 2-3 days after administration of methotrexate. Mean reticulocyte size was disproportionately larger than normal in patients presenting with folate or vitamin B12 deficiency. Specific replacement therapy with iron, folate, or vitamin B12 was quickly followed by normalization of reticulocyte size.
