Clinical Problems

An electronic mail mailing list has been created to aid communication between pediatric neurologists. Any child neurologist or neurologist with connections to the Internet, or a private on-line service can subscribe. The mailserver serves as a forum for discussion of topics in child neurology. Topics include problem patients, therapeutic approaches to clinical problems, and discussions of recent journal articles. In addition, we hope that individual case reports may evolve into series of patients by pooling similar patients from separate institutions. Cases, questions, comments, etc. e-mailed to the mailserver are automatically forwarded to everyone on the list. Responses can either be private (to the initial sender or any other member) or public (to everyone on the list). The CHILD-NEURO mailserver is run out of the University of Wisconsin, and the service is free-of-charge. To sign up, send an e-mail message from the address you will be using to: [email protected] with no subject and SUBSCRIBE CHILDNEURO as the entire message. A welcoming message with instructions on the use of the mailserver will be sent to new subscribers. Please e-mail or phone Dr. Ken Mack ([email protected]; 608-263-9086) or Dr. Steve Leber ([email protected]) for more information, or if difficulties arise in subscribing to the list.

Abstract Background CURE ID is an internet-based repository developed collaboratively by FDA and NCATS/NIH, with the support of WHO and IDSA. It encourages clinicians globally to share novel uses of existing drugs for patients with difficult-to-treat infections. It is designed to serve as a rapid communication platform for healthcare providers during an outbreak, providing for systematic case-sharing, discussion, and the latest literature. Besides case reports, CURE ID offers a discussion platform for clinicians, disease-specific clinical trials curated from clincialtrials.gov, and a newsfeed that shows relevant journal articles and news related to COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. Methods The CURE ID team extracted individual case reports on patient-level treatments and outcomes of COVID-19 infection from the published literature and gathered clinician-submitted cases through the electronic case report form. Additionally, CURE ID partnered with the University of Pennsylvania’s CORONA database to further populate the CURE ID database with published cases. Results As of submission, lopinavir-Ritonavir (n=51) was the most commonly reported drug used. The following were also reported: hydroxychloroquine (n=31), azithromycin (n=28), arbidol (n=22), interferon alfa-2B (n=18), moxifloxacin (n=18), methylprednisolone (n=17), ivermectin (n=14), lopinavir (n=12), oseltamivir (n=12). The other drugs reported were danoprevir-ritonavir, intravenous immunoglobulins, interferon, interferon alfa, and tocilizumab. CURE ID currently includes more than 150 detailed COVID case reports of 65 repurposed drugs. We expect case reporting for specific drugs to be dynamic and additional data to accrue. Updated results will be presented. Conclusion Several drugs are being repurposed to treat COVID-19. CURE ID gives clinicians an opportunity to share their treatment experiences and discuss their questions with a global community of healthcare providers. By utilizing the CURE ID platform, in conjunction with data gathered from other registries, observational studies and clinical trials, hypotheses can be generated that may inform future clinical trials and ultimately, potentially find safe and effective treatments for this deadly disease.

This article studies social networks on the Internet created by popular applications such as e-mails, Web, chat, file sharing via peer-to-peer interaction, and online gaming. The Internet has its roots in military and academia. Connections are available around the world at academic institutions, military installations, government agencies, commercial enterprises, commercial information providers (AOL, CompuServe, and MSN), and Internet service providers. The Internet offers the following services: sending and receiving e-mail (electronic mail), transferring files between computers, participating in discussion groups through newsgroups and mailing lists, searching and retrieving information, chat, Internet relay chat, instant messaging, Internet telephony (voice chat), and on-line shopping. Newsgroups contain databases of messages on topics. They are similar to mailing lists, except that e-mail messages are posted to newsgroup sites. Bulletin boards and discussion groups offer similar services. People “surf the net” to find information and download files and connect directly to other computers. Web pages are used to communicate with customers and suppliers, describe organizations and products, tender documents, and provide services (banking, stocks, and software).

Summer has been a busy time for the British media – phone hacking, atrocities in Norway, famine in Africa, riots, financial crises….hardly the usual ‘silly season’. The lack of health stories on the front pages might suggest that all is calm on the hospital front line. I suspect that most readers will disagree. Certainly in my hospital summer has f lown past with little respite from the pressures of emergency admissions, which now seem to continue all year round. However the wide variety of different conditions presenting on the acute medical take helps maintain our sanity and keeps the grey cells ticking over. The three case reports in this edition highlight this variety. Tanuj Lad reminds us that type 2 respiratory failure does not always mean COPD, while Desai and Sivaramakrishnan present an important differential diagnosis for a patient with diarrhoea. Haemophagocytic syndrome might not be a common cause of fever and rash, but the importance of maintaining a broad differential diagnosis in patients with HIV should noted, even when the CD4 count is not particularly low. These cases also illustrate the excellent learning opportunities for junior doctors on the AMU. Although it is often hard to find the time to teach on our ward rounds, such opportunities must not be missed. Nicola Cooper’s article provides some useful advice on how to maximise these opportunities amidst the continued work pressures. Recognition of the patient whose condition is likely to deteriorate is an important aspect of patient safety on the AMU. Early warning scores have become part of our daily practice and the article by Perera and colleagues from the University of Colombo, Sri Lanka, gives an interesting new dimension to this issue. Their data suggest that addition of biochemical parameters into the score improves its sensitivity in predicting the patient’s deterioration, as well as length of stay. Albumin, C-reactive protein and platelet count were particularly valuable in this respect – given that all of these are measured in the majority of UK patients admitted during the medical ‘take’ these results are likely to be of interest to many readers. MEWS (soon to be NEWS when the NHS National score is finally agreed) will still be required as a repeatable, bedside track-and-trigger mechanism. However if these data are replicated in a UK population, perhaps an initial score incorporating these could become part of our assessment armoury. Finally, some readers will be aware that I will be taking over as President of the Society for Acute Medicine after this autumn’s International conference in London. This means and end to Phil Dyer’s impressive 2 year tenure in this role. He will be a hard act to follow, although the council will continue to benefit from his involvement as ‘Immediate Past President’ for the next 2 years. I am planning to continue in my role as editor of this journal during this period, which will maintain the relationship which SAM has enjoyed over the past decade. SAM members will continue to receive 4 editions of the journal per year; this autumn on-line access for the current and future editions will also be available to full SAM members.

Electronic mail makes it possible to exchange ideas and texts, and to seek answers to problems or to reference queries, immediately and easily. BITNET, a network for e-mail communication between academic bodies, originated in the USA in 1981 and now links 49 countries. Within BITNET, a mail distribution service, LISTSERV, facilitates specialised networking including ARLIS-L, a network for art librarians initiated by ARLIS/NA and hosted by the University of Kentucky. ARLIS-L was launched in 1990 and currently connects some 650 subscribers in 14 countries, not all of whom are members of ARLIS/NA. Anyone with a modem, a phone line, a personal computer and an e-mail address can access ARLIS-L; for those affiliated with academic institutions, access to e-mail networks is likely to be already catered for and free of charge. Existing subscribers are very enthusiastic about the ARLIS-L service. [A complementary network, VRA-L, is in place for those specifically interested in visual collections. Editor.]

Abstract Background Information on Lyme borreliosis (LB) in patients treated with rituximab is limited to individual case reports. Methods We reviewed data on adult patients diagnosed with typical erythema migrans (EM) at the LB outpatient clinic of the University Medical Center Ljubljana, Slovenia, in the 10-year period 2008–2017. For all patients, clinical and laboratory information was acquired prospectively using a standardized questionnaire. Results Among 4230 adult patients with a diagnosis of EM, 7 patients (0.17%), 5 women and 2 men with a median age of 65 years (range, 55–66 years), were receiving rituximab for an underlying medical condition. In these 7 patients, signs of disseminated LB (43%) and the isolation rates of borreliae from blood before antibiotic treatment (40%) were unusually high compared with corresponding findings in immunocompetent patients who had EM diagnosed at the same institution (8% vs <2%, respectively). The rates of LB-associated constitutional symptoms and borrelial antibodies in serum were lower than expected (14% and 29%, respectively, in patients receiving rituximab vs 25% and 65% in immunocompetent patients). One of the 7 patients (14%) experienced treatment failure; nevertheless, the outcome of early LB 1 year after antibiotic treatment, as used for immunocompetent patients with EM, was excellent in all 7 patients. Conclusions Findings in 7 patients with EM who were receiving rituximab for underlying disease suggest that although early LB in these patients is more often disseminated than in immunocompetent patients, the outcome 1 year after antibiotic treatment, as used for immunocompetent patients, is excellent.

Stated Purpose

The neonatology list server NICU-Net was created over a year ago at the University of Washington as an international forum for neonatologists and other neonatal health care providers. The stated purpose was discussion of neonatal issues such as: recently published trials and recommendations, proposed or ongoing multicenter trials, dilemmas in diagnosis, management and ethics, and the effects of health care reform on neonatology. Much like the forums of Rome, NICU-Net was intended to be a "place" of public assembly for discussion and debate. To allow access to the greatest number of potential users, it was set up as a mailing list server that allows anybody with Internet electronic mail (E-mail) access to participate.

The High Voltage Electron Microscope Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin has been in operation a little over one year. I would like to give a progress report about our experience with this new technique. The achievement of good resolution with thick specimens has been mainly exploited so far. A cold stage which will allow us to look at frozen specimens and a hydration stage are now being installed in our microscope. This will soon make it possible to study undehydrated specimens, a particularly exciting application of the high voltage microscope.Some of the problems studied at the Madison facility are: Structure of kinetoplast and flagella in trypanosomes (J. Paulin, U. of Georgia); growth cones of nerve fibers (R. Hannah, U. of Georgia Medical School); spiny dendrites in cerebellum of mouse (Scott and Guillery, Anatomy, U. of Wis.); spindle of baker's yeast (Joan Peterson, Madison) spindle of Haemanthus (A. Bajer, U. of Oregon, Eugene) chromosome structure (Hans Ris, U. of Wisconsin, Madison). Dr. Paulin and Dr. Hanna are reporting their work separately at this meeting and I shall therefore not discuss it here.
