SOC. 2005 53 2 ; - summ in ENGL OBJECTIVES: To validate a chart-based method for identification of delirium and compare it with direct interviewer assessment using the Confusion Assessment Method CAM ; . DESIGN: Prospective validation study. SETTING: Teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Nine hundred nineteen older hospitalized patients. MEASUREMENTS: A chart-based instrument for identification of delirium was created and compared with the reference standard interviewer ratings, which used direct cognitive assessment to complete the CAM for delirium. Trained nurse chart abstractors were blinded to all interview data, including cognitive and CAM ratings. Factors influencing the correct identification of delirium in the chart were examined. RESULTS: Delirium was present in 115 12.5% ; patients according to the CAM. Sensitivity of the chart-based instrument was 74%, specificity was 83%, and likelihood ratio for a positive result was 4.4. Overall agreement between chart and interviewer ratings was 82%, kappa 0.41. By contrast, using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification, administrative codes, the sensitivity for delirium was 3%, and specificity was 99%. Independent factors associated with incorrect chart identification of delirium were dementia, severe illness, and high baseline delirium risk. With all three factors present, the chart instrument was three times more likely to identify patients incorrectly than with none of the factors present. CONCLUSION: A chart-based instrument for delirium, which should be useful for patient safety and quality-improvement programs in older persons, was validated. Because of potential misclassification, the chart-based instrument is not recommended for individual patient care or diagnostic purposes. 2005 by the American Geriatrics Society. 633.

SOC. 2005 53 2 ; - summ in ENGL Pain in older persons with cognitive impairment is often unrecognized and inadequately treated. A major problem associated with this undertreatment is the challenging nature of pain assessment and in particular the selection of accurate and useful assessment instruments. The purpose of this study was to review pain measurement instruments for acute and chronic pain suggested for use with cognitively impaired older persons and to summarize available evidence on their reliability and validity. A systematic search for pain instruments was conducted using several bibliographic databases, supplemented by a manual search of the bibliographies of retrieved articles and review chapters and by articles received from experts and clinicians in the field. Instruments were retained for review when the pain instrument was used or recommended for use with older persons with cognitive impairment. Thirty-nine instruments were reviewed; nine were excluded for various reasons. Of the remaining 30, 18 were self-report and 12 were staff administered. There were no instruments for which all major tests of reliability or validity were reported. Reliability and validity data were basic or unavailable for many instruments. One instrument had excellent validity but no reliability data. The remaining instruments had weak or adequate reliability and validity. The authors conclude that there is a need for further rigorous development and testing of pain instruments for use with cognitively impaired older persons. An adequate instrument would be one component of an effective program for assessment and management of pain in this population. 2005 by the American Geriatrics Society. 634.

Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein Parathyroid hormone-related protein PTHrP ; is not strictly a calcium-regulating hormone; however, it was identified in 1982 as an important PTH-like factor that plays a central role in the pathogenesis of humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy HHM ; .26 PTHrP is a 139-173 amino acid peptide originally isolated from human and animal tumors associated with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy. PTHrP shares 70% sequence homology with PTH in its first 13 amino acids. The N-terminal region of PTHrP amino acids 1-34 ; binds and stimulates PTH receptors in bone and kidney cells with affinity equal to that of PTH and results in PTHrP functioning similarly to PTH in patients with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.27 Two-site IRMA and N-terminal radioimmunoassays are available for the measurement of human PTHrP.28, 29 These assays are useful for measurement of biologically active PTHrP in the dog and cat because of the high degree of sequence homology in PTHrP between species.30 The assay is very specific for PTHrP, with no crossreactivity noted to PTH, or any PTH fragment. PTHrP is very susceptible to degradation by serum proteases, and must be measured in fresh or frozen EDTA plasma. EDTA complexes with plasma calcium which is required for function of many proteases. The addition of protease inhibitors may provide further inhibition of proteolysis in plasma.31 Serum is not recommended for measurement of PTHrP because of the proteolysis that occurs during clotting and sample handling. In a recent study, paired plasma and serum samples were analyzed for PTHrP in 35 dogs with HHM. There was a 50% false negative rate when using serum to measure PTHrP, most likely due to proteolysis of PTHrP in serum. PTHrP should be measured in all cases when a malignancy is suspected. However, a negative PTHrP result does not rule out the possibility of malignancy as tumors may secrete other factors that can result in hypercalcemia. Vitamin D Metabolites Metabolites of vitamin D are chemically identical in all species, thus radioimmunoassays developed for use in humans are satisfactory for the measurement in animals.32, 33 Calcidiol 25-hydroxyvitamin D ; concentration is a good indicator of vitamin D ingestion, and can be used to diagnose hypo- or hypervitaminosis D.25 Either serum or plasma EDTA or heparin ; can be used for measurement of calcidiol, but hemolysis should be avoided. Calcidiol is stable for up to 9 weeks when stored at 20C, and samples should be shipped on ice using an overnight courier. The assay has little crossreactivity with calciferol, and about 11% cross-reactivity with calcitriol. 25-OH-D3, 25-OH-D2, 24, OH ; 2-D3, 24, 25- OH ; 2-D2, 25, 26- OH ; 2-D3, and 25, 26- OH ; 2-D3 are completely measured with this assay. Thus, metabolites resulting from the ingestion of cholecalciferol present in rodenticides will be measured with the 25-hydroxyvitamin D assay.

In the case of vitamin D, the stimuli for ``secretion'' are the factors that activate the 1 -hydroxylase enzyme in kidney that converts 25-hydroxycholecalciferol to 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, thus increasing production of the active form of vitamin D.

Discount Calcigerol online Shepard reviewed three studies involving rats, mice, and rabbits in which the drug was administered during organogenesis and all reported negative teratogenic findings 2. Atazanavir: A new once daily PI in development that may not cause elevations in cholesterol and triglycerides. Atazanavir TAZ ; is a new protease inhibitor in phase III development that will be taken once daily 2 capsules ; along with other drugs in a HAART regimen. In a recent study, TAZ was compared to nelfinavir in 467 previously untreated patients. All patients also received d4T + 3TC with either PI. Both PI regimens appear to reduce viral load about the same. But the interesting development is that after 48 weeks, patients receiving TAZ had little or no increases in cholesterol, fasting LDL bad cholesterol ; , and fasting triglycerides. The patients receiving atazanavir had increases in cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol of 5-8% compared to increases for patients receiving nelfinavir of 25% for cholesterol, 23% for LDL cholesterol, and 50% for triglycerides. The most common side effect reported for the patients taking nelfinavir was diarrhea 56% ; . The rate of diarrhea was 15-20% in the atazanavir arm. Hyperbilirubinemia has been reported to occur with use of atazanavir. In this study it was reported as a serious adverse event in 1% of patients treated with the drug. TAZ also has activity against HIV with limited PI resistance. Preliminary data suggests that HIV with extensive PI resistance resistance to more than 3 PIs ; may not respond to TAZ. Preliminary studies suggest that TAZ has a synergistic relationship with saquinavir. At the recent ICAAC meeting in December in Chicago, a study was reported comparing TAZ + saquinavir to the double PI combination of 400mg ritonavir + 400mg saquinavir twice daily for patients with PI experience 88% of patients had prior PI experience ; . Saquinavir was also taken once per day at a dose of 1200 mg in combination with TAZ. Both regimens appeared to have equal effectiveness in reducing viral load in this study, although there was a slight edge to RTV SQV -1.50 log reduction vs -1.24 ; . But more patients taking ritonavir + saquinavir discontinued from the study. This was a small initial study and TAZ ought to be compared to other PI regimens used for patients with PI resistance such as Kaletra. In this study as well, TAZ showed favorable effects on triglycerides. Total cholesterol increased 10% from baseline to week 24 in the RTV SQV arm. Total cholesterol stayed about the same in the 400mg dosed arm of TAZ, which is the dose being used for studies. Fasting triglycerides increased 90% in RTV SQV arm n 8 ; and decreased 23% in TAZ arms n 28 ; . 31% of patients receiving the TAZ 400mg regimen had diarrhea and 43% receiving ritonavir saquinavir had diarrhea. 22% of patients receiving TAZ experienced abdominal pain. Jaundice 13% ; was reported in the patients receiving 400mg of TAZ. Jaundice resolved upon discontinuation of TAZ and was not accompanied by increases in liver enzymes.
