摘要:

The dapsone‐pyrimethamine combination (100 mg of dapsone, 12.5 mg of pyrimethamine [Folaprim; Maloprim, one tablet a week) is considered to provide adequate prophylaxis forPlasmodium falciparummalaria, but to be inadequate for the prevention of P. vivax malaria. Field trials and case reports, however, have shown the comparable efficacy of this combination in the suppression of parasitaemias caused by both parasites. In Lae, Papua New Guinea, 12 patients with clinical signs of malaria had serum concentrations of dapsone‐pyrimethamine which were consistent with appropriate weekly use of this combination. The fact that 10 of these patients hadP. vivax malaria supports the hitherto unsubstantiated view that dapsone‐pyrimethamine can be ineffective in suppressing parasitaemias caused by this parasite. In the two patients withP.falciparummalaria, host factors rather than parasite resistance to dapsone‐pyrimethamine were implicated in the development of the parasitaemias.

摘要:

A number of demographic, psychological, medical, immunological and haematological indices, as well as sexual practices and partner numbers, were investigated in 97 homosexual men in Adelaide. A comparison of blood donors with non‐donors among these men showed that the donors were younger, spent more time in the homosexual subculture, maintained a stable blood‐donation pattern, and were significantly less likely to have had a sexually transmitted disease. Donors contacted their sexual partners in non‐anonymous settings more frequently than did non‐donors.

摘要:

A six‐month survey of the urinary concentrations of drugs and alcohol of 176 patients within one hour of their admission to the acute psychiatric wards of the Macquarie Hospital, Sydney, is reported. Non‐prescribed drugs were detected in the urine specimens of 29.5% of patients and alcohol in the urine specimens of 13.6% of patients. The survey demonstrated inconsistencies between patients' reports of their recent drug or alcohol intake and the laboratory findings, and inadequacies in the information recorded and relayed to the laboratory at the time of patients' admission to the hospital.

摘要:

The effect of a strictly maintained treatment protocol on the incidence of bacteraemia associated with peripheral intravenous catheters was studied in a coronary care unit. This protocol was supervised and carried out by nursing staff members. Before the introduction of the protocol in October 1981,Staphylococcus aureusbacteraemia associated with peripheral intravenous catheters had developed in five patients and led to the deaths of four of these patients. During this time, 2364 patients were admitted to the unit. Since October 1981, there have been no further episodes of systemic sepsis associated with peripheral intravenous catheters in 2279 patients admitted to the unit (P=0.03; Fisher's exact test).
