An employee took Asenlix®, a diet pill prescribed for him while he was visiting family in Mexico. He then tested positive for amphetamines, 93% d isomer. I was the Medical Review Officer (MRO) who reviewed the result and found that information about Asenlix was difficult to obtain. For example, thePhysician's Desk Referencedoes not list it. Apparently Asenlix contains clobenzorex, which can metabolize to amphetamine. How can an MRO find information on foreign drugs that contain or metabolize to amphetamines? |

摘要:
Three surface methods for measuring lumbar sagittal motion (LSM) were tested for validity using radiographs as the "gold standard" reference. The three methods used were the Pleurimeter V double inclinometer, the carpenter double inclinometer, and the computerized sensor single inclinometer. In this study, 30 volunteers were examined independently by three occupational health professionals. Each volunteer rotated twice through three stations at which LSM was measured by each of the three methods. Radiographs were made during the first rotation. Predictability of the skin marks of T12 and S1 for the corresponding bone measures was acceptable for one examiner, mixed for another, and unacceptable for a third. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) ranged from 0.81 to 0.99, with half above the acceptable level of 0.90. However, the skin marks and the bone measures showed a linear relationship for all examiners (r ≥0.89). For flexion and extension, all ICCs between the radiograph and each surface method were far below 0.90, indicating poor validity for each surface method. We concluded that skin placement of T12 and S1 has a linear relationship to bony landmarks, and that each of the tested surface methods does not validly measure LSM.

摘要:
Three surface methods for measuring lumbar sagittal motion (LSM) were tested for reliability. The three methods used were the Pleurimeter V double inclinometer, the carpenter double inclinometer, and the computerized single sensor inclinometer. In this study, 30 volunteers were examined independently by three occupational health professionals. Each volunteer rotated twice through three stations at which LSM was measured by each of the three methods. The intra- and interexaminer reliabilities in identifying the skin levels of T12 and S1 were acceptable, having intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) greater than or equal to 0.75. With a single exception, all ICC values for the intraexaminer reliability of LSM measurements fell below 0.90 (a clinically desirable level). The interexaminer reliability was poor, with all ICC values below 0.75. The largest source of measurement error was attributable to the examiner and its associated factors. We concluded that the intra- and interexaminer reliabilities varied greatly, limiting the clinical usefulness of the three surface methods.

摘要:
This is the first in a series of studies designed to assist directors of occupational health and safety services in defining, measuring, predicting, and integrating total health and safety costs into useful management information. This study was structured to review recent literature on health and safety costs and to categorize costs as either direct or indirect. This delineation should aid in defining total health and safety costs, delineating priority areas for interventions to reduce costs, and evaluating the effectiveness of health and safety programs. The significance of such efforts is underscored by the reported direct health care costs for the nation's work force of over $418 billion, and indirect costs, using the lower range of estimates for such costs, of over $837 billion. Reducing the total costs of over $1.256 trillion would have major impacts on corporate productivity and competitiveness, as well as on availability of health care programs for employees. Recommendations for follow-up activities to define costs and evaluate intervention programs are provided.
