The reproducibility of the treadmill walking test for claudication.

Two standard treadmill walking tests were carried out one week apart upon 117 patients with stable claudication. Although total walking time achieved was reproducible, there was a highly significant delay in the onset of pain during the second test. Absolute limb pressures, determined by Doppler, were reproducible for the group as a whole, although individual variation could be significant. A single walking test is an inadequate assessment of claudication.

Sex therapy: considerations in the selection of patients.

Sex therapy has proven helpful for many patients with sexual dysfunctions. In judging the appropriateness of this new treatment procedure the clinician should determine the following: that a sexual dysfunction exists, that a stable couple relationship exists, that there are no major marital, psychiatric or physical problems that are etiologically important or that would interfere with treatment, and that both partners are willing to engage in a treatment program.

Immunosuppression is not required for reactivation of latent murine cytomegalovirus.

We have shown, for the first time, that TNF induces expression of MCMV IE RNA in the lungs of latently infected mice in the absence of immunosuppression. These initial data suggest that TNF may play an important role in the reactivation of latent MCMV, in the absence of immunosuppression, and provide a provocative insight into the mechanisms of CMV reactivation. Studies are in progress to determine whether genes associated with later stages of the viral life cycle are induced by TNF and whether infectious virus is produced.
