Mechanism of action of thiazolidinediones.

Type 2 diabetes is associated with multiple metabolic abnormalities including insulin resistance and the procoagulant state. Thiazolidenediones are an emerging class of insulin sensitizers which have the potential to mitigate many of the complications of diabetes. Mechanisms of action of the thiazolidenediones are discussed together with their possible pitfalls. Presently, evidence to clearly define the role of thiazolidenedionesfor the treatment of type 2 diabetes is lacking.

Acute retroviral disease masquerading as bacterial sepsis: the "bands" play on.

We describe a case of acute human immunodeficiency virus infection that initially appeared to be bacterial sepsis. A marked increase in band forms was seen in the peripheral blood of our patient, with no increase in atypical lymphocytes. Having reviewed the most recent literature, we find this to be common, particularly in the first few days of acute retroviral illness. We suggest that the absence of atypical lymphocytes in the peripheral blood can be misleading in some cases and may militate against the primary diagnosis of acute retroviral disease.

Attitudes and observations about nonverbal communication in the psychotherapeutic greeting situation.

A survey of 209 licensed, psychotherapists was conducted to investigate attitudes towards and observations of nonverbal communication in a reference situation. Background factors such as gender, years of psychotherapeutic experience, hours of therapy practiced each month, and theoretical approach were used to examine relationships. The psychotherapeutic greeting situation, i.e., the first time a therapist and patient meet in a waiting room, was chosen as the reference situation. Female psychotherapists believed that nonverbal communication was more important than male psychotherapists. Psychotherapists with 16 years or more experience supported items that constitute the greeting phase and items on active observation significantly more often than psychotherapists with less experience. Hours of psychotherapeutic practice and frames of reference were not significantly related to any item within the questionnaire. Belief in nonverbal communication was not significantly related to items that involve preparing to meet a patient for the first time.
