Bubo masquerading as an incarcerated inguinal hernia.

A 44-year old, male, tattooed, leather jacket clad, Harley-Davidson motorcyclist arrived at the emergency room with a tender, irreducible mass, presenting at the external inguinal ring. In 1998, lung biopsy was read as miliary granuloma. No herniation was found on urgent preperitoneal exploration. Incision of the mass showed acid-fast bacilli. Culture later revealed Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare (MAI). A blood count showed CD4 lymphopenia; HIV was negative and remains so 2 years later.

The impact of health education on health status: an experimental program for elderly women in the community.

Until recently, little research has been conducted on the effect of health education and promotion programs on older adults. As the number of older adults increase and costs for health care skyrocket, educational efforts aimed at delaying the negative effects of chronic illness will become increasingly important. In this study, a pretest-posttest design was used with a 3-month follow-up assessment to determine whether participation in a teacher-directed or learner-paced health education program was related to changes in health-risk status, cholesterol levels, blood pressure readings, or life satisfaction. The program, sponsored by a community health department, enrolled 78 women with a mean age of 71 living in the suburban areas of a large metropolitan county. Women who were randomly assigned to one of the intervention groups were more likely to reduce their stress levels, decrease salt consumption, and decrease their systolic blood pressure.
