Abstract

In three patients traumatic pulmonary pseudocysts were observed. In one the cause was a barotrauma due to hyperbaric oxygenation with positive end-expiratory pressure. In the other two an accident was the cause. Expectant management is always indicated because in most cases there is spontaneous regression, as long as there are no important complications. In ventilated patients mean and peak pressure values should be as low as possible.

Cholesterol reduction and non-illness mortality: meta-analysis of randomised clinical trials.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between cholesterol lowering interventions and risk of death from suicide, accident, or trauma (non-illness mortality). DESIGN: Meta-analysis of the non-illness mortality outcomes of large, randomised clinical trials of cholesterol lowering treatments. STUDIES REVIEWED: 19 out of 21 eligible trials that had data available on non-illness mortality. INTERVENTIONS REVIEWED: Dietary modification, drug treatment, or partial ileal bypass surgery for 1-10 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Deaths from suicides, accidents, and violence in treatment groups compared with control groups. RESULTS: Across all trials, the odds ratio of non-illness mortality in the treated groups, relative to control groups, was 1.18 (95% confidence interval 0.91 to 1.52; P=0.20). The odds ratios were 1.28 (0.94 to 1.74; P=0.12) for primary prevention trials and 1.00 (0.65 to 1.55; P=0.98) for secondary prevention trials. Randomised clinical trials using statins did not show a treatment related rise in non-illness mortality (0.84, 0.50 to 1.41; P=0.50), whereas a trend toward increased deaths from suicide and violence was observed in trials of dietary interventions and non-statin drugs (1.32, 0.98 to 1.77; P=0.06). No relation was found between the magnitude of cholesterol reduction and non-illness mortality (P=0.23). CONCLUSION: Currently available evidence does not indicate that non-illness mortality is increased significantly by cholesterol lowering treatments. A modest increase may occur with dietary interventions and non-statin drugs.

Suicide or accident - self-killing in medieval England: series of 198 cases from the Eyre records.

BACKGROUND: Little is known about suicide in England in the medieval period. Legal records provide the best source of post-mortem data about suicides. METHOD: Selected Eyre records from the reigns of Henry III (1216-1272), Edward I (1272-1307), Edward II (1307-1327) and Edward III (1327-1377) were translated and examined for details of self-killing. RESULTS: One hundred and ninety-eight cases of self-killing were found, eight of which were found to be accidental, non-felonious deaths. Self-killing was more common in men. Hanging was the most common and drowning the second most common method of self-killing in both males and females. Self-killing with sharp objects was predominantly a male method. Other methods of self-killing were rare. There were no reports of deliberate self-poisoning. There is some evidence of underreporting of, and attempts to conceal, self-killing from royal officers. CONCLUSIONS: Eyre records suggest that although some of the facts surrounding self-killing have changed, others have remained constant, particularly the higher proportion of men who kill themselves and the greater use by men than women of sharp instruments to kill themselves. We discuss the description and understanding of psychiatric states by medieval English Eyres, particularly in terms of the perception of the mental states that accompanied suicidal actions.

A case-crossover study of sleep and childhood injury.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between sleep and wakefulness duration and childhood unintentional injury. Study Design. Case-crossover study. METHODS: Two hundred ninety-two injured children who presented at the Children's Emergency Center of Udine, Italy, or their parents were interviewed after a structured questionnaire. Information was collected concerning sociodemographic variables, participant's habits, and injury characteristics, including a brief description of the accident dynamics. Sleep or wakefulness status of the child was assessed retrospectively for each of the 48 hours before injury. For each child, we compared the 24 hours immediately before the injury (hours 1-24; case period) with hours 25 to 48 (control period). Nonparametric tests were conducted to compare the difference of sleep duration between case and control periods. In addition, we conducted intrapersonal conditional logistic regression analyses and estimated relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS: Overall, more children had longer hours of sleep during the control period than during the case period. However, this difference was significant for boys only. A direct association between injury risk and sleeping <10 hours was found among boys (RR: 2.33; 95% CI: 1.07-5.09) but not among girls (RR: 1.00; 95% CI:.29-3.45). This association was particularly strong among boys attending nursery school. We also found a direct association between injury occurring between 4 PM and midnight, and being awake for at least 8 hours before injury occurred (both sexes, RR: 4.00; 95% CI: 1.13-14.17). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings show that inadequate sleep duration and lack of daytime naps are transient exposures that may increase the risk of injury among children. These results suggest new prospects for injury prevention in childhood. children, injury, sleep, case-crossover, epidemiology.
