    Notes: Background  Effective transition to adult services is required by an increasing number of children with ongoing needs.Aim  To identify practices that promote continuity at transition between child and adult services.Methods  Systematic examination of the evidence from two search strategies yielding 5319 items.Results  Only three of the 126 appraised items had strong external validity. A large range of different practices, which focused on the service, the young person and the family, were identified. Practices within the service addressed structural, process and outcome components.Conclusion  Four transition models are proposed for testing.

    Notes: Background Exposures to allergens are thought to be important risk factors for asthma. We conducted a longitudinal study of indoor allergen and fungal levels in Melbourne homes between 1996 and 1998 to examine the effect of changes in allergen exposure upon asthma and associated outcomes.Methods Participants were visited at home in 1996 (n=485) and 1998 (n=360), when dust and air samples were collected from their bedrooms and assayed for Der p 1, Fel d 1, ergosterol and fungal propagules. Subjects then attended the lung function laboratory to complete a questionnaire, spirometry, methacholine challenge and skin prick testing. The associations between the change in allergen levels and change in clinical outcomes were examined using multiple logistic and linear regression.Results Participants whose Cladosporium fungal exposure doubled had 52% greater odds of having had an attack of asthma in the last 12 months. A doubling of fungal exposure was also associated with 53% greater odds of developing atopy. A doubling of Fel d 1 floor levels was associated with 73% increased odds of doctor-diagnosed asthma. A doubling of Der p 1 levels in bed dust was associated with a 64% greater odds of persistent bronchial hyper-reactivity.Conclusions These findings provide evidence that changes in indoor levels of fungi and house dust mites can affect the risk of development and persistence of asthma and atopy in adults. Further studies are required to establish any benefit of sustained reductions in indoor allergen exposures, and to determine whether these effects are truly ‘allergic’ or because of immune stimulation in the airway through other less specific mechanisms.

    Notes: Background Allergen and fungal exposures are important risk factors for asthma. We conducted a longitudinal analysis of allergen levels in Melbourne homes between 1996 and 1998 to examine the effects of changing residential characteristics on allergen and fungal levels. We also examined the changes in levels of indoor allergens.Methods The subjects were participants in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) in Melbourne. In 1996, 485 subjects participated in a follow-up study, which involved both home and laboratory visits. Dust and air samples were collected from participants' bedrooms and a validated residential questionnaire was administered. In 1998, 360 participants underwent further follow-up. House dust mite (Der p 1) and cat allergens (Fel d 1) and ergosterol were measured in dust.Results We observed moderate within home correlations between 1996 and 1998 in floor Der p 1 (intraclass correlation ICC=0.48), bed Der p 1 (ICC=0.61), Fel d 1 (κ=0.53) and ergosterol (ICC=0.28) levels. We found that the floor Der p 1 levels decreased from 1996 to 1998 in the homes of participants who moved to an attached home, moved their bedrooms to the first floor, removed fitted carpet or central heating. Replacing or vacuuming the mattress more than twice per year reduced levels of Der p 1 in the bed. Ergosterol levels were reduced by removing visible mould and fitted carpet.Conclusions These findings provide evidence to support current advice with regard to allergen avoidance in patients with dust mite and fungal allergies.

    Notes: Background The influence of current levels of indoor fungi on asthma is a controversial issue that needs to be resolved in order to advise patients appropriately.Objective To assess the seasonal variation in indoor fungal levels and the impact of these levels on asthma among mould-sensitized individuals.Methods Thirty-five young adults with current asthma and sensitization to fungi were visited four times over 1 year. At each home visit a questionnaire was administered and samples of dust and air were collected. Participants also recorded information on symptoms, peak expiratory flows (PEF) and medication use. Dust samples were analysed for house dust mite allergen (Der p 1) and total fungal biomass (ergosterol). Total and genus-specific fungal propagules were identified in air samples. Seasonal variation in allergen levels and significant independent effects of fungal levels on peak flow variability (PFV) were identified by repeated measures analysis of variance.Results Significant seasonal variations were observed in viable airborne fungi, ergosterol levels in the floor dust and PFV. PFV correlated significantly with symptom scores and the dose of reliever medication. PFV was also significantly associated with smoking and visible mould. The association between visible mould and PFV was independent of season, smoking and the dose of reliever medication. However, there was no association between total fungi, specific fungi or ergosterol and PFV. Der p 1 levels had no significant influence on asthma, even in HDM-sensitized individuals.Conclusions Mouldy homes adversely influence asthma in asthmatics sensitized to fungi.

    the risks of malignancy from either immuno-suppression or diagnostic radiation in inflammatory bowel disease (1995)

    Details

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal malignancy. There has been concern that either diagnostic medical radiation and long-term drug therapy—particularly immunosuppression—might contribute to this increased cancer risk.For the major drug groups (5-aminosalicylates, steroids and immunosuppressants) data are scant but broadly reassuring. Only azathioprine (including 6-mercaptopurine) has been investigated at all carefully. Short- to medium-term therapy probably poses a very slightly increased risk of malignancy which is easily accepted given the current limitation of this agent to second-line use. Continuous therapy for more than two years is much less well documented, and caution should be maintained.A hypothetical model based on data from occupational radiation exposure has been constructed; this permits reasonable confidence that the medical use of ionising radiation contributes a negligibly increased risk of malignancy overall, and is particularly unlikely to add significantly to the incidence of gastrointestinal malignancy.

    Notes: Background : 5-Aminosalicylates remain important in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, but it is uncertain if the various preparations currently available are equivalent given the different delivery systems that exist. Generic prescription of mesalazine (mesalamine) is therefore inappropriate. Ipocol has recently become available as an alternative to Asacol-MR.Aim : To compare the two agents in a controlled trial using a non-inferiority design.Methods : Eighty-eight ulcerative colitis patients with a mild to moderate clinical relapse were randomized to one of the two drugs at a daily dose of 2.4 g for 8 weeks. Safety was the key concern; the primary measured end-point was efficacy as judged from a colitis activity index.Results : There were no unexpected adverse events of clinical consequence. The colitis score improved similarly in both patient groups (by 2.3 with Ipocol and by 1.5 with Asacol: not significant), and a similar proportion was in clinical remission at the end of the study (26.1% for Ipocol and 28.6% for Asacol: not significant). Systemic steroids were needed in 11.9% of the Asacol-treated patients compared with 6.5% with Ipocol (not significant).Conclusion : It appears appropriate to conclude that, while not identical to Asacol-MR, Ipocol offers a safe and similarly effective alternative.

    Notes: Background : The post-withdrawal characteristics of tegaserod treatment in patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation remain undefined.Aim : To evaluate the effects of continuous tegaserod treatment, versus intermittent or withdrawal of treatment in patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation.Methods : In a randomized, open-label trial, all patients initially received tegaserod 6 mg b.d. Responders were randomized to continue or withdraw from treatment for 8 weeks and symptom recurrence was assessed. Tegaserod was re-introduced in withdrawal patients who experienced symptom recurrence, allowing an assessment of intermittent treatment. Two separate analyses assessed the effects of intermittent and withdrawal of treatment on symptom recurrence.Results : Five hundred irritable bowel syndrome with constipation patients initially received tegaserod; 410 completed treatment. Time to symptom recurrence was shorter in withdrawal patients than those maintained on tegaserod. Significantly more patients maintained on tegaserod had not experienced symptom recurrence by week 8, compared with intermittent (86.5% vs. 58.1%, respectively) or withdrawal of treatment (69.2% vs. 11.3%, respectively) (P 〈 0.0001 for both). Significant treatment effects were observed for bloating (P 〈 0.01) and abdominal pain/discomfort (P 〈 0.02). Most adverse events were mild to moderate.Conclusions : Irritable bowel syndrome with constipation patients who receive continuous or intermittent tegaserod are less likely to experience symptom recurrence than patients withdrawn from treatment.
