    Notes: Abstract We report a case of coeliac axis thrombosis and splenic infarction presenting in a girl of 14 years who had been on the oral contraceptive pill (OCP), Marvelon (ethinyloestradiol 30 μg plus desogestrel 150 μg, Organon, Cambridge, UK), for 3 weeks. She had no other risk factors for thrombo-embolism. Diagnosis was made with duplex Doppler ultrasound and confirmed with dynamically-enhanced comput‐ed tomography and magnetic resonance angiography, thus avoiding the need for percutaneous arteriography. Though mesenteric thrombo-embolic disease is recognised in association with use of the combined OCP, it has not previously been reported to affect the coeliac axis. Paediatricians and surgeons should be aware of the risks to young girls on the OCP, and consider it in their differential diagnosis of the acute abdomen.

    Development of a Shortened Version of the Breathing Problems Questionnaire Suitable for Use in a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Clinic: A Purpose-Specific, Disease-Specific Questionnaire (1998)

    Notes: Abstract One hundred and thirty-eight chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients completed the Breathing Problems Questionnaire (BPQ) before and after a comprehensive programme of rehabilitation. Examination of the changes on individual items showed improvement on 22 items, of which four items were significant at p 〈 0.05 and deterioration on nine items, of which two were significant at p 〈 0.01. All deteriorating items were consistent with lifestyle adaptations encouraged as part of the rehabilitation programme. We examined the psychometric properties of a reduced ten item version of the BPQ limited to the items most sensitive to change. We recommend the purpose-specific, disease-specific COPD scale for measuring change in pulmonary rehabilitation assessment in contrast to the longer 33 item questionnaire, which, however, may be more useful for cross-sectional assessment.
