Azithromycin prophylaxis during a hospitalwide outbreak of a pertussis-like illness.

A questionnaire regarding tolerability and adherence was administered for 5 days to hospital employees who received azithromycin prophylaxis during a hospitalwide outbreak of a pertussis-like illness. Analysis of the 239 responses from those having received prophylactic azithromycin determined that it was well tolerated and accounted for a minimal loss of days worked; 81.5% were fully adherent with the regimen.     

Development of an improved system for monitoring the peripheral circulation and its application. Part 1. Fundamental study

In order to assess tissue blood flow quantitatively under various temperature conditions, we have developed a new blood-flow measurement apparatus based on the thermal diffusion method. This new method is hardly affected by environmental temperature, by means of using the thermal clearance curve with its baseline corrected before each measurement. Fundamental studies concerning the measurement of human skin blood flow were carried out in the finger. The results obtained were as follows. 1) The gradient of the thermal clearance curve did not show significant changes under various temperature conditions. This result indicated that the effects of environmental temperature on the thermal clearance curve were almost removed. 2) A highly positive correlation was obtained between the thermal conductivity of various materials similar to human skin in thermal conductivity and the gradient of the thermal clearance curve from a probe placed on a plate of each material. 3) There was linear relationship between the water flow and the gradient of the thermal clearance curve in various water flows of a micro-circulation model. The gradient of the thermal clearance curve obtained for each water flow had good reproducibility. 4) The gradient of the thermal clearance curve changed in parallel with the finger ischemia and hyperemia induced by inflation of a tourniquet. There was good reproducibility in continuous measurements. 5) A highly significant positive correlation was obtained between finger blood flow measured by the inhaled hydrogen clearance method and the gradient of the thermal clearance curve, indicating that it was possible to assess finger blood flow quantitatively by the gradient of the thermal clearance curve. The weak point in the former thermal diffusion method, where the baseline was unstable as a result of environmental temperature, was removed. It was concluded that this new thermal diffusion method using the thermal clearance curve, which was calibrated previously by the hydrogen clearance method, enabled us to measure finger blood flow noninvasively at various temperatures. This method will be useful for diagnosis and research in various medical fields.

Evaluation of lambdacyhalothrin-impregnated bednets in a malaria endemic area of India. Part 1. Implementation and acceptability of the trial

In malaria endemic forested villages in Orissa State, India, a 3-year comparison of nylon nets treated with lambdacyhalothrin at 25 mg/m2, untreated nets, and no nets was carried out. Treated nets retained high insecticidal efficacy for more than 7 months. Nets washed after 3 months of use gave 98% kill in a bioassay with a 3-min exposure. Based on these bioassays during the first year, nets were later reimpregnated at 6-monthly intervals with participation of the users. Compliance with the use of nets was good. Eighty-eight percent of nets were usable even after 3 years. The main benefits perceived by treated net users were reductions in malaria, mosquito bites, head louse infestations, and other nuisance insects. The trial was well accepted by the community. Issues related to social marketing and promotion of nets are discussed.
