In a double-blind placebo-controlled cross-over study, 30 patients with Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS) were included, of whom 25 finished the study. Melatonin 5 mg was administered during two weeks in a double-blind setting and two weeks in an open setting successively or interrupted by two weeks of placebo. The study's impact was assessed by measurements of the 24-h curves of endogenous melatonin production and rectal temperature (n=14), polysomnography (n=22), actigraphy (n=13), sleep log (n=22), and subjective sleep quality (n=25). Mean dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) (±SD), before treatment, occurred at 23.17 hours (±138 min). Melatonin was administered five hours before the individual DLMO. After treatment, the onset of the nocturnal melatonin profile was significantly advanced by approximately 1.5 hour. Body temperature trough did not advance significantly. During melatonin use, actigraphy showed a significant advance of sleep onset and polysomnography, a significant decreased sleep latency. Sleep architecture was not influenced. During melatonin treatment patients felt significantly more refreshed in the morning. These results show that analysis of DLMO of patients suffering from DSPS is important both for diagnosis and therapy. These results are discussed in terms of the biochemistry of the pineal. 相似文献

It has been observed that vital exhaustion, a state characterizedby unusual tiredness, increased irritability and feelings ofdemoralization not uncommonly precedes myocardial infarctionin apparently healthy individuals. This observation raised thequestion as to whether vital exhaustion is a marker of subclinicalcoronary disease. To answer that question the condition wasassessed in 105 male patients (mean age 54·8 year) beforeand 2 weeks after successful percutaneous transluminal coronaryangioplasty (PTCA) by the Maastricht questionnaire. Vital exhaustionwas found to be significantly correlated with the number ofdiseased vessels before PTCA and to decrease significantly afterPTCA. However, the association was rather modest (R2=0·08)and most patients remained exhausted after PTCA. During a follow-upperiod of 1·5 years, 32 patients (30%) experienced anew cardiac event (cardiac death, myocardial infarction, coronaryartery bypass grafting, repeat PTCA, a new coronary lesion orrecurrent angina with documented ischaemia). Univariate andmultivariate analyses showed that the number of diseased vessels,hypercholesterolaemia, and vital exhaustion were independentlyassociated with future events. The odds ratios were 3·74(P=0·02), 3·08 (P=0·08) and 3·07(P=0·04), respectively. It is concluded that the tirednesspreceding a cardiac event is only modestly associated with theextent of coronary artery disease and that a state of exhaustionafter PTCA increases the risk for a new cardiac event. 相似文献

The prevalence of skin and mucous membrane conditions occurring in 173 epileptics between the ages of 6 and 19 years was compared with that of an age-matched group of 211 non-epileptics. The most frequently used anticonvulants, singly or in combination, were carbamazepine in 54.9%, phenytoin in 47.8%, barbiturates in 36.6% and ethosuximide in 11.2% of epileptics. The most frequent combination was phenytoin and carbamazepine in 14% of the males and 18.4% of the females. An increased prevalence of acne was found in epileptic females; 80.3% compared to 30.2% in non-epileptic females. Hirsutism was found in 43.9% of the female epileptics compared to 7.5% of the non-epileptic females. Of interest was the finding of punctate and linear scars on the dorsum of the hands of 27.7% epileptics compared to 3.8% non-epileptics. Both ephilides and naevocellular naevi occurred in 12.7% of the epileptics compared to 29.4% and 52.1% respectively of the non-epileptics. Leukonychia was also found more frequently in epileptics than in non-epileptics; 52% and 28.9% respectively. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of transnasal butorphanol (TNB) compared to intravenous butorphanol (IVB) in 186 patients experiencing moderate to severe post-cesarean section pain. Patients were randomly assigned to five groups in a double-blind fashion: Group I (n = 37) received 2 mg IVB, Group II (n = 38) 2 mg TNB, Group III (n = 36) 1 mg TNB followed by a repeat dose of 1 mg TNB at 60 min, Group IV (n = 38) 0.5 mg TNB followed by a repeat dose of 0.5 mg at 60 min, and Group V (n = 37) received placebo. All administrations were double dummy. Pain intensity and relief were noted and the incidence of side effects was recorded. Remedication with the same study drug was allowed up to 72 h. Onset of analgesia was more rapid in the 2 mg IV group compared to the three TN groups: 5 min vs 15 min, respectively. However, the 2 mg and the 1-1 mg TN groups had a longer duration of analgesia, approximately 4.5 h, compared to 3.0 h for the 2 mg IV group (P less than 0.05). Somnolence was dose related and was the most frequent side effect, and was less frequent when the TN dose was divided into 2 doses administered 1 h apart. Multiple doses of TNB and IVB were safe and clinically acceptable up to 3 days at all doses studied. There were no incidences of nasal mucosa irritation, or cardiovascular or respiratory depression. It is concluded that transnasal butorphanol represents a safe and effective alternative to injectable butorphanol for post-cesarean section pain and offers a better and longer duration of analgesia compared to IV butorphanol. The optimum dose seems to be 2 mg TN butorphanol and it is tolerated better when divided into 1 mg increments, given 1 h apart. 相似文献

The part played by radiology in the detection of 16 cases of tracheal stenosis following tracheostomy is reviewed. The three basic types of stenosis are described and the contribution of radiology to their management is discussed. Antero-posterior and lateral film tomography is the suggested method of investigation of such cases. 相似文献
