Hypnotic Treatment of Asthma

<h3>Background</h3> Chronic pain remains a significant problem for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) despite advances in the management of joint inflammation (1–3). Pain that persists in the absence of significant inflammatory disease activity is thought to arise from sensitisation of the central nervous system. Composite scores such as DAS28, combine both objective and subjective aspects of disease. This may overestimate inflammatory disease in patients in whom pain occurs independently and has implications for treatment. However, the proportions of patients with such discordance is not clear. <h3>Objectives</h3> 1. To assess the degree of discordance between objective and subjective components of the DAS28 score in patients attending rheumatology clinics in a teaching hospital in Cambridge. 2. To assess the association between such discordance and the DAS28-P measure <h3>Methods</h3> A retrospective review of clinic notes was conducted of patients attending the rheumatology department at Addenbrooke9s Hospital, Cambridge. Patients attending the early arthritis clinic, nurse practitioner follow up clinic and biologics clinic were included. Demographic information was collected including age, gender, current use of synthetic and biologic DMARDs. DAS28 scores and the individual components were retrieved and analysed. DAS28P was calculated as well as the difference between tender and swollen joint count (TJC-SJC) which has also been noted to be a measure of discordance between subjective and objective symptoms. <h3>Results</h3> 120 patients with RA were studied. The mean age was 59.4 years (range 27–86). 74% (89) were female. 88% (106) were on synthetic DMARDs: MTX 48% (58), HCQ 37% (45), SSZ 12% (15), LEF 3% (4), Gold 0.8% (1). 30% (36) were on biologic DMARDs: RTX 30% (11), ETA 30% (11), TOCI 17% (6), ADA 14% (5), ABA 6% (2). Mean DAS28 was 3.42, SD 1.39. Mean TJC 4, mean SJC 2. Mean PGA 43, SD 24. DAS28-P was calculated as per previous studies (3). Mean TJC-SJC was 2, median 1. PGA and TJC-SJC (r=0.33) and TJC-SJC and DAS28P were correlated (r=0.44). <h3>Conclusions</h3> Discordance between subjective and objective components of DAS scores is relatively frequent in patients with RA. This can lead to confounding of DAS scores. There is currently no formal system of assessing the degree of such discordance which can have implications for treatment of inflammatory disease as compared to pain management strategies. <h3>References</h3> Taylor, P. et al., 2010.

Progress in the management of hemorrhoids

Much progress has been made in the treatment of hemorrhoids during the past few years and, yet, there is still a surprising amount of confusion with reference to the subject among the medical profession. A review is made of the anatomy, physiology and pathological conditions of the anus and their effect on the genesis of the various types of hemorrhoids. Selection of the proper form of therapy is discussed. Simple, internal hemorrhoids are injected; frank double hemorrhoids are excised. A review of 1,056 consecutive rectal cases admitted to the Boston Dispensary and the Cambridge Hospital was made in order to ascertain the percentage having double hemorrhoids and therefore needing operation. Of the 1,056 patients, 615 or 58 per cent had hemorrhoids in one form or another. Of the 615 hemorrhoids, 161 were of the double variety. This is 26 per cent of the total number of hemorrhoids or 15 per cent of the total number of 1,056 patients with rectal complaints. It is concluded, therefore, that approximately 58 per cent of all patients with rectal complaints have hemorrhoids and that at least a quarter of the latter require operation. When a hemorrhoidectomy is indicated, the layman accepts it more readily when he can be assured that the dreaded postoperative pain, discomfort and disability of the past has been practically eliminated. The latter has been accomplished, not as the result of some new operation, but mainly as the result of using those advances made recently in proctology which are applicable to a hemorrhoidectomy. These are to be found both in the field of technic and in our newer knowledge of the anatomy of the anus. They include the posterior sphincterotomy, the use of an oil anesthesia, careful surgery with the main transfixing sutures above the area of sensation, prevention of postoperative complications and intelligent management of the first stool.
