Management of nasal aspergillosis in a dog with a single, noninvasive intranasal infusion of clotrimazole.

An 11-year-old, spayed female keeshond was presented for unilateral epistaxis and serous nasal discharge of four weeks duration. Initial nasal radiographs, rhinoscopy, and histopathology suggested severe, destructive lymphoplasmacytic rhinitis. The patient deteriorated while receiving an anti-inflammatory dose of prednisone. A computed tomographic scan of the nose demonstrated a soft-tissue density in both the right nasal cavity and frontal sinus. Samples for histopathology obtained at surgery were diagnostic for nasal aspergillosis. All clinical signs resolved with a single, noninvasive infusion of intranasal clotrimazole and a four-week course of oral itraconazole.

Best practices for implementing outcomes management. More science, more art, worldwide.

Based on his own and other large-scale studies, the author explains that the current push to measure treatment outcomes and develop outcomes management programs is a worldwide phenomenon in behavioral healthcare. He presents a model showing outcomes measurement as the cornerstone of good clinical practice, from intake through diagnosis and treatment to outcomes management and clinical information systems.

Psychotherapy: from Freud to cognitive science.

A change in paradigm has occurred in psychotherapy. Dynamic psychotherapy has still not been shown to be better than placebo treatment or good clinical care. As harm can occur, patients should enter such therapy with caution. The cognitive behaviour therapies are newer and more efficient. They have been demonstrated to be better than placebo or good clinical care for anxiety and depression, and are of benefit in many less common disorders. Informative clinical trials are identified. Clinicians who treat patients with mental disorders should acquaint themselves with these techniques.

Renal function impairment in secondary lead smelter workers: correlations with zinc protoporphyrin and blood lead levels.

Potential kidney function decrement with long-term lead exposure is important in the overall assessment of adverse health effects of lead in industrial workers or other exposed groups. Two clinical field studies of secondary lead smelter workers have shown that a significant proportion of workers had slightly to moderately elevated BUN and creatinine levels; the prevalence was higher in those with longer lead exposure. Since a decrement of kidney function with age has been documented, and, since duration of lead exposure may also be strongly related to age, it was necessary to assess the age dependent renal function decrement in a control (non-lead-exposed) population. BUN and creatinine levels in the lead-exposed workers showed a much more significant correlation with age than that which was found in the non-exposed population; the correlations between the indicators of renal function, BUN and creatinine, and duration of lead exposure remained statistically significant after removing the age-dependent decrement derived from the control population. Moreover, a highly significant correlation between BUN and zinc protoporphyrin levels was found. The results indicate a sizeable and significant decrement in kidney function in the secondary lead smelter workers studied; this effect was found to be lead-induced, by removing its age-dependency.
