[Hemoglobin glycosylation in prolonged hyperglycemic episodes. Interpretation of results using mathematical modeling].

Using a mathematical model, the authors analyze the relationship between glycemia and glycated haemoglobin concentration (GHb). This relationship is more complex that it seems at first sight as GHb concentration in erythrocytes is the outcome of two processes: glucose binding to haemoglobin and continuous turnover of erythrocytes in blood. Old erythrocytes carry information on glycemia of longer duration than do the younger ones. The result is that hyperglycemias which occurred immediately before to GHb estimation have a greater effect on GHb concentration than those that occurred former. Due to the fact that behind a certain value of GHb different hyperglycemic periods can be hidden, the compensation of a patient with diabetes mellitus cannot be assessed only on the basis of GHb concentration. The assessment can only be made when using criteria which take into consideration glycemia, glycated plasmatic protein, and glycated haemoglobin values in a complex way.

Cognitive training in academically deficient ADDH boys receiving stimulant medication.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of a 16-week intensive cognitive training program in stimulant-treated, academically deficient ADDH boys. Cognitive training focused exclusively on academic skills and tasks, and included attack strategy training as well as self-monitoring and self-reinforcement of problem-solving behaviors and response accuracy. Control groups included remedial tutoring plus medication, and medication alone. Despite the scope of the program, the results provided no support for the notion that academically based cognitive training ameliorates the performance and achievement of academically deficient ADDH youngsters. Further, this intervention did not enhance self-esteem or attributional perceptions of academic functioning. There was poor agreement between teacher ratings of academic competence and test score changes. The lack of concordance between measures, and the scarcity of academically deficient ADDH children are discussed.

[Comparative clinical studies of the hemodynamic parameters by anesthesia combination with Nalbuphin (Nubain) and Fentanyl].

UNLABELLED: The narcotic agonist-antagonist nalbuphine is reported to act as a strong analgesic with only minor respiratory depressant side-effects. Even in the postoperative period, the pain-relieving properties of analgesic drugs are reported to continue if the respiratory side-effects are being antagonized by administering nalbuphine. It was the aim of this study to investigate the analgesic properties of nalbuphine as compared to those of fentanyl, in suppressing the hemodynamic responses due to endotracheal intubation and skin incision. Furthermore, we are interested in studying postoperative analgesia and respiratory depression after using the two drugs during anesthesia. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-one patients undergoing general surgical procedures were randomly assigned to two groups in a double-blind study. The patients were between 18 and 70 years old and belonged to ASA classes I-III. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cerebral vascular disorders, hepatic or renal failure, or those treated with monoamine oxidase inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants were excluded from the study, as were patients with a drug dependency. All patients were premedicated with 25-50 mg each promethazine and pethidine. Anesthesia was induced with either 60-70 mg nalbuphine or 0.3-0.35 mg fentanyl, 2 mg alcuronium, 0.01 mg/kg flunitrazepam, and 1-2 mg/kg thiopental. All patients were intubated following 1-2 mg/kg succinylcholine. Five minutes following intubation they received another 30-40 mg nalbuphine or 0.15-0.2 mg fentanyl intravenously. Anesthesia was maintained with N2O:O2 2:1, alcuronium, and either nalbuphine or fentanyl and enflurane up to 1 vol.% or halothane up to 0.5 vol.%. Blood pressure, pulse rate, and arterial blood gases were measured at certain intervals.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
