Hemodynamic analysis of septic shock in thermal injury: treatment with dopamine.

Eleven burn patients were studied while in septic shock and during dopamine infusion. There was only one survivor. The shock state in septic burn patients is hyperdynamic with a marked increase in cardiac index but a significant loss of systemic vascular resistance. Dopamine infusion in low doses stimulated the heart by increasing the cardiac index but caused further vasodilation and exerted little beneficial effect on blood pressure. High doses of dopamine increased the systemic vascular resistance and the blood pressure to levels which more adequately perfused the kidney. Dopamine infusion in high doses will improve the septic patient's hemodynamic status. This may permit surgical treatment of the septic process to remove the cause of the shock state.

The use of steroids in inhalation injury.

Steroids exert no beneficial effect upon acute pulmonary dysfunction created by nitrogen tetroxide inhalation and may worsen small airway obstruction in the early phases of injury. Treatment, therefore, is still largely symptomatic and supportive.

Functional limitations in women at midlife: the role of health conditions, behavioral and environmental factors.

This study examined risk factors for functional limitations in a community-based sample of 16,065 women from 5 ethnic groups, aged 40-55 years, enrolled in the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation. Almost 20% of this sample reported physical-functioning limitations. Functional limitations were associated with numerous disease conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack or angina, arthritis, osteoporosis, and cancer, and with several behavioral and environmental risk factors, including body mass index, difficulty paying for basics, and high levels of perceived stress. Consistent with findings in older women, this study shows that in addition to health conditions, potentially modifiable risk factors including high body mass index, difficulty paying for basics, and high levels of stress are associated with physical-functioning limitations of women at midlife.
