In spite of a slow and insidious slide into economic chaos and healthcare depravity, many healthcare workers in Zimbabwe Africa heroically struggle against the ravages of HIV AIDS. Zimbabwe's average lifespan of 39 years is among the shortest of any country. Until recently, the countrywide incidence of HIV positivity was 25%, that is over 2.5 million of a total population of 12 million. One hundred babies become HIV positive each day and the number of orphans has risen to one million. Sixty to seventy percent of deaths under five years of age are due to HIV AIDS. Against this rather bleak background Direct Relief partners such as The JF Kapneck Trust are struggling mightily in a situation where many colleague organizations are leaving the country. We, at Direct Relief, feel just the opposite and have been thanked and acknowledged by the Zimbabwean Government for looking to increase our presence as the situation worsens. Whether it be aid to outreach programs providing palliative care to the dying, or equipping a surgical suite to provide Caesarian births to prevent the maternal to child transmission of the virus, Direct Relief is partnering with many organizations in this country to stem the tide of this ongoing humanitarian disaster.

IL-13.K105R AND IL-13.R109K: THE FIRST SUPERAGONISTS OF A GLIOMA-RESTRICTED RECEPTOR FOR INTERLEUKIN 13 IL-13 ; A.B. Madhankumar, Akiva Mintz, and Waldemar Debinski; Department of Neurosurgery, Pennsylvania State College of Medicine, Hershey, Pennsylvania, USA Our laboratory demonstrated that alpha-helix D in human interleukin 13 IL-13 ; is the site II of the cytokine that binds a monomeric IL-13 receptor alpha-2, a nonsignaling glioma-restricted receptor for IL-13. Site II in IL-13 is composed of residues 105, 106, and 109, among which 105 is a new receptor binding hot spot identified in the cytokine moiety. We have made several new substitutions at these three specific sites in IL-13 to further study their role in the binding to IL-13R-alpha-2. Recombinant proteins were made and combivir.

Review: This small study evaluated the factors associated with attitudes toward pregnancy among girls presenting to an adolescent health clinic, to better predict which girls are at the highest risk of pregnancy. Most efforts to prevent or delay adolescent pregnancy have been directed at providing birth control, but this intervention is likely to fail if teens are not interested in preventing pregnancy. The best predictor of an adolescent girl's attitude toward pregnancy is her perception of her boyfriend's desire for a baby. These researchers suggest that primary care providers should include boyfriends in any efforts to delay pregnancy in at-risk adolescent girls. Teenagers who are ambivalent about whether they want to be pregnant do not differ significantly from those desiring and lamivudine. Approved indications and benefits of the drug.

The new atypical antipsychotic quetiapine was approved by the Food and Drug administration FDA ; in early 2004 as a monotherapy, and as an adjunct therapy with lithium or divalproex Depakote ; , for treatment of acute short-term ; manic episodes associated with bipolar I disorder. Several open-label, nonrandomized studies in the last several years that used quetiapine as an adjunct in the acute and prophylactic preventive ; treatment of bipolar disorder episodes have found significant effects of quetiapine in both manic and depressive phases see margins ; . We review the antidepressant effects of quetiapine in this issue of the BNN for several reasons. A recent study presented by Dr. J. Calabrese Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland ; at the 2004 American Psychiatric Association APA ; meeting showed remarkable degrees of antidepressant efficacy of quetiapine in bipolar depression. As we and others have noted, depression is the mood state that contributes the predominant amount of breakthrough symptomatology in outpatients treated in a naturalistic fashion; three times more time depressed than time manic is typically observed Post et al., 2003, J Clin Psychiatry 64 [6]: 680690; Judd et al., 2002, Arch Gen Psychiatry 59 [6]: 530537 ; . antidepressants TCAs ; , and monoamine oxidase inhibitors MAOIs ; , carry some risk when used in bipolar illness for associated episode switches into hypomania or mania or increasing the rapidity of cycling. A related problem in bipolar illness is that all of the major mood stabilizers, with the exception of lamotrigine Lamictal ; , appear to be more effective in mania than in depression; thus, new approaches to bipolar depression are clearly needed. A significant question in bipolar disorder research has been to what extent the atypical antipsychotics such as quetiapine, risperidone [Risperdal], olanzapine [Zyprexa], and others ; will help fill this void. All of the recent atypical antipsychotics have now been shown in at least two or more controlled clinical trials to be effective antimanic agents although clozapine [Clozaril] is supported only by an extensive non-controlled trial literature ; . Less apparent is to what extent the atypical antipsychotics will, as a class, possess antidepressant effects. Promising data have emerged for olanzapine, which in a large study of more than 800 patients with bipolar depression, showed small but significantly better antidepressant effects than placebo in monotherapy. However, more marked effects were observed in this study in a smaller number of patients when olanzapine was used together with the antidepressant fluoxetine Prozac ; Tohen et al., 2003; Arch Gen Psychiatry 60 [11]: 10791088 ; . This study led to the subsequent approval by the FDA of the olanzapine-fluoxetine combination under the brand name Symbyax. In a naturalistic study presented by Dr. Paul Keck at the 2001 APA meeting, the Stanley Foundation Bipolar Network now renamed the Bipolar Collaborative Network ; found that quetiapine exerted significant improvement in clinical ratings of bipolar depression in the first month, and improvement continued in the next two months thereafter. Parallel trials of the atypical antipsychotics risperidone and clozapine did not show this same degree of improvement in bipolar depression. This initial promising set of adjunctive, open-label, retrospective observations led the pharmaceutical industry to conduct a carefully controlled, 8-week, double-blind study of quetiapine 300mg day and 600mg day ; compared with placebo in 539 patients with bipolar depression 358 bipolar I, 181 bipolar II; Calabrese et al., 2004, APA meeting ; . Surprisingly, quetiapine monotherapy exerted antidepressant effects of equal or greater magnitude to that of the olanzapine-fluoxetine combination. Quetiapine showed highly statistically significant p .001 ; improvement in depression, anxiety, and sleep compared with placebo by the first week of treatment. Both doses of quetiapine showed virtually identical degrees of antidepressant efficacy, suggesting that an optimal dose might be 300mg or lower and that going beyond 300mg day contributed little extra to the rate of clinical improvement. Although it is not clear what mechanisms contributed to this dramatic antidepressant effect of quetiapine monotherapy in bipolar depression, it is noteworthy that all atypical antipsychotics exert effects on other neurotransmitter systems thought to be involved in depression, including blockade of serotonin 5HT ; 2 receptors. In addition, Dr. H. Original Radius Elliptical Shape ; w12x. A summary of the results obtained with SVR is reported in Table 3. Only data with at least 50 patients treated with SVR published in peer journals have been considered. The data, although incomplete, show a uniform increase in EF and a significant reduction in end systolic volume index. Operative mortality varies from 2.8 to 11% likely reflecting largely different patient population, different definition of aneurysm, different operative techniques and different eras. Five-year survival, when reported, is high range 6895% ; in this high risk population with pre-op EF ranging between 25 and 35%. In conclusion, SVR is a ventricular reconstruction strategy for patients with heart failure that applies not only to the classic aneurysm but also to dilated cardiomyopathy without demarcation neck ; and to akinetic myocardium w19, 20x. The procedure has proven to be safe and effective in the treatment of ischemic cardiomyopathy following myocardial infarction. The results from different centers are rather uniform in terms of pump function and survival improvement. Operative mortality rate is significantly higher when mitral repair is associated to CABG and SVR. Recently, Hernandez reported at the American Heart Association the outcome of 538 patients who underwent the procedure between 2002 and 2003 at 118 of the 600 hospitals that participated in the STS national database. The 30 days mortality was 9.3% in this cohort. Procedural mortality rates by volume showed that those centers performing less than 5 procedures had a rate of 12.5%, compared with 7.3% in centers performing 10 or more. Since all the reported data are observational we need to wait for the end of the multicenter randomized STICH trial Surgical Treatment for Ischemic Heart Failure ; that will definitely assess if adding ventricular restoration to CABG will give benefit in terms of survival free of hospitalization. 8, because clozafil dosing.
