Abstract:

Abstract Dr Dorothy Klenke Nash (1898-1976) became the first female neurosurgeon in the United States in 1928 and maintained her status as the country's only female neurosurgeon until 1960. She graduated with her medical degree from the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1927 and then trained at the Neurologic Institute of New York under Dr Byron Stookey. During her training, she contributed to the advancement of neurosurgical practice through academic research. In 1931, she married Charles B. Nash, and together they had 2 children, George (1932) and Dorothy Patricia (1937). Dr Nash became a senior surgeon at St. Margaret's Hospital in Pittsburgh in 1942. Shortly thereafter, she joined the inaugural University of Pittsburgh Department of Neurosurgery led by Dr Stuart N. Rowe and became an instructor of neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. In acknowledgment of her advocacy for public access to services for mental health and cerebral palsy, Dr Nash was recognized as a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania (1953) and honored by Mercy Hospital (1957), Bryn Mawr College (1960), and Columbia University (1968). She retired from neurosurgical practice in 1965, at which time she devoted herself to her grandchildren and her Catholic faith. She died on March 5, 1976 at the age of 77. With unwavering tenacity, Dr Nash paved the way for all women in neurosurgery.

Abstract:

Diagnostic pathologists remain uncomfortable with the diagnosis of Hirschsprung disease (HD) via rectal (mucosal/submucosal) biopsy and with performance and interpretation of the associated acetylcholinesterase (AChE) assay. This report details the different diagnostic approaches taken by four major pediatric institutions— Children's Hospital, Columbus, OH; Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH; Children's Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA; Children's Hospital, Los Angeles, CA—in confirming or excluding the presence of HD. The Columbus approach emphasizes serial morphologic examination of rectal biopsies, while Cincinnati emphasizes the primary diagnostic utility of the AChE stain. Pittsburgh and Los Angeles emphasize a detailed gross and microscopic analysis of rectal biopsies to detect both conventional HD and its more rare subtypes. The diagnostic approaches of these four institutions can be used on a complementary basis to the advantage of the general diagnostic pathologist, especially in HD cases with subtle clinical presentations. The need for careful and continual communication between the clinician and pathologist in diagnosing or excluding the presence of HD is imperative.

ISSN 0804–4643 Twin boys with hypopituitarism, hypoplasia of the anterior pituitary gland, ectopic posterior pituitary tissue and paracentric inversion of the short arm of chromosome 1 are described. The smooth appearance at the base of the median eminence and the absence of a pituitary stalk at autopsy in these boys implies that the hypopituitarism resulted from a developmental aberration. It remains to be determined if there is a causal relationship between the chromosome 1 anomaly and hypopituitarism.

Abstract:

Acute rheumatic fever is reported to have declined and perhaps be vanishing. Prompted by the occurrence of 17 cases of acute rheumatic fever in an 18-month period in 1985 and 1986, we reviewed the records of 243 children with acute rheumatic fever who were cared for at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh or Mercy Hospital between 1965 and 1986. Acute rheumatic fever was diagnosed using the modified Jones criteria and cases were classified by major criteria as arthritis, arthritis and carditis, carditis alone, carditis and chorea, chorea alone, and arthritis and chorea. Among the 17 recent patients, 59% had carditis, 30% had chorea, and 24% had arthritis alone. The proportion of children who had particular major manifestations was similar in the last two decades and in 1985 to 1986. The recent children with acute rheumatic fever ranged in age from 6 to 13 years with a mean and median age of 10 years. There were 16 white children and one Asian child. Only four children lived in an urban setting. When demographic features of the children were contrasted with those in the previous two decades, a decrease in the proportion of children who lived in urban areas and who were black was noted. Four children had a history of preceding sore throat but only three sought medical care; nine children had no memorable illness and four had either a nonrespiratory illness or a respiratory infection without sore throat. This resurgence of rheumatic fever serves as a reminder that a diligent approach to the diagnosis and therapy of streptococcal infections remains essential.

Kamat V, Hecht WL, Rubin RT. Influence of meal composition on the postprandial response of the pituitary–thyroid axis. Eur J Endocrinol 1995;133:75–9. ISSN 0804–4643 Ingestion of food can result in an acute decline of serum thyrotropin (TSH) concentrations, but it is not known whether meal composition and/or stomach distension are influential. Normal men and women were given a normocaloric or hypocaloric, isobulk meal at lunch and at dinner in a randomized design. The normocaloric, but not the isobulk, meal resulted in a significant decline in serum TSH at both lunch and dinner; thyroid hormones and cortisol were not affected significantly. These findings suggest that meal composition is influential in the acute postprandial decline of serum TSH in man. A possible mechanism is food-induced elevation of somatostatin and consequent suppression of TSH secretion.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Currently, carbapenems are the treatment of choice for invasive infection due to extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E). However, clinical data supporting this practice are generated largely from cases caused by ESBL-producing Escherichia coli. We aimed to describe the empiric treatments and clinical outcomes of patients infected with ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-Kp) at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA. Methods This retrospective study included all adult patients from inpatient admissions at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital who were diagnosed with ESBL-Kp infections. Carbapenem-resistant cases were excluded. Types of cultures included blood, respiratory, urine, and wound. Only one type of culture per patient was included. Demographic and clinical data were collected from the electronic medical records. The study was approved by the University of Pittsburgh IRB. Results One-hundred sixty-four patients had ESBL-Kp infection between September 2016 and August 2018. Excluded were those who were considered colonized by the organism and therefore not treated (n = 15); treated with non-carbapenems as definitive therapy (n = 29); or were discharged before final susceptibilities (n = 14). In total, 70 patients met inclusion criteria. Eighteen had bacteremia, 24 had pneumonia, 13 had UTI, and 12 had wound infections. Most common sources of bacteremia included catheter-associated, intra-abdominal infection, and pneumonia. Median age of patients was 62 years. Mean Charleston Comorbidity Index was 4.6. Empiric treatment was divided between three classes: BL-BLI (n = 27, 38.6%), cephalosporins (n = 21, 30%) and carbapenems (n = 18, 25.7%). Twelve patients (17.1%) died during hospitalization. Average hospital length-of-stay was 33.2 days. Conclusion Although infections with ESBL-Kp are relatively uncommon, patients have high mortality and prolonged hospitalizations. Treatment practices, including which infections are considered colonization vs. true infection, as well as choice of empirical therapy, vary widely at our institution. Data are still needed to assess mortality outcomes in patients treated empirically with carbapenems vs. non-carbapenems, particularly in high-inoculum infection sites such as pneumonia.
