13. The epidemiology of medication errors: the methodological difficulties
Medication errors should be amenable to epidemiological analysis, giving insights into the causes of error and the effects of interventions to prevent them or reduce harm from them.There are formidable difficulties in establishing the rates of medication errors.There is no agreement on a clear operational definition of the condition.The methods used to enume

14. Clinical review: Immunodepression in the surgical patient and increased susceptibility to infection
Several studies indicate that organ failure is the leading cause of death in surgical patients. An excessive inflammatory response followed by a dramatic paralysis of cell-mediated immunity following major surgery appears to be responsible for the increased susceptibility to subsequent sepsis. In view of this, most of the scientific and medical research has

15. The gastrointestinal tract. The "undrained abscess" of multiple organ failure.
OBJECTIVE: This study determined the association between proximal gastrointestinal (GI) colonization and the development of intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired infection and multiple organ failure (MOF) in a population of critically ill surgical patients. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: ICU-acquired infection in association with progressive organ system dysfunction

16. Molecular characterization of a Campylobacter jejuni 29-kilodalton periplasmic binding protein.
Campylobacter jejuni, a gram-negative, microaerophilic, spiral bacterium, is a common cause of human gastrointestinal disease. Although investigators commonly use C. jejuni glycine-hydrochloride extracts in assays to determine the products that promote the binding of the organism to eukaryotic cells, the proteins contained within these extracts remain ill de

17. Cultural and economic determinants of geographical mortality patterns in The Netherlands.
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The geographical pattern of mortality in The Netherlands is dominated by an area of relatively high mortality in the southern part of the country. The aim was to analyse the background of this geographical mortality pattern in the early 1980s, and its evolution over time since the early 1950s. DESIGN--Mortality data by district (n = 39), cau

18. Morbidity follow up study of BASF employees exposed to 2,3,7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) after a 1953 chemical reactor incident.
OBJECTIVE--The aim was to examine the long term morbidity experience of men exposed to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). METHODS--A retrospective cohort morbidity study of 158 men first exposed to TCDD between 17 November 1953 and 16 November 1954 subdivided by chloracne state and back calculated TCDD blood lipid concentration, and 161 referents.

19. Use of Lambda Phage DNA as a Hybrid Internal Control in a PCR-Enzyme Immunoassay To Detect Chlamydia pneumoniae
An inherent problem in the diagnostic PCR assay is the presence of ill-defined inhibitors of amplification which may cause false-negative results. Addition of an amplifiable fragment of foreign DNA in the PCR to serve as a hybrid internal control (HIC) would allow for a simple way to identify specimens containing inhibitors. Two oligonucleotide hybrid primer
