List the diseases prescnbed for the payment of disablement benefit, if related to specific occupations. Conditions due to chemical agents, e.g. poisoning by any of a range of chemicals and certain carcinomas, and miscellaneous conditions, e.g. pneumoconiosis, asthma, diffuse mesothelioma, non-mfective dermatitis are included. 

Although the use of barbiturates and miscellaneous sedatives and hypnotics for sedation has largely been replaced by the antianxiety drugs (see Chap. 30), they occasionally may be used to provide sedation before certain types of procedures such as cardiac catheterization or the administration of a local or general anesthesia Sedative doses usually given during daytime hours, may be used to treat anxiety and apprehension. Fhtients with chronic disease may require sedation, not only to reduce anxiety, but also as an adjunct in the treatment of their disease...

A number of non-hormonal therapies have been studied for symptomatic management of vasomotor symptoms, including antidepressants [e.g., selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and venlafaxine], herbal products (e.g., soy, black cohosh, and dong quai), and a group of miscellaneous agents (e.g., gabapentin, clonidine, and megestrol). The choice of therapy depends on the patient s concomitant disease states, such as depression and hypertension, and the risk for potential adverse effects.

CME results from many ocular conditions but is not an independent disease entity. Retinal cell processes in Henle s layer run parallel to the surface of the internal limiting membrane, and the laxity of this layer fc>rms a potential reservoir for extravascular fluid resulting from breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier, which forms extracellular cystoid spaces in the perifoveal area. CME accompanies several retinal vascular diseases, including diabetic maculopathy central retinal venous occlusion, and branch venous occlusion. It may follow surgical procedures, most often cataract extraction and retinal detachment repair, or posterior inflammatory conditions, including pars planitis, chronic uveitis, and miscellaneous conditions such as retinitis pigmentosa. 

McMillan (M6) has recently reported the presence of increased amounts of spontaneous 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid in urine of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This author also measured 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid excretion in 3 cases of osteoarthritis, 18 cases of other orthopedic conditions, and 25 cases of miscellaneous diseases. 

Using the Bodansky (B18, 52) procedure with 8-glycerophosphate as substrate, Woodard (W8) was unable to obtain such elevations. She determined the serum acid phosphatase activities in 83 females and 342 males, or a total of 425 patients with miscellaneous diseases. Of these, 61 had various types of infectious or metabolic disorders, including 11 cases of inflammatory disease of bone and 12 cases of hepatic cirrhosis. The remainder had some type of neoplastic disease and about one-third had metastases to bone from cancer of various primary sites. There were 15 cases of osteogenic sarcoma and 32 cases of osteitis deformans. All these cases, whether their serum alkaline phosphatase activities were elevated or not, had serum acid phosphatase values that were essentially within the normal range, 0.06-0.89 Bodansky unit for females and 0.11-0.88 unit for males. In contrast to the Gutman method (GIO, G14), there-...

The report of these high incidences of elevations of acid phosphatase activity in miscellaneous disease and in nonprostatic neoplastic disease, determined by a method presumably more specific than the usual Gutman method (GIO, G14), is not in accord with earlier studies, such as those of Sullivan et al. (S30) shown in Table 10. The incidences of elevations were considerably lower than those reported by Reynolds et al.
