Toward the end of Tesla s life, unflattering articles were written about him, and there were innuendoes that he was involved in the occult. Money problems were never far away, and he moved his residence from one hotel to another, each one cheaper than the one before. His circle of friends contracted. Feeding the pigeons that lived close to his hotel became very important to him, and he developed an almost spiritual bond with them. [Pg.1124]

However, already in an early clinical trial, rofecoxib was found to produce four times the number of myocardial infarctions than its comparator drug, naproxen. A subsequent trial of rofecoxib compared to placebo in colorectal cancer prevention demonstrated, after 18 months of study, that a greater number of myocardial infarctions occulted in the rofecoxib group. In 2004 the manufacturers of rofecoxib withdrew the diug from the market. A similar study of celecoxib compared to placebo in cancer prevention, showed that celecoxib also increased the risk of cardiovascular embolisms [3]. [Pg.406]

Psychotomimetic drags can be defined as chemical agents that reliably and dose-dependently induce a psychosis, often including hallucinations and delusions in normal individuals. Implicit in this term is a mimicking of naturally occulting psychosis. [Pg.1044]

DIARRHEA Diarrhea may be an indication of a super-infection of the gastrointestinal tract or pseudomembranous colitis. The nurse inspects all stools and notifies the primary health care provider if diarrhea occurs because it may be necessary to stop the drug. If diarrhea does occur and there appears to be blood and mucus in the stool, it is important to save a sample of the stool and test for occult blood using a test such as Hemoccult. If the stool tests positive for blood, the nurse saves the sample for possible further laboratory analysis. [Pg.72]

If there appears to be blood and mucus in die stool, die nurse saves a sample of the stool and tests for occult blood using a test such as Hemoccult. If the stool tests positive for blood, the sample is saved for possible laboratory testing for blood. [Pg.80]

Periodic platelet counts, hematocrit, and tests for occult blood in die stool should be performed throughout die entire course of heparin therapy. [Pg.426]

A complete blood count, platelets, and stools for occult blood may be ordered periodically throughout therapy. Thrombocytopenia may occur during heparin administration. A mild, transient thrombocytopenia may occur 2 to 3 days after heparin therapy is begun. This early development of thrombocytopenia tends to resolve itself despite continued tiierapy. The nurse reports a platelet count of less than 100,000 mm3 immediately because die primary care provider may choose to discontinue die heparin therapy. [Pg.426]

Their greatest utility has been In the definitive diagnosis of patients with medullary carcinoma of the thyroid gland (MTC) and, recently. In Identifying family members of these patients who have occult MTC. [Pg.51]

The excess gap represents the amount of HC03 that has been lost due to buffering unmeasured cations. The excess gap can be added back to the measured HC03 to determine what the patient s bicarbonate would be if these endogenous acids were not present. This is a very valuable tool that can be used in narrowing the differential diagnosis of certain acid-base disorders as well as in uncovering occult or mixed acid-base disorders. [Pg.424]
