Abstract

Facilitated asthma-specialist care delivered by allergists was compared to generalist care on the rate of relapse of asthma emergency room (ER) visits and hospitalizations and on asthma control in a prospective, controlled study of San Diego Kaiser Health Plan members with asthma. Subjects with asthma between the ages of 6 and 59 years presenting for acute ER care for asthma were systematically assigned by alternating, consecutively, the day of their ER visit to receive either (1) facilitated referral to an asthma specialist within the allergy department and concomitant comprehensive ongoing asthma care (intervention group, n = 149) or (2) continued outpatient management from generalist physicians (control group, n = 160). The course of their asthma was evaluated blindly during the subsequent 6 months by review of medical records, initial and follow-up questionnaires, and spirometry. Compared to the control group, the intervention group noted (1) a 75% reduction in the number of, and percent of, subjects with asthma awakenings per night (p less than or equal to 0.0001), (2) an almost 50% reduction in asthma ER relapses (p = 0.017) resulting from a reduction in the frequency of multiple relapse (p = 0.005), and (3) a greater use of inhaled corticosteroids (p less than 0.00001) and cromolyn (p = 0.002). Thus, facilitated referral of subjects with asthma to specialists in asthma therapy after acute ER therapy appears to reduce asthma ER relapses and to improve asthma outcome.

Abstract

Background. Although regular follow-up is recommended for patients with asthma, the optimal frequency of such follow-up has not been defined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship of the interval between routine physician visits to asthma outcomes in patients with moderate persistent asthma. Methods. The study population was a volunteer sample of subjects aged 18 years or older with moderate persistent asthma requiring at least moderate doses of inhaled corticosteroids who were followed for at least 6 months by one of two allergists in a large staff model HMO. Subjects were randomized to one of three groups: 1) monthly physician visits, 2) semi-annual physician visits, and 3) semiannual physician visits and monthly nurse phone calls. All subjects were advised to call their physician for questions or increased symptoms. The primary outcome variable was total asthma quality of life measured at baseline, 6 months and 12 months. Other outcome variables included specific asthma quality of life domains, spirometry, global asthma rating, satisfaction with treatment rating, and asthma resource and medication utilization during the one year of follow-up. Results. The final cohort included 29 patients per group. There were no significant differences between groups in baseline demographics, smoking history, spirometry, asthma quality of life, global rating, or satisfaction with treatment rating. As per the protocol, patients in the monthly physician visit group made significantly more routine visits during the study than other patients (P

Abstract

Background: Penicillin skin testing has been limited by the lack of commercially available penicilloate and penilloate reagents. Objective: This project was proposed to produce a stable, well-characterized supply of penicilloate and penilloate for intrastate use by our health maintenance organization and to document clinical safety and efficacy. Methods: An improved method of extraction for penicilloate and penilloate, which changed the solvents used during recrystallization, was developed. With these newly prepared reagents, penicillin skin testing was performed on 348 subjects. Skin testing was immediately followed by an oral challenge of 250 mg of amoxicillin in 215 of 288 (75%) subjects displaying a negative response to a battery of penicillin skin tests. Results: Nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry of the newly produced penicilloate and penilloate showed no evidence of organic contamination. Penicillin skin testing resulted in 17.2% (60 of 348) positive test results, with 20% of the subjects with positive results only responding to the newly produced minor determinants. The rate of mild adverse reactions to penicillin skin testing was 1.1% (4 of 348). The rate of mild acute adverse reactions was 5.1% (11 of 215), and the delayed reaction rate was 0.9% (2 of 215) with the amoxicillin challenge. Conclusions: This improved penicillin minor determinant extraction method allows for the reproducible production of very pure preparations of penicilloate and penilloate. Large-scale penicillin skin testing, followed by amoxicillin challenge if results are negative is feasible in a large group model health maintenance organization operating within a single state with the use of internally produced penicilloate and penilloate and commercially available penicillin, amoxicillin, and penicilloyl polylysine.

8. Differential Stimulation of Precursor Cells and Carrier-Specific Thymus-Derived Cell Activity in the in vivo Response to Heterologous Erythrocytes in Mice

Abstract

We have found that sub-immunogenic doses of sheep red blood cells (SRBC) in vivo increase the plaque-forming cell (PFC) responses to trinitrophenyl and to SRBC when spleen cells are challenged in vitro using TNP-SRBC as antigen. By mixing irradiated spleen cells from low dose-primed mice with normal spleen cells, the enhancing activity is shown to be radiation resistant. Treatment with anti-BAϑ abolishes the activity. We therefore infer that it resides in a thymus-derived helper-cell population. While the enhancing activity is maximal for the carrier to which the mice were low dose primed, priming with SRBC gives a substantial enhancement of the response when burro RBC are used as carrier, but little enhancement when chicken RBC are used as carrier. There is little cross-reactivity between SRBC and burro RBC at the direct PFC level in this system, demonstrating that cross-reactivity at the T cell level need not parallel that at the B cell level.
