RESUMEN

Research on professional occupations has defined varying criteria that an occupation must meet to be considered a profession. Involvement by the members in their professional organization is a recurrent theme. A questionnaire consisting of Hall's Occupational Inventory, an involvement scale, and a demographic survey was used to determine the relationship among three factors of the Indiana Occupational Therapy Association members: (a) demographics, (b) professional attributes, and (c) involvement in a state occupational therapy organization. Determining these relationships is significant for understanding membership and involvement in a state occupational therapy association. Findings indicated significant differences in terms of hourly involvement in a state occupational therapy association between respondents with entry-level and post-professional degrees and respondents who were married and those who were not married.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Increased sympathetic activity perioperatively and associated cardiovascular effects play a central role in cardiovascular complications. High thoracic epidural blockade attenuates the sympathetic response, but even with complete pain relief, haemodynamic and endocrine responses are still present. Beta-adrenoceptor blockade is effective in situations with increased sympathetic activity. This study was designed to evaluate the perioperative haemodynamic effect of preoperative beta-blockade and its influence on the haemodynamic aspects of the surgical stress response. METHODS: Thirty-six otherwise healthy patients undergoing elective thoracotomy for lung resection were randomised double-blinded to receive either 100 mg metoprolol or placebo preoperatively. Anaesthesia was combined high thoracic epidural block and general anaesthesia. The epidural analgesia was continued during recovery. Patients were monitored with ECG, pulse oximetry, invasive haemodynamic monitoring, arterial blood gases and electrolytes. RESULTS: After induction of anaesthesia the mean arterial pressure (MAP) decreased in both groups, and decreased further in the placebo group after initiation of the epidural block. The heart rate (HR) was slightly less throughout the observation period after metoprolol. Peroperatively, the only difference in measured haemodynamics was a marginally higher MAP after metoprolol. Postoperative cardiac index (CI) was lower with a lower variability and cardiac filling pressures were slightly higher in the metoprolol group. The oxygen consumption index was higher after placebo throughout the observation period, with no difference in the oxygen delivery. CONCLUSION: We found that preoperative beta-blockade during combined general anaesthesia and high thoracic epidural blockade stabilised perioperative HR and CI and decreased total oxygen consumption.

RESUMEN

Using the perpendicular injection technique lean diabetic patients may often inject insulin intramuscularly (IM). Guided by ultrasound measurements of the subcutaneous (SC) thickness of the thigh, the aim of the present study was to re-evaluate the absorption kinetics of unmodified insulin from IM and SC injection sites and to evaluate the consequences of IM injection of unmodified insulin for blood glucose control in Type 1 diabetic patients. T50% values (time until 50% of the injected insulin is absorbed from the injection site) of SC injected, radioactively labelled, human unmodified insulin (125I-Actrapid) were 338 +/- 13 (+/- SE) min, 289 +/- 27 min, and 287 +/- 27 min during rest, light physical activity, and strenuous exercise, respectively. Intramuscularly injected unmodified insulin was absorbed faster, T50% 232 +/- 20 min, 113 +/- 13 min, and 112 +/- 5 min during the same levels of physical activity in the same order. When unmodified insulin (Actrapid) was given IM 30 min before breakfast, lunch, and dinner together with intermediate-acting insulin (Protaphane) SC at 2200 h, a more physiological profile of plasma free insulin and a more stable blood glucose profile was obtained than with SC administration into the thigh. The coefficient of variation of blood glucose concentration during the study (3 days each route) was lower with IM than with SC injection of unmodified insulin (33 +/- 4 vs 43 +/- 3%, p less than 0.01). No difference in frequency of hypoglycaemic attacks was found and patients claimed that IM injection was no more painful than SC injection. These data suggest that IM injection of soluble insulin into the thigh is beneficial.

RESUMEN

To evaluate the importance of accidental intramuscular injection of NPH insulin, we measured disappearance rates of 125I-labeled NPH insulin (Protaphane) from subcutaneous and intramuscular injection sites in the thighs of 11 insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients. Both subcutaneous and intramuscular absorption rates were measured four times in each patient. NPH insulin was absorbed much faster when given intramuscularly than when given subcutaneously (T50% = 5.3 vs. 10.3 h, P less than 0.0001). The intrapatient (day-to-day) coefficient of variation (C.V.) of T50% values (C.V. T50%) for subcutaneously injected NPH insulin in this study, where all injections were guided by ultrasound determination of the subcutaneous fat layer, was 18.4%. Intrapatient variation of absorption was significantly lower for subcutaneously than intramuscularly injected NPH insulin (C.V. T50% = 18.4 vs. 29.8%, P less than 0.01) and was also lower than interpatient variation for subcutaneously injected insulin (C.V. T50% = 18.4 vs. 50%, P less than 0.0001). The faster absorption rate and shorter duration of action, together with the higher day-to-day variation in absorption, led us to conclude that intramuscular injection of NPH insulin should be avoided.

RESUMEN

In an 8 month period 57 scans in 28 children have been performed using an EMI-CT 5005 General Purpose Scanner. Thirteen primary malignant tumours were evaluated, and scanning was of great value in localizing and delineating the lesion, and hence predicting the operability. Furthermore, secondary spread of malignant tumours was easily detected. In the continuing evaluation of treated malignant tumours CT has been used to estimate regression and relapse.
