To our knowledge, acute spinal cord injury is the only widely accepted indication for the administration of high-dose corticosteroids after acute injury in particular and acute critical illness in general. The second and third National Acute Spinal Cord Injury Studies [11, 12] NASCIS-2 and -3 ; reported a significantly better neurologic outcome for patients treated with methylprednisolone MPS ; within 8 hours of the injury 30 mg kg bolus followed by 5.4 mg kg hr for 23 hrs or 48 hrs if started more than 3 hrs after the injury ; . Although the design and interpretation of the NASCIS studies have been questioned [13], the NASCIS-protocol is widely applied, not in the least because of the devastating nature of this trauma. The effect of MPS on platelet counts was not studied by the NASCIS investigators. In the current study we investigated patients with spinal cord injury who received MPS according to NASCIS guidelines. Patients with vertebral fractures and otherwise comparable injuries, but without spinal cord injury were used as controls. The aim of the study was to assess if high-dose corticosteroids inhibit early platelet sequestration.

Who is the village health worker? A village health worker is a person who helps lead family and neighbors toward better health. Often he or she has been selected by the other villagers as someone who is especially able and kind. Some village health workers receive training and help from an organized program, perhaps the Ministry of Health. Others have no official position, but are simply members of the community whom people respect as healers or leaders in matters of health. Often they learn by watching, helping, and studying on their own. In the larger sense, a village health worker is anyone who takes part in making his or her village a healthier place to live. This means almost everyone can and should be a health worker: Mothers and fathers can show their children how to keep clean; Farm people can work together to help their land produce more food; Teachers can teach schoolchildren how to prevent and treat many common sicknesses and injuries; Schoolchildren can share what they learn with their parents; Shopkeepers can find out about the correct use of medicines they sell and give sensible advice and warning to buyers see p. 338 Midwives can counsel parents about the importance of eating well during pregnancy, breast feeding, and family planning. This book was written for the health worker in the larger sense. It is for anyone who wants to know and do more for his own, his family's or his people's well-being. If you are a community health worker, an auxiliary nurse, or even a doctor, remember: this book is not just for you. It is for all the people. Share it.

Treatment Not all children with diagnosis of acute ITP need hospitalization. Hospitalization is indicated if: Severe life-threatening bleeding e.g. ICH ; regardless of platelet count Platelet count 20, 000 with evidence of bleeding Platelet count 20, 000 without bleeding but inaccessible to health care Parents request for admission Most of childhood ITP remit spontaneously with 70% achieves platelet count 50, 000 by the end of 3rd week. Careful observation and monitoring platelet count without specific treatment is appropriate for patients with: Platelet count 20, 000 without bleeding Platelet count 30, 000 with only cutaneous purpura Treatment is indicated if there is: Life threatening bleeding episode e.g. ICH ; regardless of platelet count Platelet count 20, 000 with mucosal bleeding Platelet count 10, 000 with any bleeding Choice of treatment include: 1. Oral prednisolone 4 mg kg day for 7 days, then taper and discontinue at 21 days 2. IV Methylprednisolone 30 mg kg day for 3 days 3. IV Immunoglobulin 0.8 g kg dose for 1 day or 250 mg kg for 2 days. 4. IV Anti-Rh D ; immunoglobulin 50 75 microgram kg ; in Rhesus positive patients may cause haemolytic anaemia. All are effective in raising platelet count much quicker compared to no treatment with IVIg the quickest. However no direct evidence indicates that any of these treatments reduce bleeding complications or mortality from ITP. No influence on progression to chronic ITP. List compiled by Dr. Eric Voth, Fellow of the American College of Physicians Legalization advocates would have the public and policy makers incorrectly believe that crude marijuana is the only treatment alternative for masses of cancer sufferers who are going untreated for the nausea associated with chemotherapy, and for all those who suffer from glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, and other ailments. Numerous effective medications are, however, currently available for these conditions. There has been a recent study by the Institutes of Health to compare Metoclopramide with Marijuana to control vomiting and have found the former to 4 to times better than marijuana. Below is a list of the medications currently available for chemotherapy, and for all those who suffer from glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, and other ailments.

Procedure It is recommended that the anatomy of the joint involved be reviewed before attempting intra-articular injection. In order to obtain the full anti-inflammatory effect it is important that the injection be made into the synovial space. Employing the same sterile technique as for a lumbar puncture, a sterile 20 to 24 gauge needle on a dry syringe ; is quickly inserted into the synovial cavity. Procaine infiltration is elective. The aspiration of only a few drops of joint fluid proves the joint space has been entered by the needle. The injection site for each joint is determined by that location where the synovial cavity is most superficial and most free of large vessels and nerves. With the needle in place, the aspirating syringe is removed and replaced by a second syringe containing the desired amount of methylprednisolone acetate injectable suspension, USP. The plunger is then pulled outward slightly to aspirate synovial fluid and to make sure the needle is still in the synovial space. After injection, the joint is moved gently a few times to aid mixing of the synovial fluid and the suspension. The site is covered with a small sterile dressing. Suitable sites for intra-articular injection are the knee, ankle, wrist, elbow, shoulder, phalangeal, and hip joints. Since difficulty is not infrequently encountered in entering the hip joint, precautions should be taken to avoid any large blood vessels in the area. Joints not suitable for injection are those that are anatomically inaccessible such as the spinal joints and those like the sacroiliac joints that are devoid of synovial space. Treatment failures are most frequently the result of failure to enter the joint space. Little or no benefit follows injection into surrounding tissue. If failures occur when injections into the synovial spaces are certain, as determined by aspiration of fluid, repeated injections are usually futile. Local therapy does not alter the underlying disease process, and whenever possible comprehensive therapy including physiotherapy and orthopedic correction should be employed. Following intra-articular steroid therapy, care should be taken to avoid overuse of joints in which symptomatic benefit has been obtained. Negligence in this matter may permit an increase in joint deterioration that will more than offset the beneficial effects of the steroid. Unstable joints should not be injected. Repeated intra-articular injection may in some cases result in instability of the joint. X-ray follow-up is suggested in selected cases to detect deterioration. If local anesthetic is used prior to injection of methylprednisolone acetate injectable suspension, USP, the anesthetic package insert should be read carefully and all the precautions observed. 2. Bursitis The area around the injection site is prepared in a sterile way and a wheal at the site made with 1 percent procaine hydrochloride solution. A 20 to gauge needle attached to a dry syringe is inserted into the bursa and the fluid aspirated. The needle is left in place and the aspirating syringe changed for a small syringe containing the desired dose. After injection, the needle is withdrawn and a small dressing applied. 3. Miscellaneous: Ganglion, Tendinitis, Epicondylitis In the treatment of conditions such as tendinitis or tenosynovitis, care should be taken, following application of a suitable antiseptic to the overlying skin, to inject the suspension into the tendon sheath rather than into the substance of the tendon. The tendon may be readily palpated when placed on a stretch. When treating conditions such as epicondylitis, the area of greatest tenderness should be outlined carefully and the suspension infiltrated into the area. For ganglia of the tendon sheaths, the suspension is injected directly into the cyst. In many cases, a single injection causes a marked decrease in the size of the cystic tumor and may effect disappearance. The usual sterile precautions should be observed, of course, with each injection. The dose in the treatment of the various conditions of the tendinous or, bursal structures listed above varies with the condition being treated and ranges from 4 to 30 mg. In recurrent or chronic conditions, repeated injections may be necessary. 4. Injections for Local Effect in Dermatologic Conditions Following cleansing with an appropriate antiseptic such as 70% alcohol, 20 to 60 mg of the suspension is injected into the lesion. It may be necessary to distribute doses ranging from 20 to 40.
