King de Ramirez, Carmen
- Abstract
Scholars have argued that 21st century educators have the responsibility to incorporate global citizenship activities into academic curricula to meet the demands of an increasingly diverse world. Approaches to global citizenship education that have rendered positive results include service-learning, critical thinking activities, second language acquisition, and international exchanges. The current study explores a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) project carried out between university students enrolled in universities located in the Arizona-Sonora Megaregión. The study found that before students participated in COIL they demonstrated a limited understanding of their neighboring country. At the conclusion of the COIL project students demonstrated global citizenship skills such as the ability to analyze international relationships, critically consume media, and make identify points of global interconnectedness.

A arte está presente na sociedade desde as primeiras civilizações. Dentre as diversas formas de expressões artísticas encontra-se a música, sendo uma das manifestações mais antigas e destacando-se por seu caráter subjetivo e abstrato. Ao longo do tempo percebe-se que a relação do homem com a música vem se tornando cada vez mais imprescindível e inevitável, à vista disso, salientamos a importância de compreender a influência da música no desenvolvimento humano e seus impactos na vida do sujeito, concebendo a música como fenômeno psicológico e cultural. Para tal compreensão tomaremos como método a revisão de literatura especializada, trazendo um histórico sobre a relação do homem com a música ao longo do tempo, em seguida, abordaremos a concepção da arte em Vigotski na perspectiva histórico-cultural, para então, apresentarmos os possíveis impactos que a música causa no sujeito, abrindo caminho para o trabalho em musicoterapia. Partindo deste olhar, consideramos que a música tem a capacidade de modificar o estado físico e psíquico do sujeito, levando-o a superar seus próprios sentimentos e a transformar o seu mundo.

King de Ramírez, Carmen
- Abstract
In order to prepare students to successfully engage with native speakers and members of heritage language communities both at home and abroad, educators must develop course curricula that emphasize cultural practices, products, perspectives, and comparisons as well as provide students with opportunities to directly apply the skills that they have acquired in the classroom across a range of other settings. This article describes a Culture for the Professions course whose curriculum was based on the four steps of the cultural intelligence model (Earley & Ang, 2003): drive, knowledge, strategy, and action. The study focuses in particular on how students implemented the last two components of the model (strategy and action) by collaborating with local organizations to design and present culture workshops that were specifically tailored to each organization's needs and mission. In addition to benefiting the organizations themselves, data obtained from evaluation rubrics and postworkshop reflections suggest that community culture workshops allow students to become more aware of how culture influences the work of an organization and to develop strategies to bridge cultural differences in the workplace.

Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) is an education model that provides a framework for international academic exchanges. Though COIL projects outline some best practices for academic partnerships, there are still several areas of project development in which participating faculty must make important decisions that affect the success of the academic venture. Perhaps one of the most important, yet frequently overlooked, aspects of international academic exchanges are the considerations made for differences in academic cultural practices. The current article details a COIL project in which binational faculty and students shared a semester‐long course. At the conclusion of the course, the two student groups reported vast differences in their experiences. In an effort to explain students' divergent perspectives, the author examines the academic climate reported by students and how academic practices implemented in the COIL project affected the overall success of the course.

The historical exclusion of Latin@ students on university campuses is noted through the lack of diversity in higher education curricula, services, and organizations. The absence of appropriate support systems for Latin@ students is one of the main contributors to high attrition rates among this group as students often feel that they must choose between their cultural community and university community (Arellano & Padilla, 1996; Gloria & Pope-Davis, 1997). In order to remedy disparities between Latin@ students’ heritage culture and the European-based curricular structure of higher education in the United States, it has been suggested that educators build an academic community that is representative of diversity found in our community as a whole (Gloria, 1997; Pedraza & Rivera, 2006). To this end, educators must be engaged in culturally responsive teaching (Boykin, 1994; Gay, 2010) that acknowledges Latin@ students’ cultural background and reinforces their place in university settings (Diner, 1989; Pappamihiel & Moreno, 2011). Service-learning (SL) is an increasingly popular approach to second language education that can lead to culturally responsive teaching as it invites instructors to facilitate a democratic teaching process that allows students to use their past experiences and future goals to help design course curriculum (Abbott & Lear, 2010). However, most approaches to language-based SL focus on outsourcing L2 students to the same minority-language communities in which many HLs are reared (Barreneche & Ramos-Flores, 2013) and thus lose appeal for HL students. The current study provides an alternative to traditional language-based SL programs as it was designed to acquaint HLs with the academic communities from which they have been historically excluded. The SL project was part of an advanced Spanish for the Professions course that required students to create and broadcast campus radio programs. This initiative drew upon HLs’ familiarity with popular nationally-broadcasted Spanish radio programs and used said programs as a model to create/broadcast local Spanish-language radio programs for their campus community. Preliminary findings suggest that the HLs involved in the creation of the Spanish-language radio program experienced a greater sense of belonging in their academic community. The program became a platform from which Latin@ students could establish a presence on campus, voice immediate concerns, and learn skills that prepare them for a career in mass-media. Through this experience, HLs also began to understand their role in creating and maintaining spaces for underrepresented university members. Latin@ radio listeners expressed feelings of validation as topics related to their lives and experiences were broadcast in a university setting.

While loss of genome integrity is at the basis of numerous pathologies, including cancer, genome plasticity is necessary to adapt to a changing environment and thus is essential for long-term organismal success. Here we present data supporting a targeted mechanism that promotes adaptation to environmental stress by driving site-specific genome instability tied to transcriptional induction and the formation of RNA-DNA hybrids. Using anin vitroevolution assay we observe that the inner nuclear membrane LEM domain proteins Heh1 and Heh2 play antagonistic roles in inhibiting or promoting adaptation through copy number expansion, respectively, which is also reflected in their genetic interaction networks with genes responsible for transcription-dependent genome instability. Taken together, our data suggest the existence of a LEM domain protein-mediated mechanism by which an immediate transcriptional response to a changing environment drives targeted genome instability to promote increased variation on which selection can act to support long-term adaptation.

Despite the number of recent Golden Age studies that examine feminine figures, the majority of research has been dedicated to analyzing the bourgeois woman and her function as a counterpart to the male figure. However, the lavish lifestyle characteristic of this time period is not sustained through the efforts of bourgeois characters, but rather, through the labor and collaboration of ancillary characters, such as female slaves, that tend to go unperceived by critics. The present article explores the inadequacies existent in Spanish Golden Age representations of black female slaves illustrated by several male authors, and proposes that works written by female authors of the same time period provide a more complete vision of the domestic and social importance of slave women. In order to investigate this proposal more fully, this article explores Mariana de Carvajal's novella La industria vence desdenes (1637), and suggests that Carvajal’s detailed representations of the black female slave’s contributions to domestic affairs distinguish her work from other novellas of the same time period. In this text, the female slave’s multifaceted role unfolds as she acts as a caregiver, domestic servant, cultural ambassador, and intermediary between bourgeois figures. In order to form a base from which readers can fully appreciate Carvajal’s contributions to the representations of the domestic slave, the first part of this study provides preliminary information concerning the historical and literary presence of the black female slave in Golden Age Spain as well as illustrations of this figure in works written by Carvajal’s contemporaries.

Orientadora: Profa. Dra. Giselle Watanabe Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Mestrado Nacional Profissional em Ensino de Física - MNPEF, 2016. De forma geral, um dos últimos contatos que os estudantes estabelecem com os conceitos sistematizados da Física ocorre no Ensino Médio. Nesse momento de suas vidas escolares são abordados quase que exclusivamente a Física que vai até o século XIX, sem efetivamente discutir o desenvolvimento científico e tecnológico contemporâneo. Há de se considerar que uma formação escolar mais crítica, que busque uma alfabetização científica e tecnológica mais significativa, pressupõe de uma reflexão mais contextualizada e próxima do cotidiano do aluno. Essa aproximação inclui também, do nosso ponto de vista, a inserção de tópicos de física moderna e contemporânea. Nesse contexto, esse trabalho constrói e analisa uma proposta de ensino de Física de Partículas, tomando como referência a teoria do modelo padrão, incluindo tópicos como partículas e suas interações. Para a proposição e aplicação das atividades tomou-se como elemento orientador as ações educativas que ocorrem durante o evento Masterclasses UFABC/CERN/LHC, organizado pelo CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire - Organização Europeia para a Pesquisa Nuclear) e UFABC (Universidade Federal do ABC). Nesse evento os alunos analisam e discutem os resultados obtidos por meio de dados reais das colisões ocorridas no LHC (Large Hádron Collider - Grande Colisor de Hádrons). A análise crítica dessa proposta dar-se-á por meio da perspectiva dos três momentos pedagógicos. Dos resultados, notam-se que a reconstrução da proposta inicial, a partir do olhar freireano, pode levar a uma formação para crítica e próxima da realidade dos alunos, ainda que a proposta inicial apresenta aproximações interessantes entre os participantes e os pesquisadores. Overall, one of the last contacts that students establish with the systematized concepts of physics occurs in high school. At that point in their school lives are covered almost exclusively the physics that goes up to the nineteenth century, without actually mdiscussing the contemporary scientific and technological development. One has to consider that a more critical school education, which seeks a more significant scientific and technological literacy, requires a more contextualized and close reflection of the student's daily life. This approach also includes, from our point of view, the inclusion of modern and contemporary physics topics. In this context, this paper constructs and analyzes a proposal for teaching Particle Physics, with reference to the theory of the standard model, including topics such as particles and their interactions. For the proposition and implementation of activities it was taken as a guiding element the educational activities that occur during the event Masterclasses UFABC / CERN / LHC, organized by CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire - European Organization for Nuclear Research) and UFABC (Federal University of ABC). At this event students analyze and discuss the results obtained thru actual data from collisions at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). The critical analysis of this proposal will be given by means of the perspective of the three pedagogical moments. From the results, it is noted that the reconstruction of the original proposal, from the Freirean look, can lead to a formation for criticism and close to the reality of students, although the initial proposal presents interesting approaches between participants and researchers.

Any outsider who comes in contact with Russia soon realizes that it behaves in a fundamentally different way. Sometimes Russia reminds us of people we know, leading us to speculate that it must somehow have a collective personality, which makes it all the more challenging and alluring. We speak of Russia's mysterious "deep soul" (even "slave soul") gleamed by reading Fyodor Dostoevsky or listening to Aleksandr Skryabin. Fyodor Tyutchev famously remarked that Russia cannot be understood with the mind, only emotionally. Winston Churchill even more famously regretted that Russia "is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma." A Gorbachev supporter once praised the former Soviet leader as a master psychoanalyst who knew how to change Russia whereas others would have failed.1 A leading Western Sovietologist, Fiona Hill, once mentioned that Russia "resembles a paranoid individual."2 Another one, Peter Rutland, warned that any attempt to dissect Russia's enigmatic personality is bound to raise more questions than answers. "Expect the unexpected," he advised.3The observation that nations behave as individuals is anecdotal yet widespread, not really grounded academically, though both the realist and liberalist schools of international relations to some extent assume it. Development economists and even political scientists speak of whether a country has "matured." Using Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theories, Arthur Koestler spoke of the "political neuroses" of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom before, during, and after World War II.4 Russian analysts routinely use these tools to describe Russia, as have some Western specialists.5 Ambassador George F. Kennan in his 1946 "Long Telegram" and 1947 "X" article-probably the most influential early Cold War documents-spoke about "psychological analysis" in his attempt at dissecting the complex interactions of elites, history, and peoples that produced the Kremlin's "neurotic" views and actions.6In this spirit, we propose that Russia's behavior has a striking resemblance to what is known as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), which is one of the ten personality disorders recognized by the psychological and psychiatric academy. Whether this resemblance is purely coincidental or the result of some dynamic we dare not speculate about remains beyond any discipline or theories of which we are aware. But the parallel is so obvious that it would not be surprising if by stating it we accidentally plagiarized someone else. According to the the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-IV), a person can be diagnosed with BPD if they suffer from five of the following nine symptoms:1. Frantic effort to avoid real or imagined abandonment;2. A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation;3. Identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self;4. Impulsivity in areas that are potentially self-damaging;5. Recurring suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior;6. Affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood, such as episodic dysphoria (mixture of depression, rage, and despair), irritability or anxiety;7. Chronic feelings of emptiness;8. Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty in controlling anger (including engaging in violence); and9. Transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms.7As is apparent even to casual observers, Russia suffers from at least the five needed for diagnosis.The Borderline WorldStop Walking on Eggshells, a groundbreaking book on BPD (written for those who have to live with a borderline patient) by Paul T. Mason and Randi Kreger, can double as a diagnostic manual of Russia's behavior-toward itself and others.8 It would be useful not only to U.S. and EU diplomats, but also to Russian leaders who, as Gorbachev, are forced to double as therapists. …

- Abstract
Co-owners of Las Vegas's Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM) and stars of the Animal Planet hit show Tanked, rowdy brothers-in-law Wayde King and Brett Ryamer build some of the most enormous, awe-inspiring aquariums for top celebrities, luxury hotels and casinos, Fortune 500 businesses, and millionaire homeowners across the country, taking on tanks ranging from 50 gallons to 50,000. Jackass producer Jeffery Tremaine commissioned a two-ton salt-water tank for his man cave--and hijinks of course ensued. The guys kept their gloves on when the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship ordered the ultimate “Aquagon” for UFC headquarters. Then Wayde and Brett tried to beat the clock when Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade asked them to create a pop-up tank featuring his new Sting Ray sneaker at the unveiling party during NBA All-Star weekend. In the newest episodes, the guys bring their clients'wildest visions to life with: a Cleopatra sarcophagus tank with fish from the Red Sea for an archeology-themed room at a boutique hotel; a retro rocket-ship aquarium for the headquarters of Rocket Fizz Soda Pop and Candy Shop with candy-colored fish and fizzing soda bottles; a giant lava lamp tank that changes colors, glows in the dark, and features jellyfish; a smokin'hot aquarium to honor Fairleigh Dickson University's Devils with a lifelike fire element; and a slot-machine tank for a wedding chapel in Las Vegas. Tanked: The Book features detailed, in-depth profiles of ATM's top builds, the inside story of how they climbed to the top of the shark-infested world of custom aquariums, fascinating profiles of the cast, never-before-told behind-the-scenes stories direct from the set, celebrity testimonials, and fun sidebars like “fish facts” and “tank tips” so everyone can get tanked at home.

✓ The authors report the postoperative magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings in 36 patients with advanced Parkinson's disease who underwent unilateral microelectrode-guided posteroventral pallidotomy. The lesions were placed within 1 mm of the ventral border of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) to include pallidothalamic outflow pathways. Sequential MR studies were obtained within 1 to 3 days postoperatively and at 6-month follow-up examination. Thirty-four (94%) of the 36 patients enjoyed sustained moderate or marked improvement of their parkinsonian symptoms 6 months postoperatively. Transient side effects occurred in five patients (14%), but there were no persistent complications. The pallidal radiofrequency lesions were prolate spheroid shaped and were composed of three concentric zones in the early postoperative studies. The mean volume of the middle zone, corresponding to the area of hemorrhagic coagulation necrosis, was 44.4 ± 17.6 mm3; the mean lesion volume as defined by the outer zone, corresponding to perilesional edema, was 262.2 ± 111.6 mm3. Additional edema spreading to the internal capsule was noted in 32 of 34 cases and to the optic tract in 11 of 34 cases. In two patients small ischemic infarctions involving the corona radiata were found, and in one a venous infarction was detected. Ischemic infarction resulted in mild transient Broca's aphasia in one patient, but there was no detectable neurological deficit in the other two. The mean volume of late-phase (6 months) lesions was 22 ± 28.8 mm3. In three patients no lesion was identified despite sustained clinical improvement. The lesion was located in the posteroventral GPi in all cases except in one patient in whom it was confined to the GP externus (GPe). This 49-year-old woman did not experience sustained benefit. The authors found no consistent correlations between lesion size and location and clinical outcome as measured by a global outcome score, the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale motor, activities of daily living, and bradykinesia “off” scores or rating of dyskinesias. Lesioning of pallidal and subpallidal pathways may contribute to the sustained clinical benefit in this series. Magnetic resonance imaging analysis showed that intraoperative microelectrode recording facilitated accurate placement of the lesion in this critical area.

- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Spiritual and religious factors may influence mental health in midlife women. The purpose of this study was to explore whether strength of religious beliefs or attendance at religious services helps to mitigate the stresses of life in mid-life women. METHODS: Data are from a sub-sample of 265 women, ages 40-70, who were participants in the REACH study, a longitudinal study investigating health parameters in a representative sample of households from rural communities in eastern North Carolina. Using t-tests and linear regression analyses, we analyzed the relationship between frequency of attendance at religious services and strength of religious beliefs in 1997 and subsequent mental health in 2003 as measured by the mental health component score (MCS) of the SF-12. RESULTS: The mean MCS in 2003 was significantly higher (better mental health) in women who reported attending religious services > or =1/week compared to those who reported attending <1/week (53.9 vs. 51.7; p < 0.05). In the linear regression model controlling for self-reported health status, baseline attendance at organized religious services remained a significant predictor of the MCS at six-year follow-up (standardized beta = -0.123, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Attendance at religious services is positively related to subsequent mental health in middle-aged women. The findings support the notion that religious commitment may help mitigate the stress of the midlife period. More research is needed to translate these findings into clinical interventions that can decrease the burden of anxiety and depression on midlife women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
When no organic cause for dyspepsia is found, the condition generally is considered to be functional, or idiopathic. Nonulcer dyspepsia can cause a variety of symptoms, including abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. Many patients with nonulcer dyspepsia have multiple somatic complaints, as well as symptoms of anxiety and depression. Extensive diagnostic testing is not recommended, except in patients with serious risk factors such as dysphagia, protracted vomiting, anorexia, melena, anemia, or a palpable mass. In these patients, endoscopy should be considered to exclude gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic or duodenal ulcer, and gastric cancer. In patients without risk factors, consideration should be given to empiric therapy with a prokinetic agent (e.g., metoclopramide), an acid suppressant (histamine-H2 receptor antagonist), or an antimicrobial agent with activity against Helicobacter pylori. Treatment of patients with H. pylori infection and nonulcer dyspepsia (rather than peptic ulcer) is controversial and should be undertaken only when the pathogen has been identified. Psychotropic agents should be used in patients with comorbid anxiety or depression. Treatment of nonulcer dyspepsia can be challenging because of the need to balance medical management strategies with treatments for psychologic or functional disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
BACKGROUND: The Association of American Medical Colleges has recommended addressing spirituality in the medical curriculum. DESCRIPTION: To evaluate the impact of a spiritual history-taking curriculum on the skills, knowledge, and attitudes of 1st year medical students. The study implemented a spiritual history-taking curriculum in the 1st year of medical school that included reading assignments, practice history taking, and standardized patient (SP) scenarios with spiritual content. It assessed students' performance in three ways: (a) using a videotaped SP interview, (b) a survey of students' attitudes regarding incorporating patients' religious and cultural views into medical decision making, and (c) a written test question on their first examination. EVALUATION: Students (146) took part in the medical school's spirituality curriculum, which included participation in videotaped interviews; 98% completed the initial survey, and 75% completed the follow-up survey. On the final videotaped SP interview, 65% of students were able to recognize the patient's spiritual concern according to trained faculty observers. On the attitude survey, there was an increased desire to accommodate patients' beliefs, although the magnitude of the increase was generally quite small. Ninety-four percent of students answered the test question correctly. CONCLUSION: Spiritual history taking can be integrated effectively into the existing history-taking curriculum in 1st year medical training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether a relationship exists between religious attendance and continuity of care. METHODS: We investigated this relationship in a large national database--the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III--which contains information on religious attendance, continuity of care, and potential confounders that might mediate the relationship such as health status and socioeconomic status. RESULTS: A total of 18,162 participants 17 years of age or older were included in the analysis. People who attended religious services were more likely to have continuity with a provider than people who did not attend such services (65% vs. 35%, p < .001). This association persisted after controlling for demographic, socioeconomic, and health status variables using regression analysis. CONCLUSION: This study documents a significant association between attendance at religious services and continuity with a usual provider. Continuity with a regular medical provider may influence the association of religious attendance and health outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
PURPOSE: To examine the relationship between elevated inflammatory markers (CRP, fibrinogen, and white blood cell levels) and various forms of exercise for the adult U.S. population while controlling for factors that might influence the relationship. METHODS: An analysis of the adults age 17 and over who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III was conducted. The main goal of the analysis was to determine whether exercise type was associated with systemic markers of inflammation. Bivariate statistics using chi-square to evaluate different types of exercise according to the presence of elevated and nonelevated inflammatory markers was initially performed. In addition, multivariate models were constructed using each type of exercise activity as the predictor variable and each inflammatory marker as the dependent variable. RESULTS: A total of 4072 people were included in the analysis. In bivariate analyses, compared with nonexercisers in a specific exercise type, a significant lower likelihood of elevated inflammatory markers was found among regular participants in jogging, swimming, cycling, aerobic dancing, calisthenics, and weight lifting but not for gardening. After controlling for possible confounding factors including age, race, sex, body mass index, smoking, and health status in logistic regression analysis, only regular participants in jogging and aerobic dancing remained significantly less likely to have elevated cardiovascular markers. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study indicate that some forms of physical activity are associated with a lower likelihood of elevation of inflammatory markers, although we cannot exclude the possibility that differences may be due to exercise intensity or duration. Future research should be directed toward further exploration of the effects of different types of exercise activity on inflammatory markers and the role of exercise in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

King DE, Dickerson LM, Sack JL, and Hueston WJ
- Abstract
Family physicians should be familiar with the acute management of atrial fibrillation and the initiation of chronic therapy for this common arrhythmia. Initial management should include hemodynamic stabilization, rate control, restoration of sinus rhythm, and initiation of antithrombotic therapy. Part II of this two-part article focuses on the prevention of thromboembolic complications using anticoagulation. Heparin is routinely administered before medical or electrical cardioversion. Warfarin is used in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation who are at higher risk for thromboembolic complications because of advanced age, history of coronary artery disease or stroke, or presence of left-sided heart failure. Aspirin is preferred in patients at low risk for thromboembolic complications and patients with a high risk for falls, a history of noncompliance, active bleeding, or poorly controlled hypertension. The recommendations provided in this article are consistent with guidelines published by the American Heart Association and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

King DE, Dickerson LM, Sack JL, and Hueston WJ
- Abstract
Atrial fibrillation is the arrhythmia most commonly encountered in family practice. Serious complications can include congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, and thromboembolism. Initial treatment is directed at controlling the ventricular rate, most often with a calcium channel blocker, a beta blocker, or digoxin. Medical or electrical cardioversion to restore sinus rhythm is the next step in patients who remain in atrial fibrillation. Heparin should be administered to hospitalized patients undergoing medical or electrical cardioversion. Anticoagulation with warfarin should be used for three weeks before elective cardioversion and continued for four weeks after cardioversion. The recommendations provided in this two-part article are consistent with guidelines published by the American Heart Association and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.

Hunter MH, King DE, and Hueston W
- Abstract
Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are treated with oxygen (in hypoxemic patients), inhaled beta2 agonists, inhaled anticholinergics, antibiotics and systemic corticosteroids. Methylxanthine therapy may be considered in patients who do not respond to other bronchodilators. Antibiotic therapy is directed at the most common pathogens, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis. Mild to moderate exacerbations of COPD are usually treated with older broad-spectrum antibiotics such as doxycycline, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium. Treatment with augmented penicillins, fluoroquinolones, third-generation cephalosporins or aminoglycosides may be considered in patients with more severe exacerbations. The management of chronic stable COPD always includes smoking cessation and oxygen therapy. Inhaled beta2 agonists, inhaled anticholinergics and systemic corticosteroids provide short-term benefits in patients with chronic stable disease. Inhaled corticosteroids decrease airway reactivity and reduce the use of health care services for management of respiratory symptoms. Preventing acute exacerbations helps to reduce long-term complications. Long-term oxygen therapy, regular monitoring of pulmonary function and referral for pulmonary rehabilitation are often indicated. Influenza and pneumococcal vaccines should be given. Patients who do not respond to standard therapies may benefit from surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

King DE and Pippin HJ Jr.
- Abstract
Community-acquired pneumonia is a common infection encountered in clinical practice and is the leading cause of death due to infectious disease in the United States. To choose initial antimicrobial therapy appropriately, physicians must keep informed of recent developments in the epidemiology and clinical manifestations of atypical pathogens, antibiotic resistance and new antibiotics. Differentiating between 'typical' and 'atypical' pneumonia based on the initial clinical presentation is difficult. Primary treatment for community-acquired pneumonia in young adults without comorbidities is erythromycin. Older adults or those with comorbidities should be treated with erythromycin plus trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, a second- or third-generation cephalosporin, or a new macrolide. Empiric therapy for moderately or severely ill hospitalized patients usually begins with erythromycin plus a second- or third-generation cephalosporin. Physicians should use initial antibiotic therapy for coverage of both typical and atypical pathogens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
