Background: Early diagnosis of ischemia is complicated by the poor sensitivity of standard tests and contraindication for stress testing in unstable angina patients. Magnetocardiography (MCG) imaging can be used for the rapid, non-invasive detection of ischemia at rest. Methods: We studied 125 patients with presumed ischemic chest pain. All were chest pain free at the time of scanning. A 6-minute resting MCG scan (CardioMag Imaging, Inc., New York, 9-channel system) was performed. Following the MCG scan, automated software data analysis was performed, and quantitative scores were automatically calculated for each subject. The presence of ischemia was determined after testing with serial troponins, stress testing, and/or coronary angiography. Results: The mean age was 59.4 ± 13.6 years. Most patients (86.4%) had non-ischemic 12-lead ECG and normal troponin (86.2%). Fifty-five patients (44.0%) were determined to be ischemic. The MCG sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value was 76.4, 74.3, 70.0 and 80.0%, respectively, for the detection of ischemia (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: MCG is a new rapid, non-invasive imaging tool able to detect repolarization abnormalities at rest consistent with ischemia in patients presenting with chest pain syndrome and normal or non-specific 12-lead ECG and normal troponin.

The new asthma guidelines have introduced impairment and risk assessments into the management of asthma. Impairment assessment is based on symptom frequency and pulmonary function, whereas risk assessment is based on exacerbation frequency and severity. These 2 measures determine the initial severity of asthma in the untreated patient as well as the degree of control in asthma once treatment has been initiated. The focus on asthma control is important because the attainment of control correlates with a better quality of life and reduction in health care use. We describe 4 easy steps to achieving asthma control in the ambulatory practice setting: (1) a standardized assessment of asthma symptoms using a 5-question assessment tool called the Asthma Control Test, (2) a simple mnemonic that provides a systematic review of the comorbidities and clinical variables that contribute to uncontrolled asthma, (3) directed patient education, and (4) a schedule for ongoing care. Most if not all patients can achieve good control of their asthma with optimal care through an active partnership with their health care professionals.

Abstract The development of medical emergencies related to the underlying disease or as a result of complications of therapy are common in patients with hematologic or solid tumors. These oncological emergencies can occur as an initial presentation or in a patient with an established diagnosis and are encountered in all medical care settings, ranging from primary care to the emergency department and various subspecialty environments. Therefore, it is critically important that all physicians have a working knowledge of the potential oncological emergencies that may present in their practice and how to provide the most effective care without delay. This article reviews the most common oncological emergencies and provides practical guidance for initial management of these patients.
