picket fence feverA descriptor for a saw-tooth pattern of high temperature 'spikes', a finding typical of pyogenic hepatic abscesses, often accompanied by chills, sweating, N&V, anorexia, painSigmoid sinus thrombophlebitis may be completely asymptomatic or can be associated with signs of toxemia, torticollis and septic embolization. If the thrombus propagates far enough, it can be associated with intracranial hypertension or otic hydrocephalus. Clinically, the patient will present with a picket fence fever pattern, headache, lethargy, papilledema and an ear infection. Septic thrombus can propagate to involve the cavernous sinus. If there is involvement of the cavernous sinus, signs include bilateral orbital involvement, sever chemosis and opthalmoplegia, retinal engorgement, and high fever. MRI with gadolinium is the imaging technique of choice for sigmoid sinus thrombophlebitis. MRI with MRA(magnetic resonance angiography) is also an ideal diagnostic tool. Conventional angiography requires vessel puncture, use of IV contrast agents, and uses ionizing radiation. Therefore, angiography is less desirable. The treatment is to surgically expose the diseased dura and remove the excess granulation tissue. If otic hydrocephalus is present, one must treat or monitor the intracranial hypertension. If a septic emboli is present , it may require sigmoid sinus decompression or ligation of the internal jugular vein to avoid further embolization of the tissue. Alternative forms of treatment include anticoagulation therapy and IV antibiotics. However, anticoagulation is not usually recommended as it can be associated with spreading septic emoboli or hemorrhage.

Airline Passengers Are Sprayed for Bugs

An airline flight to the tropics may involve greater health risks than a dose of airline food-- pesticides are routinely sprayed in aircraft cabins by U.S. airlines sometimes over the heads of passengers during flight. "Disinsection" is the industry term for this practice, which continues despite clear evidence of risk to passengers and crew. People more vulnerable to the effects of pesticides, such as infants, pregnant woman or asthmatics are informed, if at all, only just prior to spraying. Airline flight attendants unions argue that chemical spraying is unnecessary because mechanical methods could be applied instead.

No U.S. agency requires pesticide use on planes. The US Department of Transportation website lists the countries that require in-flight spraying, and those that will accept the "residual" treatment as an alternative. Six countries currently require pesticide spraying on all inbound flights: Grenada, India, Kiribati, Madagascar, Trinidad and Tobago and Uruguay. The application method varies by country and airline. Typically, a pressurized spray containing 2%

phenothrin is sprayed over the passengers' heads during the flight (also called "top-of-descent") or upon arrival, but while the doors are closed. Alternatively, cabin crew may spray the occupied cabin prior to departure after the doors have been closed ("blocks away"). A member of the crew will announce the procedure shortly before they spray.

Another six countries: Australia, Barbados, Fiji, Jamaica, New Zealand and Panama require the use of residual pesticides. In this case applicators board the aircraft and spray every surface in the cabin with a solution that contains 2% permethrin. This process takes place shortly before crew and passengers board, without their knowledge. Babies and children are said to be more sensitive to the effects of permethrin. Once an aircraft has been residually treated, foreign quarantine officials will allow it to land without additional pesticide treatment for the next 56 days.

Passengers flying on US domestic flights may find themselves on an airliner that has recently been sprayed. United Airlines, for example, treats all of its 747-400 aircraft in Hong Kong. These aircraft are not restricted to the South Pacific routes; they are simply scheduled to fly to Australia or New Zealand during the next 56 days, but in the meantime, can be flown on both international and domestic routes.

The International Civil Aviation Organization reports that most airlines use permethrin and pyrethroid, both are suspected endocrine disruptors, and permethrin may be a carcinogen. The Northwest Coalition for Alternatives to Pesticides (NCAP) points out that pesticides cause even greater harm on airplanes, where up to 50% of the air in the cabins is recycled. "Pesticides break down slowly in the enclosed, poorly ventilated aircraft," says a NCAP spokesperson.

The airlines are not required to inform passengers at ticket purchase of flight sprays, and there is also no control over how much pesticide is applied on the aircraft. The Association of Flight Attendants reported in 2001 that one airline used 50-60% more pesticide than the maximum recommended by the World Health Organization. Between 2000 and 2001, one cabin crew union received complaints of pesticide-related illness on more than 200 flights. Many complaints cite damp surfaces and pesticide odors in crew rest compartments. Crews and passengers have reported sinus problems, swollen and itchy eyes, cough, difficulty breathing, hoarseness, skin rashes/hives that vary in intensity, severe headaches and fatigue, and heightened sensitivity to other chemicals. Some crew members have medical documentation of reactions consistent with nerve gas exposure, such as blood, optic nerve, and nervous system abnormalities.

Alternative methods to control insects on aircraft are already in use. Since the 1980s, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has used curtains made of overlapping strips of plastic to successfully keep Japanese Beetles off aircraft destined for the western states during the summer. Chemically treated mosquito netting and blowers in jetways may also be used as alternatives. A variety of mechanical means should be tested.

The Association of Flight Attendants suggests that passengers contact the airline to find out if pesticides will be sprayed on their flight, or if they will be boarding a "residually sprayed" craft. The U.S. Department of Transportation website also lists countries that require spray.

Pharm Mneumonics

Acyclovir “I see clover”I see a three-leaf clover (this is a prodrug that gets converted into a triphosphate – it resembles dNTP and inhibits DNA Polymerase). Imagine putting clovers over herpes sores and genital warts (this is used to treat those).

Amantadine “Homan to Dean”In case you haven’t heard, Dr. Homan is our new SOM dean. His new policy: he won’t let us come to school without our white coats (this drug blocks uncoating, stage 2, in viral infection). Other interesting facts about him: he can pee for 12 hours straight! (The half-life is 12h and it’s excreted unchanged in the kidney.) Dr. Homan can’t take the pressure of being a new dean so he becomes a nervous drunk with depression, feelings of detachment, insomnia, dizziness, ataxia, slurred speech, and inability to concentrate (these are some of the adverse effects)

Cephachlor “Chlorine” – as in swimming poolsYou swim and get water up your nose and in your ears (this drug treats sinusitis and otitis media).

Cephadroxil “Drop rocks”While you are peeing you drop rocks (This drug treats UTIs).

Cephalothin “…Loathing”If your heart is infected, you can’t love, only loathe (this is used to treat severe infections such as endocarditis).

Cephamandole “…Man doll”You have to inflate your man doll and you get an upper respiratory infection. If you “use” this anatomically correct man doll, he will give you pelvic inflammatory disease (This drug is indicated for URI and PID). He’s also so real that he bleeds!!! (Adverse effect: It affects Vit-K dependent clotting function)

Cephazolin “…Soul in”You want to keep your soul in and not die if you go to surgery (this drug is used prophylactically for surgery).

Cephoperazone “…Opera zone”Going to the opera makes me want to get drunk to the point of illness. These drugs, when mixed with ethanol interfere with ALDH, affecting alcohol metabolism (you end up with increased acetaldehyde – a DISULFIRAM-LIKE REACTION).Also, if you see Phantom of the Opera, expect to see some blood! (This affects Vit-K dependent clotting function.)

Cephotaxime “…Tax time”IRS is hard to kill off – they are MULTIPLE DRUG RESISTANT (Use this drug against MDR strains.).

Clindamycin “Clean the mice”You’re cleaning the mice because they are covered with ticks (this drug is used to treat Lyme Disease). You have to use SOS kitchen cleaner to clean the mice (SOS = 50 S ribosomal unit – where this drug acts). Richard Gere likes to put mice in “where the sun don’t shine” and this is a very FRAGILE procedure (Clindamycin may cause Pseudomembranous enterocolitis and it’s also used to treat B. fragilis infections).

Fluconazole “Flu cone”Imagine an emaciated AIDS patient eating an ice cream cone made of the flu and he gets an oral and esophageal fungal infection. (This is used to treat oral and esophageal candidiasis in AIDS patients).

Foscarnet “Fox cARRR net”If you catch foxes in a net, they won’t reproduce (this drug is a stage 3 inhibitor). ARRR… it inhibits RNA polymerase and Reverse transcriptase to block Reproduction. You’re going to put the foxes into a car that’s made out of bones instead of metal (this drug binds to bones and decreases Ca2+ and Mg2+).Also, a foxy lady is HOT (this drug will cause a fever) and never wear fox urine to hunt (this is excreted in the kidney and causes renal insufficiency).

Griseofulvin “Greasy…”If you put grease on your skin you’ll sunburn. This drug binds to keratin in the skin blocking fungal habitation. Also think about greasing up the mitotic spindle (it binds the mitotic spindle as well).Also, if you wear grease when you go to war, the bullets will slip off you and not hit you so you won’t bleed! (This drug induces p450 which increases the metabolism of warfarin thus reducing warfarin’s hypoprothrombinemic effects.)Poor people have to use grease for their because they can’t afford Salon Selectives (this can cause porphyria as an adverse effect).

Idoxuridine “Eye dogs…”

You need seeing-eye dogs because you have herpes simplex infection of the eyelid, conjunctiva, and cornea (this is what this drug treats). Imagine your dogs attacking a passerby and immediately chewing out his liver (this is rapidly metabolized by the liver).You feed them the generic brand of Kibbles and Bits called “Kinase Inhibits” (This drug inhibits DNA synthesis enzymes – Stage three).Also, think Three Dog Night – it’s a prodrug that has to be turned into a triphosphate.

Miconazole “Microphone”Imagine an athlete stuffing a microphone in his jock strap, a woman using a microphone for a tampon, and a guy wearing mike’s for shoes. This drug is indicated for jock itch (tinea crurus), yeast infections, and athlete’s foot.

Naladixic Acid “Dixie Chic”Dixie chics like to gyrate a lot (this drug inhibits DNA gyrase). Also, Dixie chics get a lot of UTIs from their ‘wild life’ (This drug, which is a quinolone, is used for UTIs).

Ribavirin “Rib of Erin(goddess)”God wanted to reproduce me by taking one of my ribs, but it didn’t work since there can be no two of me (Stage 3 inhibitor). Beware of the Curse of the Rib of Erin because it does EVIL things, like cause death, lung problems, cardiovascular problems (I’m such a heartbreaker).Instead, I have to reproduce the natural way and end up with five kids (this drug is used for infants and kids).

Sorivudine “Sore if you dine”You’re sore because your dining partner is stabbing you with a three-tined fork along a dermatome. This drug is used for shingles – VZV. (Three-tined fork: This drug is metabolized to triphosphate to inhibit DNA replication).If you eat flowers (5-fluorouridine) you’ll be even more sore and almost dead from BONE MARROW SUPPRESSION.

Spectinomycin “Spectacles”A male patient is so unendowed that you have to put on spectacles to see his testicles (this drug’s used for acute gonococcal urethritis, procttitis and cervicitis (think speculum)). Also, you can put the lenses from the spectacles over your ears to protect them (this drug causes less ototoxicity than the other –mycin drugs).

Vidarabine “We dare a bean”Dare the beans to erupt ALL OVER the body – herpes simplex 1 & 2, varicella zoster, and chicken pox sores. What kind of beans are they? KIDNEY Beans (the kidney excretes them).Some of the beans are Mexican jumping beans that have picked up some illicit drugs along the way to cause hallucinations, psychosis, anorexia, N/V (these are some of the adverse effects).
