Bandolier recognises that there are other points of view to those that appear in these pages, and from time to time we will publish short abstracts of letters we receive from a different perspective. Issue 4 had a short piece on hospital-led prescribing which concluded that there was insufficient evidence to lay the blame for high GP prescribing costs on hospital loss-lead prescribing. This has brought strong responses from Dr Tom Jones of the Oxfordshire FHSA and Sharon Hart and colleagues from the Bucks FHSA which express concern that this may undermine efforts to persuade hospitals to co-operate in helping GPs toward more cost-effective prescribing. Since there is insufficient space to print the letters in full, the following abstracts are printed with the approval of the correspondents. Wiffen & Lauder showed that the cost to the community of a `basket' of the top 100 drugs by total expenditure was 7% higher than the cost to the hospital pharmacist. This is not insignificant, representing perhaps as much as 250, 000 in one quarter in Oxfordshire. In addition, VAT is payable on hospital, but not community, drug costs. Taking VAT out of the equation increases the differential above 7%. The comparisons made underestimate the saving potential if alternative drugs were substituted. Thus an Audit Commission Report on prescribing in Buckinghamshire suggested a saving of 220, 000 a year if there were full substitution of ibuprofen and naproxen for expensive NSAIDs such as fenbufen and diclofenac. Similar arguments could be used for Co-amilofruse and Coamilozide being substituted by frusemide and bendrofluazide, and cimetidine for ranitidine. Inevitably much GP prescribing is hospital driven, and rightly so, for hospital specialists are experts in the therapy of the conditions they treat. In most cases medicines are recommended solely for therapeutic supremacy. However, if in even a small number of cases the Hospital Specialist chooses a medicine because of low hospital cost when a therapeutic equivalent would be more expensive but cheaper in the community, the community drug bill goes up unnecessarily. In cases like this, it is difficult for GPs to change prescribing when patients on long-term therapy return to the community. It is important to identify those drugs which do have cheaper community alternatives so that savings overall can be made through enlightened purchasing decisions and rational GP prescribing. Some hospital staff and managers may take the Wiffen & Lauder article to imply that trying to make savings in the community drug bill through attention to hospital prescribing is unnecessary. This is unfortunate since there are a number of hospital initiatives that could reduce community prescribing costs without loss of effectiveness. The NHSE recently arranged a Prescribing conference for purchasers, in part because of this very point.

Of both supramaximal and submaximal excretion, resulting in part of the medication being secreted ineffectively into renal tubules. Continuous infusions of frusemide are safer and more effective than intravenous bolus injections in subjects with refractory edema. A continuous infusion maintains a constant rate of drug secretion into the renal tubules. The chief indication for its use is in hospitalized patients with marked edema who show a diuretic response to an intravenous bolus, which is not sustained. Patients who show no response, to intravenous bolus are unlikely to respond to an infusion since the former achieves higher plasma frusemide levels. After an initial bolus of 1-2 mg kg, frusemide infusion is started at 0.1 mg kg per hr and can be increased to 1 mg kg per hr. The risks associated with high doses of intravenous frusemide, especially hypovolemia and dyselectrolytemia should be weighed against alternative strategies such as addition of a thiazide diuretic or infusion of albumin. Thiazides: Chlorthiazide, hydrochlorthiazide and metolazone act at the distal convoluted tubule where they block the NCCT cotransporter Fig. 1 ; . Metolazone also has an effect on the proximal tubule, and hence is more potent than other thiazides. The onset of action is within one hr, peaks in 4-6 hr and lasts for 12 hr. Potassium sparing diuretics: Spironolactone, triamterene and amiloride block aldosterone induced stimulation of protein synthesis necessary for sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion. These medications are administered orally and have a delayed onset of action, often as long as 3-4 days. Other diuretics: Mannitol, an osmotic agent can also produce diuresis but the effect is transient. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and nifedipine.

KATHY D. MILLER, MD: Good for you. CALLER: Yeah, I'm a seven-and-a-half-year survivor. KATHY D. MILLER, MD: Wonderful. Well, what we have sometimes done, depending on how troublesome the hands and feet are to them, is to give them four to six weeks off the Xeloda entirely. So let the hands really recover and get dramatically better. And then start back at the same dose. They've often been able to go for six or nine months before their hands are back in the same shape. So that's another way to try and help the problem. The osteonecrosis of the jaw is probably not from the Xeloda; it's probably from a medicine called Zometa [zoledronic acid] or Aredia [pamidronate]. CALLER: Excuse me, I meant Zometa. I'm sorry. KATHY D. MILLER, MD: That's okay. We confuse them all the time. Those are medicines that are used specifically in women who have breast cancer involving the bones to try and prevent further destruction of the bones in the areas that were affected by the breast cancer. They've been very effective in doing that. It's only been in the last several years that we've recognized this unusual side effect, this osteonecrosis, which just means a part of the bone dies. And it's usually in the jaw. In most women it's been found after an invasive dental procedure, something like a root canal or having a tooth pulled that then just doesn't heal very well. But it has happened spontaneously without any invasive procedures as well. We haven't found any way to treat that other than to stop the Aredia or the Zometa and to let that area heal. And that can take a long time. We worry about it happening again if you start using the drug again. The good news here is that those drugs have a very long half-life in the bones. So even though you're not still getting the Zometa, it's definitely still in the bones and is still working in the bones. But that one we haven't found anything else to do about it yet. CALLER: Thank you very much. KATHY D. MILLER, MD: You're welcome and quinapril.

I will be continuing the work Dr Pritti Mehta started three years ago, piloting ethnic monitoring in Regional Genetics Clinics RGCs ; in England. My target over the next three years will be to ensure every RGC records the ethnic background of all its patients in an accurate, easy, and friendly way. I will be providing training sessions for all clinic staff to explain the ideas behind the project, and help them implement the new system. One of the biggest hurdles to overcome in this project is perceived bureaucracy. An understandable tendency of staff will be to look at this programme as a new hindrance in their working day, rather than a useful additional process in patient care. The main aim of this project is to help the RGCs prove that they are providing care fairly and equally to all parts of the community; but this is not the only goal. An accurate, standardised, description of a patient's ethnic background will be a useful tool for healthcare professionals. Whether they can more easily recognise a patient's raised susceptibility to certain genetic conditions, or tailor their care to the patient's needs; ethnic background data should integrate quickly with other standard patient information. Once the monitoring system is properly in place, the data it will produce will be of unprecedented accuracy over such a and keflex.

The use of hair analysis for monitoring past drug administration has several advantages compared with analysis of blood samples. Unlike blood samples, it is non-invasive. The hair gives a relatively permanent picture of the pattern of drug administration. A sample can be repeated at a later date, unlike the situation with blood samples in which the drug or its breakdown products are only present for a limited time. If necessary, the identity of the sample could be confirmed by DNA profiling. In the future, it may be possible to use hair analysis to estimate the dose of drug given some time previously. It may also be possible to estimate the date of administration. However it is likely that the technique will become less accurate as the time between administration and analysis increases. This is because there is more opportunity for variation in growth rate. There may, for example, be seasonal variations in growth rate of the hair, although recent work suggests that this might not be the case. Before the technique can be used a practical tool for monitoring drug administration more work needs to be done to establish how much of each drug is taken up by the hair, and how factors such as hair colour affect the process.

During exercise, horses lose both water and electrolytes in sweat. After strenuous or prolonged exercise, they can become dehydrated and the reservoir of electrolytes can become depleted. They may suffer medical problems as a result. The salt concentration in the body plays an important role in the control of thirst. Loss of salt through prolonged sweating may decrease the sensation thirst, leading to an inadequate water intake. This is known as voluntary or sometimes involuntary ; dehydration. In a series of studies, scientists at the Michigan State University's Veterinary Medical Center have been investigating the various factors that influence the voluntary water intake of horses after prolonged exercise. They made the horses dehydrated in the first study by giving them exercise on a treadmill equivalent to a 45-km endurance ride. In the other two studies they gave frus4mide as well to increase the degree of dehydration. Frusemide also known as furosemide ; is a potent diuretic. It acts on the kidneys to cause the loss of water and sodium ions in the urine. Exercise alone produced about a 3% body weight loss. When they were given frusemide as well, horses lost about 5% of their body weight. Firstly the researchers investigated whether restricting the water intake immediately after exercise affected total water intake. Six two-year-old Arabian horses were used in the study. The horses received 4l, 8litres or unrestricted access to water in the first five minutes after exercise. They were then cooled off and allowed free access to water from 20 -60 minutes after the end of exercise, and their total water intake was measured. Traditional advice has been to limit the intake of water immediately after exercise. This was because of the perceived risk of causing colic or laminitis. However, the researchers found that this fear was unfounded. Horses given free access to fluid immediately after exercise had no greater incidence of such problems. And in fact horses tended to limit the fluid intake to the size of the stomach about 10 litres ; On the other hand, restricting the amount of water in the first five minutes after exercise did not adversely affect the overall recovery from dehydration. In the second part of the study, the researchers compared the effect of giving either plain water or two different concentrations of salt solution as the initial rehydration fluid. This was followed by free access plain water from twenty minutes after the end of the exercise period. Again, they recorded the total fluid intake in the first hour after exercise. They found that using water as the initial rehydration fluid was less effective than either of the salt-water solutions. They suggest that this may be because the water dilutes the salt concentration in the blood, reducing the stimulus for thirst. Finally, they assessed whether the temperature of the rehydration fluid affected the total fluid intake. The total fluid intake was greatest when the fluid was given at room temperature 20o C ; rather than cooled 10o C ; or at near body temperature 30o C ; . As result of their findings, they recommend: allow free access to fluids straight after exercise offer salt water at concentrations up to 0.9%salt as the initial rehydration liquid, after that change to plain water give fluids at ambient temperature. There is no benefit using cold fluids or those at body temperature. They also point out that body fluid and electrolyte depletion can persist for several days after prolonged exercise. Several meals may be required to fully replenish electrolytes lost in sweat after prolonged exercise. Reference. Strategies to increase voluntary drinking after exercise.

Management of common vulval conditions. Welsh BM, Berzins KN, Cook KA, Fairley CK Med J Aust 2003 Apr 21; 178 8 ; : 391-5 Community-based surveys indicate that about a fifth of women have significant vulval symptoms lasting over three months at some time in their lives. Common causes of itch or pain are dermatitis, recurrent candidiasis and the recently recognised pain syndromes - vulvar vestibular syndrome and dysaesthetic vulvodynia. Diagnosis is usually apparent after a thorough history and examination, although conditions commonly coexist and are complicated by prior treatment. Skin lesions not responding to treatment require biopsy. Treatment aims to control symptoms rather than to cure; avoiding soaps and other irritants is central to management. An early, accurate diagnosis should enhance management of vulval conditions, particularly pain syndromes. OTHER VULVAR DISORDERS Management of patients with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis. Sobel J Drugs. 2003; 63 11 ; : 1059-66 Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis RVVC ; is by no means uncommon and is a source of considerable physical discomfort in addition to serving as a major therapeutic challenge. The syndrome is multifactorial in aetiology and hence management strategies must recognise the complex aetiological pathways. Many women receiving the misplaced diagnosis of RVVC have a variety of other infectious and non-infectious entities presenting with identical symptoms. Hence the first step in management is confirming the diagnosis of RVVC including microbial confirmation and species identification. Efforts should be made to identify and correct a causal mechanism. Maintenance suppressive azole antifungal regimens are highly effective in controlling symptoms, although cure is less common. Further advances in achieving higher cure rates await the availability of non-azole fungicidal agents. Erosive lichen planus of the vulva and vagina.
