A single-centre experience of post-renal transplant lymphoproliferative disorder

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) complicates 1 to 10% of all transplantations. Previous clinicopathological studies of PTLD have been limited by small numbers, short follow-up times, outdated data, heterogeneity of pooled solid-organ transplant results, and selective inclusion of early-onset disease. We therefore undertake here a retrospective analysis and identify all cases of PTLD that complicated renal transplantation at the Princess Alexandra Hospital between 30 June 1969 and 31 May 2001. Tumour samples were subsequently retrieved for pathological review and for Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA in situ hybridisation (EBER-ISH). Of 2,030 renal transplantation patients, 29 (1.4%) developed PTLD after a median period of 0.5 years (range 0.1 to 23.3 years). PTLD patients were more likely to have received cyclosporine (76% versus 62%, P

Blunted growth hormone response to clonidine in post-traumatic stress disorder

Hyperactivity of the sympathetic and noradrenergic systems is thought to be a feature of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Assessment of noradrenergic receptor function can be undertaken by measuring the growth hormone (GH) response to the alpha(2)-agonist clonidine. The aim of this study was to examine whether subjects with combat-related PTSD (with or without co-morbid depression) have a blunted growth hormone response to clonidine, compared to a combat-exposed control group. Twenty-three Vietnam veterans suffering from PTSD alone, 27 suffering from PTSD and co-morbid depression, and 32 veteran controls with no psychiatric illness were administered 1.5 mug/kg clonidine i.v. Plasma growth hormone was measured every 20 min for 120 min. The growth hormone response to clonidine was significantly blunted in the non-depressed PTSD group compared to both the depressed PTSD group and the control group as measured by peak growth hormone, delta growth hormone and AUC growth hormone. Subjects with PTSD and no co-morbid depressive illness show a blunted growth hormone response to clonidine. This suggests that post-synaptic alpha(2)-receptors are subsensitive. This finding is consistent with other studies showing increased noradrenergic activity in PTSD. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Beauty and the market: Actress postcards and their senders in early twentieth century Australia

A hundred years ago the international craze for picture postcards distributed millions of images of popular stage actresses around the world. The cards were bought, sent, and collected by many whose contact with live theatre was sometimes minimal. Veronica Kelly's study of some of these cards sent in Australia indicates the increasing reach of theatrical images and celebrity brought about by the distribution mechanisms of industrial mass modernity. The specific social purposes and contexts of the senders are revealed by cross-reading the images themselves with the private messages on the backs, suggesting that, once outside the industrial framing of theatre or the dramatic one of specific roles, the actress operated as a multiply signifying icon within mass culture – with the desires and consumer power of women major factors in the consumption of the glamour actress card. A study of the typical visual rhetoric of these postcards indicates the authorized modes of femininity being constructed by the major postcard publishers whose products were distributed to theatre fans and non-theatregoers alike through the post. Veronica Kelly is working on a project dealing with commercial managements and stars in early twentieth-century Australian theatre. She teaches in the School of English, Media Studies, and Art History at the University of Queensland, is co-editor of Australasian Drama Studies, and author of databases and articles dealing with colonial and contemporary Australian theatre history and dramatic criticism. Her books include The Theatre of Louis Nowra (1998) and the collection Our Australian Theatre in the 1990s (1998).
