    Abstract A 62-year-old male presented with productive cough, weight loss, and night sweats. CXR revealed a right upper lobe cavitary lesion. Evaluation was negative for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and sputum revealed Mycobacterium avium intracellulare (MAI). Since his clinical course was atypical for MAI, further investigations were pursued which identified Mycobacterium interjectum in lung specimens, a very rarely described etiology of pulmonary disease. Appropriate therapy with rifampin, intravenous amikacin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX), and ethambutol resulted in clinical and radiographic improvement. This is the third case described over a period of 20 years of destructive lung disease in an immunocompetent adult due to M. interjectum.

    Abstract To characterize selective uses of external memory aids, 42 younger and 38 older adults made decisions and then completed individual difference measures. Experimental manipulation of the availability of a memory aid allowed examination of the effects of having a memory aid available as opposed to the spontaneous use of that aid. Use of the memory aid resulted in longer decision times, more requests for information, and less rechecking of already viewed information. Younger and older adults with high abstraction scores and older adults with high vocabulary scores were more likely to use the aid. Patterns of use differed in that younger adults used the aid in the middle of their information gathering and older adults used the aid toward the end. Making a memory aid available for use during decision making affected decision-making processes of older adults; use of the aid was associated with greater crystallized and fluid intelligence.

    Abstract Bordetella bronchiseptica is an uncommon cause of respiratory infection in humans generally occurring in immunocompromised individuals exposed to infected animals. A 61-year-old female underwent a kidney-pancreas transplant 7 years before presentation. Postoperative immunosuppression was achieved with sirolimus and mycophenolate mofetil. The patient was doing well until she developed a small bowel obstruction secondary to adhesions. She underwent surgical adhesiolysis without complications. Two weeks postoperatively the patient developed pneumonia. She failed to respond to repeated courses of antibiotics, and thus, diagnostic bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed. BAL cultures grew B. bronchiseptica. Further investigation revealed that the patient's dogs had recently received a live-attenuated B. bronchiseptica intranasal vaccination. The patient recovered after 21 days of therapy with doxycycline based upon in vitro susceptibility testing. B. bronchiseptica is an uncommon but recognized human pathogen. It most commonly affects immunocompromised individuals. Here, we report a culture-proven case of B. bronchiseptica pneumonia in an immunocompromised host residing in a household with her dogs who had recently received live-attenuated, intranasal B. bronchiseptica vaccinations. As polymerase chain reaction testing was not performed comparing the isolated strain to the vaccination strain, the association is presumptive. This report expands the spectrum of immunocompromised hosts to include renal-pancreas transplant patients who have developed infection from B. bronchiseptica, while illustrating the risks associated with animal contacts and attenuated vaccines in the immunosuppressed population.

    Abstract Two studies examined the impact of think-aloud and self-report instructions on the decision-making performance of young and older adults. Findings from Study 1 indicated that think-aloud instructions increased total time to decision for young and older adults but did not otherwise affect decision-making processes. Counter to predictions, the only significant interaction effect indicated that young adults in the think-aloud condition more frequently rechecked information than older adults. Findings from Study 2 confirmed the nonreactive nature of self-report methods. Despite potential age-related decrements in cognitive function, differences in functioning are not compounded and cannot be explained by the think-aloud or self-report instructions used by cognitive aging researchers.

    Abstract The distinction between oncocytoma and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, important clinically, may be challenging, especially as the tissue sample size decreases. Ancillary studies can be helpful, although subject to interpretation and sample variability. The aim of this study was to examine the value of electron microscopy in differentiating between oncocytoma and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma on formalin fixed paraffin embedded needle core biopsies. Twenty renal needle core biopsies were evaluated. Despite formalin fixation and paraffin embedding, the classic ultrastructural features of these neoplasms were retained, revealing 80% sensitivity and 100% specificity by initial work-up.

    Abstract This study explored the use of process tracing techniques in examining the decision-making processes of older and younger adults. Thirty-six college-age and thirty-six retirement-age participants decided which one of six cars they would purchase on the basis of computer-accessed data. They provided information search protocols. Results indicate that total time to reach a decision did not differ according to age. However, retirement-age participants used less information, spent more time viewing, and re-viewed fewer bits of information than college-age participants. Information search patterns differed markedly between age groups. Patterns of retirement-age adults indicated their use of noncompensatory decision rules which, according to decision-making literature (Payne, 1976), reduce cognitive processing demands. The patterns of the college-age adults indicated their use of compensatory decision rules, which have higher processing demands.

    Abstract This study examines the influence of age and type of over-the-counter (OTC) medications on decision-making processes leading to the selection of OTC medications. Manipulating type of OTC medication served as a way of examining subjects' familiarity with the decision domain. Thirty-six younger and thirty-six older adults answered questions regarding their OTC medication purchases, and completed a decision task in which they searched four computerized displays of product label information in order to select an antacid, a cold medication, a laxative, and a pain reliever. In general, older adults were slower to review information, more likely to have used OTC medications, and more organized in their searches for information. Specific to pair relievers, older and younger adults demonstrated similar information use and time to decision, and older adults specifically tailored the organization of their information searches when choosing pain relievers. Clearly, older adults selectively use product information on OTC medication packages, given adequate time to process information. Manufacturers' efforts directed at improving information availability should benefit older adults' decision processes.

    Abstract A case of tuberculous spinal cord compression causing acute paraparesis in a pregnant woman of 33 weeks gestation is described. Immediate Caesarean section followed by aggressive surgical decompression of the spine via an anterior approach with reconstruction achieved a good outcome for mother and fetus. The management of tuberculous spinal cord compression in pregnancy is discussed, with particular reference to the timing of delivery. We recommend early decompression of the spine if there is progressive neurological compromise. The fetal management is secondary.
