	SCREENING FOR ASYMPTOMATIC UTI: URINE DIPSTICK IS BEST - Journal Watch (General) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Several tests are available for screening asymptomatic patients for urinary tract infection, including urine dipstick testing, urinalysis, gram staining, and urine culture.
		Asymptomatic UTI, defined as a urine culture yielding at least 100,000 uropathogens/ml, was identified in 2.3 percent.

	Exercise test predicts heart events in high risk asymptomatic men
		Among men without heart disease but who have significant cardiac risk factors, a poor performance on an exercise treadmill test is associated with more than doubling of the risk for a heart attack or other coronary heart disease event, according to a report in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.
		A risk score of 9 percent or less is considered low risk, 10 percent to 19 percent is considered intermediate risk, while a score of more than 20 percent, meaning that the person has a one in five chance of an event in 10 years, is classified as high risk.
		The study did not provide evidence to support exercise testing for asymptomatic women because the event rate in women was too low to suggest any significant correlations between the exercise results and future events, he said.

		In this study the immunological responses in HAM/TSP patients and in HTLV-I asymptomatic carriers were compared using several immunological assays to identify immunological markers associated with progression from infection to disease.
		A recent report [13] established a cohort of HTLV-I asymptomatic carries to study clinical events and documented an increased frequency of abnormalities, including a case of HAM/TSP.
		Evaluation of immunological responses in patients with HAM/TSP and asymptomatic carries is important for the understanding of the pathogenesis of the HAM/TSP, and to identify early immunological markers associated with progression from infection to disease.

		When the researchers compared the outcomes in the first two groups, they found that any type of antiretroviral therapy delayed disease progression and enhanced survival.
		"We've clearly shown that early treatment of asymptomatic infants-no matter what it is-makes a big difference in preventing or delaying the progression of the disease," said Maldonado.

		After 10 years, only 61.9% of those who presented with cirrhosis remained alive, compared with 94.0% of those without.

		In the studies, the investigators evaluated signs of periodontal disease in reportedly asymptomatic third molars of young adults aged 20-35, including probing depth, radiographic examination, inflammatory mediators, or levels of pathogenic organisms.
		Collectively, the study results indicate that there may be a higher incidence of periodontal disease associated with asymptomatic third molars in this age group than had been expected.
		The authors extrapolate that the oral inflammation associated with periodontal disease of third molars may make young adults at increased risk for inflammation throughout the body, placing these patients at risk for numerous systemic diseases.
