COMPARATIVE RESULTS OF TREATMENT WITH OTHER DRUGS Robert Bingham, M.D. GOOD INVESTORS ALWAYS SWEAT the small stuff. But better ones these days are sweating the really big stuff, such as China's great awakening, the price of oil and the direction of the dollar. If you don't believe this now, you will after reading the third and final installment of this year's Barron's Roundtable. Never before, it seems, have global goings-on played such a critical role in stock-picking. Each January, the editors of Barron's huddle for a full day, and then some, with some of the planet's best and brightest market seers, to whom we turn for investment advice on matters both macro and micro. This year's get-together took place Jan. 10 in Manhattan, and we shared the big -picture views and stock picks of most of our panelists in the past two issues. It is in this week's issue, however, that worldly affairs seem to weigh most on the collective views of our featured stockpickers: Oscar Schafer, Marc Faber, Bill Gross, Meryl Witmer and Archie MacAllaster. Well, not Archie, the chairman of MacAllaster Pitfield McKay, whose homegrown recommendations invariably are such winners that he seldom needs to gaze beyond these shores. His 2004 picks, for instance, returned an average of 21% -- 24% with dividends included -- and there wasn't a loser in the bunch. ; As for the rest of the crew, he does, most days, to run companies based in France China's clamorous demand Schafer would be a man of the world even if he never left his apartment which O.S.S. Capital Management in Manhattan ; . Among his favorite stocks are and Britain, and a tanker outfit, OMI, whose fortunes hinge in large part on for oil and quinine. Pyrazinamidase activity has been associated with pyrazinamide-susceptible Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. The detection of pyrazinamidase activity by the Wayne method was found to be of limited value when compared with the results of standard pyrazinam9de susceptibility tests, especially when a high level of pyrazinamidee resistance was found. When resistance to pyrazinamode reached a level of 150 to 200 Fg ml, there was too much variability in Wayne test results to accurately define pyrazinamide susceptibility. Active Infection Treatment is always with multiple drugs for 612 months on average and only initiated by a physician. The optimal initial regimen is three or four drugs, including INH, rifampin Rifadin ; , pyrazinamide Tebrazid ; , ethambutol Myambutol ; and streptomycin Table 6 ; . If drug resistance is a possibility, a four-drug regimen should be considered. In addition to the antituberculous drugs, the client may also be given vitamin B6 especially in the presence of alcoholism, diabetes mellitus or pregnancy, or if there is a concern about nutritional status ; , although this is optional and rebetol.
